Chapter 86: The End of A Hellish Angelic Year

RAW was in Manchester, New Hampshire and there was a Divas' Battle Royal to determine the number one contender for Amanda's Women's Championship.

Nicole and Brittany were in the Angels' locker room going over some final details for the engagement party.

"Okay, we got the guest list checked out," Nicole said, "the food, the band, the decorations: Amanda and I got that and that's it."

"Great," Brittany said, "this is gonna be so awesome, an engagement party to kick off the new year of 2009. How long has 'Eddie's Angels' been around this year?"

"I have to say nearly eight months. That's a record because usually it's nearly three."

"It's like Vickie Guerrero knows about us and she'll do whatever it takes to knock us off the trail."

"Well, that's not gonna happen; if it's gonna take another eight months for her to leave, I don't care; I'm not backing down."

"So what's next?"

"We'll do whatever we can; I'll embarrass her or stalk her if I have to."

Then RAW was on and John & Nicole were in Stephanie McMahon's office.

"Are you serious?"

"I'm very serious, John," Stephanie said. "This is my show."

"I know that."

"And tonight, there is a Fatal Four-Way Match to determine who's gonna face you for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble. I thought you wanna be ringside so I have you do commentary."

"Commentary? Wow, Stephanie, thanks a lot. That'll be so exciting, not only for myself, WWE Superstar, John Cena, but for all the WWE Universe watching. That's lame; I'll tell you what, I'll do the commentary. 'Hey, Michael Cole, don't you all these guys in this match are former World Champions? I like spareribs and I don't know who's going to Royal Rumble. I'd just hope I come out the World Heavyweight Champion. Did you know that Dykstra is spelled backwards as Artskyd?' That's lame! That's about as lame as Mike Adamle as General Manager of RAW."

"It was Shane's idea."

"Same family, Steph," Nicole said, "same family."

"It's the final RAW of 2008!" John said. "I'm fired up, let's do something big, crazy! Let's get a monster truck to crush a car or shoot a man out of a cannon or remake 'Smokey and the Band' or something! I'll tell you what, do you think these people would rather see a riveting episode of brutal guest commentary? Silence……Or would they rather see you, Stephanie McMahon, really put your mind to work and make a match with Mike Knox, with me, with Rey Mysterio, with whoever the hell else you wanna put in there, a match so tremendous, so spectacular, so unbelievable that it changes life on this planet?!…….Well, it's the sound of demand. Well, we know what they, you know what they want, but your show. Walking away."

Then John and Nicole walked out of Stephanie's office as Stephanie thought about taking up on John's offer.

The idea came when Rey Mysterio demanded satisfaction after Shawn Michaels rescued John "Bradshaw" Layfield and got Rey disqualified from participating in the Fatal Four-Way match to face John for the World Heavyweight Championship. Rey asked Shawn for a match with the winner moving on to compete in the Fatal Four Way Elimination Match featuring Shawn, JBL, Randy Orton and Chris Jericho. JBL, however, wouldn't hear of it and acting in his capacity as Shawn' employer, JBL told Rey no and Mike Knox attacked Rey as Shawn followed JBL forced by him to leave Rey to fend for himself and John ran in and helped out.

Several minutes later, it was time for the Divas' Battle Royal to determine the number one contender for Amanda's Women's Championship.

Amanda's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain and she walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and went around the ring waving at them as she sat down at the announcers' table.

"Well, hello, Amanda," Jerry "the King" Lawler said. "Good to see you."

"Good to see you too," Amanda said.

"Well, Amanda," Michael Cole said, "you've had a pretty tough year in the beginning but at the end, you came out as the Women's Champion and as a member of 'Eddie's Angels.' How does it feel?"

"I feel great, I feel amazed, this is only the beginning for me and I know that next year will be even better and I'm looking forward to it."

The participants coming out from the curtain where Nicole, Tina, Kimberly, Kayla, Madison Spears, Shayna Brooke, Skye, Candice Michelle, Beth Phoenix, Katie Lea Burchill, Jillian Hall, Kelly Kelly, Melina, and Mickie James.

