Interview w/ Robin Roberts
ABC’s Good Morning America
4.12.19
PART 3
Wearing a beautiful silver dress and open toed heels, with her nails polished a naked color and long blonde hair lying over her right shoulder, the gorgeous “Heavenly Angel” Sienna Swann sits across from the legendary Robin Roberts inside her Hollywood Hills home, the SCW World Championship rests on the table separating the two in the middle. The Interview was prerecorded from April 8th but aired on the 12th. Robin, wearing black slacks, heels and a cream-colored blouse, smiles, asking more tough questions continuing from parts 1 and 2…
Robin: “Do you think Chris Cannon loves you in return or is this just an emotion you will have to deal with and get over?”
Sienna: “I know he does and that is why Kelcey needs to make the toughest decision of her life.”
Her eyes narrow some before Sienna smiles, Robin tilts her head, curious about her answer…
Robin: “How so? Why would she be making a tough decision when she is married to Chris Cannon? You said earlier that you’re not a homewrecker, the establishment of marriage is clearly important in this case especially if you are “For the People” and the message you want to send, the role model you wish to portray to others who are less fortunate. Why would anyone not see this as anything other than to a play on infidelity?”
Sienna: “Robin, there is where you and the rest of my critics are wrong. Take a look at what happened t Kennedy Street? Everyone villainized Chris for what he did when it was an accident. Was I a part of that?”
Robin: “You took advantage….”
Sienna: “No, I wrestled my match. I never asked ANYONE to come down to the ring and interfere. I have been quite honest with you here. I even admitted that Kennedy could have possibly beaten me on that particular night, but it was Kennedy who beat Kennedy. It was HER fault for turning her attention to something else. Robin, Chris Cannon is not the bad guy here and neither am I. Chris should be praised for the work he has done and the challenging road ahead he’s had to endure while being with his wife who is suffering from an illness.”
Robin: “So you’re saying that basically frees you from any responsibility you have toward this situation?”
Sienna: “No, what I am saying is, Kelcey should ask herself the simple question, does she really want to put Chris through these troubling times? Can she separate family from her husband, can she trust him enough in his decisions to get through this tough undertaking? I have learned that love isn’t always enough, there are layers. I don’t like being labeled as a homewrecker or a cheater. Yes, I have a history of it, but people change, and I would hope that what I’ve done so far with the community help exonerate me from my past.”
Sienna brushes her long hair back and smiles…..

IN THE EYES OF AN ANGEL
TRUST
Everyone was shocked and surprised a few weeks ago on Breakdown when Chris Cannon and Sienna Swann made their union official. Some thought it was a possibility, others couldn’t believe what they were seeing right in front of their faces. Somehow, some way, Sienna and Chris connected, the marriage, the union and the love that he has for his expecting wife seemed to become a thing of the past. The Street family was in shock, Jonathan Knots was not, and Kennedy did have her suspicions, yet she didn’t want to point any fingers. It was a hard pill to swallow and even though Sienna did reach out to Bree before the PPV and let her know what was going on, she didn’t delve into the full story because even Sienna at the time was a bit fuzzy, maybe he was just going through a moment of emptiness and sorrow, realizing later down the road just how much he loved his wife.
Some may think that Chris was just another boy toy for Sienna, that was furthest from the truth, this was the man she had been head over heels with for a long time and when she first tried to seduce him on New Year’s Eve, the night of Kelcey’s final match against Blake Mason, it had been a long road to get to this point….
And even Sienna didn’t see it coming.
After defeating Owen Cruze and defending the Interim Championship, knowing there was going to be an all out war with either Syren or whomever the SCW chose next to prove her worth, the Angel was ready for anything…..
The SCW was not.
Breakdown
Albuquerque, NM.
4.24.19
It was a night where Sienna Swann and Chris Cannon ended Breakdown in a shocker, where they came out and showed they are THE Power Couple of the SCW. They were not in action but what they did was make a huge impact on the show including ending the show with the kiss felt around the wrestling world. Sienna knew that Laura still had her reservations about Chris even if they were starting to get on the same page. She was also aware of the Truelove Twins and their like of her ex-boyfriend, Ikiro Yoshida. The gorgeous Angel sat outside on the balcony of their hotel suite. Looking over the city of Albuquerque and all the festivities. She wore a white silk nightie and robe, barefoot with her nails polished white and long blonde hair hanging down. Chris was shirtless, wearing shorts and looking at his phone as he approached her, coming from behind and embracing Sienna, kissing the beautiful South African on her neck….
She lets out a giggle, still wanting someone to pinch her….
Sienna: “What we did out there tonight, was magical.”
Chris: “It truly was love.”
Sienna: “Tell me this is real?”
Chris: “It’s real. Why are you questioning it?”
Sienna: “Because I know how strong and deep your love with Kelcey was. I struggled to get through to you so many times over and while your Birthday celebration was the beginning of something that I felt was special, the fact remains some are questioning us…..”
Chris: “London and Paris?”
Sienna: “They were fans of Ikiro, they will get over it.”
Chris: “Laura?”
Sienna: “She trusts me, while she may have her doubts, doesn’t matter, Laura knows what she’s doing. Don’t even say Jennifer, she will be nice to you and respectful because she is dating Christian.”
My eyes slowly floated toward his….
Chris: “Willow and Jason?”
Sienna: “Chances are they want a foursome.”
That drew a laugh from Chris that made me smile. No one was going to be a fan of our love story and I didn’t care. This was about us and no one else…..
Chris: “So what about Bree?”
That was going to be a tough cookie to crack. While Bree was being cordial at the PPV, Tabula Rasa, I knew deep down inside she hated Chris for what he did to her a few years ago, it was very traumatic for her and led to a war with Kelcey and I that found myself temporarily paralyzed thanks to Blake Mason. Every time I think about him, all I want to do is scratch his eyes out. One day I will but for now I will wait and live vicariously through Chris. I had to answer the question….
Sienna: “She’s one of my best friends, we went through a lot on top of Big Bear Mountain. She supports me, no matter how hard it may seem. You know she hated you.”
Chris: “I wasn’t a fan either.”
Sienna: “No, but she is good people. Trust takes time, for all of us.”
Chris: “Well now the secret is out in front of the world. I’m going to grab me a drink. Sparkling Cider?”
Sienna: “Yes please.”
As he leaves the balcony and goes into the suite, I can’t help but remember to the first conversation I had with Bree right before Tabula Rasa. She didn’t see it coming, I don’t think any of us did to be honest sweetie….
Tabula Rasa
Seattle, WA.
A Few Hours Before the Show
I didn’t know how to approach Bree; she was in her suite letting her nails dry and doing her hair. It was an important night for both of us, I had the world title match with Owen, she the Tag title match with Raynes against Redemption. I was wearing jeans, peep toe pumps and a black halter top, had to look stylish entering the arena. Yes, I was nervous and hesitant, entering her room as After Scott Burnside let me in, he nodded and pointed toward the vanity where Bree was…
Bree: “Hey babe!”
Sienna: “Hi.”
Bree: “Don’t sound like someone just stepped on your dog.”
Sienna: “Sorry. Do you have a minute?”
Bree: “Anytime for you. Just drying my nails, what’s going on. If I am a betting woman, it seems like you have a lot on your mind.”
Sienna: “I need to talk to you about something.”
