The video begins and we see an incredibly scenic shot from a window. Outside we see a bridge off in the distance with a river running underneath it, and across the other side of the river we see numerous buildings forming a very scenic skyline that stretches off in to the distance, where we can also see a large mountain off in the far distance. After a few seconds of the shot the camera pulls back from the window and spins around, bringing in to focus the former two-time SCW World Heavyweight, two-time SCW Women’s and two-time SCW World Tag Team Champion Zoe Sperling, better known across the world by her stage name, Syren. She smiles at the camera, looking considerably happier than she appeared the last time we saw her in one of these videos.

“Hey everyone,” she begins before turning to look out the window again and smiling at the sight outside her window. “That’s a beautiful sight, isn’t it? I mean I’ve had some nice views from hotel rooms before but this one may just take it to a whole other level. Well, where are my manners today? Welcome to Portland, Oregon. It’s Saturday morning and we’re less than forty-eight hours away from War of the Roses, live tomorrow night from right here in the Rose City. And it’s an exciting day today, you know?”

She smiles at the camera as she walks across the room and puts it down on a stand or a counter top or something and steps away from it, stepping so that more of her is now visible than her shoulders and head and we can see she’s dressed in a pink t-shirt with a logo design on the front of a winged-heart with an S as a part of it and the words written underneath that read ‘Be Jealous’. She stands in front of the camera looking surprisingly upbeat and confident for a moment. “Right, now before we continue there’s a few things I want to say to all of you. The first thing I want to do is send out my love to so many of you. You all know what happened to me on Monday morning, you guys know how hard that’s been for me and honestly it’s meant so much to me to see so many of you tweeting to me and I’ve gotten cards and even flowers and seriously it’s been so wonderful. I didn’t expect any of this last Monday and the fact that some of you guys care this much means everything to me. So thank you. Of course there’s a whole bunch of you out there who’ve done the opposite, who’ve tweeted nasty, spiteful thing like the small, petty people you are and to you I just want to say your words helped motivate me. Your words helped give me back some of that fire that I thought I’d lost last Monday, and so even when you’re trying to hurt me you actually helped me heal. So thank you as well. Thank you for being pathetic. Thank you for being small. Thank you for trying to hurt me, and now you can all watch on as you don’t get what you want. Because I had two directions I could go last Monday. I could crumble and fall to pieces, or I could rise up stronger than I’ve ever been before and I stand before you right now stronger than I have EVER been before and surer of what I want than I have been in a long, long time.”

“So Syren, what is it you want?” she asks before smiling at the camera. “You know what? I’m super glad you asked. What is it that I want? I want to prove to all of you that everything I’ve been saying is true. I feel like I’ve been living in some weird fog or something for the last year, you know? Well, you probably don’t know, but that’s how it feels. I feel like I’ve been living this life that wasn’t really me, that I’ve been settling for things because I thought that’s what I wanted, or what I was meant to want, but I realise now that it wasn’t. I realise now that I spent so much time convincing myself that that’s what I wanted that I may have actually started to believe it. And the last year I’ve let people push me around. I’ve let people walk in to my world and tell me what to do. I’ve let people step on me as they tried to make a name for themselves, and that’s not me. That’s never been what I’ve been about. Now I’ve not exactly been the girl who steps on other people either, although I admit I’m guilty by association because I’ve been aligned with a lot of those people over the years, but that’s never been me. What I’ve been about since day one was going out to that ring week after week and proving myself. And I learned that mentality from the woman who trained me for this business, the woman who showed me that that’s how you make a name for yourself, and that maybe it’s not the easiest route to walk but that at the end of the day, when you look in the mirror you can say that you did it your way, you did the right thing and everything you’ve got you earned! And today I look in the mirror and I say I’m a two-time Women’s Champion and I did that better than anyone has ever done that before me, or since me. I got my name out there as the SCW Women’s Champion, but I made my name as the SCW WORLD Champion, doing THAT better than anyone else and stealing the show every single night and ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to do it again.”

