Chapter 89: Welcome Back, Angel
RAW was in New Orleans, Louisiana and on that night, Cryme Tyme was facing Cody Rhodes and Sim Snuka and Delancey was making her return to RAW.
The Angels were at the hotel walking towards Delancey's hotel room and when reached there, Nicole knocked on the door and a minute later, Delancey opened the door.
"Hey!" Delancey said.
"Hey!" The Angels said as they hugged Delancey.
"Come in."
Then the Angels walked inside Delancey's hotel room and Delancey closed the door.
"I can't believe you cut your hair," Brittany said.
Delancey had her long hair cut to a shorter-length stopped at the ears.
"Yeah, you like it?" Delancey said.
"I love it," Nicole said. "I definitely love it, it definitely suits you."
"That's what Bobby said."
"So how have you occupied your time since 'Dancing with the Stars?'" Amanda said.
"Resting my feet for one, spending time with my husband and my daughter, and training to get back in the ring. Oh, my God, I'm still reeling from the moment I won on 'Dancing with the Stars.'"
"You think you're up for a dance-off if anybody challenges you?" Nicole said.
"We'll see."
A few minutes later, the Angels entered the arena and were walking down the hallway until…….
"Hey, ladies," Melina said as she came forward.
"Hi, Melina," the Angels said.
"Welcome back, Delancey, and congratulations on winning 'Dancing with the Stars.'"
"Thank you, I really appreciate it," Delancey said.
"Listen, this is a new year and I have a lot of things to get off my chest. I wanted to say I'm sorry to Nicole, Delancey, and Brittany because I know that we all had our differences the past four years and……I realized that everything I've done will back at me when I got injured last year. Seeing you girls as 'Eddie's Angels' and everything you're doing has helped me see the light and……I hope that we can start over as friends."
"Well, we appreciate your honesty and I think we can manage that," Nicole said.
"I agree with Nicole," Brittany said, "and we accept your apology."
Then Brittany extended her hand and Melina shook it.
"And by the way, Amanda," Melina said, "I'm looking forward to taking the Women's Championship from you at the Royal Rumble."
"I'm looking forward to it," Amanda said.
Then everyone went their separate ways.
Later, RAW was on and "Eddie's Angels'" entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Nicole Mitchell, Buffy, and the WWE Women's Champion Amanda, 'Eddie's Angels'," Lillian announced.
Nicole was wearing a red ruffled midriff tube top, black pants, and a black bandanna covering her straight. Amanda was wearing a red and black striped scoop neck tank top with a slashed back, black pants, her hair curled. Buffy was wearing a red zebra print tie neck dress and her hair curled.
The Angels walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and they entered the ring and were waving to the crowd as Nicole asked for a microphone.
"Tonight is a very special night for 'Eddie's Angels' because this marks the return of the winner of the seventh season of 'Dancing with the Stars,'" Nicole said. "Ladies and gentlemen, we want all of you to welcome back, Delancey Scott."
Delancey's new entrance theme, "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga featuring Colby O'Donis, played and she came out from the curtain.
Delancey was wearing a red tie-back halter top with a leatherette cutout adjustable belt, black pants, and her short hair curled.
Delancey walked down the ramp and around the ring slapping hands of the fans and hugged Jerry "The King" Lawler & Michael Cole and Delancey got on the apron and flipped into the ring and hugged the Angels. Then Delancey got on the turnbuckles and raised their arms in the air and they got back down as Nicole gave her the microphone.
"Thank you," Delancey said. "I am so happy to make my return here in the WWE as the winner of 'Dancing with the Stars' and……I still get goosebumps thinking about that wonderful moment in my life, so I wanna thank the entire WWE Universe for all of your support, thank you. But aside from that, I missed my girlfriends a lot and I wanna say thank you to Amanda for keeping the Angels together while I was away. I've been catching up on what's been happening with Vickie Guerrero since I've been gone and I just have one question: Vickie, what were you thinking taking those nude photos of yourself? Are you that desperate?"