She could see it was bothering me, turning around and patting the seat next to her. Slowly sitting down, I sighed a little, rubbing my thighs and curling my toes….
Bree: “Hey…. What is it? Nervous about tonight? You have this.”
Sienna: “Owen? No… no. I’m not worried about that. He’s a dangerous opponent but I can beat him. It’s this stuff with Chris, the World Title and Kennedy…. All the heat.”
Bree: “Kennedy? Blah, she’s a bitch. As for Chris, if it was an accident, who cares. I just don’t want you to think that he is in love with you or did this because he wants a relationship. That man is married to Kelcey Wallace and they are the poser children for a stable marriage.”
Sienna: “I slept with him the other night.”
Her eyes widened; I could tell that she was taken back by the revelation. Part of her wanted to punch me in the face, the other part was so frozen in shock, I don’t think it had fully registered what I had just told her….
Bree: “Y…. you…. Did what!?”
Sienna: “I made love to Chris Cannon.”
Bree: “No, Sienna, we make love to people we are with, you two screwed!”
Sienna: “Vulgar! Bree, I love him.”
Bree: “Oh sweet baby Jesus, you are a homewrecker, Sienna!”
Sienna: “I am not!”
Bree: “You just slept with a married man!”
Sienna: “Well, yes I did but Kelcey left him!”
Suddenly the room goes silent. Bree was again in a state of shock when she heard that Kelcey left Chris. She didn’t know how to answer that. I tried to calm the tension, make her understand but it was hard considering the history between the two…
Sienna: “Bree, Kelcey left him. He came over my house the other day and I was shocked, I didn’t know what to do. As I talked to him, I realized he was hurt, felt betrayed by the friends and family he thought had his back. No one gave him the benefit of the doubt and so I did what I thought was right and be myself, try to be supportive and thank him even though in the back of my mind I knew full well that I could be wrong and what he did was an accident and not something out of love.”
Bree: “I can’t believe I am hearing this….”
Sienna: “I know how much you dislike him for what he did. We are on the same boat when it came to the men, we love but I think Dom is awesome, Blake, you know how I feel about him. He’s out of the picture so it’s a lot easier for me to deal with it then I can imagine it is for you right now. I am begging you to give me the benefit of the doubt here.”
Bree: “How? How can we forget what he did to me? What about the things he has said and done to us? What about Kelcey? She is pregnant with his child, what like 7 months? What happens when that baby is born Sienna? What happens when those emotion surface and suddenly he realizes that the woman he truly loves is in the hospital with his kid that he wants to be with?”
She has a point, but I can’t think this way….
Sienna: “I need to have faith. Maybe it was a one-night affair, maybe it wasn’t because he wants me to set up a meeting between the two of you.”
Bree: “Really?”
Sienna: “Okay… I get it. I’m being very difficult right now.”
Bree: “Sienna, I am looking out for you, I don’t want you to get your hopes up only for him to leave you high and dry. Let me ask you something else. “For The People”? How are they going to react when this goes public? TMZ, the paparazzi are going to have a filed day with this story and then what? “For The People” goes right out the window.”
Sienna: “I thought about that, it’s a risk I need to be willing to take and I can find a way to make it work in my favor. All I am asking is to try and accept him. You don’t have to forgive or trust Chris right away, I would never expect you to do that. This is really important to me…. Please.
My eyes started to tear up, I was getting a bit emotional and hoping that Bree would understand. I lowered my head, almost in shame for asking her to try and talk to a man she has hated and given her anguish for a long time, much like myself with Blake. I felt her hand grabbing mine, looking up, our eyes met giving me a nod….
Bree: “This is how much I love you babe and the friendship we have. I’ll try, that is all I can promise.”
Sienna: “Thank you.”
We embraced in a hug; this was what I was most worried about. Our friendship was too tight to let a man get in our way; this at least gives me some sense of peace knowing there is a chance to work things out.

He brought me a glass of cider, turning around to face him, I smiled and toasted, sipping some. Thinking back to Bree, it was the first of many steps in this journey I was about to take with Chris even if most didn’t agree with it. I had fought hard to get my Superman….
And it was his own family and friends that did the work for me.
I never lost faith….
He kissed my neck, sending a chill down to my toes. I gently grabbed him by the neck as our lips and tongues connected, for in this moment….
I was lost in his kiss….
Making love well into the night after the world found out tonight and there are no more secrets.
SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
No matter how critical people were of Sienna Swann and her movement she called hashtag “For The People”, the fact remained, she was getting things done and being recognized for her work including the decision Laura Steinbeck made to allow anyone to try their hand in modeling at the Beauty Factory. A few weeks back, leading into Tabula Rasa, Laura was awarded the Keys to the City of Los Angeles, it was an important night for Laura and especially the Beauty Factory as everything Sienna had planned was starting to work, not to mention the situation with Chris. Sienna was not one to pry into anyone’s personal life, she wanted this night to be special and knew about Laura’s daughters. The Interim World Champion did not know though about her son and much as Sienna loved Laura, she felt like she needed to try and figure out what she could do to improve Laura’s relationship with her own daughters as Sienna cared about Laura like if she was a mother figure, a mentor that after everyone blackballed her when the scandal broke out in 2011, it was Laura the one person who stood by her side no matter what….
Sienna owed it to her especially seeing how Laura reacted when the daughters didn’t show up to the celebration and the special occasion. Laura drank heavily that night. Sienna took her home and put her to bed, she then proceeded to look up Laura’s history and saw that the Fashionista had a son who had committed suicide years ago. Even if things were going right with Sienna’s life, she finally has the man of her dreams, she was able to become the Interim World Champion and has become the darling of charity in her humanitarian efforts, her biggest concern was always Laura.
The Beauty Factory
Los Angeles, CA.
4.28.19
Laura Steinbeck was looking at modeling pictures from a certain woman, she had them hanging up in her office while a few gals stood outside waiting to talk to her, this was all part of the initiative that she had by inviting anyone to try out for the Beauty Factory. Laura was in her blue suit, open toed white heels with her nails polished a matte red. The Fashionista looked on in interest at the pics before she noticed Sienna approaching…
Laura: “Darling, I didn’t expect you here so early?”
Sienna: “I was running errands, who are the women outside the door? New recruits?”
Laura: “Hopefuls, you know how it is now sweetie with our little open audition that anyone can join. We have fat ones, ugly ones, stupid ones, we have all kinds of ones. I’m just following our little “For The People” pledge where any other time I would have security escort them out.”
Sienna: “Laura, we look like heroes right now. Even after everything that has been going on in SCW. The minute I started seeing Chris Cannon, I thought there would be a risk I was willing to take but neither one of us relented and we stood our ground. Now look at them all. They look like fools. They doubted our sincerity and we have opened our doors for the public. Do you know how much this means now to every single critic that uses beauty as a crutch and thinks that normal people do not get what they deserve?”
Laura: “It’s why I did it darling. I’ll be honest, I hated the idea as I have always believed this to be an exclusive club, but I will not go against it. While many still despise us, the proof is in the pudding.”
Sienna: “Imagine, a plus size model on the cover of an international magazine like Bazaar or even Vogue? Or maybe a woman or man with a handicap? Someone so ugly and grotesque that even beautified has appeal? We are giving these people hope and that is why they support us. I’ll go out there in a bit and take pictures, sign autographs, make them comfortable and show my appreciation.”
