Chapter 119: Heaven and Hell in England
RAW was in London, England and on that night, Dave was facing Chavo Guerrero and Amanda was defending the Women's Championship against Beth Phoenix.
It's been a week after the draft and Nicole was on her own now that Tina and Kimberly were drafted to ECW and asked Kayla to keep an eye on Brittany in case Matt tries to make his next move against her. Also, with Amanda now part of the Smackdown roster, Cryme Tyme was joining her along with Skye who got drafted to Smackdown and Buffy & Ulysses were drafted to RAW as well.
Nicole was going through the rack to look for something to wear for RAW when Nicole heard her cell phone ring and she went over to her purse and took out her cell phone to see that Evan Bourne was calling and Nicole answered the call.
"Hello?" Nicole said.
"Hey, Nicole," Evan said.
"Hi, Evan, how are you?"
"I'm doing great and you?"
"Oh, just fine and I know you're doing great now that your girlfriend is on ECW."
"Oh, yeah, definitely. Hey, I was wondering maybe when we return to the states and after Backlash, maybe you, me, John, and Jasmine could go on another double date?"
"Yeah, that'll be great. I mean, last month, we had an awesome time, I'll never forget it."
"Yeah, it was awesome."
"Hey, where's Jasmine? I need to ask her something."
"Okay, hold on."
"Hello?" Jasmine said.
"Hey, Jasmine, it's Nicole," Nicole said. "I need to ask you something."
"Okay."
"I know you're into science and all, but do you know how to make a stink bomb?"
"Nicole, you got to be kidding."
"Look, I've had it with Vickie Guerrero, she's pissing Rochelle off, I have to take a step further. Come on, Jasmine, just do this one thing for me."
"Okay, how soon do you need it?"
"The day after Backlash so I can plant in her office so she won't have a place to hide if things go wrong at Backlash."
"Okay, you got it."
"Thank you, I'll talk to you later."
"Bye."
Then Nicole ended the call.
Then RAW was on and Chris Jericho's entrance theme played as pyro was setting off all over the stage and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring and stared down the fans as he asked for the microphone.
"For the past year, I've felt like a castaway," Chris said, "like an honest man on an island by a sea of liars, cheaters, sycophants, and parasites just like each and every one of you here this evening. But I don't feel that anymore because last week I was drafted to Smackdown and tonight is my last and final appearance on RAW forever. I figured you have that reaction; you've never appreciated my brilliance, you never understood why I am the Superstar of the Year. You never valued me as an honest man in a dishonest world and that's fine, I can deal with that. So while all of you wallow in your deceitfulness, I'm going to move on to bigger and better things. But mark my words, without Chris Jericho on RAW, things will change on this show and they will not change for the better and within six months, you will be begging me and pleading me, 'Please, Chris Jericho, come back to RAW, please come back to RAW.' But you know what? I'm not gonna do it because I'm done with RAW."
Then Ricky Steamboat's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain. He walked down the ramp and got into the ring and stared at Chris with a microphone in his hand.
"Chris Jericho, you are wrong," Ricky said. "This audience, the WWE Universe in that matter isn't unappreciative. Wrestlemania week, they showed me more love and appreciation than I could ever dream of, probably of the greatest moment in my wrestling career. But if it's appreciation you're asking for and they won't give it, I will. Thank you."
"What are you talking about?" Chris said. "Thank you? What are you talking about?"
"I wanna thank you for bringing back a moment and a feeling that I thought I'd never reach again and that is the passion to perform one last time; to take a page in history and turn it back to feel proud of what you have accomplished. Never again I thought I would be at a Wrestlemania or two weeks ago on RAW, but you know something? If it wasn't for you, it would have never happened. So that's why I'm out here; I'm out here, Chris Jericho, to thank you. Thanks."