Then Layla's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain. Layla walked down the ramp and got into the ring and walked towards Delancey.
"Delancey," Layla said, "you don't need to worry about what Vickie Guerrero is doing right now because when I found out that you won 'Dancing with the Stars' and that you were making your return tonight, I've been prepared to come out here and challenge you to a dance-off and it's gonna happen right now."
"I figured this was gonna happen because obviously jealous of "Eddie's Angels," Delancey said. "Guess what? I'm prepared, too, so let's start this dance-off right now."
Then Delancey dropped the microphone as "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga started playing in the arena and Layla started dancing.
Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah
I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas, please
Fold em', let em', hit me, raise it, baby, stay with me (I love it)
Lovegame intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked, I'll play the one that's on his heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
Then Delancey stepped up to the middle of the ring and started dancing.
I wanna roll with him, a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me (I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby, when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun, fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No, he can't read my poker face
(She's got me like nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
Then the song faded as the crowd cheered and chanted "Delancey!"
"Well, Layla," Delancey said onto the microphone, "I guess we both know who won this dance-off."
Then Layla looked down and went for a clothesline but Delancey ducked and kicked Layla in the midsection and landed a DDT. Then the Angels raised each other's arms in the air and smiled down at Layla as they left the ring and Delancey waved to the crowd as the Angels walked up the ramp in a group hug as RAW went to a commercial break.
A little later, Shawn Michaels was in the locker room and John & Nicole walked towards him. Shawn got up from the chair and looked at them both.
"Alright, the situation is what it is," John said. "Am I fighting three guys or two guys tonight? Just what can I expect out there? Am I getting HBK or am I getting JBL's puppet?"
"I'm nobody's puppet, John!" Shawn said. "As far as what you can expect, what does history tell you to expect from me?"
Then Shawn walked away as Nicole sighed.
John and Shawn were actually going to be partners in a tag team match against Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels because earlier, Randy and Chris contested John "Bradshaw" Layfield's number one contendership for World Heavyweight Championship because of Shawn sacrificing his chance to face John for the title at the Royal Rumble.
A little later, it was time for the tag team match which was Cryme Tyme versus Cody Rhodes and Sim Snuka, also known as Deuce.
The Priceless entrance theme played and Cody Rhodes & Sim Snuka came out from the curtain and the two walked down the ramp and got into the ring and Cryme Tyme's entrance theme played and they came out from the curtain with Amanda following them. Shad and JTG high-fived each other and they walked down the ramp and Shad & Amanda got into the ring first as JTG ran around the ramp and got on the apron and was bouncing up and down between the ropes and Amanda dancing along as JTG got into the ring. Then JTG got on the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air and got back down as he took off his jacket and Shad took off his basketball jersey and Amanda, Shad, and Cody left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Sim and JTG circled around the ring and locked up and JTG went behind Sim with a wristlock and Sim went behind and countered with a waistlock of his own and shoved JTG to the ropes but JTG held and Sim charged into a back elbow and JTG kicked Sim and went for a suplex but Sim blocked and got a roll-up for a two count. Then the two locked up again and JTG got a headlock and Sim shoved JTG to the ropes and JTG ducked a clothesline and got a flying shoulder tackle for a two count and JTG got Sim in the corner as Shad got a blind tag and JTG twisted Sim's arm as Shad bounced off the ropes and JTG whipped Sim onto Shad for a shoulder block. Then Shad got Sim in the corner and got a back elbow as he made the tag to JTG and Shad whipped JTG and flew him onto Sim and Cody went behind JTG and JTG got a big right hand and Sim kicked JTG and got a big right hand and went to whip JTG but JTG reversed twisting Sim's arm and got a clothesline.