Laura understood and accepted my plan; it was a great idea though at times I could tell she was being forced into it. We can’t make an omelet without cracking some eggs, I knew she would see it my way. There were other things bothering her as well, since the Gala and Award dinner, she seemed a bit down, her daughters not coming took a toll on her. There was also Chris, much as Laura was trying to be supportive, she was still being very cautious and so was I. I was still pinching myself, was this really true? I wanted it to be….
Laura: “I know darling and they will eat out of your hands. I’m almost done here, I just need to figure out a way…..”
Sienna: “She will never sign with us, Laura. Not after what happened with Chris and Kelcey.”
Laura: “Never say never. Jennifer (Helms) has become more of a hassle than she is worth. She is gorgeous, the next face of beauty yet she doesn’t have what you do or even Willow, the Twins. She has this loyalty to her mother….”
Sienna: “I can’t blame her; I respect that bond.”
Laura: “Damn it Sienna, Regan Street is a pain in our ass. She is a ticking time bomb no matter who she is wrestling right now, this contract dispute with Jennifer I see going south and quickly, darling. I need a backup plan; they are going to come up with the money and I will be forced to let her go.”
Sienna: “Will you, Laura?”
She slowly turned to me and let out a sigh. It seemed like to me she accepted the inevitable and while that was not the case, I could see why the sense of defeat int hat situation. Jennifer was a strong-willed young woman; she wasn’t going to budge….
Laura: “I still have options. I want her, Sienna.”
Sienna: “Wanting and getting her are two different stories.”
Laura: “Her father is a fan of yours, what you did for him has scored points, he doesn’t look at you like the rest do.”
I turn to look at the Peyton Rice modeling pics she has strewn all over the place. Peyton was smart, naïve but smart. After what happened to Kelcey that ship sailed. I still had her father though, maybe Laura was on to something. Her loyalty to Wallace though would be a problem….
Sienna: “I like Ray but with Chris around my charm may not work so well now. I can keep showering him with gifts, will that make the ultimate difference? Probably not.”
Laura: “Do you think he’s giving up that Wheelchair? All those wonderful toys you bought him so that he can feel whole again? Darling, that girl is a perfect fit for us, no pun intended.”
Sienna: “I will work my magic; you just take care of the people here now. They are the ones that will make or break us, Laura. When those normal folks are branded Beauty Factory, the world will rejoice. Laura… Chris…..”
Laura: “I trust you, that is all you need to know about that. I just don’t want him to break your heart. I know how badly you have wanted Chris and how surprised you were when this happened like me. It is surreal and it is also dangerous. Kelcey Wallace may not wrestle anymore but she has strong allies and a powerful voice. It worries me some as we have worked so hard to get to this point.”
Sienna: “Yes, we have but remember this, if Chris Cannon can love me, so can they.”
Laura: “I know. I must finish up here, print out an offer for this young woman and talk to these “hopefuls” and swallow my pride. We are on top of the world darling, soon you will be THE UNDISPUTED World Champion and we can then go on to Rise to Greatness. It meant a lot to me what you did after the Gala, I’m sorry I was such a drunk.”
Sienna: “It’s okay, you had fun.”
Laura: “I did.”
Sienna: “I am sorry your daughters never came.”
She just turned and smiled at me before nodding, she had already accepted that and was content that her daughters never planned on attending. I hated seeing Laura like that, knowing that she was hurting inside but wanted to act tough and stay strong in front of me. I was determined to find out why they were blowing her off, sweetie…..
And while it took me a bit to find where they were, it’s nice having connections…
Laura: “It’s alright darling, I still had fun.”
I leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, giving Laura a hug from behind before walking out and meeting the new “hopefuls”, this was all a publicity stunt and I didn’t care, it was working, having a lot more planned….
This was only the beginning.
A Few Hours Later
City of Industry
Los Angeles, CA.
The Industrial part of Los Angeles was not a part of town I frequented a lot, actually never, now that I think about it. It wasn’t too hard to find Lennox who goes by the stage name of Lux. She is a YouTuber who has a very interesting show, she seems a bit crazy and a party girl but whatever. It was a loft, with one of those old lift elevators closing the gate in front of me. I walked out to see her in a pink bikini, matching nail polish and silver high heels recording herself. She stopped the minute I walked in and shut off the recording…
Lennox: “Excuse me, can I help you?”
Sienna: “Lennox…. Lennox Wilde?”
Lennox: “Who’s ask…. Wait… I know you, OMG… Sienna Swann!”
Sienna: “Follow modeling? Wrestling?”
Lennox: “When your mother is the Matriarch of Fashion, it’s a prerequisite. Did she send you?”
Sienna: “No, I came on my own accord, Sweetie. She doesn’t even know that I am here. I don’t think she would be too happy if she knew that I was. I don’t want to take up much of your time, but I feel like this is important enough to break my own rules of not getting involved in personal matters.”
Lennox: “Personal matters? First off, you can call me Lux. Everyone does it’s my nickname and don’t ask what it means. Second? As you can see around me, time is all I have.”
She grabbed a robe and covered herself up. This woman had a magnificent body and Laura’s eyes. You could see the resemblance; she definitely was a daughter of Laura Steinbeck. She walked over to her kitchen and grabbed a couple of beers nonchalantly, extremely friendly and outgoing that it actually caught me by surprise ….
Sienna: “I don’t drink.”
Lennox: “Right, so you’re a boring Angel, gotcha. I don’t drink alone so if you want to talk? You drink.”
Sienna: “Lux, I cannot.”
Lennox: “Wait a second, are you a recovering alcoholic?”
Sienna: “That question is a bit personal, sweetie.”
Lennox: “That’s a big YES. Okay, fine, I can’t push you to do something that would break your steps. Can I get you a Tab?”
Sienna: “Tab?”
Lennox: “The diet soda with the pink can? Yeah, I know, they still make it and guess what? I have some. It would be perfect if we were flying on a Pan Am flight, you know?”
She was very talkative and energetic, it was starting to annoy me a little, but I needed to keep my cool….
Sienna: “No, I’m fine, I’m not thirsty.”
Lennox: “Okay, whatever, two beers for me then.”
She cracked open both beers and gave me a really Joker-esque type smile. There was more to this woman than met the eye. She was finny on her channels yet there was something about her…
Lennox: “So why are you here, Heavenly Angel?”
Sienna: “Please, Sienna.”
Lennox: “Okay though I have to admit, that really does suit you. Girl, you have got to give me your beauty secrets, seriously and I’m not talking about just regular products, I want them all including the mask you use because that is perfect skin.”
Sienna: “I am the Perfect Ten.”
Lennox: “I see, vain too, I love this. Please… sit…..”
We both sat down. Lennox did look engaged and rather curious as to why I was there. It was a good start, not like she was pushing me out or showing resistance, probably my celebrity status….
Sienna: “A few weeks ago, your mother received the keys to the City of Los Angeles by the Mayor. She was being awarded this and recognized as the leader in fashion for all her work throughout the years, I know she text you, right?”
Lennox: “Probably.”
Sienna: “You didn’t see it?”
Lennox: “I usually do not pay too much attention to what my mother has to say these days, why?”
Sienna: “She really wanted you there, Lux.”
After I told her that she seemed to just laugh it off, very disrespectful to her mother and maybe I didn’t know the whole story, but this was starting to get on my nerves…
Lennox: “My mother winning an award for Fashion? Considering that has been her life and even some of it has rubbed off on me, I’m shocked it didn’t happen sooner. Out of the kindness of your heart, you came to ask me WHY I didn’t go to see my mom get her award, no strings attach?”
