Chapter 117: The WWE Draft

RAW was in Atlanta, Georgia and it was the night at the 2009 WWE Draft.

Amanda was backstage talking her mom on her cell phone.

"I'm doing good," Amanda said. "Tonight is the 2009 WWE Draft and things are going to shake up here in the WWE……I don't know if I'm gonna get drafted, but if I do, I'll be totally okay with it. I mean, I've been on RAW nearly two years and maybe, just maybe going to Smackdown could be a nice change of an environment. I would hate to leave Shad and J behind on RAW but there's the supplementary draft; so we'll see what happens……Okay, mom, I love you too……Goodbye."

Then Amanda ended the call as Jasmine Morgan and Christina Alexis came forward.

"Hey, Amanda," Jasmine said.

"Hello, girls," Amanda said. "What's up?"

"Big night tonight, isn't it?" Christina said. "The WWE Draft where it all begins again."

"Oh, yeah, "I'm feeling a little nervous thought. I would hate to be drafted and leave Cryme Tyme behind, but I gotta wait until Wednesday."

"Well, I'm kind of hoping I get to drafted to ECW so I can be with Evan," Jasmine said,. "That would be so much fun."

"And leave me behind?" Christina said. "I thought you was my best friend."

"I am your best friend; Smackdown and ECW have a taping on the same night, so I'm not leaving you completely. You'll still have Destiny to hang out with on Smackdown."

"Yeah."

Then the girls see the Miz walking by and Jasmine decided to tease him after she, the Angels, and Evan Bourne saw an episode of the Dirt Sheet where once again the Miz and John Morrison were making fun of Evan only to be confronted by his father who revealed what Maria told Jasmine before: Evan's father was indeed dancing with the Miz's mother and she was grinding on him and John Morrison saw the whole thing as well as the Miz was humiliated and embarrassed.

"Hey, watch this," Jasmine said. "Hey, Miz, did your mother like the way she was grinding on my boyfriend's father?"

"Shut up, Jasmine!" the Miz said as he continued to walk away.

"Geez, he's sensitive."

Then RAW was on and Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him. Rochelle was wearing a red backless off-the-shoulder mini dress, black boot and her hair curled. Dave did his thing with the pyro with Rochelle kneeling in front of him and the two walked down the ramp and got into the ring and Dave got on the turnbuckles flexing his muscles as Rochelle applauded for him. Dave got back down and asked for a microphone and as the crowd cheered, he said,

"I can't even tell you how good it feels to be back,. Let me tell you, I miss you guys way more than you miss me. It took me almost four months to get back into this ring and the one thing that drove him was retribution for this."

Then the video screen aired a clip of Randy Orton attacking Dave with the vicious punt kick to the side of the head.

"I replayed that in my head everyday for the last month over and over and over and over and over again," Dave said. "It's all I can think about and the worst part was waiting. Just sitting around, just waiting, counting the days, counting the hours, counting the minutes, counting the seconds, waiting to get my hands on Randy Orton. I'm tired of waiting, I'm back! No more waiting, so Orton, stop being a little punk, get out here, and face me like a man! And if you don't, I will tear apart every inch of this arena to find you!" After a pause……. "Fine, have it your way."

Then as Dave and Rochelle were about to leave the ring, Shane McMahon's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He did his infamous Shane-O-Shuffle and walked down the ramp and got in the ring

"First off, welcome back," Shane said, "but I need you not remind you is that with malicious intent Randy Orton tried to separate my head from my shoulders just like he did you; but he also did it to my father and the physicality that he did to my sister is so reprehensible, I do not have the words to describe what I wanna do to Randy Orton. So if anybody's getting retribution tonight, Dave, it's me."

As Dave and Shane started to argue, Triple H's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring.