Nicole was wearing a green camouflage midriff top, black shorts, black stockings, and her hair curled. Tina was wearing a green race car top, black shorts, black stockings, and her hair curled. Kimberly was wearing a sparkling green off-the-shoulder top, black shorts, black stockings, and her hair curled. Kayla was wearing a black see-through top, burgundy spaghetti strap tank top, black pants, and her hair flipped. Madison was wearing a lavender halter bikini top with an attached belt buckle, black pants, and her hair in a ponytail. Skye was wearing a purple bikini top and boy shorts with white polka dots and her hair in high ponytails. Shayna was wearing a lavender tie-neck halter midriff top with a slit and sequined edges on the bust, black shorts, and her hair straight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this Divas Battle Royal will go on to face Amanda for the WWE Women's Championship," Lillian Garcia announced.

Then the bell rang as the battle royal started and after a few minutes, Candice was eliminated by Katie and she & Jillian clotheslined Mickie as Madison eliminated Kayla and Melina & Kelly tried to eliminate Katie. Jillian attacked Kelly and eliminated her as Skye and Shayna tried to eliminate Tina and Mickie eliminated them both and dropkicked Tina off the ropes. Katie attacked Mickie from behind as Jillian was taking care of Mickie and Nicole was laying chops to Madison as she whipped her to the ropes and Kimberly landed a spinning heel kick and Katie kicked Kimberly in the midsection and Nicole landed a flying clothesline as Madison landed some forearms to Mickie and then got her shoulders and went to throw her out of the ring but Mickie headscissored Madison out of the ring.

Beth tried desperately to eliminate Nicole but Nicole held onto the ropes and Kimberly jumped Beth for the rear naked chokehold and Beth rammed Kimberly to the corner and Kimberly held on as Beth got a snap mare and tossed her out of the ring to eliminate her and then Nicole got a drop kick to Beth sending her out of the ring. Then Rosa Mendes came out from the crowd and pulled Nicole out of the ring and was beating on her and security dragged her away and Nicole was shocked as Mickie eliminated both Katie and Jillian who tried to eliminate Melina. It came down to Mickie and Melina and Melina & Mickie locked up and Mickie twisted Melina's arm and Melina countered into a side headlock and Mickie hit Melina in the side and shoved her to the ropes and got a shoulder block and Melina bounced off the ropes and halted for a break.

Then the referee raised Melina's arm in the air and then she looked at Amanda as she climbed the top turnbuckle and pointed at her as Amanda raised the Women's Championship Title belt in the air as RAW went to a commercial break.

A little later, it was time for the ten-man tag team match in which Stephanie McMahon took John's advice of adding to end the year of 2008. John and Rey Mysterio's tag team partners were Cryme Tyme & Kofi Kingston and they were facing the Miz & John Morrison, Kane, Mike Knox, and Dolph Ziggler. Every man made their way to the ring as the referee called for the bell.

JTG opened against Dolph and JTG had his fists up as Dolph shoved him and tried to introduce himself to him. Then JTG went to whip Dolph but Dolph reversed whipping JTG to the ropes for a leapfrog leg drop for a two count and JTG shoved Dolph to the corner as Shad made a blind tag and Shad whipped JTF and flew him over onto Dolph. Then Shad hit Dolph's head onto the turnbuckle and whipped to the corner and went for a splash but Dolph moved and made a tag to Morrison and Morrison bounced off the ropes and Shad got a big clothesline. Then Shad twisted Morrison bounced off the ropes and Shad got a big clothesline. Then Shad twisted Morrison's arm as he made the tag to Kofi and Kofi leaped into the ring and onto the turnbuckle and leaped into an armdrop on Morrison's arm and covered for a two count and then Morrison got a knee to the midsection and whipped Kofi to the ropes and Kofi went through the ropes to land a double leg shoot kick and landed a standing dropkick and a leaping clothesline until everyone jumped into the ring and everyone got out as the Miz attacked Kofi behind and he whipped him to the corner and Kofi flew onto the middle turnbuckle and went for a flying bodyblock but Miz moved.

Miz applied a camel clutch and Kofi got to his feet and got a couple of back elbows until the Miz pulled him down by the hair and the Miz argued with the referee then talked trash to the Miz and Kofi got a head scissors takedown before Rey got a hot-tag and ducked a clothesline as he bounced off the ropes as slid under Miz's legs and kicked Miz in the face and bounced off the ropes to land a head scissors takedown sending Miz to the corner. Rey went to whip Miz but Miz reversed and charged into a kick in the face and Rey climbed up the turnbuckle and landed a hurricurrana. Then Rey almost knocked Mike off the apron and got a kick to Miz's back of the head and covered for a two count and Miz caught Rey in the throat and shoved him to the ropes and Rey kicked Miz in the face again and Rey bounced off the ropes and got on Miz's shoulder and was punching his head and Miz backed into the ropes and Kane interfered with a punch to Rey's face while the referee was busy with Cryme Tyme and Miz covered for a two count and then Miz made the tag to Kane and Kane whipped Rey hard to the ropes and Kane grabbed Rey for a backbreaker and made the tag to Mike and Kane looked down at Rey as Mike got a knee drop and was choking Rey with his knee and landed a hard right hand sending Rey to the corner and Mike whipped Rey to the corner and splashed him.

