*Third Person POV*

It was Hell in a Cell and everyone was excited for it. As usual, there were various discussions on which match on the card would be the best. There were many theories and predictions being put out. However, the real intentions to happen were ones that were not thought of.

The three matches that were being put into place in this story were spread out, so to not put them back to back. The Women's title match was going to be one of the first matches, the World Heavyweight title match was one of the middle matches, and the Mixed Tag titles were one of the last matches.

The excitement in the arena was intense, considering that the matches that were receiving most excitement were the women's title match, the World Heavyweight title match, and the Mixed Tag title match.

It was just minutes before the event officially begun and at the time, word had gotten out that the women's title match would end up opening the show. Though no one directly shouted it, there were still plentiful of rumblings of excitement from the audience, seeing one of the three matches connected to one big feud getting to open the show was exciting.

"Holy shit," said one audience member at ringside to his friends. "The women's match is really opening the show. Who's your pick? I'm going for Imigie."

"Same here," said a woman next to him. "She's basically a fan favorite."

Backstage, a black Ford pickup truck had just pulled up in the parking lot. After a few seconds, the car's engine was turned off and the driver's side of the door opened.

The person who walked out of it managed to surprise several people and the cheers went on. It was Imigie, wearing black leather pants, black sneakers (it appeared she ditched the Converse and the combat boots), black shirt, and a black leather jacket. Her hair bounced a bit from her jumping out of the truck, but it wasn't of elegance. It was of boldness.

She turned to the door behind the driver's door to get something from the seat. After that, she shut the door as she carried the Women's Championship and the woman's half of the Mixed Tag Team Championship. She had a bold and confident look on her face. If anyone tried to faze her, she wasn't fazed.

What made this more surprising was that Cody Rhodes was nowhere near the raven-haired woman. Imigie was just by her lonesome, looking like she barely cared a bit, very likely because of her frustrations with Cody. In the back of her mind, she hoped that she could push them in the back so that she could focus on her matches.

The WWE Women's Champion barely walked a few feet when she was rudely interrupted.

"Excuse me, Imigie?"

She stopped then turned to the interviewer who was calling her name, softening her expression just by a sliver. She gave him a nod, gesturing him to ask her what question he had for her.

"We know tonight, you'll be defending the women's title and the mixed tag titles," the interviewer began. "However, with tensions building between you and Cody, do you have anything to say about that and what impact it could leave on the matches tonight?"

The woman in question furrowed her brow in bafflement, before a smirk sneaked up on her face. The interviewer was sure that Imigie was on the verge of laughing. Perhaps it was that the champ seemed unbothered by this question. Or maybe, the whole situation seemed to barely faze her, if at all.

After that, she changed her expression to a more serious expression. She was not here for nonsense.

"Let me make myself clear," she said in a very firm sounding tone. "That's not my main concern right now. My main concern is going out there and retaining these titles."

She gave a quick gesture to the titles with her head, heavily emphasizing that she was holding them.

The interviewer nodded, acknowledging that he knew what the woman he was interviewing was talking about. He just kept respectfully silent before he could say anything that could possibly set her off. Luckily for him, she looked back up at him and looked like she was about to speak again.

"You know what?" she continued. "It takes a hell lot of fight to have these titles. It'll take even more to keep them. If you're so worried about these recent disagreements, why don't you ask Cody. Thinking about that stuff is the last thing I want to do. Besides, I wouldn't even be surprised if he tries anything."

She fixed him with a glance.

"Regardless, all hell will break loose tonight," she finished, her voice turning low and hard.

With that said, the double women's champion walked away from the interviewer with a bold expression on her face. She was heading for the guerrilla.

It was time for Hell in a Cell. Everyone was excited for the first match to start, given the plentiful of cheers in the arena. Of course, they waited patiently before Michael Cole stopped talking for the first match to start.

Familiar music sounded the arena and a handful of boos erupted in it. The figure definitely rung a bell, given by the sight of her usual shorts, cut-up shirt, Converse, and her skipping.

