*Imigie's POV*

Smackdown Women's Champion Becky Lynch and Naomi had just finished their segment and it was time for a commercial break.

I was anxious about my match as I waited for the commercial break to be over.

Earlier, I had saw Paige beat Natalya for her first match on Smackdown which was incredible.

I was just ready to get this match on the road and I had no doubts about that.

I knew I was going against a man so I put myself through a test earlier today by deadlifting 250 pounds. That was very interesting but nevertheless, I got it done and I was ready to go out there.

My theme song began to play and the pop for me exploded the entire arena. I couldn't believe how pretty awesome this was as I walked to the arena.

"The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Austin, Texas, Imigie!"

I gave a little kind gestures to the fans, extremely pleased to be here.

I got to the ring between the first and second rope then stood there, waiting for my opponent to come out.

Out of surprise, I noticed Renee Young standing in the middle of the ring. I didn't know why she was there but I decided to maybe wonder what she had to ask me.

"Imigie, welcome to Smackdown Live and we're all open arms for you but I know you were originally scheduled to compete against Maryse but she has refused to comply," Renee said. "And of course you were told earlier that you may have no choice but to fight against a man. Give us your thoughts."

I knew the answer to that would be too damn easy as I took a deep breath, ready say something.

"Renee," I said sternly. "I welcome a fight against anyone. It could be with the time keeper or it could be-"

I turned and pointed to JBL who didn't looked too pleased that I was calling him out.

"It could be JBL," I continued. "Who's probably disrespected the likes of us true Texans who aren't afraid to fight."

The crowd oohed at my comment, knowing that I might have dragged him. But now I had to get back on topic.

"But seriously," I said. "Ever since I first stepped a foot into the WWE, I have stood for a fight. Since then, I have stuck to my guns when I won the NXT Women's Championship and I have poured my fights and my sorrows on it until the day I lost it. But now, I'm on a new chapter. I'm here on Smackdown Live and I have a new goal to hit. That goal is to become the Smackdown Women's Champion. How long is it gonna take, you ask? I don't know. But no matter what, I will battle through the obstacles that will stand in my way and those who are afraid of me will never know what's getting to them. Speaking of those who are afraid of me, Maryse. Well, if she wants to run away from me, that's her deal. But soon, she'll get what's coming for her. I know having a woman debut in a match against a man here in the WWE is an extremely rare occurrence but I'm here to solidify my stance as a lesson for Maryse who would rather spend her days with her husband carrying them Louis Vuittons rather than standing up like a real woman should. But every woman in the locker room will know that Searing Sorrow is here to stay!"

The crowd cheered loudly for me as we waited for who would come out. During this, Renee got out of the ring quickly as I just stared at the titantron.

Eventually, the crowd grew silent as I just waited patiently. There were so many guys here on Smackdown Live who could definitely make their appearance and show Maryse that they weren't afraid to fight.

After about a few minutes, I heard a familiar song play but it wasn't Carmella who was competing. It was her valet, James Ellsworth.

The crowd was laughing, probably from embarrassment that I would probably end him in a squash match.

James got into the ring as I laughed a bit to myself, knowing fully well it would be easy to end him.

The bell rang, signaling for the match to start as I immediately went for a kick to the groin.

James tried to kick back but I countered it into a German suplex.

Even with the amount of strength I had, I was fast too. I guess being strong and fast made an interesting combination for me.

James punched me through the chest but I wasn't having any of it.

I gave him a pumphandle suplex before positioned James for my scorpion crosslock submission, Searing Sorrow.

James tapped out almost immediately as I dropped him then smiled at myself for being this quick at defeating him.

However, new music came on and I instantly recognized who it was.

Shane McMahon's music stopped playing as he prepared to say something, the microphone in hand did speak that he had something for me.

"Congratulations for your win, Imigie," he said a little apprehensively. "But, James is not your opponent. He was just a filler for you while your actual opponent got ready. But he is ready to to come out to face you."

I was shocked when I heard this. At the same time, I nodded a bit with a small smirk on my face. Maybe that was why James was so easy to beat.

"Anyway," Shane continued. "Imigie, I introduce your new opponent; from Corpus Christi, Texas; weighing 245 pounds; Toby Age."

New music came on and the crowd thundered loudly, however, not a loud as they popped for me but still loud enough for me to not be able to hear my own thoughts.

The man who was coming down the ring was rather slender but muscular with tan colored skin. His serious six pack was no joke, defining his athletic lines. Damn! They were much more evident now than they were when I was in NXT.

He quickly got into the ring through the middle rope as he made his way to me. There was a serious height difference. He was tall, about six foot six while I was a short five feet. I didn't care. I had deadlifted two hundred and fifty pounds recently so I had no issue trying to pick him up.

The bell rang as Toby and I locked up, trying to fumble for the control of the match. I heard Mauro Ranallo's excited voice over us, probably pleased to see two new superstars from NXT on Smackdown Live.

I managed to fight back with an Irish whip to the turn buckle then took him on a little ride with the alley oop bomb.

He answered with kick to the gut, causing me to wince at the pain as I went down on one knee.

It didn't take me long to come up with an answer. I answered with a clotheline then gave him a German suplex.

I didn't want to pin him right away since it was way too early in the match. He would kick out and there was no way in hell I was going to end this match early.

I was here to show that WWE could easily have a men verses women match and they'd be just as just as passionate in the ring as your average match in a WWE ring. A match like this very one was a way for me to prove that these kinds of matches didn't need love stories ending badly.

Toby went for a side tackle. This was something I never expected but the impact was rather quite painful.

He then went for a cross arm breaker, pulling my arm so much that it felt like someone was pulling it out of its socket.

The pain was setting in and I gasped. Sure, I've been in these submissions before but this one was excruciating. I wasn't going to give up though. Giving in would be in my last mistake. I had to think of something to help me escape.

Just five seconds later, I thought of an escape plan, or more so a reversal. I had high resilience which got me at a big advantage.

I rolled towards Toby, standing up in the process. My next two moves were the other things that would really get the crowd rolling.

I pulled Toby up with the amount of strength I had. I lifted him up just above my chest then threw him down, into a power bomb. The crowd cheered loudly over the amount of strength, agility and resilience I had to showcase.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!" The crowd chanted, expressions shocked over what happened.

That was when it happened. I positioned Toby into my finishing submission, Searing Sorrow, regardless of my arm still trying to push away the pain from earlier.

Toby tapped on the mat just after five seconds of me holding on to the submission. I let him go as the bell rung for the match's end, my theme song playing during that.

"Here is your winner by submission, Imigie!"

I couldn't believe I was victorious from my first ever match on the main roster. The way how I pulled it off though gave a hell lot more executing vibes from this.

From being stuck into the Cross arm bar, to pulling Toby up, to slamming him down, to putting him in my submission, to him tapping out.

The burning sensation on my arm was still taking time to subside but that didn't matter to me. What mattered to me was that I pulled this off so well.

The fact that I even was given the opportunity to go against a man was something beyond unexpected but I was very honored to do such a thing. If Maryse didn't want to face me, then I welcomed other challenges.

I celebrated my victory until I felt someone push me down to the ground. The impact was rather painful. I was in a daze for only a few seconds.

I looked up and an expression of sorrow was clear on my face when I saw who my attacker was.

It was the same woman who chickened out of the match that I was suppose to have: Maryse.
