PART I
CNN Correspondents, Chris Cuomo, Brooke Baldwin and Kaitlin Collins on Cuomo Primetime. They come back from commercial where the picture in the background is that of Sienna Swann, the woman most are calling a “Heavenly Angel” but there is a debate on whether her #ForThePeople Movement is a publicity stunt or if she is being sincere. Cuomo examines…
Cuomo: “So, Sienna Swann. I wanted both you Brooke and Kaitlin here because besides Anna Navarro, you two have been covering the “For The People” Movement that has started in recent months by Swann herself along with Laura Steinbeck, a name that is well-known in the fashion industry. Sienna, what can we say? She’s one of the most beautiful women and recognizable faces on the planet. Some are questioning these motives, she has critics, probably stemming back to 2011 and the scandal, correct?”
Brooke: “That is a fair Until assessment, yes.”
Kaitlin: “I would say so but let me add this. Isn’t it the time for empowering women? What we are seeing is Sienna using a power she has that 98% of the world doesn’t. She can use her wealth and influence to do whatever she likes, instead Sienna has saved thousands of dogs and cats, fed thousands of homeless, helped at the border, just the other day she donated what, a quarter of a million to Black Lives Matter under Owen Cruze’s name, a fellow young wrestler. I mean, sure, we can criticize her for what? Grandstanding? Getting more press? Is that a crime?”
Brooke shakes her head….
Brooke: “No and that is a good point. When do we say, the past is enough? When as a society are, we going to stop, take a step back for a second and think to ourselves, are we going to hold this woman accountable for mistakes she made 8 years ago? There is a sensitive nature to this and unfortunately the same people she talks about are the ones that are finding anything to be critical about. Sienna is not in company alone, every person with celebrity status goes through this.”
Cuomo: “Okay, I think both points are valid, so then I will play Devil’s Advocate, what about her in wrestling? She is clearly someone disliked. That crowd doesn’t like her. She isn’t boring, she’s actually extremely charismatic, dare I say Angelic even as the moniker states? If you are going to convince them that Sienna Swann is a good person that means well, how do we explain her actions lately both in the social world and in her two professions, three if you add Humanitarian?”
Kaitlin: “You mean the Chris Cannon situation?”
Cuomo: “Yes, here is a woman that wants us all to believe she is “For The People” and yet her way of being a role model is by dating a married man? Now, don’t get me wrong, there is no denying what she has done and what she is doing to help out the community. She is building a huge youth center in Los Angeles, my understanding, she’s off to South Africa for a few weeks on a mission to end Apartheid, these are all issues she’s tackled.”
Brooke: “They are major issues and right now what this country needs and frankly all around the world are strong women leaders that step up and take charge. We have some but we nee more and right now Chris, Sienna is fitting that bill. It’s hard to maintain such a mistake free life, I cannot see anyone able to do that these days with Social Media. I think Sienna will always have that cloud over her head for sure, when does the storm clear?”
Kaitlin nods, Brooke lets her speak….
Kaitlin: “From my sources, Kelcey Wallace left Chris Cannon. So now the question is, do you blame Sienna Swann for wanting to be with him? We see it all the time, Pitt and Jolie are a perfect example, does it make it right? No, but does it constitute labeling her a fraud? Let me pose this question instead, if Sienna Swann was a fake, then ask the 1200 Atlanta Homeless just five blocks from our studio here if they think that after not starving out on the street.”

IN THE EYES OF AN ANGEL
PROLOGUE: HATRED
Being the interim Champion for Sienna Swann was both an honor and a privilege though deep inside she knew that the title was robbed from her back in January at making things right when Christy Matthews had interfered on behalf of Syren allowing her to pin Cassidy Carter and see Sienna watch as her title was gone. Since then Syren defended the belt once against one of her allies at the present time, Marie Jones, after that she “faked” an injury opening the door for Sienna to defeat Kennedy Street in controversy leading to Chris Cannon’s turn and all that happened since then which in many ways was everything that Sienna wanted in her life and now she has it all. There is one step left for Sienna and that is to defeat Syren at Taking Hold of the Flame so she can take her place at the Main Event of Rise to Greatness. Before that though, Sienna needed to get the contract signed, it was the guarantee she was looking for but deep down inside she was hoping Syren wouldn’t save face and walk away. Sienna has been wanting this match with Syren since before RTG last year and now was the time for it to happen so that she could finally move forward and beaten all the major stars of the past but one….