Sienna: “None.”
Lennox: “Has my mother ever told you about me? Ever tell you why you are just now meeting me and not for the last…. How long?”
Sienna: “I’m afraid not. I’ve known her 11 years.”
Lennox: “So, my mother discovered you around 16-17? I’m a few years younger than you, not surprising. You know Sienna, I have lived my own life, I run a successful YouTube Channel, I get plenty through endorsements, I create skits and videos that get millions of hits, I also model some, pose for my viewers, hence the pink bikini and such. Laura and I just never saw eye to eye, she hates what I am doing, feels like I am wasting my life away.”
Sienna: “When was the last time you saw her?”
Lennox: “It’s been a while. I take it you’re here to try and get me to go see her since I didn’t show up to this shindig which I’ll be frank I knew nothing about because I delete her text messages the minute, I get them.”
I could sense a lot more than just resentment toward Laura….
Sienna: “Yes, I think it was extremely important that you were there. Obviously you didn’t go but what does this mean now? You can still go see your mother, she misses you, I can tell she does.
Lennox: “Misses me? Ha…. Highly doubt that.”
Sienna: “She does, Lux.”
Lennox: “Uh huh.”
Sienna: “Why the hatred toward her? Why the resentment? Laura Steinbeck is a great woman who cares deeply about those that are connected to her.”
Lennox: “That’s what she wants you to believe because the Laura Steinbeck I know? Would rather sacrifice her family for fashion. You want me to go see my mother?”
Sienna: “Yes, please.”
Lennox: “Let me think about it….”
Sienna: “That is all I ask.”
Lennox: “Okay, No. If you’ll excuse me, I have some more filming to do.”
Sienna: “Don’t brush it off, what’s it going to do? Is it really going to hurt you to see her one time? At least show her that she still has a daughter and maybe you two can work things out? The worst feeling I had was the time my mother and I had a falling out. Are you not telling me that at least once in a awhile you think about her? Come on Lux, tell me the bloody truth.”
I could tell she was thinking about it….
Sienna: “Seriously think about it, please?”
Lennox: “I thought about it. No.”
There was a reason this woman hated her mother so much. I wasn’t going to pry, instead I grabbed my purse and started to head out the door…
Lennox: “…. On second thought, I may go. If you agree to do an episode with me on my Channel. Take it as a peace offering, a show of good faith. You help me and I will…. Make you look good in front of Laura.”
Sienna: “Make me look good? Sweetie, no offense but I always look good, that is not the topic of conversation here. If you want me to be a part of this, then YOU must show me good faith by going to see your mother, you do? I will do one of your pod casts and put you on the map.”
Lennox: “So all I have to do is come see Laura?”
Sienna: “Yes, that’s all.”
Lennox: “And you will be on my podcast, correct sugar lips?
That wasn’t such a hard request. I stopped in my tracks, turned around and stared at her for a moment….
Sienna: “Sure, sweetie.”
Lennox: “Okay, I’ll still think about it.”
A simple nod and this conversation was over. I stepped out and into my car not able to get a good read on Lux. So instead all I could do was hope that Reese was a little more understanding and welcoming…
Hope and that was stretching it.
Thirty Minutes Later
Griffin Observatory
Los Angeles, CA.
It took me a while to look both of these gals up and find where they were. Lennox wasn’t hard, she was all over Social Media and when you are trying to make it in this town, finding where she was, isn’t a shot in the dark. Reese was different though, while she did some modeling, Reese was an environmental specialist, she was big into the ecosystem, worked for the Observatory in its plant-based department. She seemed to live a more alternative lifestyle than Lennox who was simply just really pretty, gorgeous I would say but never went into full-blown modeling because of Laura. I parked the car and stepped out, walking into the Observatory, I looked on the directory and saw her name, Reese Lane. She was the younger of the two sisters.
I made my way outside where there stood a woman in a long green summer dress and sandals. She had sandy blonde hair and was covered in piercings and tattoos. There was something sexy about her, I don’t know what it was, but the minute she turned to me all I saw was Laura Steinbeck on her face. Her bright greenish blue eyes were mesmerizing, it was almost intimidating….
Reese: “Can I help you?”
I slowly take off my glasses, inside the Green House of the Observatory it was warm in here, she seemed to be studying some sorts of plants…
Sienna: “Reese Lane?”
Reese: “Who’s asking? Wait…. You look familiar…..”
Sienna: “My name is Sienna…..”
Reese: “…. Swann.”
Sienna: “Yes.”
Reese: “Well Ms. Swann, I know you are not here to help me in these studies of Greenhouse plan based organic growth and the impact it has on our bodies, doing it all pesticide free and getting a chance to enhance the vegetables consumed as part of a bigger initiative in our Go Green efforts, so what do you want?”
Wow, now I’m completely thrown off and confused even if all that she just said sounds extremely healthy and at the same time expensive at the grocery stores….
Sienna: “I was actually here to talk about your mother.”
I could tell that I hit a nerve, she stopped everything that she was doing and turned to me….
Reese: “I am sorry you wasted your time. If you like, since you drove all the way out here, I can give you a tour of what we do here, the more people know, the better but I’m not talking about my mother.”
Sienna: “Lennox wasn’t too receptive either.”
Reese: “Lennox? You went to see her already?”
Sienna: “Yes.”
Reese: “I haven’t talked to Lennox in years.”
Sienna: “I see…. I’ll take that tour.”
Reese: “Okay…. Come with me.”
Don’t know why I agreed to the tour, maybe it was my way to try and get her to trust me a little and open up. I could care less about going green and the environment though someone like Reese and what she does here in the Observatory could be a great PR move and really capture that spectrum with my For the People campaign. So, now the tour didn’t seem like a half bad idea….
Reese: “This Greenhouse is the home of thousands of plant species; we also have an agricultural section dedicated all to organic and hybrid fruits and vegetables that have a longer shelf life and have not lost their nutritional value due to process. That is the common problem with the vegetable and fruit market today, the stuff you buy at the store. What we are trying to do is replicate the seasons and fool the plants into thinking winter is Spring, Fall is Summer, etc. so we are more able to be sustained here and not have to depend so much on produce outside the United States where their regulations are completely different than ours.”
Sienna: “Makes sense.”
Reese: “I take it you have a very strict diet considering I am standing next to the most beautiful woman on the planet, I take it that is why my mother invested so much in you?”
Sienna: “I thought we weren’t going to talk about your mother, sweetie?”
Reese: “I changed my mind. You are trying to be friendly to me and are even willing to take a tour of probably the most boring shit you have ever come across in your life, this isn’t Versace or Armani, it’s my simple life. Did my mother tell you I was a model, once?”
Sienna: “She did. Both you and Lennox.”
When I said Lennox name, Reese shook her head and laughed….
Sienna: “I am getting the feeling you and Lennox don’t have the best relationship either.”
Reese: “Lennox is crazy. I try to be a clean soul, no bullshit. I’m very spiritual, I live a life of my own, I mean look at me, most people take me for a tree hugger and a hippie, sure whatever, I shave my legs and arm pits, I try to look good but I also care about my work and try to be this free spirit where I don’t live a toxic lifestyle. Lennox on the other hand wants to be that top model like you, she wants to be the stand-up comic, she wants the spotlight on her at all times but blames my mother for not having it.”
