Defy Them

Contract Signing

It was Smackdown, now less than two weeks away from Money in the Bank. Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long was about to be interviewed by interviewer Renee Young. The former had one thing in mind, one that he was absolutely going to be sure that it would happen.

"Teddy, you're here with us today to let us know about something," said Renee, straightening her posture. "Tell us what it is."

The Smackdown General Manager took a deep breath before saying exactly what he needed to say.

"Just to make sure that it's for sure happening and not so much crazy stuff is happening," he began. "I am ordering for a contract signing between the WWE Unisex Champion Imigie and her challenger CM Punk. This is to make the match for the Unisex Championship is truly official."

"Thank you, Teddy," nodded Renee as she watched Teddy walk away.

Teddy on the other hand was glad that he would put this contract signing into place. Now, he had to wait for it to actually happen when he would be present. He couldn't help but be excited to hold this contract signing, though he had a feeling that like most contract signings, this one could potentially end in a brawl.

Despite that, he hoped that the signing would go decently without too many issues.

It was now time for the contract signing and General Manager Teddy Long was standing in the middle of the ring. He was holding a microphone in his hand, waiting patiently for the two match participants to make their way down the ring. Luckily for him, they were aware of the signing.

In front of him was a black table with a black folder, holding the contract and two microphones on both longer sides of the table. There were also two black computer chairs on both long ends of the table.

Teddy waited for a few more moments for the cheering crowd to calm down before he would speak. He was nervous but excited to hold this contract signing. The crowd did calm down for Teddy to speak.

"Holla playas!" he called.

The crowd cheered loudly for the general manager's infamous catchphrase. It was too great to not cheer at, but they did calm down after a few seconds.

"Today, we will be holding a contract signing," he announced. "This will make the WWE Unisex Championship match possible. This is between the champion Imigie, and the challenger CM Punk."

The crowd made a number of reactions. They cheered for the match, cheered over hearing Imigie's name, and booed at CM Punk's name.

"I would first like to introduce the champion," continued Teddy. "Someone who had to scratch and claw her way to make it to the top and now, she's showing to be a fighting champion. Ladies and gentlemen, here she is, the WWE Unisex Champion, Imigie!"

Just when the familiar theme song began playing in the arena, the crowd cheered loudly as they saw their fan favorite superstar make her way to the ring, holding the championship title in her hand. She was clad in a black tank top, black skinny jeans, and black Converse shoes.

She took a few moments to high five and hug a couple of fans that were cheering for her. Despite that, she was quick enough to make her way down the ramp then got into the ring, sitting in the chair closest to the ramp. A smile was etched on her face as the crowd calmed down from the cheering.

"Now, let me introduce the challenger," announced Teddy. "Someone who is currently leading his own faction with his teammates and has shown he wants to wreck havoc with them. Ladies and gentlemen, here he is, CM Punk!"

Just when his theme song came on, the crowd booed loudly. They saw him coming down the ramp, dressed in jeans, his Nexus shirt, and sneakers. He had a very sour look on his face, like he didn't want to be there in the first place but was told to or else he'd likely get a spanking. He quickly made it to the ring, not acknowledging the fans at all, though he chuckled to himself over because he felt he was too important for them. He wondered if the rest of Nexus was watching this as well as Wade and Cody, the guys siding with the girl.

Punk got in the ring then sat in the chair across from Imigie, taking notice of the somewhat smug grin on her face. It was obvious to him that ever since she single-handedly embarrassed him, she barely had a serious look on her face, if at all.

"Let's keep this civil, please?" asked Teddy. "No fights or any of that, playas."

The two superstars looked up then nodded to Teddy before looking down to each other again. They both picked their microphones, eyeing each other near vivid curiosity. The question this time was who would sign their names first.

"Ladies first?" snorted Punk, gesturing the contract with a black pen to the woman across from him.

She chuckled, surprised that at least he was being a gentleman, despite the heated feud the two had. However, she nodded then took the contract without question. She was about to sign when she looked at the Nexus leader straight in the eye with a slight sly smirk on her face.

"So, I gotta tell you some things, Punk," she said in a slightly comical tone as she leaned back and played a bit with the pen in her hand. "What I did two week ago was my dead serious proof. I may be smug right now, but I'll give you a warning right now."

She stopped playing with the pen then leaned forward, her expression turned serious. Punk was surprised that this girl seemed to be a master at going from serious to comical and then vice versa.

"That doesn't mean I went easy on you," said Imigie, her voice turning hard. "I've shown you countless times that I'm no stranger to a fight. Try me, and you wish you'd regret it."

Her serious expression turned to a smug expression almost fluidly and fast that Punk nearly missed it as he watched the raven-haired woman quickly signed her name on the contract. In a flash, she finished signing her name then shoved it to Punk, now waiting anxiously for him to sign his name.

Punk got the contract then held the pen, ready to sign, but figured that he'd have a few words with the girl. He almost smiled to himself at the words he had in his head that he wanted to say, but he was able to keep it in.

"You're gonna see the best of me at Money in the Bank," he said. "When that comes out, you're gonna wish you never messed with me and my boys."

He quickly signed his name on the contract, making Teddy smile that now, the match was truly official.

"It's official, playas!" cheered Teddy, doing his infamous dance in front of the two competitors.

The crowd cheered loudly as the general manager took the contract then signed his name on the contract, excited that this match was happening. He was now hoping the two competitors would walk away without getting at each other. However, he realized he would be completely wrong.

"But you've never been a Divas Champion so keep that smug grin while you're at it," said Punk as he took the contract from Teddy then shoved it to Imigie, causing boos to be heard in the arena.

The latter rolled her eyes, unamused by the former's actions to her. She stood up then hit him in the head with the contract, cheers now echoing throughout the arena. The sly smirk on her face didn't disappear as she left the table, holding the Unisex title close to her. Her theme music came on as she walked away, almost chortling to herself.

She made herself clear that she refused to be tampered with. If she was, she'd be in for some hilarious fun. Now, she was getting closer and closer to when she would finally get to defend her title and keep it in the end. No one else could tell her any different.
