Chapter 112: Wrestlemania Bound

RAW was in Kimberly Montgomery's hometown of Dallas, Texas and on that night, John was facing the Big Show, Rey Mysterio was facing John "Bradshaw" Layfield, and "Eddie's Angels" were taking part in the first-ever March Madness contest.

The Angels were in their locker room looking over their outfits for their March Madness contest when there was a knock at the door.

Then Ulysses opened the door to reveal John.

"Hey, John," Ulysses said.

"What's up?" John said. "Nicole, come here; I gotta talk to you."

"Okay," Nicole said.

Then Nicole walked out of "Eddie's Angels'" locker room as she closed the door.

"What is it?" Nicole said.

"Guess who is named Wish Ambassador for the Make-A-Wish Foundation," John said.

"Shut up!"

"Yep, they're gonna announce it Saturday when the WWE and I are hosting a pizza party for the kids and their families."

"Oh, my God, John!"

Then Nicole jumped in John's arms as she hugged him.

"I just wanted you to be the first to know," John said.

"John, you have no idea how proud of I am of you," Nicole said as she pulled away.

"Hey, right back to you."

Then John and Nicole kissed each other passionately.

Meanwhile, Delancey was in the catering room making a cup of coffee when Evan Bourne approached next to her.

"Hey, Evan," Delancey said.

"Hey, Delancey," Evan said.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm doing great."

"So are you excited about Wrestlemania this Sunday?"

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the Angels in the Playboy Evening Gown match."

"Don't let my husband hear you say that because you know he's a MMA fighter and he will kick your ass."

"I'm actually talking about seeing Jasmine as one of the lumberjills."

"You and Jasmine are getting pretty close, aren't you?"

"Yeah, she and I are always having a lot of fun together."

"Well, Jasmine just can't seem to stop talking about you: I mean, she's crazy in lover with you."

"Yeah, well, I love her, too; lucky for me, I live four hours away from her in Florida."

"Well, if things go well between you and Jasmine, which I know they are, maybe you should ask her to move in with you."

"Yeah, I'll probably do that; probably before then, I'll ask her to marry me."

"That'll make Jasmine even more happier."

Later, RAW was on and John was going to be in an interview with Todd Grisham.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, John Cena," Todd said as John and Nicole came forward and John patted Todd hard on the back.

Nicole was wearing a blue tube top, denim miniskirt, and her hair curled.

"John," Todd said, "we're just six days away from the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania where you face not one but two opponents, of course, the World's Largest Athlete, the Big Show and the Rated R……"

Then Edge walked inside the locker room and said,

"Given his opponents at Wrestlemania, the chances of John Cena walking out as champion are virtually non-existent." Then Edge took off his sunglasses and Todd walked away. "But it doesn't have to be that way. You know, two weeks ago on RAW, the Big Show, he knocked you out; last week on RAW, he knocked me out. He's seven feet tall, he's 450 pounds on a light day. He could pick us off at will, but it doesn't have to be that way. If we could put aside our differences, we could take out the Big Show and then once we do that, we can beat the hell out of each other all night long. But make no mistake about it; unless we do that, unless we get on the same page, you and I are sitting ducks. So do we have an understanding?"

"It makes perfect sense," John said. "It's intelligent, it's logical, it may be the only way to take out the Big Show. But I don't care. You see, I don't like you and I've never trusted you and to be quite honest, Edge, I'd rather lose on my own than win with your help. The funny thing is neither one of those scenarios is gonna happen because I told you on Smackdown, I'm going to Wrestlemania to be the World Heavyweight Champion."

Then John and Nicole walked out of the locker room.

Then it was time for the match between Rey Mysterio and John "Bradshaw" Layfield.

Rey Mysterio's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him. Rochelle was wearing a blue vest-styled top, denim miniskirt, and her hair curled. Rey went on both sides of the stage turning on the pyro and he & Rochelle walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and got into the ring and Rey took off his shirt and went on the top turnbuckle and raised his arms in the air as he threw his shirt to the crowd.

Then Rey got back down and John "Bradshaw" Layfield's entrance theme played and the limo came from the side of the arena. Then the driver came out of the limo and he opened the door and JBL came out with a microphone in his hand.

