The video begins and we see a view on the streets of Mexico City. The shot we see of the city fulfils just about every cliché that most have with Mexico. There are small paved streets with people pulling carts down them, there are a few kids playing soccer in the street, there is even a small stall on the side of the road that seems to be selling some kind of fast food. The camera slowly pans down the street from high above before we hear the voice of Zoe Sperling, better known in the wrestling world as Syren. “You know, Mexico City has a special place in my heart,” she says, continuing to film the people, zooming in on the kids playing football for a second before panning back out again and turning the camera around. As she turns the camera toward herself we find that she’s sitting on a rooftop somewhere in the city. “We haven’t been here for a few years. SCW hasn’t done a tour of Mexico since 2012. The last time we did we were right here in this city, and it was a special event for me. Ok, so it wasn’t one of the normal big pay per view events. It was an international pay per view though. It was a show for the international fans to enjoy, and it was released on DVD in the United States a little after. I remember that night so clearly because there were some big matches on that show but none was bigger than the main event. The main event saw the team of the SCW World Heavyweight Champion Shilo Valiant and the SCW Women’s Champion Marina Trent team up to face the SCW World Tag Team Champions, Dark Fantasy.”

She shrugs her shoulders. “What was so big about that, you ask? Sure, we’d faced them before that. We’d actually faced them two or three times before that night. So what made that night different? Well, the fact that they were both holding championship gold and so were we made it something a little special. It was two of the best in singles competition teaming up against the best tag team, and you don’t get those kinds of matches very often. But there was something more than that as well – it was my first ever time in a pay per view main event,” she says, smiling at the memory. “Like I said, it wasn’t one of the big pay per views. Most people in the United States weren’t even really that aware of it, unless they were trying to seek out a stream online or desperately waiting to buy the DVD. I can’t claim that it was the biggest thing ever because realistically I know it wasn’t, and I knew it then as well, but for me it was something that little bit more special than anything I’d done before. I saw that night as an opportunity. I’d been so angry at that point in my career. I’d gotten so angry about CHBK costing me a match with Lucas Knight a few nights before, I’d gotten so upset over the fact that I felt like while my tag team career was going exactly the way I wanted it to I just couldn’t catch a break in singles competition, and I was especially angry that Marina Trent was carrying around the Women’s title when I couldn’t even get a rematch for it. I was letting it all get to me. I was letting it all get in my head. But that night, that match... that made me hungry!”

“I’d been in a few Breakdown main events before. My first ever Breakdown main event was actually defending the Women’s title two years earlier against Katie Steward. That, at the time, was the most incredible moment of my career because it felt like those people had come that night to watch me, you know? When you’re given that chance, when you’re given the opportunity to be the marquee star, even for one night, it feels incredible. And that night in Mexico it was my name on the marquee. That night in Mexico it was my opportunity to shine when the lights were at their brightest. That night in Mexico made me realise that I was never going to be satisfied with just holding a title or being part of the show, I wanted my name to be the one they ALL talked about,” she says, smiling a little as she does so. “And that night Dark Fantasy stole the show. It was truly incredible. And because of that night, because of the hunger I felt for more of the same, my career changed from that point. I started working even harder. I was more determined than I’d ever been to climb the ladder. That night, at an international pay per view event right here in Mexico City started me on the path to where I am today. And tomorrow night I step back in to the ring again in another main event in Mexico City. Tomorrow night I step back in to the ring once again with another opportunity to show the world that I’m still hungry, that I’m still determined. And the best part is tomorrow night I’m in there again with the World Champion.”