Then JTG landed a dropkick and JTG whipped Sim to the ropes but Sim hung on and JTG went after him and Sim kicked him in the face as he made the tag to Cody. Then JTG got a couple of right hands but Cody got a knee to the midsection and tossed JTG over the top rope to the apron and JTG got a couple of right hands as Cody distracted the referee. Sim took down JTG and Cody stomped on JTG before the referee pulled him off and Cody dragged JTG to the middle of the ring and covered for a two count. Then Cody kicked JTG in the back, landed a right hand, and then a suplex before making the tag to Sim and Sim bounced off the ropes and landed a flying fist drop for a two count and Sim landed an elbow drop and applied a headlock and JTG broke out of the hold with right hands to the midsection and Sim clubbed JTG in the back of the head and shoved JTG to the ropes and JTG ducked a clothesline and JTG landed a flying back DDT.
The two men were down and slowly made a tag to their partners and Shad ducked a clothesline and landed a couple of his own and he whipped Cody to the ropes and got a big back body drop before knocking Sim off the apron. Then Shad got a suplex on Cody and bouncing off the ropes to land an elbow drop and went for the cover but Sim got into the ring and Shad got a big forearm and clotheslined Sim over the top rope before he went to splash Cody in the corner but Cody moved and JTG made a blind tag and leaped over the rope rolling Cody up for a two count. Then JTG got a couple of knees to the midsection and went for a right hand but Cody blocked and came back with a corkscrew DDT out of nowhere for the pin.
Amanda shook her head as Sim got into the ring and the referee raised Cody and Sim's arms in the air; but the victory proved to be short-lived for Sim because he and Cody were competing to be part of Randy Orton's group Legacy and Sim was out since Cody made the pin.
A little later, it was time for the tag team match which was John and Shawn Michaels versus Randy Orton and Chris Jericho. Every man made their way to the ring as the referee called for the bell.
John and Chris opened with a tie-up and Chris got a side headlock sending John to the mat and John got to his feet and John shoved Chris to the ropes and Chris got a shoulder block and Chris bounced off the ropes and John got a headlock against Chris and Chris got to his feet and shoved John to the ropes but Shawn made a blind tag and John ducked a clothesline from Chris as he lifted him the FU and Chris escaped and Shawn went for a kick Chris but Chris ducked and the kick headed toward John. They stopped for a second and then they went after Chris clothes lining him over the top rope and then JBL came out from the curtain to watch from the ramp and Shawn stared at him as Randy attacked him from behind and was stomping on him and then Randy got a headlock on Shawn and Shawn escaped with elbows to the midsection and Shawn got a back suplex and the two men were down as John reached for a tag and got it and John ducked a clothesline and bounced off the ropes and got a couple of flying shoulder tackles and got a sitout hiptoss.
Then John did the "You can't see me" and bounced off the ropes to land the Five Knuckle Shuffle and he went for the FU but Chris got into the ring and Shawn cut off his interference by knocking him out with a right hand and Randy got a rake in John's eyes and John mistakenly lifted Shawn for the FU and Shawn broke free and argued with John and shoved him as Randy attacked John from behind and the referee escorted Shawn to his corner as Randy and Chris double-teamed John clubbing him in the back. Then Chris quickly left the ring and Randy was stalking John as he kicked him in the midsection and made the tag to Chris and Chris kicked John in the midsection and Chris choked John on the bottom rope with his boot and Chris distracted the referee as Randy took a cheap shot on John and Chris grabbed John and trash-talked him as he slapped him and got a right hand before applying a corner foot choke and Chris distracted the referee as Randy took another cheap shot and Chris bounced off the ropes and got a baseball slide sending John out of the ring.
Then Chris threw John head-first into the announce table and Chris threw John back in the ring and leaped into the ring with a splash for a two count. Then Chris applied a rear naked choke hold and John countered with the FU and Chris countered with a DDT for two count and Chris held onto John as he made the tag to Randy and Randy clubbed John in the back and got some hard forearms to the back and stomped John in the head. Then Randy looked at Shawn and Randy was stomping on John all over before landing a knee drop and covered for a two count and Randy grabbed John's legs and was stomping on his chest-twice before John crawled to the corner and Randy stalked John and got a corner foot choke.
