As Harper starts her first Vlog of the New Year the twenty year old wrestler has a lot on her mind as she prepares for her first match of the year.
”Well, I can at least say that 2024 ended just as it started, with me tasting defeat in the opening match, though I guess I can take solace in the fact that it was to Cassie and she’s now challenging Aleesha in the first Internet Title Match of the year as a result, but where does that leave me?” Harper asked with a sigh as she leans back. ”Where else but as one of the three women vying for a shot at Victoria Lyons at Inception VI in a few weeks’ time! I guess I can consider this one hell of a consolation because if me and Cassie win we’ll enter the first PPPV of the year as competitors in title matches.
But I have to look at who I’m facing as well, as I’m taking on two women that I have history with in order to claim the third slot in that match! Alicia Lukas and Bea Barnhart are all that stand in the way of me and that title and I suppose the following reference is relevant: one of these things is not like the other!”
Feel free to take a guess.
”I’m not even talking about the fact that I’m the only woman in this match who hasn’t held a title in SCW, Alicia’s history in the Bombshell Division is well documented and Bea Barnhart held the Mixed Tag Team Titles for a cup of tea! No, I’m talking about the fact that out of me and Bea? Alicia’s the only one who’s never competed in the Roulette Division before, and yet here she is, apparently with her sights set on becoming a Grand Slam Champion.
Not if I can help it, and I’m not about to let Bea Barnhart pull one over on me either, my New Year’s Resolution for 2025 was to basically do everything I failed to do in 2024, you want to know what’s at the top of that list? Win my first title in SCW!”
Harper adds as she flips from hair over her shoulder.
”And just so we’re clear? I don’t care if it happens at the first, third, sixth or hell, last PPV of the year, I’ll wait all year if I have to just as long as I can fulfil that promise to myself!” Harper added before shaking her head. ”But at the same time? sooner that I win my first title in SCW, the better! And hey, this will be my first match of the New Year full stop so can you think of a better way to kick off the New Year?
No? I didn’t think so!”

Josh’s Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 6th of January 2025, 13:00pm
After a relaxing Christmas Break we find Harper getting some reps in at Josh’s gym as she prepares for this Sunday’s Triple Threat Match.
”Second year in a row where I’ve found myself competing on the opening show of the year.” Harper commented to Josh as she did some kicks into the air as a warm up. ”Only thing missing is me competing in the opening match instead of Bobbie and Bella and history will repeat itself completely.”
“Things do have a way of coming full circle.” Josh nodded in agreement as he watched his charge warm up. “Zara should be here at any moment, any drills you want to run through solo?”
”Not that I can think off.” Harper responded as she shrugged her shoulders and Josh nodded. ”Besides, wrestling is a sport where it takes two to tango! Or three in the case of my match on Sunday.”
“True enough, and you’ve wrestled both Alicia and Bea before.” Josh nodded in response as he folded his arms. “With mixed results.”
”Can we not talk about my first match against Bea? I ranted enough about that when I got my return match against her last October!” Harper groaned as she rolled her eyes and Josh nodded sympathetically. In response. ”And while I lost to Alicia at Summer XXXTreme I can at least say that that the match was up for Match of the Year at High Stakes! Even if it lost out to the World Heavyweight Title Match!”
“True, and if you keep working hard you’ll be up for a lot more some this year’s High Stakes.” Josh assured me and Harper grinned in response right as Zara showed up. “And that starts here, good afternoon Zara.”
“Hey, sorry I’m late, traffic was murder.” Zara apologized as she settled in. “Just give me a sec to get changed into my gear and I’ll be all set Harp.”
”Go ahead.” Harper responded before Zara went into the women’s changing room and Harper backed up to the ring ropes and leaned against them while waiting for her sparring partner to get changed. ”Think Cass is ready for Aleesha?”
“I’ve trained Cass as well as I can for the match so far, she’ll be ready.” Josh assured Harper before Zara emerged from the changing room ready for action. “And if all goes well? You’ll both be in championship matches at Inception VI.”