"Como esta, Rey," JBL said. "I said on Smackdown that I was gonna deliver the most decisive victory in Wrestlemania history. Well, tonight, well, this is psychological; you see, I asked for this because I'm going to beat you tonight within an inch of his life to let you know that in the six days on the grandest stage of them all with the lights on bright, the biggest pay-per-view in wrestling history……" Then JBL got into the ring, "……and you will be history. So don't take it personally, amigo."

Rey and Rochelle were talking smack to JBL as he smiled and he took off his hat as Rochelle left the ring and the referee called for the bell.

JBL and Rey locked up and JBL got Rey in the corner and then there was a break before JBL simply got a boot to the head and clubbed Rey in the back of the neck and landed a right hand and whipped Rey to the ropes and Rey held on as he kicked JBL in the face . Then Rey got a flying head scissors sending JBL to the middle rope and he went for the 619 but JBL escaped and got a shoulder tackle as he bounced off the ropes and went for an elbowdrop but Rey moved and kicked JBL in the face and went for a springboard cross body off the second rope but JBL landed a boot to the midsection. JBL standing over Rey as he got Rey in a waistlock and Rey got a back elbow to escape and Rey bounced off the ropes and ducked a clothesline and Rey went for a cross body but JBL caught him and tossed him out of the ring with a fallaway slam.

JBL got out of the ring and kicked him in the chest and in the head and threw him back into the ring and covered him for a two count. Then JBL landed a big right hand and got Rey in the corner and landed another right hand several times as the referee tried to hold him back and JBL landed a boot to the head and JBL got Rey on the top turnbuckle and Rey landed several right hands and kicked JBL off as he landed a seated senton and he bounced off the ropes and ducked a big boot as he slid under JBL's legs. Rey went to kick JBL but JBL held onto his leg and Rey landed an enzuigiri sending JBL to the middle rope and Rey went for the 619 but JBL escaped and Rey got a dropkick sending JBL to the middle rope and Rey bounced off the ropes and landed the 619 and climbed the top turnbuckle and landed a splash for the win.

Then Rochelle got in the ring and hugged Rey as the referee and Rochelle raised his arms in the air and Rye & Rochelle left the ring and Rochelle smiled as JBL got up in disbelief.

Then it was time for the match which was John versus the Big Show.

John's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Nicole following him. The two walked down the ramp and got inside the ring and John was pumping himself up and took off his HLR Academy baseball cap and threw it to the crowd and raised his arms in the air. Then the Big Show's entrance theme played and the pyro was set off as he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring and stared at John as John took his HLR Academy t-shirt and threw it to the crowd and then he took off his dog tags and gave them to Nicole and as Nicole left the ring as the referee called for the bell.

Big Show and John went to lock up but Big Show immediately kicked John in the midsection and tossed him down and then he took him to the corner and landed a right hand twice into the midsection and stomped on him before Big Show took John to the corner and landed a chop to the chest. Then Big Show stood on John holding onto the top rope and then clubbed John in the back and stepped on John before stomping on him and then got a head butt and Big Show stood on John and John rolled around and Big Show got John tied to the middle & top rope and applied a hold before nailing him in the back and he did it again.

Then Big Show grabbed John and John was hitting some rights and lefts on Big Show's midsection and then he bounced off the ropes and went for a flying shoulder tackle but Big Show got a big block and stepped on John holding onto the top rope and landed a head butt and he whipped John to the corner and went for a splash but John moved and was landing a right hand and bounced off the ropes and went for a cross body but Big Show press slammed John and was dragging him to the corner as he stomped away John methodically.

Then Big Show climbed the middle turnbuckle and went for the swinging elbow drop but John moved and he climbed to the top turnbuckle and landed a legdrop to the back of Big Show's neck and John went for the STF but Big Show kicked John away and John was on the big apron as Big Show slidekicked John to the floor. Then Big Show got of the ring and grabbed John as he rammed his back into the ringpost and then Big Show grabbed John whipped him into the security wall and Big Show threw John back in the ring and applied an upperbody chinlock and Big Show let go of the hold and he stepped on John holding onto the top rope and did it again standing on his hand and Big Show stood on John and went for the chokeslam but John countered with a DDT.

