Harpin’ On With Harper, Backstage at Climax Control 432, Monaco

*on camera, start vlog, promo part one*

Three weeks ago Harper did what many thought would never happen, she dethroned Victoria Lyons and won the Bombshell Roulette Championship from her on the cruise! But with her first challenger Alicia Lukas lurking on the horizon she finds herself lost in thought as she films her first promo for the upcoming Clash of the Champions match in Mykonos, Greece.

”It’s been what? Three weeks since I defied everyone’s expectations? Twenty one days since I ended the tyranny of Queen Victoria over the Bombshell Roulette Division? And yet, it still doesn’t feel real.” Harper stated as she looked at her Bombshell Roulette Championship which was currently sitting on her lap while she sat on a crate. ”Two long years, many, many, many attempts and heartbreaks later? I finally have my first championship belt in SCW.

Off course, the question that lingers on every new champion’s mind when they win it is this: who is up first?”
Harper added as she rested the title over her shoulder. ”First challenger? First opponent since willing the gold, hell, even your first interviewer as champion, those thoughts have a way of sneaking up on you no matter how long you’ve been in the game! Now, at the start of the cycle Alicia Lukas won the right to challenge me at Violent Conduct, but that’s not the match I’m talking about.”

Harper added as she stood up, holding her title proudly.

”Believe me, I’ll get to the rematch with Alicia soon, hell I gave you guys a preview of some of my talking points for her earlier, but next week in Mykonos? I’m facing someone else who shocked the SCW Universe this year.” Harper states as she folds her arms. ”Just for completely different reasons, many had written off Mercedes Vargas as a spent force who was basically trotted out whenever the bosses needed a challenger for one of the Bombshell Division’s titles and pretty much everyone expects her to fail.

Except when it came to Into the Void in Paris back in May when Mercedes won the Bombshell Internet Championship from Bella Madison.”
Harper states as she brushes some hair over her shoulder. ”Since then? She’s been aligned with Crystal Caldwell in her latest search for relevance and she even lost the title to Lillith Locke at Summer XXXTreme.”

Harper shakes her head.

”The fact that this match is being advertised as  Clash of the Champions match should tell you everything: it didn’t take Mercedes long to win the title back with Crystal’s help! Now she and Lilith are set to face off in a Falls Count Anywhere Match for the title at Violent Conduct but before that?” Harper smirks as she pats her title. ”We’re dusting off our old rivalry from my first few months as an SCW Bombshell.

What’s the old saying Mercy?”
Harper asked before immediately answering. ”Harper beat me once? Shame on you, Harper beat me twice? Shame on me, Harper beat me three times? Shame on Mercedes and her delusions of relevancy!”

Harper’s Hotel Room, Mykonos, Greece
Wednesday the 13th of August 2025, 16:00pm

Harper was now in Greece and while she had been enjoying her time in Mykonos her looming first match as champion is weighing on her mind, especially knowing that the woman who brought her into SCW in the first place was going to be in attendance.

”So Wrestleleague finally cleared you and Josh to show up for SCW while I’m the Bombshell Roulette Champion right as I’m about to have my first match s champion.” Harper commented as she ran a hand through her hair and Jessie nodded on the other end of the video call. ”You think they were waiting for that match to be booked or something?”

”After all I’m seen in the seventeen odd years that I’ve been in this business? I’m not really sure what to think.” Jessie responded as she shook her head and Harper nodded as she got the idea. ”And you’re facing Mercedes for the first time since December 2 Dismember.”

”Just to check but you don’t have any surprise pregnancies this time around, right?” Harper asked and while it was a rather dark joke as Jessie had collapsed during a training session for the previous match between Harper and Mercedes and that was how Jessie’s pregnancy had been discovered? They were still able to laugh about  it. ”I gotta check Jess, that was one of the scariest moments of my life!”

”I know, I know, and trust me, it wasn’t any less scary on my end.” Jessie admitted as she shook her head. ”Look, I could take a pregnancy test if it makes you feel any better Harper but me and Shane haven’t had sex since I gave birth to April last year and I don’t sleep around as much as I did in my younger years, trust me, we’re good on that front!”

