I

Why? Why again? She thought while she took the elevator to her boss office. She was barely holding herself together since yesterday, when she got the news. She knew this could happen. She knew! And that was what hurt her the most. I didn't take it seriously. She could have had a plan B just in case, but she thought she was immune. She was not and now she was facing the consequences.

Once she was out of the elevator, she walked to the front desk where a secretary was waiting for her. "Please go in. Mr. McMahon is waiting for you". She nodded and walked into the office after knocking. "Skylar! Please, take a sit". She did what she was told and took a deep breath trying to control her emotions.

"Mr. McMahon. Thank you for receiving me at such short notice" She said softly. He looked at the fidgeting girl, trying to guess what she could want to talk. "The last time you were here you told me you were going to fight Fergal for the Intercontinental Championship and there was nothing I could do about it. Please, don't tell you're going to challenge Colby for the Universal championship" He tried to lift the mood, getting a small smile on her part. That was the moment he knew something wasn't right. The girl was always smiling and laughing. She always looked happy. However, she seemed devastated, like she was going to break at any minute. "No, although that would be amazing" She responded, remembering the night when she challenged Fergal for his championship.

*Flashback*

Everyone backstage was watching Finn Balor's Promo. He was basically saying that he would defend his championship against anyone who would dare challenge him. You could hear the whole boys locker room arguing about who would be the first one to go to the ring. While they were fighting, a girl stood in the gorilla wearing her ring attire murmuring something her mother taught her almost two decades ago. "Nobody is born a warrior. You choose to be one when you refuse to stay seated. You choose to be one when you refuse to back down. You choose to be one when you stand up after getting knocked down. You choose to be one because if not you, who?" She stood up. Before anyone knew what was happening, her music started to play and she walked out to the stage.

The audience stood up and cheered loudly, although no one knew what was she doing. She walked down the ramp looking straight at Finn, who had an adorable confused puppy look. She was given a microphone on her way up the ring. She smiled. That smile that the fans knew only meant one thing, trouble.

"Well, hello Skye. Is there something you want?" He asked trying to sound tougher. The fans were going crazy. The two people in the ring were their favorites. "Actually, yes. I want the Intercontinental Championship that you have" She told him, making the fans cheer loudly. Finn looked at her, trying to figure out if she was serious. The girl was known for doing stuff that no other women in the roster would. She was the only woman who fought against the men and won. She was the woman who defeated the Undertaker at WrestleMania four years ago. She was unpredictable. "I'm sorry. What?" She smiled widely. "That belt on your waist. I want it. I'm taking it". She explained, pointing at the title. Everyone was cheering so loudly that the boy couldn't even hear himself thinking.

Suddenly, Stephanie McMahon song started to sound and she come out to the stage with microphone in hand. "Skye. Skye. Skye. You cannot do that" She said, with her devious smirk. "Actually, I can" She answered, looking very calm. The boy just looked from one woman to the other not knowing if he should say something. This wasn't scripted. "Blaze, you cannot go around demanding things that you know you can't have" The boss daughter was trying to get out of this sticky situation without looking like the bad guy. "That's true. However, you forget one thing" The girl knew what Stephanie was trying to do and she was not allowing it. "You forget that I have read the stipulations of the championships and I found out there's no exclusivity of gender in the Intercontinental Championship, which means that EVERY superstar can have a go if the champion challenges everyone. The funniest part is that is that he has and I've accepted that challenge. So, turn around and let me beat this guy up for the championship" She explained, slowly so everyone could understand.

Stephanie was shocked. She knew that there was no exclusion of gender, but the company decided to make it a men's competition. She didn't know that Skylar have read the stipulation, she didn't know how to get out of this situation without making the company seem sexist. So she did the nest best thing she could for the company. She would make a profit out of it. "Okay…Okay. If you want a match for the Intercontinental Championship…You got one!" She basically yelled. She wanted to get over this so she could go talk to her dad about all of this. "At Backlash! In a Last Man Standing match!" She yelled and watched the reactions of the fans and the two superstars in the ring. The girl was smiling proudly, hyping the fans. The fans were cheering louder than they had in the last few weeks. And the boy, he was watching the girl standing in the ropes cheering with the crowd while knowing that his match meant more than he could have ever hope for.

*End Flashback*

"If it's not that… What's going on? You let me quite worried after your call" Mr. McMahon took her out of her memories. She stared at him, trying to figure out how to tell him the news. She took a deep breath. "I need you to promise me something, first" She said. When he nodded, she breathe in. "Promise me you will not say anything about what I'm about to tell you" He looked at her. He could see in her eyes that whatever she would say was important and needed discretion. "I promise" He saw the resolution in her eyes and listened carefully to what his superstar have to say.