”Yeah, me against Bobbie and Victoria and Cassie against whoever serves as her first challenger.” Harper nodded in agreement as she glanced over at Zara. ”Provided we win on Sunday off course! Anyway, Zara you ready to go?”
“As always.” Zara responded with a grin before she rolled into the ring and she started sparring with Harper.

As Harper starts he second vlog for her match the twenty year old wrestler is seen leaning against the ring ropes.
”Off course, I can’t talk about this match against Bea and Alicia without bringing up my history with both women who oppose me on Sunday, one’s a respected veteran with a glamorous resume, the other’s Bea Barnhart!” Harper added as she let out a deep breath. ”Off course there’s other things too it! Bea dealt me my first loss in SCW and I avenged that tainted win last October and Alicia literally came out of retirement to kick my ass!
I’m still not sure if the last should be taken as a compliment or not but my point still stands, it’s not like me, Bea and Alicia are strangers to each other but I do have one thing on my mind regarding Alicia.”
Which is?
”Redemption off course, Alicia our first match at Summer XXXTreme may have been a Match of the Year Candidate but you still beat me on that night, will things be any different this Sunday? Don’t bother answering that Alicia because I already know you’re your answer is: fuck no! Am I right? Off course I am! Everyone from Wolfslair is so fucking arrogant that it’s a miracle that anyone puts up with you guys!” Harper added before pausing. ”Then again, that doesn’t explain the fact that Miles Kasey and Bella Madison trained with you guys but I guess that explains why Miles betrayed Wolfslair.
Oh, I’m sorry, was that still too soon? I don’t care.”
As for Bea?
”And then we have Bea Barnhart, the Bombshell Division’s Punching Bag! Who somehow keeps getting opportunities like this.” Harper commented as she rolled her eyes. ”Then again her husband Bill is just as bad but at least he’s held the Men’s Roulette Title! What has Bea Barnhart accomplished again? Oh right, being the one woman in America who spreads more bullshit than politicians and anti-vaxxers combined and held the Mixed Tag Team Titles for what? Two weeks?
Thank god Alicia did the world a favour by booking them against Austin James Mercer and Tempest, that’s all I’m saying! All that said Bea? Sooner or later the bosses will get tired of you repeatedly squandering opportunities like this but until that day comes? I guess we’ll cpntinue to live in Bea’s delusion where she thinks she’s a lot better than she is!”
But I digress.
”Then again there’s probably thousands of men and women in the wrestling business that fit that description and that’s just the wrestlers!” Harper commented as she rolled her eyes. ”Feel free to guess which non wrestling personalities I’m talking about when I say that! Anyway, me. Alicia and Bea all have the same goal, to kick off 2025 with a huge win! But compared to the two old farts?
I’m entering this match with nothing to lose and everything to gain from earning a title shot! For Alicia? It’d just be another notch in her belt for her legendary wrestling career, Bea is just after yet another title shot, me? I want my first title in SCW and those old farts won’t get in my way!”

Jessie’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Friday the 10th of January 2025, 11:00am
It’s two days before the first match of the year for Harper and she is relaxing at Jessie’s home with her older cousin.
”So this Marisol has really pissed you off huh?” Harper commented as she sat opposite Jessie and Jessie shook her head. ”I saw that tweet where you apologized for your past misdeeds while dealing with the bosses.”
”Harper, trust me, the last time an opponent pissed me off that much was when me and Any were warring with The Mean Girls!” Jessie responded with an exasperated sigh. ”Only thing that’ll make it right is her elimination from Wrestleleague and I don’t want my blood pleasure to rise so let’s move on! I’ve heard from Josh about your upcoming Triple Threat.”
”The one against Alicia and Bea? I should’ve known he’d tell you about that match.” Harper commented as she shook her head. ”Any tips for dealing with them?”