Sienna: “What about you?”
Reese: “Me? One of my best friends was killed a few years ago, she too was a model. It turned me away from the business because I feel her being a model is what got her killed.”
Model? Killed…. Wait…..no way….
Sienna: “Rebecca Williams?”
Her eyes widened, it was her, Jennifer’s sister….
Reese: “How did you know?”
Sienna: “Her sister, Jennifer… I know her. She’s a part of Laura’s Beauty Factory.”
Reese: “Jennifer… she talked about her all the time, the last thing she wanted was her being a part of this. I don’t know what else to say.”
Sienna: “What about Laura? I know you had a brother….”
Reese: “Twin brother, Cody. He killed himself eight or nine years ago, I can’t remember. Look, thanks for coming, I need to get back to work, it was a pleasure to meet you….”
Sienna: “A few weeks ago, Laura text you about coming to an award dinner.”
Reese: “I saw and ignored it. Sienna, I don’t know what my mother said to you or what you think is really going on but maybe you should talk to her and get the real answers. I can see it in your face how much you admire Laura Steinbeck and the last thing I want to do ruin that admiration. There is a reason neither Lennox nor I have had much contact with her since Cody.”
Sienna: “Whatever happened all those years ago, time can heal all wounds sweetie, I know that she wants to rekindle the relationship with you two. She won’t come out and say it, but I know she does.”
I was trying here, to at least reach one of them but it seemed to me that the more emotional disdain toward Laura came from Reese and not Lennox. Reese sighed, it was almost like she wanted to tell me, yet she was fighting a battle within herself….
Reese: “I don’t want to talk about it here.”
Sienna: “Fine, let’s meet up for dinner? Drinks? At this point anything. I want to know and maybe I can help bridge this gap. I love Laura, you don’t understand how hard she has worked to get to where she is at and I can see an emptiness in her…. That being her daughters.”
Reese: “Sienna, I know exactly how hard Laura Steinbeck works, it’s the reason she has no family. If you want to know the REAL truth, ask her then. She won’t lie to you Sienna, she will tell you everything if you ask. My mother is not a liar especially to those she cares about. It seems like you have taken our place.”
That answer caught me off guard, I didn’t know how to respond….
Sienna: “No… Reese, it’s not like that.”
Reese: “Oh it is and yes, I’ll meet you for dinner and drinks, you seem like an interesting person who could enrich my life a little.”
Sienna: “Great, here is my number, let me text it to you….”
As I text her number, we save the information. She nods and shakes my hand…
Reese: “Thanks. Sienna, Lennox and I don’t hate Laura, she is still our mother we get that. We both have our different reasons why we are not a part of her world anymore. I hope you don’t find out like we did.”
Sienna: “Find out what?”
Reese: “I have to go, I’ll call you soon and we can meet up, then maybe after a few drinks, I’ll tell you more. If you can’t wait, then ask Laura…. Ask her about Cody, ask her about me and Lennox. Ask her about her lovers, our fathers, maybe she will be more truthful with you then us. Have a good day.”
Sienna: “Yeah, sweetie, you too.”
I could see some hope in Reese, even Lennox. Though with Reese there was more pain there, Lennox was ulterior motives, I couldn’t pin point that woman, she seemed off a bit and yet it didn’t matter, I had to try if not for them….
Then for Laura.
I walked out, headed into my car and sat there for a moment before deciding whether to tell Laura what I did or see if it will even pan out. With phone in hand I struggled, wanting to so bad but finally put it down. If this works, hopefully I can make her life whole again after everything she has done for me….
If it doesn’t?
Then I need to know why because failure is not in my vocabulary, sweetie.
EPILOGUE: EXPLANATION
After what had occurred at Breakdown and now heading into Mexico, Sienna Swann knew there would be questions she would have to answer especially from her mother. She hadn’t seen much from the Streets which surprised her aside from Regan a few times but that dealt mostly with her daughter except for the night she showed up at the Cannon’s home drunk and pissed off, a volatile Regan was the last thing Sienna wanted for no matter what was going on, the Angel was still loyal to the Hellcat even if they were at odds. She didn’t want to make things any worse than what they were, and Chris Cannon knew that. After the little confrontation, Sienna was ready to deal with another source that would have plenty of questions for her, that being Amanda, her mother. Sienna had already told Sierra to calm down and just let what happened between her and the Twins go for now, Sienna didn’t want to deal with it during the whole ceremony where both her and Laura were being awarded for their humanitarian efforts and all she has done for the community.
Her mother though knew how much Sienna wanted Chris, she was there to see the struggles of her alcoholism and drug abuse, she could tell that her heart was being broken apart by this “obsession” she had with Cannon and finally, Amanda also knew that Kelcey Wallace was a good woman, very respected in the community and someone that people would frown upon if hurt.
Sienna and Chris did just that.
A few days before they headed out to Mexico, Sienna brought Chris over to her mothers. Sierra was also there. She didn’t know what to expect, so Sienna had her fingers crossed.
Swann Resident
Hollywood Hills, CA.
4.29.19
Sienna was very nervous and hesitant to bring Chris over to her mother. Her father was still traveling, not in town. Sierra was inside, sitting down on the couch reading a magazine, she wore jeans, a Victoria Secret t-shirt and thong sandals, her nails polished pink and long hair hanging down. Amanda was in the kitchen making some Iced tea, she was in a black summer dress and flats, a glossy color to her nails. Sienna walked up to the door, she looked at the dapper Chris in slacks, a Polo collared shirt and dress shoes. She herself was wearing leggings, a white blouse and wedge sandals, her long blonde hair hung down and nails polished white. Sienna grabbed the door handle and opened it, the two walked in. Sierra quickly stood up and looked over at Amanda wide-eyed….
Sierra: “Mum.”
Amanda: “What is it….oh…..”
Sienna: “Hi mum.”
Amanda: “Uh, Sienna and Chris!? Hi…. I wasn’t expecting you guys here.”
Sienna: “We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop in. I know this is a bit odd and all.”
Amanda: “No… no, please come in and make yourself comfortable.”
This was an awkward situation. Sierra was staring me down, not believing that I had Chris there with me. My mum on the other hand was being polite but she too was feeling a bit unnerved. I took a deep breath, grabbed Chris hand and we both sat down, I snuggled next to him, beaming. I had never been so happy before. My mum brought us some Iced tea and snacks, always the great host Sierra was still trying to gauge the situation….
Sienna: “Something wrong, sweetie?”
Sierra: “No… not at all. Hi Chris.”
Chris: “Hi Sierra, we really have never talked much but it’s nice to finally get to speak with you.”
Sierra: “Yes, yes likewise. Maybe I should leave you all be and….”
Sienna: “Sit down. Sierra no need to act weird in front of our guest.”
She turned to mum for validation….
Amanda: “Sienna is right. Sit down Sierra, we are all family here and have a guest. So, what is exactly going on here? We saw what happened ummm…. In New Mexico. Is that an act?”
Sienna: “No mum, no act. Chris and I are together.”
Amanda: “I’m sorry, I’m confused. I thought you are married to Kelcey?”
Chris: “I am right now, it’s a bit complicated.”
Sierra: “She’s pregnant mum, like 8 months.”
Amanda: “I don’t mean to pry but isn’t that… against California Law?”
