It was now October 23rd of NXT and during those several weeks, things have been looking quite well with Imigie. Nothing massively eventful for her, although Sasha looked to quite interested in her. It wasn't for aligning reasons.

Imigie was now at ringside, siding with Bayley as she went to face Sasha. Imigie was now keeping a close eye on Sasha, just in case if she had to face The Boss in later time. Imigie felt that last time, she was slightly unprepared for Sasha's nasty demeanor. It had caught her by surprise.

Sasha's every move to Bayley was showing that she wanted to dominate. Not just that, she wanted to continue her evil spirit that showed she wasn't here for games. She meant business, and she was going to make sure no one would try to put a halt to it.

The damage was only added further when The Boss showed her growing dislike for the other woman. It included her mocking the Hugger, something the raven-haired woman took close notice of. She was sure that what Sasha did to her months ago, was simply only a preview of what would happen today.

If Bayley had any opportunity to turn it around, she was nearly losing that chance. Even though she came across Sasha many times, she still was surprised that this was how vicious the other woman was. She could see how helpless her raven-haired friend looked from the corner of her eye.

Their grueling match ended with Sasha going for a Bank Statement. Bayley felt the agonizing pain and knew that there was only one thing left to do. She tapped the mat, showing that she had given up and for Sasha to let go.

Unfortunately for Bayley, Sasha didn't let go of her grip. Instead, she held on for a few more seconds before finally letting go to acknowledge her victory. It was short-lived though as after she finally acknowledged her victory, she began to viciously attack Bayley.

Imigie watched this with shock, keeping mental notes in her head about how to be able to at least stand a chance, should she ever come across Sasha's assault. However, after standing there for a few moments, she rushed into the ring to save Bayley and fend Sasha off.

At the same time, Imigie noticed that from the corner of her eye, Becky Lynch was making her way to the ring for the same reason. The two women consoled Bayley for a few moments then they stood up.

Bayley smiled to the two women and slowly made her way to the ropes to get out of the ring and leave. Before she could reach the ropes, Becky reverse-clotheslined her to the mat, leaving the other woman dazed and stunned. Imigie watched with surprise to see this happen right in front of her eyes.

Becky gave a small mischievous smile to the fallen Bayley, pleased with her job. She knew why she did this. Being nice to people sometimes wasn't the way to go, and it had led to too many downfalls.

However, she took notice of the raven-haired woman from the corner of her eye. The two stared intensely at each other for several moments, wondering if they would spare an attack to each other, gain an ally, or plan to attack each other. Through the months, they had gotten close became good friends with each other. It was a form of a flourishing friendship that both women wondered if it was worth destroying.

Becky remembered seeing a few of Imigie's matches where the latter seemed to show a more ruthless streak. Truthfully, the former saw the raven-haired woman was a different person entirely, not someone looked too much like a nice girl, but not completely mean either. It was like watching Sasha and Bayley rolled into one person.

Imigie on the other hand after being shocked to see Becky's attack on Bayley, gave a slight smirk to the other woman. While she had no intentions on taking alliances, she was interested in Becky's newly ruthless streak she developed.

If anyone expected for one woman to attack the other, they were in for a surprise that was unexpected. Becky took a step closer to Imigie the reached out her hand to the other woman, as if she were asking to shake her hand.

Imigie was suspicious, for thought that Becky would attack her, but she reached her hand out to Becky anyway, just for her own curiosity. Much to her surprise, Becky didn't attack her, but instead took her hand then shook it. The crowd cheered loudly at the sudden event, though surprised that Imigie was spared from an attack, even though she wasn't a heel.

After a few seconds, they let each other's hands go just when a referee came to give Becky a microphone, who took it out of his hand without a word. This surprised the crowd, wondering what Becky would say now. All they could do was wait patiently and remain silent.

"I have respect for you, Imigie," said Becky with absolute sincerity in her voice.

Unknown to either woman, Bayley was watching the whole thing in complete shock. Did this mean she lost a friend in Imigie too? She didn't understand what was going on, but she about to find out.

"I may have respect for you as an ally, but I am not asking you to join me," continued Becky, her thick Irish accent permeating the air.

She handed the microphone to Imigie then got out of the ring, standing beside Sasha Banks. Sasha raised Becky's hand up in victory, as if wanting to shove the newly made alliance in Bayley and Imigie's faces.

"Not that I care to," said Imigie bluntly. "I have great respect for you too, Becky, but joining Sasha, I will not. I'm not one to take sides."

No more words were said as Becky and Sasha turned to leave the arena. It was just Bayley and Imigie in the ring alone.

Imigie turned to Bayley who was still on the ground, looking up at her with potent despair in her eyes. It was like she was calling her for help. However, she was about to find out if the other woman would lend her a hand despite the unexpected change of events.

Imigie could see the look in Bayley's eyes and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. However, she knew that she had to carry on with her own mission, but it didn't mean she would abandon her completely.

"I'm sorry Bayley," she said softly and rather sadly. "I don't take sides. The only side I take is my own side. No one else."

Not another word was said as she got out of the ring, leaving Bayley alone. She didn't want this to mean she turned on Bayley. She wanted this to mean that she would take her own side and wouldn't mind reaching out to Bayley or Becky. Sasha though would be a challenge.

Bayley was at a lost cause but Imigie was spared from an attack, only to further develop the mystery behind her.
