Chapter 129: The 'Naitch Strikes Again
RAW was in Louisville, Kentucky and there was a Divas' Battle Royal to determine the number one contender for Brittany's Divas' Championship.
Brittany was in "Eddie's Angels'" locker room meeting her and Jeff's lawyer, Irene to discuss Matt Hardy's latest actions.
"Are you sure you want to go through this?" Irene asked.
"Yes," Brittany said. "I'm telling you, you don't know what he's capable of and he pulls two more stunts last night and today. I think these need to be used against him in court, I don't care how serious the charges may be. He has gone too far this time."
"Okay, but I have to honest with you, this may not help but I will stick by this as hard as I can."
"Okay."
Then Brittany walked Irene of the Angels' locker room as Shayna Brooke of the Angelic Coalition walked towards her.
"What's going on?" Shayna said.
"Come here," Brittany said.
Then Shayna got inside the Angels' locker room as Brittany closed the door.
"You are not gonna like what I'm about to say," Brittany said.
"What?" Shayna said.
"I heard that Vickie Guerrero erased Matt Hardy's loss to your boyfriend off the record books last week forever."
"What?! Is she nuts?"
"Oh, yeah, but you know what? What she just did gave me a good idea of what me and the Angels are gonna do to three more of her 'co-horts.'"
"What are you gonna do?"
"We are gonna perpetrate a great big triple-whammy."
A little later, RAW was on and John & Nicole were walking backstage after a heated confrontation that took place earlier.
When RAW started, Randy Orton castigated Ric Flair for his involvement following the WWE Championship match at Judgment Day and Ric Flair himself emerged and reminded Randy that he didn't actually beat Dave, and in fact, lost by disqualification, and thus managed to hold onto the WWE Title. Then Ric revealed that he had just spoken to Vickie Guerrero and that she had decreed that he would be defending his title against Dave once again at Extreme Rules but in a Steel Cage Match.
In his mind, not only did "Eddie's Angels" once again get to Vickie, but Ric Flair had the upper hand and Randy attacked him and called down Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase to assist in the assault. But before the rest of Legacy could make it to the ring, they were intercepted by Dave and Legacy began to get the upper hand on Ric and Dave, John emerged and helped clear the ring of Legacy.
"Excuse me, John," Josh Matthews said as he came forward.
"Yeah," John said.
"We just saw you intervened in the situation between Legacy, Batista and Ric Flair and the one question I have is why?"
"You know, for what seems like forever is I've been beat up, broken down and wore out. I've heard critics talk and they say that maybe I lost a step and Josh, even those who believe begin to question my resolve. And with my back against the wall at Judgment Day, I overcome physics and gravity by defeating the Big Show. Critics were silenced and those who believe could once again hold on to that sense of pride knowing that I will not let them down! I don't usually go looking for trouble but I'm saying this right now because it's time for it to be said. May the best man win at Extreme Rules, but I don't care if it's Batista or Randy Orton, they need to realize that it's only a matter of time before the Champ is Here!"
Then John and Nicole walked away as Vickie Guerrero walked up to them and said,
"Hello, John. You're talking as if you're ready to move on. I will address that later; but for right now based on what I just saw, tonight's main event will be Randy Orton and the Legacy versus Batista.
"Oh, no, you don't do that," John said sarcastically. "It's chaos, the sky will fall, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria. I'm just kidding. I love it."
Then John patted Vickie on the arm and walked away and Nicole just smiled at Vickie as she walked away as well.
Then it was time for the Divas Battle Royal to be the number one contender's match for Brittany's Divas' Championship. Brittany's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain and she was wearing a yellow plaid snap front ruffle top, denim jeans, black see-through hand warmers, and her hair curled. Brittany walked down the ramp slapping the hands of the fans and went around the ring waving at them as she sat down at the announcers' table.
"Well, Brittany," Michael Cole said, "we want to welcome you and we're wondering what are your thoughts from last night when Matt Hardy cost Jeff Hardy the World Heavyweight Championship at Judgment Day?"
"The only thing I'm gonna say is this," Brittany said. "Matt Hardy is gonna be really sorry because earlier today, he met with mine and Jeff's lawyer and let's just say, he crossed the line. He'll explain everything later."
The participants of the Divas Battle Royal were Buffy, Shayna Brooke, Madison Spears, the Bella Twins, Mickie James, Maryse, Beth Phoenix, Jillian Hall, Kelly Kelly, and Rosa Mendes.
Buffy was wearing a yellow sequined bikini top, yellow pants with slits on the side, and her hair curled. Madison was wearing a blue halter bikini top with an attached belt buckle, black pants, and her hair straight. Shayna was wearing a black halter bikini top, blue marble print shorts, and her hair straight.
The match started with the Bella Twins after Jillian, Kelly and Shayna after Beth, Mickie and Madison after Rosa, and Buffy after Maryse and Beth shoved Kelly and Shayna and Beth got a scoop slam on Kelly as Shayna jumped on Beth while the Bellas attacked Jillian in the corner and Mickie was hitting forearms to Beth while Rosa jumped on her back and Buffy was landing chops to Maryse. The Bellas tried to eliminate Jillian and Mickie eliminated Rosa Mendes and Beth clotheslined Brie Bella over the top rope to eliminate her and Beth was kicking Nikki in the corner while Jillian and Mickie traded blows and Jillian was whipping Mickie to the corner and got a cartwheel splash as Nikki tried to eliminate Beth.