“It’s not the same way it used to be though. This match isn’t anything quite like the one I had two years ago. Ok, so it’s a tag team match and once again I’m across the ring from the reigning World Champion with everything to prove. And ok, so the World Champion is once again looking down at me dismissively, once again thinking that he’s that much better than me, once again making excuses for everything that’s happened between us in the past. That’s about where the similarities end though. Because this week I’m not teaming with a partner I love and trust more than anyone else in the world, I’m teaming with an ally that I know I have to be wary of. This week the partner of my opponent isn’t arguably the best competitor in the Women’s division, this week she’s arguably the best competitor in the world. And this time I’m not just fighting to prove that I can compete at the highest level, I’m fighting for my own survival,” she says, putting considerable emphasis on the final word. She pauses then, holding the camera further away from herself with her right hand before lifting up her shirt to reveal her ribs are taped up. She then pans the camera down to her knee where we can see, due to the fact that she’s only wearing a short pair of shorts, that her knee is taped up as well and has a brace on it. As she shows these battle scars she starts addressing what she’s showing us. “And make no mistake about it as well, that’s what this week is about. This week isn’t just about proving myself; this week is about SURVIVING what’s coming. And that’s something that I only just managed on Saturday night.”

“So, this is the part where I talk about Saturday. This is the part where I brag about my success. This is the part where I tell you that I told you so, right? I’d love to do that. You have no idea how much I’d love to do that. Only there’s a problem: I can’t. I can’t brag about what happened, I can’t brag about beating the SCW World Heavyweight Champion, I can’t tell the world that I did EVERYTHING I promised I’d do because I didn’t. What happened on Saturday night was that Shaun and I had an incredible match. We gave each other everything we had. He thought it was going to go a certain way. He had a plan, right? He was going to beat me and show the world that I didn’t deserve to be a part of ‘his’ match at Rise to Greatness. He was going to beat me and show the world that he was right all along and that it what Jake and me had done had ‘ruined’ the match. Only he didn’t. He had me set up. He was about to finish me off. He was about to drop me to that mat and before he knew what was happening I dropped him. Total Makeover, middle of the ring! The SCW World Heavyweight Champion, the man who believes his own hype, the king of excuses, the two-faced asshat, got dropped in the middle of the ring by the girl who ‘didn’t deserve to be there’. And what happened next? One-two...” she says, counting out the count on her fingers before shaking her head as she looks at just the two fingers. “There wasn’t a three. There would have been a three, but there wasn’t. The reason there wasn’t isn’t because Shaun proved how tough he was. The reason there wasn’t isn’t because Shaun proved everything he claimed was true. The reason there wasn’t isn’t because our World Champion is a warrior. The reason there wasn’t is because our World Champion is a bitch.”

“On Saturday night, in front of the world, the referee couldn’t make the three count because before that hand could slap the mat the third time he was pulled out of the ring. Now that would suck under most circumstances. If someone had pulled the referee out of the ring under most circumstances that would have hurt me, that would have pissed me off, but this wasn’t most circumstances. This was me about to prove something that I’ve been looking to prove for almost A YEAR. This was me on the verge of the biggest win I’ve had in a VERY long time. This was me about to show the world that no matter what Shaun Cruze or Silas Mason want to say I do deserve to be a part of the main event on the biggest stage. It couldn’t have been MORE IMPORTANT to me that the referee slapped the mat the third time. But he didn’t. And the reason he didn’t was because of Ivy Knight, of all people,” she says, shaking her head. The expression on her face is hard to read, but it’s clearly one of disappointment and emotion. “Of all the people to do that to me, of all the people to cost me that opportunity, of all the people to ROB me of that chance, it was the woman who TRAINED me. Now I know Ivy and I don’t get along anymore but for those of you with longer memories, for those of you who’ve been around for a while, you’ll remember our debuts, right? August 19th 2009, the night that ‘Jinx’ and ‘Syren’ debuted in SCW together! I still think back on that night fondly. I still smile when I think about it. And until Saturday night I would have done anything for her. But on Saturday night she hurt me in the worst way.”