"Shane, you got to understand something here," Triple H said, "the reason for all of this, all of this stuff with Orton, everything that's gone down with your dad, with you, it's all because of me. Randy Orton is trying to get to me, it's all of my fault. Randy Orton is trying to get to this. And here's the thing, Dave, with all due respect to you and everything Orton has done to you and put you through, Randy Orton tried to take out my wife, he has tried to take out the mother of my kids, while I watched. This is all because of me, I started it and I'm damn well gonna finish it. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you, Randy Orton is mine."

As Dave, Shane, and Triple H started to argue and Rochelle tried to settle it…….

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" Vickie Guerrero said as Chavo wheeled her from the curtain, "Excuse me, excuse me! The only person who will determine if and when anyone will face Orton, is me, the General Manager of RAW. Now the three of you will have your chance at revenge against Orton when you team up against Legacy in a six-man tag team championship match at Backlash. Excuse me! Now may I remind you that if you're going to be overzealous in that match, just like you are tonight, you could possibly be counted out or disqualified which means Randy Orton could be the new WWE Champion. Now if the three of you want a piece of Orton before Backlash, I have an opportunity, but it's just for one of them. Now Randy Orton is here tonight, but I have given him a well-deserved night off. So tonight, we will have a 3-on-2 handicap match, the three of you will team up against Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. If Team Legacy wins, no one will face Randy Orton, but if your team wins, the one who scores the winning pinfall, will earn a one-on-one match next week against Orton. Gentlemen, thank you for your time and good luck."

"Hold on, just a second," Rochelle said, "I know what you're trying to do and I'm not stupid."

"You know what, Rochelle?" Vickie said. "You're not the General Manager anymore and I don't need to listen to you."

"And I'm tired of listening to your mouth, so you do need to listen to me and if you interrupt me again, I will come down there and tear your ass apart. Got nothing else to say? I didn't think so. Now the reason you're doing all of this is because Triple H exposed you with those nude photos back in January, but that's only the beginning, isn't it? You want to hurt Triple H, don't you? Well, guess what? If he does lose the WWE Championship to Randy Orton by disqualification, I promise you this, I will make your life a living hell forever."

Then everyone in the ring looked at each other but Rochelle was fumed with anger knowing that this was all Vickie Guerrero's doing to get back at Triple H.

Later, John and Nicole talking to someone when Jack Swagger came forward.

"The champ is here," Jack said. "Tonight, Jack Swagger will show the entire world why I'm the future of the company and after I beat you and win two draft picks for my brand, WWE's gonna have a new poster boy and his name is the two-time, two-time All-American American Jack Swagger, ECW Champion."

"Yes, you are," John said. "I don't think we've met. John Cena, my wife, my former boss, three-time Women's Champion, two-time Playboy Cover girl Nicole Mitchell, and you are……."

"Jack Swagger."

"Jack Swagger, the All-American.

"American."

"Yeah, I know, you're an All-American."

"American."

"Bro, don't sweat me, I know this country too. Statue of Liberty, the Fourth of July, America, wow."

"Listen, I'm the All-American American."

"Wait, you actually call yourself the All-American American?"

"Yeah."

"That's ridiculous, you know how stupid that sounds? That's like me running out there going 'The Champ is here.…..here," or "You can't see me.……me.' Bro, you ever just stop and thought about it? I'll tell you what? It's the draft, tonight, it's the chance for new beginnings, fresh starts. Tonight, maybe you should think about going with just the All-American.' Or if you really need something at the end, this one pretty good, 'the All-American Jackass."

"Listen, Cena! I came here……"

"Hey, don't care why you came here. I've seen you, you're good. But you're a punk kid with a couple of wins under his belt who likes to run his mouth. Welcome to Monday Night RAW; tonight, you gets a lesson in respect.…..respect."

Then John walked away as Nicole started cracking up and she walked away as well.

Then it was time for the six-Diva tag team match for a draft pick for either RAW or Smackdown.

