Smackdown's Agonist

Talking Smack

*Imigie's POV*

I had just found out that I was going to be one of the guests for an after Smackdown Live show called Talking Smack, which I found was one heck of an amazing opportunity. If this meant talking about what had happened earlier and venting around my frustrations over the events earlier, I was all up and ready for it.

The other two guests on the show with me were Paige and Becky Lynch, who would very likely be on at the same time that I was on. I wasn't bothered at all with having them be on at the same time that I was on, even if it meant two separate feuds. All three of us being on at the same time would easily make a grand connection to the women's division on a whole. Not just the Smackdown Women's division, not just the Raw Women's division, hell, not even the NXT Women's division. It was for the entire division on a whole and I was honored to represent that and to spread my own message.

"Time to move on," Renee Young said as she turned to Daniel Bryan. "The women's division has been getting really spiced up lately since WrestleMania. First, it happened when the first ever Smackdown Women's Champion, Becky Lynch pulled the victory to become the two time Smackdown Women's Champion. What a victory for the Irish Lass Kicker! Then earlier tonight, we witnessed the debuts of two women. One woman actually returned from being out of action over a neck injury, the former NXT Women's Champion and former two time Divas Champion, the mysterious raven-haired lady, Paige. And the other debut to Smackdown Live was actually a former NXT Women's Champion, having an incredible debut by having matches against the men. That takes courage for a very young superstar to put herself through, proclaimed as the five-foot powerhouse, the Agonist of WWE, Imigie."

"Yes you are definitely right, Renee," Daniel replied as Becky, Paige, and I quietly made our way to our seats. "The competition has been brilliant. Shane and I were really discussing to be our NXT pick and Raw pick to come to Smackdown. To say the least, it wasn't easy. The women are just amazing but in the end, for our NXT pick, we chose Imigie. And for our Raw pick, we chose Paige. But regardless, the women's division has really not just created history on its own but it even did so with the men. The reason why I picked Paige for the Raw woman to come to Smackdown is because she's one of the greatest women wrestlers today. At a young age, she has the talent in the world that very few women are actually capable of keeping up with. She was a former NXT Women's Champion and a former two time Divas Champion, being the youngest superstar to hold those titles, even holding them consistently. She also brings a dark mystique to the women's division with her unique look and signature scream which easily brings a sign that the women's division is to be put on notice. She was also born into a family of wrestlers who actually taught her how to wrestle, hence her immense skill in the ring, some may argue that she's already considered a veteran in the ring. I even find her to be relentless with her signature 'This Is My House' and 'I'm not here to be a cover girl, I'm here to cover girls in the middle of that ring and win' mentality which warn the other women that she's coming.She's not a good guy or a bad guy. She simply just wants to fight and win."

Renee applauded to his words about Paige, a smile easily showing on her face. But, then again, most days, it was impossible to imagine her without smiling all the time.

"Oh, and speaking of relentless, we also saw the debut of Imigie," Daniel continued. "There is a reason why I picked Imigie to be on the Smackdown roster, coming from NXT. She has brought another type of dark presence into the women's division. She's not like any ordinary five foot woman to enter the WWE. She is the five-foot powerhouse which might bring fellow five-footer, known to be five feet of fury, Alexa Bliss some competition in the future. Imigie may be small but her strength, power, and passion are big. She uses her little motto 'I Stand and Fight' to help her get through her matches, even if it means possibly losing the matches on some occasions. She carried her message that regardless of her size, she isn't afraid to fight. She allows that message to carry her through NXT, especially when she won the NXT Women's Championship. And now, she's ready to start a fresh one by fighting in the pursuit to become the Smackdown Women's Champion. Being the one to end Asuka's undefeated streak from NXT Takeover Respect to NXT Takeover Brooklyn II. And Imigie had been in NXT for quite a long time, actually. She debuted in NXT on July 31, 2014, trying to put out her message. And it looked like she was inches closer to going on top when she joined now current Raw superstar, Janalyn which lasted for only a few weeks before Janalyn dumped Imigie. However, Imigie was able to be granted the opportunity to the NXT Women's Championship at NXT Takeover The End after winning the number one contender's match against Janalyn. Then she went to become the NXT Women's Champion after that at NXT Takeover Brooklyn II, carrying that title with passion and heart. And then she held that title all the way until NXT Takeover Orlando. And she's here simply to stand and fight."

"Yes indeed," Renee replied. "And now we welcome our guests, the Smackdown Women's Champion Becky, Paige, and Imigie!"

The camera turned to the three of us. We were already sitting down in our seats, waiting anxiously for what questions Daniel and Renee were gonna ask us.

"Oh anyway," Renee said. "You ladies have really done the deal for the division. I'll start off with Becky."

"Alright, I'm already to tell the world that there's a lot of straight fiya with this champ," Becky smiled. "You see, I got the title, and now I'm keeping it real tight from anyone who thinks they can take this from me. I've fought for far too long to try to take it back and it's all been worth it. I'm fighting to keep this title longer than the first time I had it. And there's gonna be a lot of football fire in this reign."

Daniel was about to speak but he was interrupted. It wasn't Becky that was speaking now. It was Paige.

"I knew I had to return and reclaim my house. The pain I've been through during my neck injury. The surgery, it was scary as hell but I'm back to continue my message. I came here to fight. I'm not here to be a cover girl. I'm here to cover girls in the middle of that ring and win."

Before Daniel and Renee could open their mouths to speak again, I was the one to speak this time. However, this time, I had a lot more to say.

"Everything that I've been through has lead me to where I am. It's not wrong to say that I've been through pain, I've suffered, and I've been thrown to the ground. Those scars actually mean much more to me than anyone else can decipher. I've been through hell on my journey to become the NXT Women's Champion. Now it's time for me to mark a new journey to become the Smackdown Women's Champion."

I turned to Becky who looked terrified but just couldn't hold it in seriously.

"Sorry Becky," I giggled. "I'm gonna have to fight in order to get that opportunity for the title. But anyway—"

I turned to Daniel and Renee.

"I'm here to pour out my heart into every fight I'm thrown into. The agony that's going with it will remind me to push through it, regardless. I'm here for one message. I will stand and fight with the Searing Sorrow ready and waiting."

However, the golden topic that Daniel and Renee hit me like a slap to the face. I signaled them to not say a word because I already knew what they were going to ask.

"Yes, I know what you're going to ask. About me getting attacked by Maryse after my match against Toby Age. Honestly, what the hell was Maryse's motive for attacking me? Does she not like my unique look? Does she not like my message? Is she threatened by someone who had to scratch, claw, and pave their way to get where they want to be? Is she gonna cling to her husband, The Miz because she's afraid of me? What the hell is her motive? I honestly don't know but I'm want answers. She needs to give me the answers and to not hide like the coward she is. She might as well laugh at me in agony while I'm left in the damn dark!"

Frustrated, I got up from my seat then left the area, needing time to myself before I could allow myself to say anything about Maryse's attack on me.

I hid between two large sound boards then crouched down, hoping that no one would see me. My heart was aching for answers that didn't show up right away which I already knew wouldn't be divulged until next week.

The thought of it made me sick to my stomach but I knew that I had to wait, regardless if I liked it or not. What I was definitely going to do was that I would allow the scars that Maryse gave me, make me stronger in the ring.