Then Beth kicked Nikki out of the ring and Mickie went for a head scissors takedown but Jillian tossed her over the top rope as Beth was attacking Kelly and Shayna attacked Beth from behind and Beth grabbed her by the throat and Madison went into for the save but accidentally hit Shayna. Then Beth tossed Madison out of the ring and kicked Shayna out of the ring and then Jillian went for a right hand but Mickie blocked and got a head scissors takedown sending Jillian out of the ring and it came down to Mickie, Kelly, Maryse, Buffy and Beth.
Maryse went after Buffy and Beth went for a clothesline but Mickie ducked and got a Thesz press and was punching away at Beth went for a kick but Beth ducked and Beth hung Mickie on the corner and went to eliminate her but Kelly grabbed her hair and got a forearm twice and Beth kicked her in the midsection and got her on her shoulder and went to eliminate her but Kelly dropkicked Beth out of the ring.
Maryse tossed Buffy over the top rope but didn't eliminate her and then Maryse sprayed Mickie in the eyes with something as the referee was occupied and then Buffy skinned the cat as she tossed Maryse out of the ring and then kicked Mickie to the floor and Kelly dropkicked Buffy out of the ring and got the win.
Then the referee got in the ring and raised Kelly Kelly's arm in the air as Brittany shrugged her shoulders and Kelly pointed at Brittany as Brittany waved at her and RAW went to a commercial break.
A little later, Matt Hardy was going to be in an interview with Josh Matthews.
"Please welcome my guest at this time, Matt Hardy," Josh said as Matt came forward. "Matt, last night at Judgment Day, you cost your brother Jeff an opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship against Edge and now conveniently tonight, you have a United States Championship match against MVP."
"What's your point, Josh?"
"Well, saying it's how Edge is married to Vickie Guerrero, perhaps Vickie is rewarding you……
"No, no, three weeks ago Jeff broke my hand; he tried to take away my livelihood, how I make a living, you understand that? Everytime the pain pulses through my second metacarpal which is broken in three places, it reminds him of all the horrific things Jeff has done to me. So there was no way I was going to sit back and let Jeff become World Champion and receive all the attention that I so richly deserve. As far as Vickie Guerrero's concerned, she's a fair General Manager, she erased his loss to Kofi Kingston off the record books last week forever, and the only reason Vickie is granting me a United States Championship match is because I earned it."
Then Brittany walked towards Matt.
"Really?" Brittany said. "You know what? I don't think you're gonna stop until you destroy Jeff, your own brother, but you know what? What you did last night and what Vickie Guerrero has done for you, it will blow up all in your face when this goes to court because my side of the story will be so much better than yours."
Then Brittany walked away as Matt stared at her.
A little later, the Miz was walking backstage when after once again, masquerading as John, the Miz addressed the WWE Universe to mock and once again call out John Cena. After John Heavyweight failed to come out following the Miz's rap belittling him, the Miz claimed another spurious victory over John. His claims didn't go unchallenged, however, as he was joined in the ring by Jerry "The King" Lawler and pointed out the ridiculousness of Miz's claim to have a 5-0 record against John when the two have never fought a match to completion.
The two were then interrupted by the Big Show, who had his own bone to pick with John, revealed that the two would be colliding once again at Extreme Rules, in a match that would appear to give the him a distinct advantage: a Submission Match. When the Miz responded that John would simply beat Big Show again, the Big Show lunged for him but the Miz was too quick shoving Jerry into the Big Show and escaping up the ramp. Furious, then Big Show latched his punishing submission maneuver on Jerry before leaving the ring.
Then the Boyz in Motion jumped the Miz from behind and were beating him up as they took off the HLR Academy t-shirt and ran him into the wall. Then the boys continued to beat up the Miz and they tossed over the crate and were hitting him in the back with steel pipes.
Then Nicole walked towards an unconscious Miz and said,
"How's that for 5-0?"
Then Nicole and the Boyz in Motion walked away.
Later in the locker room, Ric Flair was pumping himself as Dave walked inside and Ric smiled.
"What did you do?" Dave said. "What are you so happy about?"
"It's not what I did," Ric said, "it's what I'm gonna do. Dave, I'm coming back to RAW next week, I'm gonna walk out to the ring, and I'm gonna call Orton out, man. I'm gonna call Orton out and I'm gonna kick his butt. You know, just because I'm retired doesn't mean I can't fight."
"Really? You're retired, you're the greatest of all time. You don't have anything to prove."
"Dave, the guy punched me out tonight. What do you mean I don't have anything to prove?"
"He's a punk, man……."
"You're not giving me that look that everybody else gives me. You're not giving me that the 'Ric Flair, you're 60.…..' look. You're not giving me that look that everybody else gives me."
"You're retired……."
"I don't want to be retired. I didn't decide to retire. They retired me. You're my brother, man. I know what's going on, you don't think I can do it, do you?"
"No, it's not that, it's……"
"That's what you're thinking, I know what you're saying, you don't think I can do it, do you? Well, you're wrong, I can still can still beat up 90 percent of the guys on the show if I have to. And next week, I'm gonna beat up Orton. If you lost confidence in me, you go out there by yourself, but I'm not going to be by your side."
Then Ric walked away as Dave shook his head.
A little later, it was time for the 3-on-2 handicap match which John and Dave versus Legacy.

The three walked down the ramp and Legacy got in the ring as Ted and Cody got on the top turnbuckles and Randy raised his WWE Title belt in the air and Dave's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Rochelle following him.

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 apron and Dave got on the turnbuckles flexing his muscles as Rochelle stared at Legacy. Dave got back down and John's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Nicole following him.
Nicole was wearing a yellow plaid tube top, denim jeans, and her hair in a ponytail. John and Nicole walked down the ramp and got into the ring along with Dave and Rochelle as Legacy bailed out of the ring and John was pumping himself up and he took off his HLR Academy baseball cap and threw it to the crowd.