Then Ricky went to leave the ring but………
"No, no, no, no, no, stay right here, Steamboat," Chris said, "because I know why you came out here; you didn't come out here to thank me. You came out here to bask in the glow of the spotlight one more time. You came out to hear the cheers of your fans one more time. Let me remind you of something, Steamboat, you are finished; nobody cares about you anymore. And all your friends from Flair, to Piper, to Snuka, even Mickey Rourke, they haven't been seen or heard from since I destroyed them at Wrestlemania and I will do the exact same thing to you. Why? Because you think you got a great response from the fans in a 10-man tag team match on RAW when you were in the ring for about 27 seconds just because everybody was chanting "You still got it!" You think that you still do? Here's a newsflash, Steamboat, you don't have it anymore, they're delusional and you're delusional. The time has come to put you out of your misery the same way I put your friends, your lecturous, parasite friends out of their misery and that's why I want a one-on-one match against you. I want Chris Jericho versus Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat at Backlash. I'm gonna finish you off, Steamboat, if you accept the challenge. So do you accept, huh?"
Then John's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Nicole following him. Nicole was wearing an orange pleather foil accented animal print tube top with a v-buckle above the bust, black leather shorts, black boots, and her hair straight. The two walked down the ramp and got into the ring and John raised his arms in the air.
"You stop right now," Chris said, "you stop right now. I know why you came out here, Cena, I know your schtick, You're gonna talk about how great of a person Ricky Steamboat is, how big of a fan you are, you're gonna pander to all of your fans, well, you know what? This is my last appearance on RAW, Cena, so I don't have to listen to you anymore; I don't have to hear what you say and I don't care what you say because I'm finished with John Cena, I'm with finished with Nicole Mitchell, I'm finished with Ricky Steamboat, I'm finished with all of these parasites, and most importantly, I am finished on RAW; so my last act on RAW is going to be to walk out on you."
Then Chris left the ring as the fans sang good bye to him but then……
"Chris Jericho," Ricky said, "on your challenge, I accept."
Then Chris smiled but didn't turn around and he kept walking up the ramp until……
"And Chris," Nicole said, "you just said that you destroyed Mickey Rourke at Wrestlemania? Let me remind you that Mickey Rourke gave you a right hook in the middle of the ring and everybody saw that, didn't they?
"Oh, yeah, and Chris," John said, "you interrupted me because you thought I was gonna stand up for Ricky Steamboat. I saw him wrestle with you, he can do just fine on his own. I have a message for you. You see, Vickie Guerrero is not gonna be here tonight and trust me, I'm very happy, too. She sent a message that Edge will not compete tonight. She also sent word that I have to compete tonight. Chris Jericho, you walking out on me just now is not your last act on RAW, your last act on RAW is a match with me here tonight!"
Chris didn't smile at that as John and Nicole raised Ricky's arms in the air and Chris walked away as John shook hands with Ricky and Nicole hugged Ricky as RAW went to a commercial break.
Then Chavo Guerrero was standing in the middle of the ring.
"The Mexican Warrior, Chavo Guerrero has officially been drafted to RAW," Chavo said. "I want to take the time to thank my Aunt Vickie, your new general manager of RAW. I'm gonna prove to you, Vickie, that not only I can push her wheelchair around, but I can push around anybody on the RAW roster. So bring it on."
Then Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him. Rochelle was wearing an orange tube dress with a lacy shoulder overlay 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 Rochelle smiled at Chavo as he was looking disappointed and Rochelle left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Dave didn't move from his standing position with hands on hips and Chavo charged at him and Dave kicked him in the midsection and landed the Batista Bomb immediately for the win.
Then Rochelle laughed as Dave had his arm raised by the referee and he left the ring as Rochelle joined him as the two walked up the ramp.
"Vickie," Chavo said onto the microphone, "Vickie, I'm sorry, Aunt Vickie, this will never happen again. I wasn't ready; I wasn't ready, Vickie. I promise you, Vickie never again."
Then Dave and Rochelle walked back down the ramp and got into the ring as Chavo got to his feet then panicked as Dave and Rochelle waved at him.
"No, no, I was ready!" Chavo said. "I was……"
Then Dave again kicked Chavo in the midsection and landed another Batista Bomb.
Rochelle laughed again as she went over to Chavo and kicked him in the back and she & Dave left the ring as Dave shouted "Welcome to RAW!" and the two walked up the ramp and turned around as they applauded.