Ravyn Taylor.
And even though this is a tag team match, the chance to be in the same ring as her and get a pinfall would not only send a message to Syren, it would also boost her confidence leading into the biggest event of the year. The contract signing turned into a brawl, Kennedy Street interfered, she was not about to let Chris Cannon and Sienna Swann get away with what they have, and we also saw Chris own nephew punch Chris.

Minneapolis, MN.
A Few Hours Later
The gorgeous Angel sat on the couch of their suite. Her long legs hung over the arm, wearing a white nightie, her long hair hung down and nails polished a matte sky blue. She held a cup of cider in her hand, sipping it gently, looking through her phone while Chris walked out of the shower in a towel. She knew he was upset as her icy blue eyes glared up at him. She starts playing a video on one of the News Channels, it is Jeanine Pirro….
“Whether your religious beliefs or not, do Angels exists? That is the question being asked right now since Sienna Swann, a wrestler, supermodel and entrepreneur has taken the country by storm the last four months with a movement called “For The People”. Here is a woman that has empowered herself by helping the needy and those who seek assistant. Some are questioning her motives, but do we follow someone that cannot even respect the sanctuary of marriage? A person who condones infidelity? Have our role models and heroes been excused of following the same laws and morals the rest of us do because of money? Power? Success? In her case, beauty? A person no doubt has chosen to spend her millions on charity instead of lingerie, that much can be said of her. What this comes down to? Is the person who portrays an angel actually an angel?
Or a charlatan.”
A scowl forms on the face of Sienna as she throws her phone on the coffee table, is slides across landing on the floor. She folds her arms lets out a sigh. Chris walks over and grabs her phone, he hands it to Sienna…
Chris: “If you listen to what every person has to say about you whether positive or negative, you’ll drive yourself mad, love.”
Sienna: “They don’t understand us, no one does. I am NOT a charlatan especially coming from someone like Jeanine Pirro? Please, she’s a racist and a Trump lover.”
Chris: “She would suck his bollocks if that idiot bared them to her. Are you okay?”
Sienna: “I’m, annoyed. Angry…. I don’t know…. Bitter.”
Chris: “If it’s about tonight, don’t be. Kennedy can try hard as she can to get my attention and it is not going to happen. I’m not giving her what she wants. Kennedy can continue sticking her nose in my business, I will not budge.”
Sienna: “Kennedy isn’t going to stop. Doesn’t matter, we both know what needs to happen. Syren stands in my way of the Main Event for Rise to Greatness. I have waited almost an entire year for this match. They think I am going to run scared, she should have not wasted my time, yet I am glad she did. I don’t get it Chris. They cheated me out of the World Championship, her and half the roster and yet those people out there boo me? After everything I do for their community and this company. I feel disrespected.”
Chris sees how upset Sienna is, sitting behind her, his muscular hands starts to massage and caress her neck….
Chris: “You’re tense.”
Sienna: “I want this, bad. There is nothing I have wanted more in my life except you. I want to be in the Main Event at RTG, it is my right. I worked too damn hard not to be and allow some cowardly part time wrestler to be in the biggest match of this company. It’s like Ace Marshall, that piece of crap wrestles two, maybe three months out of the entire year, if he was in the Main Event and I wasn’t? How is that fair?”
Chris: “I’m in Taking Hold of the Flame, he’s not winning, love.”
Sienna: “I know Chris, I’m just allowing everything to get to me. I wish…. I wish Regan understood; I feel like I could use her right now. Her face when she walked into your house and saw us….”
Chris: “Regan is Regan. I always admired her unlike Kennedy, Regan goes after what she wants, she doesn’t follow any outline. She made her choice though Sienna. I think we both know that the battle lines have been drawn and even though Jennifer is dating my son and she is part of the Beauty Factory, what you two had is gone. Concentrate on what is important, the two of us being in the Main Event of RTG XVI and we call our own shots. Listen to me, I know it’s tough to hear those type of comments or not have the support system you once had, it doesn’t matter, you have me now and I have you.”
