9 Ups & 3 Downs From Impact Wrestling (Oct 6)

7. Smiley Kylie Snaps

Kylie Rae is the professional wrestling definition of optimism. There's no possible way of denying this. With that in mind, though, it does make things slightly more difficult when she finds herself in sticky situations, as her upbeat attitude can detract from a serious storyline.

Thankfully, that wasn't a problem here, as she brutally assaulted Kimber Lee in the interview area as revenge for 'The Crown Jewel' forcing her to watch Deonna Purrazzo break Susie's arm at Victory Road. As it turns out, there's a breaking point for 'Smiley Kylie'.

Given the nature of her rivalry with 'The Virtuosa', Kylie needed something like this to further boost her character. Having her maintain her positivity throughout the entire story arc with Deonna wouldn't necessarily have ruined the atmosphere, but she can't exactly come to the first show post-Victory Road all smiles after what happened to Susie. Things need to make sense.
