*on camera, start vlog, promo part one*
As Harper starts her Vlog we can see that the twenty year old wrestler was clearly not prepared as she usually is.
”So, I know this isn’t exactly the first time I’ve made my voice heard about not being booked for an SCW Show, especially a big one like, say, the first Supercard of the New Year.” Harper commented with a sigh as she ran a hand through her hair. ”And it won’t be the last, look, I’m an extremely competitive person, okay? I thrive when I wrestle because of that fact! I was competitive when I was doing High School Wrestling and I was competitive when I worked my ass off to earn my Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do!
You deny a person like a chance to compete? They get frustrated, simple, I showed that when I found my bookings drying up in the run up to High Stakes and, well, we all know what happened there! And as if my and Cassie getting pinned at the same time at Climax Control wasn’t bad enough? I initially didn’t make the cut for Inception!” Harper sighs in frustration. ”Initially being the key word, because I just learned two things: one: Seleana Zdunich literally just renewed her contract with SCW, two: they felt like squeezing her in on the Inception VI card and needed an opponent and well, I have a match now!”
Harper grins broadly as she brushes some hair over her shoulder.
”And in a way? It’s kinda funny, my matches against Seleana to date have all been multi-woman matches: Queen for a Day Ladder Match? Faced her in that, when I had that mini feud with Bobbie? Faced her and Crystal in a tag team match with Bobbie, and off course the High Stakes Rumble Match which was Seleana’s last appearance until now.” Harper added as she leaned on the desk. ”And now we’re finally facing off one on one Sel and on paper? This is an easy win for you, right?
Since when was anything in wrestling so set in stone?” Harper commented as she shook her head. ”Yeah, it’s a former World and Bombshell Roulette Champion going up against someone who just entered her second year as a wrestler but I said it once and I’ll say it again: it’s now been six years since Seleana held a title in SCW and her stock has fallen pretty far since then, while me? Recent setbacks aside? I’ve been on the rise and while I will be getting my first win of the year at Inception VI? Better late than never, right?”

The scene opens as Harper is entering Josh’s gym and the manager of both Young Justice members is waiting for her, Harper clearly has a lot on her hand as she sits on the Ring Apron.
”What a week!” Harper grunted as she leaned her head back against the ring ropes. ”First we had the double pin in the tag team match, which shouldn’t have counted because, well, it wasn’t a Tornado Tag Match, then I find out that I didn’t make the card for Inception VI and now I have!”
“I’m surprised that you’re complaining about this.” Josh commented as he shook his head and Harper let out a deep breath. “You’re one of the most competitive young women I’ve ever met Harper, less we forget the whole mess that led to your match against Bobbie at High Stakes!”
”I don’t think I’m likely to forget about that match for a while! Definitely one of the more unique matches I’ve seen or been in and it wasn’t even a Roulette Rules Match!” Harper responded as she shook her head. ”The fact that Bobbie lost the match and had to wear the baby costume makes it all the more ironic considering the match was her idea! Anyway, who said I was complaining? I was just commenting om how much of a roller coaster this week has been and we’re only on Tuesday!”
“True enough.” Josh nodded in agreement as he leaned against the ring ropes. “I’m half expecting Brooke and Logan to release a sex tape at this rate.”
”Brooke I wouldn’t mind, that woman may be a bitch but even I have to admit that she’s fucking gorgeous, Logan though?” Harper asked before shuddering involuntarily. ”Give me that mental image again and I might seriously consider firing you as my manager!”
“Fair enough, and besides, I know your not here to talk about that.” Josh responded with a nod and Harper grinned. “It’s the match against Seleana isn’t it? Cassie told me about it over text right before you arrived.”
”Where is Cass anyway? I would’ve thought she’d be here preparing for her match with Crystal.” Harper asked as she looked around for her Aussie friend but didn’t see her. ”So what’s up?”
“Cassie is finally moving back to Vegas, she flat out told me that she was sick of the commute from Reno and there’s nothing left for her there anyway.” Josh explained and Harper nodded as she got the idea. “I’ll be helping her with the move tomorrow, I would’ve thought the fine for slapping guy would hinder that but she still has money left over apparently.”