Sienna’s head slightly turned, looking over her shoulder at Chris. There was doubt in Sienna, she had all the what if scenarios running through her head including not winning at THoTF. This time she was not in the match itself, where she lasted over 70 minutes, this time Sienna had the chance Kennedy Street was given, all she had to do was win and Sienna would be watching THoTF to see who she would be facing, possibly her own lover, Chris Cannon or best friend, Bree Lancaster which she would greet with open arms…
Sienna: “That is the only thing that makes this all worth it. It’s not hard getting the public outside the business to side with you. Honestly, it wasn’t hard at all. You would think people would want to see us happy, right? Why would they want to see you in a marriage where your wife left you and she even called you the most disgusting man on the planet, Silas Mason? I don’t get it. You made the right decision; you came with me because you know I would never do that to you. I would protect you with everything I had and treat my man like the king he is.”
Chris: “I know you will love, I never doubted that for a second.”
Sienna: “Two weeks Chris and my dreams ALL come true., I can’t allow these thoughts of doubt cloud my judgment. Hurt my confidence. I’m better than her, I always was. She has no claim to this Championship, its mine and will stay mine. To think that Alexander….”
Chris quickly responded cutting her off unintentionally….
Chris: “…. Crowe is my problem; don’t you worry about him. You have the advantage now that everyone is banned from ringside. There are no excuses, she is now forced to fight you one on one. What happened tonight was only a small hiccup, I’m not concerned, you shouldn’t either. I’m with you for many reasons, including your hard work and dedication to this. I know what is bothering you really, this match we have next Breakdown. Ravyn and Christy, two women you want revenge on.”
Sienna: “I hate Ravyn.”
Chris: “I know you do; I don’t think too many people like her love.”
Sienna: “I have waited two years to get my hands on her. Christy is the one responsible for putting the title on Syren earlier. I have something for her but Ravyn? She is the one person I couldn’t beat.”
Chris: “Two years ago was a different time.”
Sienna: “Yes, that is true. It was a different time, but I can’t forget it. I should have been the LAST Women’s Champion and look what she did to it. She stole my Rise To Greatness moment. She embarrassed me in so many ways including costing me a World Championship. I wish she would just…..”
Chris: “Don’t say it.”
Turning away, Sienna sipped her cider and sat up, placing the cup on the glass table, lowering her head as Chris gently rubbed her back….
Chris: “I know you’re frustrated, nervous even. Don’t be. We will use this to our advantage. You have me out there now, the one factor you didn’t before.”
Sienna: “Kennedy?”
Chris: “You let me worry about her. Concentrate on what is important, alright love?”
Sienna: “You are what is important. Things are going to start getting difficult for us, you know that.”
Chris: “I know, and I am ready for whatever comes.”
Sienna: “Kelcey is due anytime.”
Chris: “What is wrong?”
Chris could see the birth of the baby was making Sienna extremely uncomfortable, there was more to the birth that even he could tell within his Angel. Maybe it was the fear of the child coming into his life and forcing him to spend time with Kelcey, it could be that Sienna feels Kelcey could use the baby against Chris or even as a crutch. There was even concern of Kelcey’s safety perhaps within Sienna who didn’t hate her, she despised Kelcey for being the woman Sienna always wanted to be…..
Sienna: “When this baby comes, I’m just afraid I’m going to lose you.”
Chris: “Wait… what? What do you mean?”
Sienna: “Come on Chris, she’s still your wife. Those people out there talking about me on the news are right, Kelcey is still your wife, she is about to have your baby, a child you have wanted for years and when you have it? It will force you to go back to her and then I…..”
Chris: “…. No, Sienna. That child will be a part of our lives. Kelcey made her choice, she left me and so I moved on. What we have here, that is what’s important. Sure, the baby is my child and I will be the best father I can but I will also tell you that what we have here is in no danger, this is not some fling, this is real, you believe me right?”
She’s slowly nods, unsure of herself or the current situation. Chris places his hand on her cheek, forcing her to turn towards him, looking right into her bright blue eyes….
Chris: “I love you. It took me a bloody long time to figure that one out. What Kelcey and I had was special, there is no doubt about that, but things change, love. I didn’t think I would be here with you right now, not only the most beautiful woman walking the planet but also the most giving, understanding and driven person I know. Whatever they say about us is hogwash. It doesn’t matter what others think, they were the first to judge quickly without ever listening to our side of the story. What you do with these people is downright angelic, let them think what they want but what you and I have? IS REAL.”