Then John went for the STF but Big Show was too big to wrap his arms around and Big Show elbowed himself free and the two men were down as Big Show went for a KO punch but John ducked and went for the Attitude Adjuster but his back gave out and Big Show grabbed John's throat and landed the chokeslam for a clean win.

Then the referee raised the Big Show's arm in the air and Edge entered the ring and the Big Show stared at him as Edge pounced away on John as the Big Show just leaned in the corner and watched. Then Nicole got into the ring and kicked Edge in the back of the head and then looked at the Big Show as he backed away and out of the ring and Edge rolled out of the ring as he stared at Nicole and RAW went to a commercial break.

Later, it was time for the March Madness contest and Tina Alexander & Kimberly Montgomery from the Chain Gang Diva Squad were standing in the middle of the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the WWE Universe," Tina said, "in just six days at the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania, 'Eddie's Angels' will take part in the six-Diva Playboy Evening Gown tag team match. But tonight, the Angels will take part in the first-ever March Madness contest. They will come out sporting basketball jerseys in honor of the sports teams and you, the WWE Universe will choose the winner. So let's get the contest started with our first participant representing the University of Missouri, Nicole Mitchell."

Nicole's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with pom-poms in her hands. Nicole was wearing her University of Missouri basketball jersey in black, white, and gold. Nicole walked down the ramp raising her pom-poms in the air and did Melina's ring entrance and raised her arms in the air.

"Next, also representing the University of Missouri, Delancey Scott," Tina said.

Delancey's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with a basketball in her hand. Nicole was wearing her University of Missouri basketball jersey in gold, white, & black, a black miniskirt, and her hair straight. Delancey walked down the ramp and got on the ring apron and flipped into the ring. Then Delancey threw her basketball to the crowd and stood next to Nicole.

"The next participant representing the University of Florida, Rochelle Kennedy," Tina said.

Rochelle's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with a baton in her hand. Rochelle was wearing her University of Florida basketball jersey in blue, orange and white. Rochelle walked down the ramp twirling her baton in the air and went around the ring, got up on the apron, and flipped her hair backwards as she got into the ring. Then Rochelle raised her baton in the air as she stood next to Delancey.

"From Ohio State University, Amanda," Tina said.

Amanda's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with pom-poms in her hands.

"Alright, WWE Universe," Tina said, "no brackets, seeds, regions or nothing; it's time for you to choose the winner of the March Madness contest." Then Kimberly stood behind each Angel as she placed her hand above her heads.

"Is it Nicole?" Tina said as the crowd cheered. "Is it Delancey? Is it Amanda? Is it Buffy? Or is it Brittany?"

The crowd was close to cheer for Buffy and Brittany but Buffy had the more advantage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your winner is Buffy!" Tina said.

Then Buffy blew a kiss to the crowd and waved at them as the Angels hugged her and then their arms were raised along with Kimberly and Tina.

A little later after RAW was over, Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, and Cody Rhodes were coming out from the entrance to the arena and walked towards "Eddie's Angels" who were waiting for them.

Accompanied by Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase and a group of security guards, Randy Orton came to the ring for his special Wrestlemania address. While describing his reprehensible actions in recent months, he explained how every step of the way was part of a plan to destroy everything Triple H cares about. He then began detailing how the balance of power in WWE would permanently shift in his favor following his Wrestlemania win without "Eddie's Angels" in his way.

But before Randy could finish outlining his twisted vision of the future, a black limo arrived and though Randy expected Triple H to make an appearance, calling Cody and Ted to his side, he was stunned by who accompanied him. Joining Triple H were Vince McMahon and his son, Shane. The three family members made their way down the ramp, where they collided with Randy and his "Legacy," ending RAW in a massive, heated Wrestlemania-bound brawl.

"You think this is some kind of sick joke?" Nicole said holding the knife in Randy's face. "I know it was you and your Legacy buddies who planted those knives at out door trying to scare us; it's not working. You should've been fired but I know what you're trying to pull and pretty soon, it'll blow up in your face."

"Now if you don't mind," Rochelle said, "you may leave the arena and your stuff is already outside."

Then Randy stared at the Angels as he, Cody, and Ted walked away.

Wrestlemania was bound to be one event nobody will ever forget with all the personal and professional lives on the line.