"The following triple threat match is scheduled for one-fall and it is for the WWE Women's Championship! Introducing the first challenger, from Union City, New Jersey, AJ Lee!"

Some people were quick to notice that Damien Sandow didn't accompany her to the ring like before. To them, it sounded a bit fishy, but a few other audience members assured them that maybe, it's best for the women to come out on their own, same went for the men.

AJ quickly got into the ring then stood there, patiently waiting for the other two competitors. It seemed to her that this would be a rough night, given that she, along with the other two competitors, were having double duty tonight.

Not too long after AJ's music stopped playing, new music played, causing a mix of cheers and boos to be heard in the arena, then the familiar blonde woman with dyed pink strips in her hair came out. It was assumed that the cheers were to welcome this woman back into a PPV for a while, meanwhile, the boos were there to show that the audience was sure she was the bad girl.

"Introducing the second challenger, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Natalya!"

The Canadian woman smiled to the audience as she walked down the ramp. Something began to surface in her mind, the fact that she was going to face Imigie again in the same PPV, given that she did the same thing last year.

Natalya's smile turned into a smirk as she quickly got into the ring, did her usual poses, then stood at the adjacent end of the ring to AJ. She was ready for the champion to enter the arena.

Natalya's music stopped playing as new music played into the arena, sounding all too familiar to the audience. Cheers erupted in the arena as fan-favorite petite raven-haired woman walked down the ring. However, the audience noticed that the clothes she was wearing was the same clothes she wore during her interview earlier before the show started. Even her entrance seemed to have changed. Instead of the usual scream and dipping back she usually did, she just kept walking down the arena with a bold and confident expression on her face.

"Introducing the champion, from Austin, Texas, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Imigie!"

The WWE Women's Champion continued walking down the ramp before she made it to the ring. The whole time, she made absolutely no sound. A few groups of fans turned to each other, seemingly surprised and heavily discussing this new bold look on Imigie. It was brief though because they knew the match would start in a matter of seconds.

Back in the ring, Imigie held the championship high in the air for the audience to see that she was the champion. Once again, no sound came out of her mouth. She then lowered the belt to her chest level. She buried her face in the belt before she spoke.

"I'm with you. I'll make sure you come back safe. I'll make sure I'll walk out with you when this is all over."

The raven-haired woman looked up to the referee who was standing beside her, patiently waiting for her to hand him the title belt. The young woman hesitantly handed him the title, knowing that now, her title was on the line. She knew that she was going to fight even harder than before if she wanted to keep it.

After handing the referee the title, Imigie turned to her two opponents, now ready to fight. Her music stopped playing, signaling that the match was going to start in seconds.

DING! DING! DING!

It was time to start the WWE Women's Championship match. The first one to make a move was Natalya who slapped AJ Lee in the face. AJ stood there in stunned silence for a few seconds, contemplating her reaction and what she should do.

The Black Widow of the division was about to get back at Natalya, but Imigie broke them up, giving AJ a German suplex. Natalya turned her attention to Imigie, contemplating her next move, however, decided that she would give the raven-haired woman a little taunting.

"Yeah!" yelled Natalya then gave a clothesline to Imigie.

AJ had gotten to her feet then turned to Imigie. She began to taunt the younger woman, screaming like how Imigie used to do in her old entrance.

Imigie wasn't amused by the ridiculous taunt. In a reply, she shoved AJ down hard to the floor then began punching her several times. AJ was screaming for a few seconds before Natalya broke them up, this time suplexing the Women's Champion.

Natalya went for the quick pin attempt, but Imigie was quicker to kick out, the former let out a chuckle, now realizing that she was in for a hard fight. It was her and two other women, one of them included the champion, and any chance of either competitor giving up in the next few minutes was extremely slim.

The Anvilette tried to think of her next plan, but AJ managed to surface up. AJ quickly gave Natalya a neckbreaker, then went to pin her. Natalya managed to kick out after only the first count, which wasn't entirely surprising to AJ.

AJ went for another neck breaker to Natalya then pinned her again. However, this time, before Natalya could kick out, Imigie came and pulled AJ from Natalya. Neither AJ nor Natalya noticed it coming and to many of the audience members, Imigie was quick to play possum.