She clearly looks emotional. “Not only did she cost me the pin, not only did she cost me the proof of everything I’ve worked a whole YEAR to prove, but then to make it even worse she stood there and she watched as Angelica Jones and Kraven Wallace jumped me. She stood there and she watched as I was attacked by two heavies for Silas Mason. And she stood there and she watched as her boyfriend put me in the Sharpshooter, the submission hold that SHE used to use with such ferocity, and tried to take me out. And after all of that I have one question I need to ask: are you proud of yourself Shaun?” she asks, shaking her head slowly. “That woman who helped you, that woman who SAVED you, was the best person I’ve EVER known. You and your friends did a number on me. By the time that Jake Starr hit the ring to run you guys out of there I was hurt, I could barely walk, and by the time that Supreme Saturday ended I had the hell beaten out of me a second time as well. Now I’m carrying all kinds of injuries. Now I’m hurting all over. You guys did a number on me for sure. You tried to take me out. You’ve put me in all kinds of physical pain on Saturday, whether it was Angelica, Kraven, Harmony Fisher or Brittany Lohan who beat the hell out of me. You guys fulfilled your threat. You hurt me. But what hurt me more than anything is what Ivy did. That’s the thing I can’t forget. That’s the thing that I’ve thought about every moment since. But in a weird way I want to thank her, because all she’s done is light a fire inside me again.”

She pans the camera down to her knee again before bringing it back up. “On Saturday night Silas World tried to END me. On Saturday night Shaun Cruze put me in the Sharpshooter and tried to TAKE ME OUT. At Rise to Greatness though I’m going to end something as well, I’m going END the reign of Shaun Cruze, I’m going to take the SCW World Heavyweight Championship and I’m going to raise it over my head and when I do Shaun, Kelcey, Silas, Harmony, Brittany, Angelica, Kraven, Taylor Chase, Scott Cannon, whoever the fuck else is part of your alliance, when I raise that title over my head you’ll ALL know that you TRIED to take me out and I STILL BEAT YOU,” she screams at the camera, breathing heavily and letting her emotion get the best of her. She takes several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. “It’s going to happen. It’s going to happen more than ever now because what happened on Saturday didn’t break me boys and girls, what happened on Saturday only made me MORE determined! But there’s a long way to go until that match, isn’t there? There’s a long way to go until we get in to the ring when it’ll be everyone for themselves, and the first stop along the way to then is Breakdown and the four of us in tag team action. And like I said before, this week I’m teaming with a man I would never have believed I would be, a man that I would never have believed I could trust, and a man who I still have my doubts about if I’m honest, but a man who proved on Saturday that our alliance means something to him.”

“Jake and I didn’t start this alliance because we’re friends. We didn’t start this alliance because we’re dying to work together. We didn’t start this alliance because we wanted to. We started this alliance because we HAD to,” she says, emotion still flowing out of her. “We had to join together for our own survival, because if we didn’t then right now he may not be here. If I wasn’t watching his back maybe he wouldn’t be here, but knowing Jake as well as I do something tells me he’d have found a way. I mean, I remember seeing him get dropped on his head and everyone wonder if he’d broken his neck, but he still came back. He’s a tough son of a bitch, he’d have found a way back I’m sure. But if not for him then I wouldn’t be here this week. If not for him then Shaun Cruze wouldn’t ever have released that hold. If not for him then I’d be in even worse a state than I am right now. And make no mistake about it I’m hurt. I’m not even CLOSE to one hundred percent. But right now I’ve got more fire in me than I’ve EVER had before and THAT is what is going to get me through Breakdown, because Breakdown is my chance at retribution. Breakdown is my chance to prove myself again. Breakdown is my chance to show the world once again that not only do I deserve to be in the position I’m in, not only am I a contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at Rise to Greatness, but that I’m the one who’s leaving with that title when the match is over. And I know all three of you want to doubt that. Well it’s true.”