”And now I’m wondering where she got the money from.” Harper admitted as she ran a hand through her hair. ”But yeah, I’m here to train for the match with Seleana, and no, the fact that Cassie’s facing her wife isn’t lost on me, though considering she just renewed her contract with SCW it’s probably just a coincidence.”
“Sounds like negotiations took longer than either Seleana or the bosses thought they would, it would explain why she missed the first two shows of the year and the Christmas Special.” Josh reasoned with a shrug and Harper nodded in agreement. “And look, I know it’s been a while since Seleana last held gold in Sin City but she’s still a lot more experienced than you and a former champion.”
”And how many times have I faced and defeated former champions in SCW?” Harper asked as she folded her arms. ”And the experience thing? I’m turning twenty one in September and I’m in my second year as a wrestler, only ones less experienced than me right now are Brooke and Logan and they literally graduated right after High Stakes!”
“True, and I think Logan’s a couple of years older than you, too.” Josh nodded as he realized that Harper had a point. “Anyway, you came here to train, let’s not waste any more time.”
”Was waiting for you to say that.” Harper responded with a grin before she rolled into the ring to start her training.

We cut to Harper inside the ring at Josh’s Gym where she stands with her arms crossed.
”This match may have been added to the card at the last minute but I’m still treating this like any other match.” Harper commented as she brushed some hair over her shoulder. ”Did I think that tweet I made after the initial card was put out would result in anything? I mean, just look at the Violent Conduct card from last year, made a similar tweet after missing out on it but got nothing off it! But here I am, promoting a match against Seleana.
Why? I mean, this is our first singles match since, as I pointed out last time, all our other matches have been multi-women matches.” Harper commented before shrugging. ”It all comes down to happenstance really, Seleana just renewed her contrat, they felt the need to add her to the card, I was making noise about missing out, win-win, am I right?”
Harper shook her head.
”Not in the literal sense because unless it ends in a draw? Either I pick up my first win since High Stakes, not to mention of the year, or Seleana starts off her new contract with a W.” Harper stated as she folds her arms. ”And the way I see it Seleana? I’m not walking out of my first Supercard of the year without getting a win, you’ve seen what I can do in multi-woman matches but one on one?
Well, to put it bluntly? That’s where I’m the most focussed.” Harper commented as she brushed some hair over her shoulder. ”Only one opponent and the ref to worry about, easy enough right? But there’s still the fact that you’re a former World Bombshell Champion and a former Bombshell Roulette Champion, and while I could harp on about how I was fourteen when you held those titles? How about I focus on something else? Like the legacy of those reigns?”
Yep.
”The World Bombshell Title Reign, won it from Alicia in the middle of your war with Christian Underwood with Crystal’s help, reign didn’t even last two weeks before Alicia won it back, the Bombshell Roulette Title Reign? Practically gift wrapped for you after Crystal won the Queen for a Day Ladder Match, held it for a three month reign that barely anyone remembers and then lost it to Johanna Krieger.” Harper added as she smirked a bit. ”And let’s be honest, that’s the most anyone’s ever thought about Krieger in years!
But do you see my point Seleana? You owe all your success to your wife in the most literal way possible and without her? You’ve floundered in the division.” Harper added before she leaned against the ring ropes. ”At least when I eventually win my first title in SCW I’ll know that I won it without anyone’s help because that’s the kind of competitor that I am! Can you say the same?”

Hero Academy, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 22nd of January 2025, 11:00am
It’s the late morning at Hero Academy and Harper jas just showed up for a day of training with Zara.
”Sorry I’m late Z.” Harper apologized to the taller woman who greeted her with a fist bump. ”Forgot to set the alarm and I slept in as a result.”
“No worries, there’s still a ring for us to use.” Zara responded as she motioned to the vacant ring. “Go get changed and I’ll wait for you in the ring.”
