Chapter 128: Judgment Day 2009
Judgment Day was in C.M. Punk and Maria's hometown of Chicago, Illinois and Brittany was alone in the Angels' locker room looking at her wedding invitation.
It was a bright white invitation with pearl-embossed daisies on two corners and the writing was navy. It said,
We found the days were much
too short for all the dreams we
wanted to share and all the love
we wanted to give
Brittany Anne Swanson
and Jeffery Nero Hardy
request the honour of your
presence as they begin a life of
dreaming, loving and sharing
together
on Thursday, the twenty-third of July
two thousand nine
at two o'clock in the afternoon
Fearrington Village
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Brittany smiled as she thought about her and Jeff's upcoming wedding in a couple of months and was wishing for her parents to be there so her dad could give her away; but now it was in the duty of her grandfather.
Then the rest of "Eddie's Angels" came inside their locker room after showing pictures of last week of them attending the Maxim Hot 100 Red Carpet and celebrating Amanda and Nicole's birthdays in Bloomington.
"Everybody is so envy of us," Nicole said.
"They couldn't possibly believe all six of us were voted number one on Maxim Hot 100," Amanda said.
"Yeah," Brittany said.
"Hey, you know what?" Rochelle said as she sat next to Brittany. "We should start planning a bachelorette party in New York in the next several weeks."
"You mean, bridal shower because I'm not going to have strippers there."
"Brittany, you need to start having some spice in your life," Delancey said. "You've been down in the dumps for too long; let yourself loose."
"Yeah, you need to get off that depression state," Buffy said. "You're engaged, you're the Divas' Champion, you got a wedding in a couple of months. Come on, Brit, what do you say?"
Then the Angels gave their puppy dog looks as Brittany thought about it and she said,
"Okay, okay; but let's not get too wild, okay?"
"I promise," Nicole said. "We'll be on our best behavior."
"I would hope so."
Later, Judgment Day was on and it was time for the World Heavyweight Championship match which was Dave versus Randy Orton.
Randy Orton's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and he walked down the ramp and got into the ring and Randy got on the turnbuckle and stared at the crowd as he raised the WWE Title belt in the air and got back down.

"This match is set for one fall and it is for the WWE Championship," Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first the challenger from Washington, D.C. weighing in at 290 pounds, Batista. And from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the WWE Champion, Randy Orton."

"John, I am so proud of you," Nicole said. "I always knew the Big Show couldn't keep you down, especially through a 7000-watt spotlight. In fact, nothing can keep you down because you're my Superman."
"And you're my Superwoman," John said as he kissed Nicole.
"How about a nice, warm shower and a massage to calm you down?"
"That's a good idea."
"Yeah."