She smiles confidently and nods her head. “Oh yah, you heard me. I’m officially putting everyone else on notice, because I’m done feeling sorry for myself. But I’m not going to be one of those whiney bitches who go around crying that they didn’t get a one-on-one match or proclaim that they’re the ‘Uncrowned Champion’ – especially considering I’m one of the ones who is actually responsible for the fact that he’s never worn a crown – and instead I’m going to go out to that ring and I’m going to settle my business in that ring,” she says with another smile. “I know you’ve probably heard this before but you know what? I don’t care; you can hear it again because this is how I’m feeling right now. I’m done being that girl. You know the one I mean, right? The one you all said always needed help to get anywhere. The one who you all thought needed someone to hold her hand. Not anymore. From this point forward I’m standing alone and I don’t need David Helms to bail me out of trouble, I don’t need Jake Starr to run to my rescue, I don’t need Merrick Wiseman to fight my battles for me, I’m going to fight them for myself and I’m going to fight them where they should be fought, dead in the middle of the ring. So ladies and gentlemen here’s the deal. If you’ve got a problem with me then come and find me, and I’m not hard to find. I’ll be the one standing in the middle of the ring, standing in the middle of the spotlight, telling each and every one of you to bring on the best that you’ve got because I can take it. I don’t run. I don’t hide. And I’m done being a victim! So all you precious little things who think you can step up, all you precious little boys and girls who think that your legacy means more than anyone else’s, come see what it means against me. I’m going to prove beyond doubt that I’m not just the Best Female Wrestler in the World, but that I’m the BEST, period.”

“Now I didn’t get to do that last week against Merrick Wiseman and for that I’m sorry. After all the petty, spiteful things the so-called ‘justice’ had to say about me there was nothing I wanted more than to drop him on his face in the middle of the ring and give him the Total Makeover that he deserved, but it didn’t happen. And it didn’t happen because once again Aiken Frost decided to get involved in my business,” she says with an angry emphasis on his name and on the two words proceeding it. “Now Aiken, I get that you don’t like me. I do. I get that you don’t like me because when it came to the Elimination Chamber I didn’t cower and hide in the corner like you wanted me to. I get that you don’t like me because when your wife tried to hurt me for eliminating her from that match I didn’t run and hide like I was supposed to, I didn’t cower when she told me that she was going to send me to the morgue and I took her best shots, I took the absolute BEST that she had, and the only way she could keep me down was to choke me out. You wanted her to look invincible, didn’t you? And a pretty blonde girl walking in to her world, that was your chance to make that happen! You wanted to make an impact, you wanted to send a message to the entire roster that everyone should be afraid of you, that everyone should be afraid of the Coalition, that we should just stand back and let people like you walk all over us because they think they can but you didn’t get ANY of that because even AFTER your wife choked me out and made me bleed I didn’t do what William Mason did and turn around and run away and hide, I didn’t do what Rachel Foxx did and decide that if she can’t beat them she may as well start joining them, no. I didn’t do that. Instead I got back in to that ring and I dared her to do it to me again, and she got scared.”

She laughs proudly. “Now this is the part where you’re going to tell me I’m wrong,” she says, looking at the camera confidently. “This is the part where you’re going to tell me that she didn’t have anything left to prove against me and that you all got together and you all decided that it was time you moved on, right? Because now she’s the best female on the roster, right? Wrong! You think I’ve not lost before? You think I’ve not gotten beaten by other women before? I have. You know what makes me better than them? I get back up and I get back in that ring and I just keep going. SCW has never seen another girl like me before – hell; they’ve not seen any competitor like me before – because for four years I’ve never let a single loss stop me. I lost the biggest match in the history of this company at Rise to Greatness X and I lost that match to a man I can’t even stand in Shilo Valiant and now look. Where is Shilo Valiant? I haven’t seen him around lately. But I’m still here. Your wife cut me open at the Elimination Chamber, your monster threw me in to that structure and almost killed me in order to eliminate me and the next week where was I? I wasn’t hiding away somewhere licking my wounds and feeling sorry for myself, I was BACK IN THAT RING ready and willing to fight ANYONE that Fatal Fortunes put in front of me and begging that it was that monster, even without the title on the line, so that I could prove to him, prove to you and prove to everyone else that I wouldn’t ever back down from him,” she proudly before smirking again. “But it wasn’t him, was it? It was Rachel Foxx, and she didn’t want to play. Your wife did though. She attacked me with a bit of Plexiglas and I didn’t run. I will never run, not from people like you Aiken. Not from small, petty people like you who think they can control people like me by making us afraid.”