Michelle and Maryse were arguing as Natalya tried to break it up and Melina, Mickie, and Kelly jumped them and a brawl ensued before Mickie and Michelle got into the ring and Mickie charged at Michelle but Michelle took Mickie down and was punching away at her and Mickie fought back with forearms until Michelle got a knee to the midsection. Then Michelle landed a European uppercut and clubbed her in the back of the head and Michelle whipped Mickie to the ropes and Mickie slid under Michelle's legs and got a snap mare and bounced off the ropes to land a dropkick for a two count. Then Michelle shoved Mickie to the corner and charged into a back elbow and Mickie got a head scissors takedown and Mickie climbed the top turnbuckle and doved on Michelle as she caught Mickie in the chest with a boot for the win.

Michelle was talking trash and shoved Mickie as Maryse and Natalya got into the ring and the referee raised their arms in the air and Kelly & Melina got into the ring and checked on Mickie. Then the video screen showed the Random WWE Superstar Generator 2009 for Smackdown's next draft pick and it revealed to be……Amanda.

Amanda's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain. Amanda was wearing a red tube top with a cut-out at the bust. Amanda raised her Women's Title belt in the air and Michelle stared at Amanda as she was talking trash. Amanda smiled as she pointed at her belt and at Michelle as RAW went to a commercial break.

Then it was time for the match between John and Jack Swagger for two draft picks for either RAW or ECW.

John's entrance theme played and then John's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Nicole following him. Nicole was wearing a red and gold abstract print tie neck tank top with a cut-out at the bust, black pants, and her hair in a ponytail. The two walked down the ramp and got into the ring and John was pumping up the crowd and took off his HLR Academy baseball cap and threw it to the crowd. Then Jack Swagger's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and walked down the ramp showing off before he got into the ring. Then he got on the turnbuckle and raised his ECW Championship Title belt in the air and got back down as John took off his dogtags and gave them to Nicole and Nicole left the ring as John took off his HLR Academy t-shirt and threw it to the crowd and the referee called for the bell.

John and Jack locked up and Jack grabbed John's leg and took him down and John took a breather before he and Jack locked up again and Jack went behind John and took him down with a suplex and applied a front facelock and the two rolled around in the ring and Jack let go as he showed off and John landed a right hand and bounced off the ropes to land a shoulder tackle.

Jack rolled out of the ring and John followed as he stalked Jack and landed a clothesline and John threw Jack back in the ring and covered for a two count and whipped Jack to the ropes and Jack kicked John in the face and bounced off the ropes to a hard clothesline for a two count. Then Jack got John in the corner and landed a right hand and hit his head on the turnbuckle before he whipped John in the corner hard and as John got up, he landed a clothesline for another two count.

Then Jack got John in the corner and drove his knee onto his face and John fought back with right hands and whipped Jack to the corner and went to splash Jack but Jack moved and then applied a full nelson and John struggled to break free from the hold and broke it with a back elbow and John bounced off the ropes and landed two shoulder tackles and a side slam and John did his "You can't see me" and bounced off the ropes to land the Five Knuckle Shuffle.

John went for the Attitude Adjuster but Jack blocked it holding onto the top rope and surprised John with a boot to the face for a near fall and then he threw John into the ringpost and John rolled onto the ring apron and Jack bounced off the ropes and knocked John into an announce table. Then Jack got out of the ring and threw John back in the ring and landed a couple of right hands and John fought back with right hands of his own and then he bounced off the ropes and the two collided with each other with a clothesline and Jack went for a right hand and John blocked it landing one on his own and John kept hitting rights and lefts until Jack ducked and Jack caught John with a DDT out of nowhere for a two count.

Then Nicole got into the ring and helped John up as the referee raised his arm in the air and as the video screen showed the Random WWE Superstar Generator 2009 for RAW's next draft pick and it revealed to be……Matt Hardy.

Matt's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain as he was mocking John by waving his hand in front of his face and Nicole shook her head knowing about the pain he caused to both Jeff and Brittany. And the video screen again showed the Random WWE Superstar Generator 2008 for RAW's next draft pick and it revealed to be…… Triple H.