”If there is a chink in Alicia’s armour it’s her arrogance, then again that goes for Wolfslair in general.” Jessie responded with a frown as she leaned back in her chair. ”As for Bea? Do I even need to say anything about that walking punchline?”
”Guess not, but it was worth asking at least.” Harper commented as she folded her arms. ”Off course we both know the big factor in not just this mastch but the men’s Triple Threat as well.”
”The Roulette Wheel, the thing is Harp? I’ve held the Bombshell Roulette Title five times over the course of my SCW Career, you never get used to the feeling you get while waiting for the damn wheel to stop.” Jessie responded with a frown as she shook her head. ”Sometimes you get something that plays to your strengths, other times you have to adapt to whatever the wheel has thrown at you, there isn’t really any in between when it comes to these matches.”
”The two Roulette Rules Matches I’ve been in to date have been a Ladder Match and a Last Bombshell Standing Match, trust me, I know it all too well.” Harper sighed before she stood up. ”Speaking off, I think it’s time we had those reps downstairs in the home gym.”
”I was wondering when you were planning to bring that up.” Jessie nodded in agreement before she stood up. ”Let’s go.”
”Right behind you.” Harper responded before she followed Jessie downstairs and into the home gym.

*on camera, start vlog, final promo part*
As Harper gets ready to film the last part of her vlogs for the match we can see that she has a lot on her mind heading not it.
”For Alicia, this is just a super late attempt at achieving the Grand Slam, for Bea this is just the first of many underserved opportunities she’s probably going to get this year! But for me?” Harper asked as she folds her arms. ”It’s about the opportunity to finally stamp my mark in SCW Bombshell Division’s history books by winning my first title! That is why I can’t afford to lose this Triple Threat.
Make no mistake, Alicia’s accomplished a lot more than me and Bea may have blackmail on the bosses, because well let’s face it.” Harper adds as she rolls her eyes. ”How else is someone like her getting opportunities like this? But me? My goal has always remained the same since I arrived here in SCW, make my mark on the wrestling business.”
Yep.
”And I can’t make that mark if I don’t win titles, can’t I? I won three during my rookie year, I only hold one of those titles right now and that’s because the fed went under while I was still the champ and they let me keep the title but I digress.” Harper added as she brushed some hair over her shoulder. ”And I’ll be the first to admit that 2024 was a false start on that front, only had two title matches during that twelve month period and I lost both, you know how it went, but 2025?
2025 is going to be my year!” Harper started with a confident grin. ”I don’t care if it happens at Inception or further down the road, this will be the year where I enter my name in SCW’s history books as a champion! And the sooner I can make good on that promise? The better.”
It’s that simple.
”That is the main reason why the two old farts that stand in my way of the third slot in that title match won’t be in my way for much longer! I have more determination in my little finger to make that dream a reality than most of the women on this roster have in their entire bodies!” Harper added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”And trust me, Alicia and Bea? I know exactly what they are thinking heading into this Triple Threat.
Alicia will be all like “pft, Harper and Bea? They may as well have just announced me as the third challenger for Victoria and be done with it!” while Bea will be thinking “I wonder what lies I can spread about my opponents this week?” Harper added as she shook her head mockingly. ”You’d think two women who have been around as long as they have would know not to underestimate an opponent by now but it’s their loss and my gain!”
And with that Harper decided to wrap things up.
”And I can’t fucking wait to make them eat their words this Sunday at the first Climax Control of the New Year!” Harper added as she folded her arms. ”Alicia may have the cred and Bea might have the endless title shot cheat code enabled but I’ll bet good money that they don’t have the two things I have in abundance as I enter the new year.
Heart and determination!” Harper stated as she threw up the metal horns. ”Because the world needs a new hero and it’s time the old farts stood aside to let their younger counterparts through, starting with me, “The Slaytanic Avenger” Harper Mason! Alicia, Bea, I’ll see you in the ring and bring your walking sticks!”
Harper turned off the camera as the scene fades.