Then Mike dragged Rey and made the tag to Dolph and Dolph kicked Rey in the shoulder and Dolph choked Rey with his boot and argued with the referee as Dolph applied a headlock and Rey got to his feet wit back elbows to the midsection and Dolph went for a back suplex but Rey countered and Dolph landed a clothesline. Then Dolph dragged Rey and held onto him as he made a tag to Morrison and Morrison stomped on Rey before punching away at him and he landed a European uppercut before placing him on the top turnbuckle and clubbing in the back and Morrison climbed the turnbuckle and went for a back suplex but Rey blocked and got some right hands and stood on the top rope and landed an amazing hurricurrana and Morrison made the tag to Mike and missed a splash on Rey in the corner.

Rey made the tag to John and John ducked a clothesline and knocked Kane off the apron and got some right hands before he went to whip Mike but Mike reversed whipping John to the ropes and got a couple shoulder blocks and ducked a double clothesline from Miz & Morrison and Cryme Tyme got a forearm on both and Kane grabbed John by his throat and Kofi climbed the top turnbuckle and dropkicked Kane off of John sending him out of the ring and John ducked a clothesline from Mike and landed a sitout hiptoss and John then caught him with his throw drop slam suplex and did the same to Dolph. John and Kofi pumped themselves getting Nicole and Shayna excited and John did the "You can't see me" as he and Kofi bounced off the ropes and Kofi landed the boom-boom-boom leg drop as John landed the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Then Kofi hit the Trouble in Paradise kick as John finished Mike with the FU and John made the tag to Rey and Rey climbed the turnbuckle and landed the frog splash for the win.

Then John, Kofi, Cryme Tyme, Nicole, Amanda and Shayna got into the ring and John lifted Rey off his feet and everyone's arms were raised in the air. John hugged Rey as Kofi hugged Shad and then the girls high-fived each other as Rey slapped hands with everyone as RAW went to a commercial break.

A little later, "Eddie's Angels" were walking down the hallway and as they reached the Women's Locker Room, Nicole knocked on the door.

"Kelly, come out of there," Nicole said.

Then Kelly Kelly stepped out of the Women's Locker Room.

"What is it?" Kelly said.

"You know what," Amanda said. "Have you lost your mind? Randy Orton? Kane was stalking you and you said that you're in love with the Miz? Then we come to find out that you're in love with Randy Orton?"

"Have you forgotten who Randy Orton is and what he has done?" Buffy said. "Did you happen to forget what he did to Rochelle's husband, Batista?"

"Well, I……" Kelly said.

"You know what?" Nicole said. "Don't say anything because I thought you were better than that. If you had a problem with Kane, you could've asked the Boyz in Motion for help but now I know why. You definitely have relationship issues. Let's go."

Then the Angels walked away.

They found out that two weeks after being stalked and fibbing to Kane about the identity of her secret lover, Kelly Kelly confronted her real secret romance …….Randy Orton! Kelly Kelly said that she felt the night they had was special and after berating him for not calling her back, Randy told the Kelly that he didn't need her to protect him against Kane. He then blew her off by calling her pathetic, telling her that he used her, that didn't need any distractions while vying for the World Heavyweight Championship. The whole thing was bizarre to "Eddie's Angels" knowing that Randy Orton was their first and only victim.

A little later after RAW after RAW was over, Amanda was in her hotel room going through some photos with a smile on her face. These photos were taken around the time Amanda joined "Eddie's Angels," some of her with the Angels, Cryme Tyme, and her mother.

In her mind, Amanda was thankful that "Eddie's Angels" helped her turn her life around and was happier than ever. She wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world.

Then Amanda went over to the nightstand and grabbed her cell phone and dialed Shad's number. After a few rings, Shad answered the call.

"Hey," Amanda said. "You feel like coming over next door?……Okay, see you in a minute."

Then Amanda ended the call.