Sienna: “Mum, I can explain.”
Amanda: “Uh, yeah that is a good idea, why don’t you explain because right now I am at a loss. The last thing I remember that involved you two, were at odds after Chris stopped showing up for your AA meetings. You were angry, I understood that my daughter was a bit aggressive with you and she tried to cost you the marriage that suddenly you have left, yes…. If I could drink right now, I would.”
My mother was on the brink of a nervous breakdown. I needed to calm her down as she was totally confused. The last time I talked to my mum, she was unaware there was anything going on, in fact she was upset with me when I had the sleeping pills I gave to Jennifer. I glanced over at Chris…
Sienna: “I….”
Chris: “I’ll get some fresh air.”
Sienna: “Okay.”
Sierra: “I’ll step out with you.”
I didn’t like the fact Sierra was walking out with Chris, but I went ahead and accepted it as my main concern was talking to my mum. They stepped outside to the deck; I could see her talking to Chris, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying….
Amanda: “What are you doing!? I didn’t raise you to steal husbands!?”
Sienna: “It’s not what you think mum.”
Amanda: “Not what I think? He is married with a pregnant wife that last I saw were like the model of what a real couple were. I don’t know what I missed long the way but Kelcey is a good woman, Sienna. You even helped her with the whole hospital wing. What happened between you and Chris? Was because of your aggression toward him, tell me different please?”
Sienna: “Kelcey left him.”
Amanda: “Oh sweetheart, he is on the rebound.”
Sienna: “No, he loves me mum.”
My mum didn’t believe me, she thought that right now I was probably the stupidest person walking God’s green earth. I wasn’t, I knew that he had feelings for me, he wanted to make this work, my mum didn’t get that…..
Amanda: “Do you know how crazy this sounds right now? That mine turned you down at every move. You were drinking yourself passed out because of him and suddenly you two are together? I… I… what happens when he and Kelcey make up?”
Sienna: “They are done!”
Amanda: “Done? You don’t throw away six years of a relationship in one night.”
Sienna: “You do when she compares him to Silas Mason. The man that brought me into wrestling? The man that abused me? That man who broke my toes because I lost a match? How could she call him that, mum!?”
Amanda: “That doesn’t concern you Sienna, that concerns them! You are a beautiful woman, some call you the most beautiful woman in the world and can have ANY man you want, he’s married!”
Sienna: “This is real mum, I swear!”
Amanda: “Real? I love you Sienna and I will not sit by and watch you throw away your bloody life for a fling. I trust you but not in this. I am trying to understand, and I cannot. I don’t want him to hurt you because I don’t think you can handle it if he did and the last thing, I want to see is my eldest daughter fall into alcoholism and drug abuse, again! Do you blame me for being concerned!? I like Chris, he is a gentleman, handsome and if in any circumstance you two would be perfect together. That is not the case.”
Sienna: “Do you not want me to be happy, mum?”
Amanda: “No, I want you to stop trying to be Kelcey.”
That last line hurt, I couldn’t believe she said that, then again many have said that in the past. It is true, I have tried to pattern my life after Kelcey, she had it perfect, why can’t I? That stopped though, I found my own niche and became an Angel…..
Sienna: “Mum… I…..”
Before I could finish Chris cut in, he walked inside and during the argument, neither of us heard him come in. He stood there, Sierra at the doorway…
Chris: “With all due respect, Mrs. Swann, you are wrong. Maybe at one time Sienna wanted to have the same success as Kelcey, not now. Sienna has forged her own path now and you should be proud of her.”
Amanda: “That is it, Chris, I am but the last thing I need is for her to make a mistake and end up with a broken heart.”
Chris: “I won’t do that. I won’t hurt her. This is not what you think, Mrs. Swann.”
Sienna: “Mum, this is real.”
Amanda: “I…. I don’t know what to say. You have hurt her so many times before just by refusing her advances that now you have her heart, as a mother I need to protect her. You were not there when she hit rock bottom, when I thought my baby was going to die because of her addiction. This isn’t some fling, what about your wife?”
Chris: “She’s out of the picture.”
Amanda: “Your baby?”
Chris turned to look at me, I smiled and nodded….
Amanda: “Are you serious?”
Chris: “We have already talked about everything. Sienna and I are on the same page and I would like the chance to prove it to you. I need you to trust me that I would not hurt her as she was the only one who came to my side when my friends and family abandoned me, they questioned my motives and didn’t believe me. Sienna and this really spoke volumes. I always had something for her, all it took was this one instance to open my eyes. Mrs. Swann… I love your daughter, give me the chance to prove it, please?”
My eyes widen and lips began to quiver when Chris said he loved me; I was caught my surprise. I grabbed his hand and looked over at my mum. It seemed like all the air escaped from my mother’s lungs. Sierra walked over and sat next to her; all I could do is look at her until she finally submitted….
Amanda: “Okay Chris…. Okay.”
Chris: “Thank you.”
Chris walked over and extended his hand to my mum, she shook it then turned back to me and stood up, she came over and gave me a hug, whispering in my ear…. “He better not hurt you”. I appreciated my mother being so protective of me, it showed how much she cared. I know that I put her in a very odd position, one where she would be torn. All of this maybe too much to take in right now and I get that….
This is real….
And I will fight for this to be my life….
And NO ONE will tell me different…..
Because I love Chris Cannon.

Interview w/ Robin Roberts
ABC’s Good Morning America
4.12.19
PART 4
Sienna adjusted herself in the seat as Robin smiled, it was forced. Sienna could see that Robin wasn’t buying her answers, it was hard to come across sincere to someone like Ms. Roberts who has dealt with so many other personalities. As Robin was about to speak, Sienna instead cuts her off…
Sienna: “…. I don’t mean to cut you off Robin, but I have been here before. In this same exact spot years ago when I was trying to defend myself and explain my actions. I lied then, I was wrong for what I did because I was afraid of the consequences, I was not ready to take or accept them. This now is different, see Robin, I have nothing to hide, I haven’t done anything wrong. It is easy to point fingers and discredit someone like me. Deep down inside it hurts. Look at Owen Cruze, the support he receives, the fanfare, do you know how hard it is to go on the Social Media and see so many people wish him victory, talk about how hard he has worked for this moment and say nothing to me? Instead they rather see me fail. Do you know why?”
Robin: “They are your peers, why would they want to see you fail?”
Sienna: “It’s like Chris Cannon. It’s like The Truelove Twins or Bree Lancaster. In a year it will be the same with Owen Cruze, they will hate him, they will cheer for the next new flavor. They only appreciate someone like me or Owen when we are the underdog. The minute we surpass them, we become a threat to their existence. That is life in general, people want to see you succeed until you are more successful and then they want to see you fail. Robin, how many times have you had professional jealousy from your co-workers rear its ugly head? It is natures mandate and that is why I rather go and help the people that will appreciate it, the ones that will NEVER be the top 1-3%, they will never get to experience what we have. Chris Cannon was Superman until he mistakenly hit a loved and revered star by accident who at one time was also hated. It’s hypocrisy which is why when it comes to who I am and what I do “For The People”, it is genuine. Just like the marriage of Kelcey Wallace and Chris Cannon. Tell me something, was anyone not surprised when Robin Williams committed suicide?”
Robin: “I don’t think his death has anything to do with this.”
