In the backstage area shortly after the January 13, 2006 edition of Friday Night Smackdown on the night where Randy Orton, the substitute for the injured Booker T, defeated Chris Benoit in the Best of Seven Series match making Booker T once again the WWE United States Champion, the former Miss Black America Sharmell is along side her husband and the new WWE United States Champion, Booker T. Sharmell opens a bottle of champagne and the champagne fizzes out of the top of the bottle. Booker grabs to glasses.
Sharmell nods her head and smiles "Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' bout! My baby, the Undisputed United States Champion!" Sharmell says before she kisses Booker on the lips and then hugs him, while he supports himself up with the use of the crutches. Sharmell pours herself a glass and a glass for her husband. Sharmell is dressed in a red beauty pageant-like gown, long black gloves and silver tiara on top of her head.
Booker smiles as he shrugs the US Championship belt off of his shoulder to look at it, "That's right baby, We're back on top, and there's nothing Benoit or Teddy Long can do about it." Booker moves to pour himself a glass of champagne when Randy Orton, the man who pinned Benoit so Booker T could reclaim the US championship, comes walking towards them.
Randy pats Booker on the back and smirks, "Man that gold looks good on you..."
"Thank man, you know, I've felt naked with it," Booker replies with a wide grin on his face. "And we got you to thank for it," Booker adds as he puts an arm around Sharmell while balancing all of his weight on one of the crutches.
Sharmell places her left on hand on her hip and nods "That's right baby..." Sharmell says as she pats her hands against the United States belt "And Chris Benoit, he ain't got nothin' on you baby!" Sharmell says with a laugh toward Booker.
"That's all well and good... but it's now time for that little thing you owe me..." Randy says with a cocky smirk.
Booker looks at him with a concerned look, "Hey man, I know you were substituting for me... but I'm injured... I can't give you a title shot."
Sharmell nods "That's right...that's right..." Sharmell then puts her finger up in the air "And even if you did challenge my man, Booker T...he would still whoop your ass!" Sharmell says placing both hands on her hips as she looks at Randy Orton.
"Whoa... whoa... whoa..." Randy holds up his hands and laughs a little, "I don't want a title shot... I want something else..."
"What's that dawg?" Booker asks with a confused look on his face. Randy smirks a bit, followed by licking his lips as he starts glancing Sharmell.
"I want... her..." Randy replies, as he doesn't hide the fact that he's checking the ebony beauty out.
Booker gets up set and throws down one crutch, "Say what?!" He hops a bit and gets in Randy's face, "That's my wife!"
Randy smirks again, "I know.... and you owe me."
Sharmell puts both of her hands up "Oh no you didn't!" Sharmell yells "Oh hell no! Hell...no!" Sharmell shakes her head "Just who the hell do ya think you are!?"
Randy smirks, "I think I'm the man who got the US Title for Booker... and the one who told Booker he would owe me for doing that favor for him..."
Booker shakes his head, "Hell no Randy, Ain't no way that's going down..."
Randy chuckles, "It's either that... or I demand a title shot... and take that US title from you and kill off a WCW Legend..."
Sharmell opens her mouth in shock and then looks back at Booker T "Oh! Just who does he thinks he's talkin' to?"
I don't think he knows baby," Booker says as he glares at Randy who is licking his lips as he tilts his head to look at Sharmell's backside. Booker shoves Randy with one arm to get his attention, "Hey! Keep your eyes off my wife, I don't know what you got going on in your head, but there ain't no way you're going to get anything like that from me, sucka!"
Randy smirks, "The clock is ticking Book, I could just go to Teddy Long and get my title shot next week, and with you being on crutches, hitting you with the RKO will be easy, and besides you... both owe me." Randy then locks his eyes with Sharmell, "I could've backed out after she hit me with the crutch a few weeks ago, but I stayed around, and I need something for all the trouble I've been through for you two."
Sharmell leans forward and pokes Randy in the chest with her finger "Now you listen here..." Sharmell begins to rant.
Booker raises his hands, "Whoa baby... he's right... we owe him... big time..." Randy smirks as he sees the expression on Sharmell's face after she hears what Booker just said.