Triple H's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain as John and Nicole smiled and shrugged. Nicole knew that this was a good opportunity to help Triple H with his situation against Randy Orton and to get back at Vickie Guerrero.

Edge then jumped John from behind in the ring and was stomping on him and landed a right hand and whipped John to the corner and missed a splash. Then when John went for the Attitude Adjuster, Edge escaped and bailed out of the ring and ran up the ramp and stared John down as Nicole got back in the ring and made fun of Edge as John raised his World Heavyweight Championship Title belt in the air.

Later, Triple H was in the locker room getting ready when Shane McMahon walked in.

"Hey," Shane said.

"Hey," Triple H said.

"So we're good? Alright, great. Orton's mine."

Then Triple H stopped Shane and said,

"We talked about this earlier, Shane, I'm not kidding. Orton's mine; stay out of my way. If Dave we're here, I'd tell him the exact same thing."

Then Dave and Rochelle walked up to Triple H and Dave said,

"Well, then, why don't you?"

Triple H turned around and said,

"If you already heard it, you don't need me to say it again."

"Yeah, every man for himself," Dave said. "I'm cool with that."

Then as Dave walked out of the locker room, Rochelle said.

"You guys need to get along and co-exist. I'm telling you, Triple H, this is Vickie Guerrero's idea to hurt you and if either of you screw this up, you're giving her a fair advantage. I'm not kidding."

Then Rochelle walked out of the ring

"See you out there," Shane said as he walked out of the locker room.

Then it was time for the match between C.M. Punk and Matt Hardy draft picks for either RAW or Smackdown.

Punk and Matt locked up and Punk rolled up Matt for a two count and Matt took down Punk and covered for a two count and the two locked up and Punk got Matt in the corner before a break and Matt went for a right hand but Punk blocked it landing one of his own and got a couple of kicks to the legs and went to whip Matt but Matt reversed twisting Punk's arm and kicked Punk in the midsection and went for the Twist of Fate but Punk escaped and went for the GTS but Matt escaped and Punk kicked Matt in the midsection and got a knee and landed a suplex for a two count.

Then Matt stumble to the corner as Punk got another knee to the midsection three times before a break and went to whip Matt to the corner but Matt reversed and Punk floated onto Matt's shoulders and Hardy yanked Punk off the ropes and reverse powerbombed him chest and face-first onto the mat for a two count. Then Matt kicked Punk in the midsection twice for a two count and got a side slam for another two count and Matt put Punk in an abdominal stretch as he clubbed Punk and Punk escaped with back elbows and landed a kick to the midsection and bounced off the ropes to land a knee to the face and a clothesline and Punk whipped Matt to the ropes and a high kick to the face for a two count.

Skye got into the ring to check on Punk and were disappointed with the disqualification as the video screen showed the Random WWE Superstar Generator 2009 for RAW's next draft pick and it revealed to be……Brittany.

Brittany's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain. Brittany was wearing a red plaid tube with an adjustable belt at the waist, black boots, and her hair straight. Brittany was not pleased knowing that Matt Hardy got drafted to RAW as well and the question was: was she going to do without Jeff around?

After that, Brittany came out from the entrance to the arena still not pleased.

"Ugh!" Brittany said. "I can't even believe this crap!"

Then Skye came out from the entrance to the arena and walked up to Brittany.

"Brittany, I am so sorry," Skye said. "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know if I can handle being on RAW if Matt's there as well. He could very well end up going after me as much as he's going after Jeff."

"Look, 'Eddie's Angels' still appear on both shows, so there's shouldn't be anything to worry about. Don't worry yourself out."

"Well, what about C.M. Punk is going to Smackdown and you're still on RAW."

"I still gotta wait until Wednesday; I still got a chance to be drafted to Smackdown as well. Brit, don't let Matt Hardy get to you. You're an Angel now and Angels fight back. That's exactly what Jeff wants you to do."