Imigie gave AJ a European uppercut, then gave her a forearm, causing the latter to fall. Imigie began to furiously punch AJ for a while, seemingly still furious with the former Divas Champion.

Natalya tried to kick Imigie to interfere, but Imigie managed to counter Natalya's move with kick to Natalya's gut.

AJ has gotten up to her feet and noticed that Natalya was down. She just chuckled at the Canadian woman's pain, then stopped laughing when she turned to the current WWE Women's Champion. AJ could see that Imigie didn't look very amused at her reaction. What happened was just as dangerous as the latter's look on her face.

Imigie gave a hard-hitting clothesline to AJ out of frustration, then furiously began shoving AJ to the closest ring post. It seemed that this new wardrobe of the champion had managed to ignite a new attitude within her.

Natalya tried to interfere, but Imigie saw it coming and managed to give the Anvilette a scoop-up slam. Natalya was down at the moment.

The champion quickly turned to AJ then gave her an electric chair drop. AJ Lee was also down.

Imigie was the only woman now standing and quickly pondered who she could pin. She ran to AJ to pin her, but AJ kicked out at the two count. Imigie quickly ran to Natalya to pin her, but the Canadian woman kicked out at two.

AJ was the first to get back on her feet and jumped to Imigie, quickly getting success in transitioning into her famous submission, the Black Widow. The crowd was quick to boo in response.

The Women's Champion was slowly beginning to feel the burning pain, but she was desperate to find a way to get out of the submission without tapping out. It was now or never.

Quickly thinking, the raven-haired woman gave AJ a side backbreaker, forcing AJ to let go of her opponent. Imigie was now trying to relieve the burning sensation from her arm.

Natalya took her chance as she put AJ in the Sharpshooter submission move. AJ screamed as she felt the pain and tried to think of her options on if she should tap out or not.

Imigie, who was still trying to rub off the burning pain from her arm, gave a hard-hitting side kick to Natalya. Natalya fell to the floor, prompting Imigie's chance to pin her. Natalya kicked out at two.

Imigie rushed to AJ as quickly as she could then pinned her. AJ managed to kick out at the last moment.

Natalya quickly got a hold of Imigie's arm, the same arm that AJ targeted earlier, and went for an armbar. This managed to continue the damage on the champion's arm, though she wasn't amused.

"Are you kidding me?" she muttered to herself as she tried to think of a way to get out of the submission.

After a few moments, she rolled back, then picked up Natalya with the strength she had. She then did another side backbreaker to Natalya. The crowd cheered at the raw strength, power, and passion being displayed by the champion. She wanted so badly to keep her title and to prove her worth, and it very much showed here.

Now, the champion was once again trying to shake off the pain from earlier, now turning to AJ, who had just gotten back to her feet. The raven-haired woman prepared herself for another big move. She dashed towards AJ, delivering a spear to the former Divas Champion.

Imigie quickly went to pin AJ, but at the two count, Natalya came in for the save, pulling Imigie away from AJ.

Imigie managed to back on her feet, then quickly got onto the top rope. Natalya managed to chase after her, but before the Canadian woman could do anything, AJ quickly caught up with them.

Natalya quickly decided her next moves. She first pushed AJ down, then later gave Imigie a powerbomb.

The Anvilette quickly got down to pin Imigie, the latter managing to kick out at the last moment. Natalya was shocked, now wondering how she would ever be able to put the champion away, especially without having AJ trying to interfere.

Natalya just turned away, pondering away on what she could do next. AJ was still down so maybe, there could be a chance. She just had to think quickly.

However, unknown to Natalya, Imigie was now getting back to her feet, then quickly giving AJ a powerbomb before turning to Natalya. The Queen of Searing Sorrow didn't back down as she picked up Natalya then gave her a Samoan drop.

The champion was on fire, and she made it clear when she turned to the audience.

"That's why I'm the champion!" she shouted, then quickly went to pin Natalya.