”Sounds good, and thanks.” Harper nodded in response to before she headed to the women’s changing room to get changed into her wrestling gear, once she was ready to train Harper joined Zara in the ring, as they warmed up for the sparring session Harper spoke up. ”So what’s been happening here since I was training at Josh’s Gym?”
“Lots of talk about that tag match and none of it good, pretty much everyone agrees that the ref did you and Cass dirty by allowing that double pin to happen.” Zara responded as she shook her head and Harper nodded in agreement. “Almost like Aleesha had another ref if her back pocket.”
”Let’s not start off my morning with conspiracy theories, I have enough headaches from the stress sleeping in caused me.” Harper grunted as she continued her warm up. ”Besides, accusing an SCW Ref of corruption without proof is a surefire way to get in trouble with the bosses, at least with Guy he’s being so blatant about his biases that it’s not even funny!”
“True enough on both counts.” Zara nodded in agreement she folded her arms. “At least you’ve got a match with Seleana out of the deal.”
”Yeah, finally a one on one match with the blonde half of the Zdunichs after mostly wrestling her in matches with more than one opponent!” Harper commented as she shook her head. ”While Cass is dealing with her wife.”
“Talk about a family affair, at least in the metaphorical sense with Cassie.” Zara responded with a grin before both women finished their warm up. “Anyway, ready when you are Harp.”
”Let’s do it!” Harper responded with a grin before the two women started sparring.

*on camera, start vlog, final promo part*
We cut to Harper as she gets ready to cut her final vlog promo of the week.
”Wasn’t expecting to film vlogs this week or reasons I’ve already brought up twice but yeah, here I am!” Harper commented as she leaned forward on the desk. ”And this match with Seleana might be a bit different from my two High Stakes Matches, I mean literally the only thing those matches have in common with this is that Seleana’s my opponent, I’m not treating them any differently.
Why? Because I view each match I compete in as a chance to prove myself and this match is no different Seleana!” Harper added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”That’s what I get so upset when the bosses can’t be bothered to book me after all the hard work I’ve put in since signing! How can I prove myself when they don’t even book me? And when I do make my voice heard they call me entitled or a cry-baby, because god forbid a rookie wrestler has enough backbone to stand up herself!”
Harper lets out an annoyed grunt.
”And yet I’m the one who leaves idiots like that shut up when I put on banger after banger when I am booked! And considering I’m the youngest active wrestler on the roster? What does that say about certain women who became complacent?” Harper asked with a frown on her face. ”Who knows Seleana? Maybe the contract negotiations lit a fire under your ass and your back to the old you but either way?
For a while you were complacent with your spot on the card, so again, I ask.” Harper said as she tilts her head a bit. ”Aside from the renewed contract, has anything really changed Seleana?”
It’s that simple.
”Gues we’ll find out when we clash in our last minute match at Inception VI, won’t we?” Harper asked as she grins a bit. ”Personally? I like my chances in this match but we’ll see how it goes, won’t we? A lot can happen in two weeks, maybe you’ll rediscover that fire you once had? Or maybe you’ll lose in your first match back and I’ll get the win? Either way, I’m looking forward to this!”
And with that Harer decided to wrap things up.
”Was I expecting to get added to the show at the last moment? No, am I going to make the most of this opportunity against you Seleana? Yes!” Harper stated with a grin as she flashed the devil horns. ”And once I do get this win Seleana? Trust me, it’ll just be the beginning of my year, I don’t know what 2025 will bring for me as a Professional Wrestler but there is one thing I know for certain.
I sure as hell am not going to let a bullshit double pin loss that never should’ve happened because for some reason, the ref couldn’t be bothered to do their job and make sure the legal person was being pinned let me down!” Harper added with a frown as she shook her head. ”Yeah, you can add that joke of a tag team match to the list of match results that still make me mad and Bella can go to hell for going along with it! But Seleana? You are the only who’s going to help me get back on track because the world needs a new hero and her name is the “Slaytanic Avenger” Harper Mason!”
Harper turned off her camera as the scene fades.