Sienna: “No? Behind the smile, the comedy was a sad man suffering from depression and NO ONE saw the signs. What I am saying? Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
Robin: “So, your telling me that Chris Cannon and Kelcey Wallace are not happily married like it would seem?”
Sienna sighs even frown a little before speaking….
Sienna: “That’s exactly what I am saying Robin and what you saw was Chris and his plea for help.”
Her eyes narrow as she cracks a smirk, staring right at Robin Roberts……

“PRETTY” ANGELICAL PERFECTION
The Scene Opens….
The Eastern Market area is named for the 19th-century market operating here, with vendors selling everything from tacos to colorful produce every Saturday. Sundays see the space packed with local jewelers and artists. Hip cafes and places serving classic Coney Island hot dogs dot the district whose warehouses are being revitalized with murals. There is live jazz and Motown music at relaxed Bert’s Warehouse Theatre. The Eastern Market farmer’s distribution center is the largest open-air flowerbed market in the United States and has more than 150 foods and specialty businesses. Here is where we find the Interim World Champion, Sienna Swann, “The Heavenly Angel of the SCW and a woman who has been making some waves in recent weeks along with Chris Cannon, the kiss seen around the world, the once respected Superman and husband of Kelcey Wallace has turned against his family though he claims everyone else has and gone with Sienna who now are the Power Couple of the SCW.
Sienna couldn’t be happier, and she know exactly the challenges ahead after defeating Owen Cruze at Tabula Rasa and now finds herself teaming with her best friend, Bree Lancaster against Peyton Rice and Jon Goddard. Peyton Rice is an interesting one as she was discovered by Sienna a few years ago and recommended she try out for wrestling at Ante Up Academy. Sienna has also formed a very strong bond with Peyton’s father, Ray, by supplying all kinds of equipment for him to be able to get around better. Peyton knows what Sienna is trying to do but now more than ever it is about Kelcey Wallace and what the Angel did to the young woman’s mentor and mother figure. Jon Goddard on the other hand has found himself trying to protect and even help Peyton along which in many ways annoys Sienna. Laura has already expressed interest in Rice, maybe this is a way to convince her since she had such a close relationship with Chris and especially Kelcey. Sienna doesn’t care though; she is happy right now in her position and looks forward to Taking Hold of the Flame so she may cement her spot in the Main Event of Rise to Greatness.
Wearing sky blue pleather pants and open toed white heels, a matching halter top with the World Championship over her shoulder, nails polished a matte sky blue and long hair hanging down, the Truelove Twins stand behind her in matching black suits and peep toe pumps, nails polished red and hair slicked back in ponytails. Laura stands to the side in her red suit and black blouse ready to signal the camera man…
REC:
Sienna takes a second before she turns toward the camera, her icy blue eyes look right in as she speaks in her South African accent…
“Things change….
And all watching need to accept that change. I have been speaking truth for a very long time and it seems to me that none of you care to listen or believe in my words or even predictions. When I was robbed of the World Championship back in January after everyone on the roster basically interfered on Syren’s behalf, I told you then that if I had ONE chance to get this title back around my waist, I would and look at your Angel now. The doubt and criticism of my morality, giving nature and sincerity is always questioned. Those that I would have thought to want and help others in needs instead of assist me with Food Drives, Pet Rescues, reuniting Families or helping the youth in Urban areas rather chastise Sienna Swann and what the Beauty Factory is doing to the communities all around the country and SOON the world. It is a bothersome and disturbing trend all culminated by the fact I now not only hold the ONLY World Championship in the entire wrestling landscape….
I also am with Chris Cannon.
You boo him? The jeers fill the arena, the fans of Kelcey Wallace and the Streets were quick to judge, labeling him the villain of the story and for what? To make themselves feel better? Chris reacted, he answered exactly the way any real man would, why apologize for a mistake when none of you including Kennedy Street wanted an apology? What she was looking for, admittance. See, that is the issue I have with so many right now in the SCW where unlike The People understand, they know outside the ring, in cities such as Atlanta, Miami, San Antonio, New York and right here in Detroit that Sienna Swann is the Angel they need and deserve, yes Heaven exists and I have brought it down to earth. Chris Cannon was only following his heart, if any think that happy endings happen on a daily basis, you are wrong, they do not. There are people who break up, I have gone through some and each time they get harder and harder which is why it’s never easy and no one wants to see someone like Kelcey Wallace hurt especially when pregnant, so close to labor.
I sympathize with her, all the women that have gone through such a stage in their life that have had to find the inner strength to move on at the expense of no one, yes none of us are immune to it, me too have fallen into this state of mind and I wish I could do something for her yet according to some, giving her a hospital wing at Cedar Sinai dedicated to finding a cure for her disease is NOT enough? Some may say that what I do is a publicity stunt, all to get this attention in hopes that might actions do not have dire consequences? What about MY life? What about that of Chris Cannon? Have any of you ever stopped to think that we indeed LOVE one another and have for a long time?
How long can one person deny that?
Look at you, all rallying behind Owen Cruze, Twitter feeds peppered with Tweets after Tweets with support to beat me, to take what is “his”? To become a World Champion this company needs. What about me? What else do I have to do? I don’t see Owen feeding the homeless, I see him standing outside arenas gathering a bunch of Gen Z’s to his cause in hopes of defaming my character and all I do just to boost his own ego and answer me this, how did that work out for him? You cheer for people like Ace Marshall who wrestles three months out of the year when it counts and takes the spot of those who have been going to the grind all year, like myself earning the name “The Iron Angel” and winning 2018 Female Wrestler of the Year, sweetie yet that is the person you support? Or maybe Kennedy Street who somehow finds a way to victimize herself in ever situation she’s ever encountered, it is her game and none of you have picked up on it?
I do not understand, and I don’t know if I ever will because if this is not hypocrisy at it’s purest form, I do not know what is. Chris Cannon just a few months ago was YOUR Superman, he was a hero, a man that was nurturing one of my opponents, Peyton Rice, showing her the ropes and because he chose to love me, now he is dead to you?
This is both absurd and laughable at best.”
Sienna stops for a moment as The Twins look on and agree. The gorgeous Sienna has what she wants and right now things couldn’t be any better. In the public eye her movement is gaining steam, people are starting to flock toward her and the Beauty factory but in the wrestling world, the fans are fickle, they see Sienna in a totally different light and now that Chris Cannon is with her, they have become Public Enemy #1. She looks back into the camera and speaks, holding the World Championship…
“I stand here in the Eastern Market Place, a famous destination in rural Detroit where so many come to shop and eat, this is a area that I made sure to come and visit because those walking around me right now are the ones that I go out of my way and help. Last night for example I was at the Met Gala in New York, I took a bloody red-eye to get here just so I could come and talk to the good people of Detroit and help anyway I could. This is the dedication I have toward the same folk who have supported my cause and understand, they are the same ones that will find comfort under my wing and will watch tomorrow night a very special event as Bree Lancaster and I team against John Goddard and Peyton Rice. Chris Cannon will go up against Owen Cruze and the Twins will show why they are ready to be Tag Team Champions.