“This week it’s Jake Starr and Syren teaming for the fifth time in a year – something that I wouldn’t ever have believed would happen once, let alone five times – against the SCW World Heavyweight Champion Shaun Cruze and the jewel of Silas World, Kelcey Wallace. And you all know my focus in on Shaun, you all know that after what he did to me on Saturday there’s nothing I want more than to drop him on his face AGAIN and this time PIN his shoulders to the mat without my bitch of a former friend interrupting, but make no mistake about it my focus is just as much on Kelcey Wallace. I congratulated her a few weeks ago. That was hard for me because, well, I wanted to win that match incredibly badly, but I still congratulated her a few weeks ago. She won Taking Hold of the Flame. She’s the first woman to do it. She has every reason right now to feel incredibly proud of that. She’s earned her title match, she’s earned her place in this match, but the thing that bugs me right now about Kelcey Wallace is this idea that she’s ‘perfect’. I’ve heard it so many times. ‘Perfect World’, ‘Perfect Ten’, ‘Rise to Perfection’, they’re all pretty cool marketing gimmicks but there’s one problem with it that I’ve been dying to point out for weeks – she’s not perfect,” she says, shaking her head slowly. “Winning Taking Hold of the Flame is a hell of an accomplishment, former World Heavyweight Champion is a hell of an accomplishment, but perfect? No. You’re not ‘perfect’ in this business if you take advantage of the evils committed by others to benefit from them. Of all people, I should know that.”

“It annoys me, you know? Kelcey’s got this thing going on where she looks at everyone with big old puppy dog eyes and she says ‘it’s not my fault’. She doesn’t want to do these things, right? She doesn’t want to be a part of this. She has to do it. Silas owns her contract. I don’t know ALL the details, although I am dating her nephew-in-law so I know a little more than perhaps my tag team partner this week does, but from what I do know she signed a deal that basically means that Silas is her manager. It means Silas is her boss. Apparently though that must have been a HELL of a contract because she not only signed over her image rights and the management of her career, she also signed over her FREE WILL! I mean shit; even the Genie from Aladdin couldn’t control free will! So that must be a HELL of a contract,” she says, shaking her head. She has a demeaning tone in her voice, clearly unimpressed by everything. “Tell me Kelcey, does he get to decide who you love as well? Does he get to decide who you sleep with? Does he control what you say? Are there strings, or does he just shove his hand up your ass? Now I know these are questions you’ve probably faced before, questions you probably find all the more ironic coming from me of all people considering the things I’ve done in the past, but here’s the difference between you and me – I was a bitch, I did bad things for selfish reasons, but no matter what I did I never put on the big old puppy dog eyes and told everyone ‘it’s not my fault’. I took responsibility for my actions.”

“I said all of this to my boyfriend. He asked me a simple question – what other choice does she have? Her contract is owned by Silas Mason. She can’t do anything about it. Except she can. You see no matter what that contract says, there’s this thing that we normal, regular people can do. It’s called ‘saying no’. It’s an amazing ability, really. Here’s how it works. There’s this thing happening that you don’t agree with. Someone tells you to get involved. Someone tells you to do everything you say. You say ‘no’. Is that so hard? Apparently it must be, because like I said that contract she signed apparently means she can’t ever say no or... what will happen, exactly? He’ll take everything she has? Bullshit! He needs her. She’s his cash cow. He needs to keep milking that cow for everything he can; because god knows there isn’t a single thing that fugly dick can do on his own. And yah Silas, I insulted you. What are you going to do, send the troops after me? You were going to do that anyway, right? So while you’re already planning on putting me on the injured list there’s not a whole lot of point in me biting my tongue and I may as well tell you how I REALLY fucking feel,” she says, shaking her head defiantly. “And now everyone else feels so bad for Kelcey. Whether they’re compete cockbags or not, everyone on Twitter just gets so angry over it. Oh, poor Kelcey, it’s just not fair what he’s doing to her. She’s in such a bad situation. She has no control. BULLSHIT! Everyone has control. Silas may own her career, her house, her money and everything else but he doesn’t own HER. She’s GIVING him that.”