A few minutes later, Shane McMahon walking down the ramp until he bumped into Dave and Rochelle.
"Hey, Dave, what's up, man?" Shane said.
"Hey," Dave said.
"That was entertaining."
"Thanks."
"Nasty." Then Shane wiped the sweat off as he shook Dave's hand. "Thanks a lot, I appreciate it."
"Alright, you're welcome."
"Hey, listen, about last week, I wanted to talk to you."
"Hey, last week, you know, things got a little crazy, I wanted Orton, you wanted Orton, Triple H wanted Orton, we all still do."
"Alright, just making sure we're all on the same page for this Sunday."
"Yeah, sure."
"But one thing, though, I wanted to get off my chest. Um, I really didn't appreciate you drilling me down in the corner."
"Well, since you brought it up, I really didn't appreciated you double legging me out of the ring."
Then the two chuckled as Rochelle cleared her throat to get their attention.
"Sorry," Shane said. "Alright, yeah, so I guess we're good then as long as once again we keep the focus and we're all on the same page for this Sunday."
"Yeah, absolutely," Dave said.
"Alright, check you later."
"Yeah."
Then Dave and Rochelle walked away.
A little later, it was time for the Women's Championship match which was Amanda and Beth Phoenix. Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendes were already in the ring and Amanda's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain.
"The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWE Women's Championship," Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first representing 'Eddie's Angels" from Cincinnati, Ohio, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Amanda."
Amanda was wearing an orange romper dress with Army emblems on it, orange arm warmers, and her hair curled. She walked down the ramp and got into the ring and Amanda posed in the middle of the ring and raised her Women's Title belt in the air. Then Rosa left the ring and the referee raised the Women's Championship Title belt in the air and called for the bell.
Amanda and Beth locked up and Beth got a knee to the midsection before she whipped Amanda to the corner and Amanda floated on Beth's shoulder and slammed her to the mat for a two count and Beth grabbed Amanda's arm and landed some back elbows and got an armlock hold as Amanda got to her feet and was hitting right hands and bounced off the ropes and went for a flying head scissors but Beth caught her and applied a torture rack type hold.

"Here is your winner and still the WWE Women's Champion, Amanda," Lillian announced.
Then Amanda went to the corner as she smiled and as the referee gave her the WWE Women's Championship Title belt and raised her arm in the air. Then Amanda left the ring and she pointed at Rosa as she raised her title belt in the air and Amanda walked up the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and blew a kiss and waved at the crowd knowing this would be her final night on RAW and going to join Cryme Tyme on Smackdown.
Then it was time for the match which was John versus Chris Jericho.
John's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Nicole following him. The two walked down the ramp and got into the ring he was pumping up the crowd and took off his new blue HLR Academy baseball cap and t-shirt and threw it to the crowd.

Edge got into the ring and looked at Nicole as he pounded away at John and Edge was pulling his hair as he waited for John to get up and then landed a spear and then looked out into the crowd. Then Edge got out of the ring and grabbed two chairs and brought into the ring and set John head on one. He took another chair and took a deep, sinister breath not noticing that Nicole was got into the ring and then Nicole landed a dropkick sending Edge out of the ring.
Then Nicole grabbed the chair from under John's head and dared Edge to come into the ring but Edge wouldn't budge and then he went around the ring and tried to get back in but Nicole stopped as she had the chair in her head. Then Edge backed away as he smiled and Nicole bent down next to John as she stared at Edge.
A few minutes later, Nicole was in the locker room with John as he came to.
"John, are you all right?" Nicole said.
"Yeah, I'm fine," John said. "My head hurts."
"Well, it looks like Edge finally found an opportunity to jump you completely since you punked him out two weeks ago. But I know you because like you said, every time Edge ran back and hit you with everything he had, he watched you get back up. Well, I saved your ass this time."
"Too bad I didn't get to see it, but thanks."
"You don't have to thank me; you would do the same for me, right?"
"Yeah."
Then Nicole leaned down and kissed John.