Don’t you see that tomorrow night is all about YOU? It is about The Beauty Factory giving back, to watch great wrestling action, this is what it’s all about and when Syren stops being a coward and is either stripped of her championship or faces me when I finally defeat her and show why I am THE undisputed Champion, I will give the entire company a moment to rejoice and know that the TRUE Face of the SCW stands before her in Angelic spirit? This goes beyond all this, teaming with my best friend who will go on to win Taking Hold of the Flame while I walk into RTG XVI as World Champion, we will have the match of the ages and no one can take away our time at the very top and give you the ABSOLUTE BEST Main Event that will dwarf Giovanni Aries vs Kennedy Street, Ace Marshall vs. James Evans and ANYTHING Kelcey Wallace has done. This is why I need you to listen to me carefully Peyton Rice because I don’t hate or even have any angst toward you. Matter of fact I think the world of you Peyton, who discovered you?
ME.
Isn’t there any loyalty to this?
Did Kelcey find you? Did she pull you to the side after seeing your Perfect Body? Did she ever encourage and direct you to join Ante Up Academy where one of my best friends, Regan Street made sure that her husband, David Helms trained and nurture you to become the superstar you are today? NO, I do not recall that at all which is why I often wonder why the loyalty? Seriously, I understand Peyton, Kelcey’s attitude her good nature, her willingness to share knowledge and inspire is a tough act to follow. Think about it though, you have surpassed the infantile stages, the run in EMERGE and the UWA have established Peyton Rice as the next big star of the SCW no matter where you are right now in the roster and your positioning, that is all hog wash, for you see Peyton, this is the chance for you to be even greater, this match serves as a lesson, stepping into the ring with two women that are simply the best in their game and yet, I want to give you more like I have your father. I want you to listen very closely young lady as I have been at your stage before, doubting the business, the people in it, yes it is cutthroat, I didn’t know if I was going to survive, it took temporary paralysis to open my eyes, do not allow it to get that far with you, allow me to help you along the way. I admire and respect your father; this is one of the reasons I’ve gone out of my way to help him because he deserves it.
Wouldn’t you agree, Peyton?
Isn’t this why you do this? Step in the ring everyday and in his honor? Yes, so do it, give him everything he deserves and desires and become something greater. I know you’re mad about Chris, he hurt Kelcey but stop there for a second and think about it….
Didn’t Kelcey hurt Chris?
She called him Silas Mason for crying out loud and if anyone knows of the tyranny that man possessed it is me. Do you remember when Mr. D told you to stand out? That there were too many models, too many “Pretty” faces and basically, he was telling you to stop being who YOU ARE and become someone you’re not? Peyton, you are absolutely gorgeous and like your ex-boyfriend who I know you still have feelings for in Ricky Octavius, he found value in being part of the Beauty Factory.
You would never have to worry about taking care of your father again.
I will not take away this opportunity for us to wrestle, I want you to bring your best and show me like I had to countless times to the rest of these ungrateful hacks on this roster, that I was the Future, will I am now everything that I claimed to be and YOU are the Future, put it on display and when this is all over, look me in the eye and accept your calling….
Chris Cannon realized that he was greater than just a man who everyone cheered, he was a Superman that everyone envied.”
A scowl starts to form on the face of the beautiful Sienna Swann as she looks into the camera. She does like Peyton Rice, but is fully aware the young upstart and former EMERGE Champion will want to wrestle for Kelcey’s honor, there is no denying it. Peyton is a challenger and so both Bree and Sienna must then put all their concentration on Goddard while showing Peyton that she has a choice. Sienna lets out a deep breath and looks into the camera as she continues to speak….
“The problem I see though is this ruffian, this man of the backwoods has taken a liking to you after what? After he defeated you, Peyton in your first SCW match giving the undefeated EMERGE champion her first singles loss? Is that the kind of dedication you want to give this man Peyton who obviously has ulterior motives not like that prude, Alistaire Allocco and his senile father? John Goddard is a psychopath, anyone that breeds the children he has in EMERGE, anyone that wants to look like him and not forced because they have an excuse like being homeless or a drug addict, has a few screws loose. Is that really the type of people you want to associate yourself with Peyton, that man is only going to bring you down and why he is even here in the first place is beyond me. John Goddard represents those that think are above common and civilized laws, they are savages who have no care for human life. Straight out of a horror movie, these are the ones that you do not go to their farm house in the middle of nowhere if your car breaks down. We are from opposite sides of the world, we deal in beauty, allure and glamour. John Goddard deals in the grotesque and represents a putrid and distained presence that I have been trying to rid of for a long time. Their kind do not want to be helped, he is alike a cult leader, Jim Jones where Peyton is about to drink the Kool-Aid or David Koresh where the last place, I want to see Peyton in is in some basement of a burning complex.
That is who YOU are Mr. Goddard, the opposite of everything I represent and am trying to do for the surrounding communities. You thrive on poverty, you rather see the world suffer in the same state you’ve chose to live sir, well I will NOT allow that to happen to Peyton or anyone for that matter as I am here to lift them up from a paltry existence you claim as life and normality. Your looks alone scare children, I see the bugs buzzing around you, there is probably something living in your beard and yet Mr. Goddard in many ways we are both leaders of a movement that have our own beliefs.
There is a reason you came to the SCW after being quiet all those years in the background. Your daughter, Minerva busted into the scene and is making waves around the world, your two sons are running rampage in EMERGE, your right hand man is a monster destroying people in his wake, I see what you are doing sir, amassing the army so that you may take over but first leading everyone into a false sense of security and you start with an innocent woman like Peyton Rice, how dare you prey on that beautiful and kind young woman? Bree and I know you are the problem, a leader yourself of a movement that is anti-establishment, isolating yourself from the rest of the world, probably eating road kill or young teenagers that were lost in the woods, I do not know, it is mere speculation at this point though I am sure there are plenty of missing posters in your county.
What is going to happen on Breakdown in Detroit, Mr. Goddard is simple, Bree and I will walk into the ring and make sure that you can no longer poison that young woman’s mind and unite against the unholy and hideous monster you are. This is the problem with the SCW and while they boo me, they think I am some sort of false prophet I am facing one. Now I see why, they rather follow a man who can barely speak the English language and promotes confinement, segregation from the real world and exile?
You do not have to believe in my cause but John Goddard, I will not stand to see Peyton be brainwashed by you and this sick, perverted thing you have for her. The fact is, I am the REAL-World Champion and my talents along with Bree’s will be on full display. Do Peyton a favor, leave her alone, let her blossom into what she was intended to be and just disappear, you smell, you’re scary to look at and most of all, we don’t need anyone promoting the homeless in the SCW as I rather throw you a couple of dollars than the kick….
That though will NOT be the case.”
With a smirk on her face, Sienna brushes her hair back some. Her icy blue eyes look into the camera, narrowing a little, focused on the tag team match and Taking Hold of the Flame as well. Sienna has drawn the lines and with Chris Cannon now by her side, the sky’s the limit. She turns back to the camera and speaks…
“Chris believes in you Peyton; he understands like I do what it is like to feel this pain and hatred toward this whole situation, but I want you to know that it is not who you should be angry with. While you were one of the few that held judgement, no one else did. What does that say about the people you have this displaced faith in?
John Goddard is not your friend and I think even your father would agree on this. Do the right thing Peyton, be the woman you were always meant to be, and you know exactly who that is, remember who brought you to the dance….
Because when you stand there looking at that vagabond who is trying to steal you away and assimilate you into one of their own?
I’ll will be bringing him back down to earth and giving him something to truly believe in….
With a Kiss By An Angel.”
Sienna smiles….
“All….
For The People.”
…. Holding up the World Championship and winking as the Twins both nod and Laura smiles.