“You think you’re the first person who’s ever tried that?” she asks with a laugh. “You’re not. People have been playing that card for a long, long time because it’s easier for them to make people afraid so they can get what they want. Some of the most evil men in history have done that to innocent people, playing on their fears and making them think things they should do and every time one of those people steps up and tries to make the world afraid of them then someone like me steps up and shows the world they don’t need to run from you. And we don’t Aiken. We don’t need to run from you. You want me to though, don’t you? You want me to run. You want me to be afraid. You want me to see your face in my nightmares. And I do,” she says calmly, nodding her head to confirm that she knows what she’s saying. “Yah, that’s right, I see your face in my nightmares. Why wouldn’t I? For the last few weeks you’ve done everything you can to give me nightmares about you. You’ve drugged me, kidnapped me and tried to drain my blood away and why? Because you find it funny? Because you’re a sick, twisted freak of nature and you want to bathe in my blood to put that image in my head so that I can never sleep another whole night again without waking up in a cold sweat because of you. Yah, I know that’s what you want. You want that level of fear in me because you think you can break me. You’re wrong. I don’t bend. I don’t break. All these attacks, all times you’ve knocked me down, all these times you’ve TRIED to make me run haven’t made me scared of you Aiken, they’ve only made me more determined to stand across the ring from you and do to you what the entire roster has wanted to do to you for such a very long time, ever since you brought your monster in to our company and you started taking people out.”

“Oh yah, I remember that night. I remember the night that the monster made his debut. I remember it very well because I remember watching what he did to Lucas Knight on that night,” she says with an almost ashamed look in her eyes. “Lucas and I aren’t exactly friends anymore, we haven’t been for a long time, and I remember at the time feeling like he deserved what happened to him. I feel bad about that now. You see there was a time that I loved him. There was a time that he made me feel like the most special person in the world and I’d have done anything to protect him from something like that happening to him. I also know how tough he was. I watched at the time in horror at what the monster did to him, and I told myself that he deserved it for what he did to me but he didn’t. Nobody deserves that! And you know what Aiken? If I’d known at the time what you were going to become, if I’d known at the time the other bodies you were going to leave in your wake all because of the handiwork of your monster then I would never have let it happen. I would have tried to stop it. But I didn’t. I hated him enough to watch his career almost ended because of someone as small and pathetic as you, and so tomorrow night I want to make you feel that small. Now I’m not as big as Blitzkrieg was, and I know I won’t be able to throw you around, I won’t be able to break you in half, I won’t be able to powerbomb you on the concrete until your body stops responding and your entire world goes black. I’m not going to be able to do that so I’m not even going to try, and instead I’m going to beat you in another way. You put Lucas in the hospital. You stalled his career for over a year and why? Because you could! And you’ve done it to others. You’ve done it to Shaya Blackley and to Robert Joseph Kelly; you’ve quite possibly ended their careers forever and why? Because you could! Well tomorrow night Aiken I’m going to beat you in the middle of that ring and if you want to know why the answer is simple: BECAUSE I CAN!”

“For weeks you’ve tried to make me afraid of you and I am afraid but I will NEVER give in to that fear,” she says proudly and determinedly. “Tomorrow night I’m going to fight you. Tomorrow night I’m going to hurt you. Tomorrow night I’m going to leave you lying in that ring and I’m going to show you that all the sneak attacks, all the beat downs, all the times I’ve been cut open or choked out or drugged and made to play the victim haven’t made me weaker, they haven’t given you some incredible edge over me, no the only thing they’ve done is they’ve made me STRONGER! There is not a single person in the backstage, other than those you call your ‘Coalition’, who don’t want to see you get what’s coming to you Aiken and you will. You’ll get it at my hands; I swear that to you right now. You think you’re dominant because you’ve crushed so many people under your boots but you’re not. I know a thing or two about dominance. I know what it takes to survive out there Aiken, and thanks to you I know what it means to get up from the worst things that I can imagine, to come back to work and to just keep fighting. They’re calling it a wrestling match tomorrow night, but it won’t be. Tomorrow night it’s going to be a fight. And you know all about my personal problems, don’t you? You know that David broke my heart, that we’re not together anymore, that Pinnacle for me is a long forgotten memory and I know the Coalition isn’t. I know you’ve got your backup. I know you’ve got your wife and you’ve got the sadistic Rachel Foxx. If you want to bring them with you then it won’t bother me. I’m not going to cower because you want to bring your bitches to watch you get what’s coming to you. The Perfect World tried to stand against you guys and one by one you hurt them, you injured them, you sent them crawling away and even when they beat you, you still never let them get the last laugh, did you? They were a team and I’m just one woman, and tomorrow night I may be charging to my death but I’m going to charge in anyway, and I’m going to fight, and I’m going to win. Tomorrow night you get what you deserve Aiken, what you truly deserve, and I’m going to do it in front of the entire world so they can enjoy it too. And when I’m done I want you to crawl back to your wife and tell her what happened, but most of all give her a message from me, ok? Tell her I told her to JUST BE JEALOUS!”

She smiles at the camera again before giggling a little and gives it a little wave goodbye before the video comes to its end.