”That’s a relief.” Harper commented before shaking her head. ”Though pregnancy tests aren’t always accurate, false positives can still happen.”

”True enough, but trust me, the only way there’s going to be another Salco kid in the world is if Shane was cheating on me.” Jessie responded as she shook her head and Harper nodded. ”And if that was the case? I may or may not bury him under the Home Gym.”

”Classic lawyer response right there! Guess being a mom didn’t loosen your temper that much.” Harper joked and Jessie just grinned. ”Anyway, something seems to have lit a fire under Mercedes’s ass this year because she’s not only won the Bombshell Internet Title but she’s won it twice! Though the second time around was with help from Crystal.”

”Two of my least favourite people on the SCW Roster joining forces, if I were still on the roster as a Bombshell my blood pleasure would be through the fucking roof.” Jessie grunted as she shook her head. ”Look, fire under her ass or not? Mercedes is still the same old bitch she always was, tainted title wins will not change that! Be wary of Crystal and basically worry about out wrestling her.”

”Both of which are a lot easier said than done.” Harper sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. ”So what’s the plan for Sunday? I know Wrestleleague’s show is at Dodge City, Kansas.”

”Me and Josh will be catching a connecting flight to Mykonos first thing Sunday Morning with a layover in Madrid.” Jessie explained and Harper nodded as she got the idea. ”We’ll meet you and Cass at the hotel, just bear in mind that we’ll be sore and tired from our respective matches.”

”I get it, don’t worry, and hay, the tenth year anniversary of your wedding to Shane has just gone, maybe this will be an anniversary gift of some kind.” Harper commented and Jessie groaned. ”Bones aching because you just remembered that it’s been ten years since you got married?”

”Yep! And it still lasted longer than a lot of marriages in this sport!” Jessie responded with a slight laugh. ”See you Sunday Harp.” Jessie added before hanging up.

*on camera, start vlog, promo part two*

We cut to Harper’s hotel room again, this time for her second vlog about the match against Mercedes.

”It’s kinda funny in a way, ain’t it? My first SCW Supercard Cycle as a champion and it’s on a tour themed around partying, yet I’ve never been that much of a party girl!” Harper commented with a slight laugh as she propped the Bombshell Roulette Championship on her computer desk right in view of the laptop’s webcam. ”While my friends were out partying, I was studying, while me friends were off getting knocked up or drunk or both, I was training to be the best athlete I can be.

They called me a loser yet I’m the one traveling the world with SCW while they are stuck at a McDonalds, funny huh?”
Harper added before shaking her head. ”Just to be clear on something? I mean absolutely no disrespect to Fast Food Workers when I say that people have to make money somehow, but at the same time? I’m here because I had my priorities straight growing up, and trust me Mercedes, this Sunday? I will have my priorities straight heading into our match!”

Harper stated as she brushed some hair over her shoulder.

”For example? As far as Crystal is concerned? Either the ref sends her packing or I will, you’re not about to screw me the same way you screwed Lilith two weeks ago!” Harper stated as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”And on that note Mercedes? I don’t know if you were paying attention to my little spat with Victoria over the past few months but if you have? You’d know one card hold truth about me.

I hold one hell of a grudge!”
Harper stated as she glared at the camera. ”I never let go of the fact that Victoria used her Queen for a Day Powers to book me in a handicap match against Juliana DiMaria and Alexandra Callaway and that had the domino effect that led to me holding this title after taking it from her.” Harper said as she held the title up to the camera. ”And that was for something that didn’t involve her getting physical with me, you? Did you really think I forgot?”

Nope.

”December 2 Dismember V, 2023, I’ll be shocked if you don’t remember that show considering you’re practically an encyclopaedia or SCW knowledge Mercedes but then again for everything you’ve gotten right about SCW History you’ve gotten at least ten things wrong!” Harper added as she folded her arms. ”But to make a long story short? You decided to attack me and Jessie with kendo sticks at the first Climax Control after that year’s High Stakes, why? Well, I guess a vindictive old bitch can hold a grudge as well.