Natalya kicked out at two and a half, leaving Imigie in a sliver of disbelief. Despite this, neither woman wanted to give up.

It was starting to look that now, Natalya and Imigie were getting more heated in this match than their one-on-one match last year in the same event. The two of them gave each other an intense stare down that lasted a few moments, until they heard footsteps despite the screaming from the audience.

Natalya and Imigie turned to their common enemy, AJ, then began taking turns brawling with crazy chick. Imigie was first, furiously shoving AJ once again, shedding out the last bit of their feud out there. After she was finished, she moved out of the way for Natalya to have a go at AJ.

Despite the two women being brutal with each other, Natalya and Imigie found common enjoyment in ordering AJ about.

Natalya pinned AJ, but at one, Imigie furiously pulled the Anvilette away from the Black Widow of WWE.

Natalya got to her feet, fuming at the current WWE Women's Champion. Another intense stare down flared up again between the two until Natalya slapped Imigie in face. The latter seemed to at first take it by surprise, but her expression changed to showing that she was less than amused at Natalya's actions.

Without an ounce of hesitation, Imigie slapped Natalya, harder than how she was hit. She quickly followed with a European uppercut, catching Natalya by surprise.

AJ quickly got back up to her feet then turned to her two opponents, quickly thinking on what she should do next. She first turned to Imigie, giving her two punches to the chest to at least slow her down. She then turned to Natalya then gave her a neck breaker. Natalya tried to get back up to her feet, but she was hit by AJ's finisher, the Shining Wizard.

AJ went to pin Natalya, but Imigie managed to pull AJ away from the latter at the two count. Imigie picked AJ up, then gave her a powerbomb.

AJ was out at the moment, so Imigie went to Natalya. The champion was just about to start another brawl with Natalya, when the Natalya grabbed the former by the same arm she had been previously targeted with, setting up another armbar.

Imigie was feeling the pain yet again, trying to think of ways to get out of it without tapping out. It felt like someone was pulling her arm out of her socket. Every time she struggled, the more intense the pain was getting. She was beginning to think that at this point, she would be forced to hold on until her arm got numb. Natalya was relentless.

Before the Women's Champion could make a move, AJ kicked Natalya hard, forcing the latter to let go of the raven-haired woman.

After taking a few seconds to recover, Natalya turned to AJ then gave her a discus clothesline, or what she called "Nattie By Nature," causing the former Divas Champion to fall.

The Anvilette was about to further the damage to AJ when Imigie came to her, delivering a European uppercut, then a spear. The cheers didn't stop from there.

Imigie turned to AJ, who was trying to get back on her feet. Thinking quickly, she positioned AJ in a position that even caught the commentators by attention. The next move the champion delivered, she could clearly hear the commentators, even over the thunderous cheers.

"Holy hell! Faith Breaker! The WWE Women's Champion just paid a tribute to former Divas Champion Michelle McCool with the Faith Breaker! Faith Breaker to AJ Lee!"

Much to everyone's surprise, the raven-haired woman wasn't finished with her dirty work. She picked up AJ, then positioned her in a submission, AJ's back leaning toward the champ's neck. This was the torture rack submission.

Much to Imigie's surprise and relief, Natalya seemed to show no signs of getting up any time soon, now motivating her to keep her hold on this submission.

AJ was screaming, quite baffled that it seemed like she was thrown in a new submission by the person she had lost her championship in the first place. She had only one choice.

AJ tapped the champion's shoulder, signaling the end of the match. It was over. Imigie has retained the WWE Women's Championship.

"Here's your winner by submission, and still the WWE Women's Champion, Imigie!"

The referee was quickly given the title, then he handed it to the still women's champion.

The crowd cheered loudly for their fan-favorite champion, as she smiled and soaked in the moment that now, she was still the champion. She knew that later, she would have to defend the Mix Tag titles with Cody, despite that they were having some issues.

After about a minute, Imigie quickly got out of the ring, still holding the Women's title high in the air. Relentless as she was with her changed wardrobe and demeanor, she was still beyond grateful for everyone standing by her.