Then Randy made the tag to Chris and John began a comeback with right hands and a back elbow and he bounced off the ropes before Chris grabbed John and applied a sleeper hold and John reached for a tag and Shawn half-heartedly reached out and Chris took John to the mat with the sleeper nearer his corner and John powered out and he kicked Chris in the midsection and went to whip him to the corner but Chris reversed and splashed John and Chris placed John on the turnbuckle and got a couple of right hands before he climbed up the turnbuckle and went for a suplex but John blocked and pushed Chris off and John landed a legdrop on the back of Chris' neck and the two men were down. John reached for a tag and Chris tagged in Randy first and Randy stopped John and pulled him to the middle of the ring for a two count and Randy got some hard right hands and Randy whipped John to the ropes but John hung on as he avoided a dropkick and John fell on the mat.
John and Randy were slow to get up and John dove and made the tag to Shawn and he didn't go after Randy and he turned and looked at John for a moment and Chris charged at him but Shawn turned and landed a right hand and Shawn went to whip Chris but Chris reversed and Shawn got a flying forearm and landed an atomic drop and a right hand and Shawn went for another atomic drop but Chris countered with a faceplant and went for a Lionsault but Shawn lifted his knees. Shawn got a suplex on Chris and climbed the top turnbuckle and went for a top rope elbow but Chris lifted his knees and Shawn clutched at his ribs and Chris took Shawn down and went for a Walls of Jericho but Shawn turned it into a small package but Randy charged in and broke it up. John entered the ring landing a couple of right hands and went to whip Randy but Randy reversed and gave him a backbreaker and Randy went for the RKO but John countered and Shawn superkicked Randy and then Chris and looked at John as he covered Chris and scored the pin.
Shawn looked at John as nodded & smiled as Shawn was out there in Nicole's mind and John "Bradshaw" Layfield watched the whole thing as Todd Grisham walked up to him
"JBL, it seems that Shawn Michaels' integrity is still intact," Todd said.
"My employee was great out there tonight, it's gonna be interesting to see how great he is next week. You see, I had a little talk with Stephanie McMahon and next week, Shawn Michaels will match-up against…….John Cena and to make sure Michaels maintains his integrity, I'm gonna be in his corner."
John and Nicole celebrating in the ring and John was calling for Shawn to celebrate with him as he stood on the apron and then he entered the ring and John extended his hand and mouthed the words "I know you" as RAW came to a close.
After RAW was over, the Angel, Brittany, and Ulysses were all the French Quarter in New Orleans to celebrate Buffy's birthday.
After about a couple of hours of checking out the famous attractions, the music clubs and walking over Royal & Bourbon street, the gang was walking back to the hotel.
"I have to say that this is one of the best birthdays I have ever had," Buffy said.
"I'm glad you're having a good time," Nicole said.
"So what's next for 'Eddie's Angels'?" Amanda said.
"What do you mean?" Delancey said.
"Well, now that you're back, I guess I'll making my departure now, huh?"
"Actually, no; Nicole and I have talked about it and we thought you and Buffy should stay."
"Really?" Buffy said.
"Yep," Nicole said, "you two have put a lot of work into keeping the Angels together and some of the Divas are starting to wear themselves down knowing that messing with us at Night of Champions was the wrong thing to do."
"And the bigger this group is," Delancey said, "the stronger it can be. You girls deserve to be in 'Eddie's Angels' and I'm sure Rochelle would want that, too."
"Okay, if you say so," Amanda said.
"I mean, after all, Amanda, you are the Women's Champion and you are in a group of former Women's Champions and Buffy, you are the last one to earn a Women's Title when you get the chance."
"I would hope so," Buffy said.