"Yeah."

"Come on."

Then Skye wrapped her arm around Brittany and the two walked away.

A little later, it was time for the 3-on-2 handicap match which was Dave, Triple H, and Shane McMahon versus Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. Every man made their way to the ring as the referee called for the bell.

As Triple H and Batista discussed who would start the match, Shane charged at Cody with a clothesline and knocked Ted off the ring apron and attacked Cody with a barrage of punches and kicks and he whipped Cody to the ropes and landed a flying elbow for a two count and then he danced around him as he was hitting lefts and Dave tagged himself in from behind displeasing Shane who shot him a look. Rochelle didn't like it as well as Cody made the tag to Ted and Ted charged into the ring as Dave landed a clothesline and whipped Ted to the corner and splashed him before landing some shoulder blocks and landed a snap mare before he bounced off the ropes and kicked Ted in the head.

As Dave got Ted on his shoulder for a power slam, Triple H pulled Ted onto the apron and landed a right hand as Triple H tagged himself and Rochelle crossed her arms not liking what she was seeing as Triple H attacked Ted in the corner with punches and kicks before the referee pulled him back and Triple H whipped Ted to the ropes and landed a face buster and bounced off the ropes and Triple H clotheslined DiBiase for a two count and Ted stumbled to the corner as Triple H charged into a boot and Ted charged into a spine buster and went for the cover but Dave yanked Triple H off of Ted.

As Triple H and Dave argued with Rochelle telling them to cut it out, Ted clipped Triple H from behind, then made the tag to Cody and Cody was hitting some right hands and kicks and dragged Triple H down as he made the tag to Ted and they stretched Triple H's legs and Ted landed four elbow drops on the leg and Triple H applied a body scissors as he landed a couple of right hands and Ted landed some right hands of his own as he whipped Triple H to the ropes and Triple H kicked Ted in the face and he bounced off the ropes and Ted landed a dropkick for a two count.

Then Ted made a tag to Cody and Ted dragged Triple H and Cody stomped on Triple H and got a knee on the leg and kicked it before applying a leglock and Triple H kicked Cody in the face with his other leg and Cody covered for a two count. Then Cody grabbed Triple H as Ted made a blind tag and Ted pulled Triple H onto the ring apron and hit his leg on it as Cody kicked him in the back and Ted got into the ring and Ted was punching away at Triple H and covered for a two count and Ted went for a leglock but Triple H kicked him off and Ted's head bounced off the middle turnbuckle.

Then Triple H when he reached for a tag, Ted yanked him back to his corner and made the tag to Cody and Ted held on his leg as Cody was stomping on him and covered him for a two count and Cody was stomping on him and covered for a two count and Cody grabbed his leg and kicked it and Cody went for a DDT and Triple H countered into a back body drop and the two men were down and Triple H finally made the tag to Dave.

Dave landed a clothesline and a couple of right hands before he whipped Ted to the ropes and landed a back body drop and Dave landed another clothesline and knocked Cody off the ring apron and powerslammed Ted for the cover and Cody broke the count and Shane dove at Cody and clotheslined him over the top rope and both tumbled to the floor. Ted stumbled to the corner and charged into Dave landing a spinebuster and landed a Batista Bomb for the cover but Shane broke it up with a forearm to the back of his head. Rochelle got on the ring apron and was pissed off at Shane as Dave got to his feet and shoved Shane hard into the corner. Rochelle shouted at Dave as Triple H tagged himself in and Dave stared him down as Shane tackled Batista and they rolled to the mat as Rochelle tried to break it up and Triple H then kicked Ted in the midsection and landed the Pedigree for the win.

Shane almost broke the count and the referee raised Triple H's arm in the air as Rochelle got in the ring really mad at all three. Rochelle had some words for each as Randy Orton's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and stared at Triple H and he along with Shane, Dave, and Rochelle stared at him as RAW came to a close.