“That’s why I don’t feel bad for her. That’s why I don’t join in the Kelcey Wallace pity party. If she was REALLY so disgusted by all of this then she has an option. It’s not the option she wants to take admittedly, it’s not an option ANYONE would WANT to take, but she has it. It’s walking away. If she really can’t EVER stand up to him, if she really can’t even ARGUE with him, if she has to stand there and not even SPEAK unless he tells her to then she has an option and it’s called SHOWING INTEGRITY! But she chooses not to do that. THAT’S why I don’t feel for her. She’s making a CHOICE. And right now that CHOICE is leading to this man she hates going out of his way to make everything EASY for her. Right now that CHOICE almost saw me spend Saturday night in the HOSPITAL. And yah, I blame Silas for that. Yah, I blame Angelica Jones. Yah, I blame Kraven Wallace. I blame Brittany Lohan and Harmony Fisher. But Kelcey? You’re just as guilty as the rest of them. You stand by and you do NOTHING and you claim it’s because you ‘can’t’, but you could. You want the world to think you’re a victim, but every week you BENEFIT from the evil bullshit that he does. And you can stand there this week and you can tell me that none of this is your fault, you can promise me that you don’t want it to be this way, but you’re still the one BENEFITTING from all of this,” she says, shaking her head slowly in disgust. “But you’re helpless, right? You’re just a victim in all of it. This week get in to the ring with me and even after what your goons did to me I’ll show you that I don’t let ANYONE make ME a victim!”

“Despite how I feel about her though, despite how I feel about the CHOICES she’s made, despite how disgusted I am that she’s happy to benefit from the actions of the army that she’s surrounded with, I can’t deny that when she is in that ring alone she’s one of the best I’ve ever seen. She won the Elimination Chamber. She overcame the monster. She conquered Taking Hold of the Flame. She’s one of the BEST in this company, but in all the time she’s been here she’s never gone one on one with me. This week we step in to the ring for the very first time. This week I climb in to that ring ready to fight the world off if I have to. And this week I intend to show her that she may be willing to stand by and do nothing and claim that she’s just an innocent victim in all of it, but standing by and doing nothing when you could act, standing by and allowing people to get hurt in YOUR NAME makes you just as bad as those committing the crime. This week I’m going to show her that I don’t stand idly by. This week I’m going to fight. I’m going to fight her, I’m going to fight her new ‘associate’, I’m going to fight all of Silas World if I have to. I’m going to fight, I’m going to scratch, I’m going to claw, and if you bitches think you can take me down then I’m going to take all of you with me,” she promises. “That’s not just a threat either. These aren’t the words of a desperate little girl whose days are numbered; these are the words of a determined woman who’s going to show you all just how much fight she has in her.”

She takes a long breath before pausing for several seconds, seemingly collecting her thoughts. “I’ve come a long, long way since the last time I stood in Mexico City. My career has gone down paths I never dreamed it would, and I’ve accomplished things I could only dream about two years ago. But the more things change, the more they stay the same. I had everything to prove two years ago, I have just as much to prove tomorrow night. Shaun Cruze thinks that I can’t trust my partner. Maybe he’s right. But Jake and I need each other right now. Tell me Shaun, how long does Kelcey Wallace need you? You really think the Rise to Greatness main event is all about you and Kelcey in the eyes of your new business partner? No. It’s all about Kelcey. So take a long look at these bandages, because it won’t be long before you’ve got just as many wrapped around you at their hands. And it won’t be long before I’m the one trying to put just as many around you as you put around me on Saturday! I may not be able to trust Jake completely but I trust him enough to stand with me this week, I trust him enough to stand with me when this week we fight the good fight against the impossible odds. And I know how this week is going to end. This isn’t just about a tag team match; this is about your chance to take us out, right? So do it. The two of you, bring everyone you’ve got. Bring Ivy. Bring Silas. Bring Silas World. Have them surround the ring. If you’re going to try and end us this week, bring it on because when you do you’re going to find out we don’t go down so easy. This week Jake and I stand together, and we fight for a common goal: survival. So bring baby girl, bring baby face, bring baby doll, and most importantly Silas bring Shaun, your new baby BITCH. Bring them all and try and take us out, because this week isn’t going to end in another massacre. This week we STAND TALL, and Silas? When we beat your baby girl and disrupt all your plans, do something for me, ok? BE TOTALLY JEALOUS!”

 She kisses the camera before we cut to black and the video ends, with the replay button flashing up on the screen.