I mean, who cares if you got yourself disqualified in our first match, am I right?”
Harper asked sarcastically as she ran a hand through her hair. ”That off course led to the No DQ Match between us at that show and while I won that match? Old wounds don’t heal that easily Mercedes, and between you, Crystal, and Alicia lurking in the wings? I guess they’ll be old foes about in this match!”

Local café, Mykonos, Greece
Thursday the 14th of August 2025, 12:00pm

With Jessie and Josh in America training for their Wrestleleague Matches this week Harper and Cassie have been left to their own devices, today they were enjoying lunch at a local café.

”Man, I haven’t had Greek food since SCW Toured Greece in 2022.” Cassie commented as she leaned back in her chair and Harper grinned. ”And that was three years ago.”

”What about Makayla?” Harper pointed out and Cassie nodded. ”She’s Greek Australian, married to your half-sister and went to culinary.”

”Yeah but Makayla mostly cooks American style food those days, still amazing but not really Greek, plus I haven’t really spoken with her or Krystal since my SCW Career got into full swing.” Cassie responded as she shook her head. ”Pretty sure Krystal still has some resentment over how her own SCW Career ended.”

”I’m sure she’ll come around eventually.” Harper assured her and Cassie nodded. ”So, how’s the leg holding up?”

”Still sore but considering I just had two back to back matches against former World Bombshell Champs? It could be a lot worse.” Cassie responded as she looked at her bad leg. And ‘m grateful to have my first week off of the cycle, give me time to properly rest thing thing.”

”Don’t jinx it!” Harper teased before a waitress came over to take their plates. ”They’ll probably find an excuse to book you for next week’s show knowing your luck.”

”And I’ll still take that if it means me bouncing back from two consecutive losses.” Cassie shrugged her shoulders before the conversation drifted off.

Harpin’ on with Harper, wondering through Mykonos Town, Greece
Thursday the 14th of August 2025, 14:00pm

*on camera, start vlog, final promo part*

As Harper prepares for her final promo for her rematch against Mercedes we see her wondering around Mykonos Town.

”SCW sure picked a beautiful location for the Ladies Night show, didn’t they?” Harper asked as she turned her phone camera around to show the surrounding area. ”Easily one of the pretties places I’ve visited as an SCW Wrestler though I suspect that’ll change in the coming years as SCW takes me to more exotic locales.

Such a pretty place, ironic considering my match against Mercedes will be anything but pretty!”
Harper added as she brushed some hair over her shoulder. ”And setting aside the age difference between us Mercedes? We’ve had similar years, haven’t we Mercedes?”

Harper said as she brushed some hair over her shoulder.

”Meaning? We both shocked everyone by scoring a title win that we weren’t supposed too.” Harper added as she patted the Bombshell Roulette Title perched on her shoulder. ”Off course he difference is? You had to win it back through dishonest means after losing at Summer XXXTreme Mercedes, while me? I have only just won this belt and my first challenger is likely to challenge me at Violent Conduct!

Oh and? I don’t plan of losing this title in my first defence!”
Harper stated as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”What’s that Mercedes? Too soon? Funny, same can be said for your rematch with Lilith but you’re not complaining about that, right?”

It’s that simple.

”Then allow me to give you something to complain about as we have our little bash at the beach! And that something, of course, is me kicking you so hard that you think it’s a Mean Girls reunion and people take you seriously again.” Harper added with a scoff. ”When in fact? It’s been the opposite, you scored some fluke wins, “earned” a title twice and now think you’re hot hit again?”

And with that Harper decided to wrap things up.

”Unfortunately for you Mercedes? I’m your reality check in this situation! Because unlike you? I earned this title and took it off the longest reigning champion the division has seen in years, someone you wrestled once and decided that was enough.” Harper said as she looked at the title over her shoulder. ”And this Sunday? People will think I was the Bombshell Internet Champion and not you because while I put on a show worthy of that title’s prestige? You’ll be embarrassed because the world needs a new hero and she is the Bombshell Roulette Champion Harper Mason! See you in the ring!”

Harper turned off the camera as the scene fades.