Sienna: “Promise.”
Chris: “I have never made a surer promise than I am making now. Okay?”
Sienna: “I love you; I have loved you for a long time Chris and I didn’t know how to approach you about it. I made silly mistakes, I said stupid things, I…..”
He places his index finger on her plump and moist lips….
Chris: “We are here now and together we will conquer all. Nothing is going to stop us from getting our Main Event at RTG. Nothing will get in our way of having a family that we can call our own. And nothing will get in the way of our love.”
Without another word, she grabs the sides of his face and plants a huge kiss on lips. Before she knows it, Sienna straddles Chris and slips off her nightie as he smiles. She leans in kissing him some more as the two embrace and find themselves heading over to the bed where they spend the rest of the night making love. All Sienna needed was to hear it come from his mouth…..
And the reassurance by Chris was enough to strengthen her resolve and eliminate her doubts.
THE DEVIL BEHIND THE CAMERA
THE ANGEL IN FRONT OF IT
The “For The People” Movement was in full swing. Sienna Swann was wasting no time in making sure that she was staying busy and grabbing as much press as she could. For the Angelic one, word of mouth, good publicity through some of the negativity was the driving force behind making a strong foundation for her. Working with Vogue, having an understanding with Steve Bain after a rough start, the new pledge by the Beauty Factory to allow anyone to enter and become a Model has been a huge hit and an incredible televised piece that has received not only national but international attention as well. After the Met Gala last week where Sienna made a huge splash, it was time to capitalize with her being Interim World Champion and soon THE World Champion after Taking Hold of the Flame, even with the negative publicity she had received dating Chris Cannon, the entrepreneur and pretty much self-made millionaire that recovered after being blackballed years ago has become a symbol of empowerment to the public eye though wrestling fans on the other hand have not taken to her and instead she is probably the most hated wrestler on the roster besides Cannon himself.
Sienna doesn’t care one bit, instead she is excited to have the opportunity to be that empowering woman figure that people are looking for in these troubling times and will take anything she can to get over. She understands the power someone like Sienna can amass. What her and Laura are doing is putting the Beauty Factory in a good place so that they can call their own shots and not do any wrong in the eyes of those outside the wrestling business.
Los Angeles
5.20.19
After attending the premiere of Bree Lancaster’s new doll, Sienna was ready to take the trip to Ottawa for the very important match she had with Chris Cannon against the new formed, Infamous but first she had a press release about the new models that were being introduced through the Beauty Factory and their new initiative. At the Vogue Headquarters she wore a white slit dresses and Louboutin open toed heels, her nails polished a matte sky blue and long hair slicked back in a high ponytail, she paced the office of Steve Bain as he walked in wearing a gray suit and coffee in hand not expecting her so early in the morning, she was texting on her phone….
Steve: “Sienna?”
Sienna: “There you are, I didn’t think you were going to show.”
Steve: “I wasn’t expecting you; I know we have a certain level of understanding here but I am a businessman who runs a multimillion-dollar company, I still have protocols, which means, appointments?”
Sienna: “I make you more money than anyone else on the payroll, I think you can give me some of your time without having to go through the processes, wouldn’t you agree?”
Steve: “Fine. Coffee?”
Sienna: “No thank you, I don’t drink coffee.”
Steve goes to sit down, Sienna still stands, phone in hand as she starts to read something and rolls her eyes….
Steve: “Is there a problem?”
Sienna: “None at all. Have you set up the South Africa trip? Get all the materials we need, have the sites picked out, we are talking a big issue here for Vogue and a huge humanitarian relief in my home country, this is a huge deal for me, Steve.”
Steve: “Before I continue, you killed it at the Met Gala.”
Sienna: “Thank you, I thought I looked quite regal and angelic, I know I was one of the best dressed and had rave reviews on my wardrobe.”
Steve: “You did, made Vogue proud and you have really not only made quite the impact on the public eye, you have also ruffled a few feathers. I know it’s none of my business what you do in your personal life, I simply want you to think things through before you dive in headfirst into whatever it is you think this is.”
She slowly turns, arching an eyebrow, curious about what he is leading to…..
Sienna: “What are we talking about here?”
Steve: “These humanitarian relief efforts are noble and very inspiring; they are certainly going to make you the darling of the world and publications like this will have the exclusives. See, Sienna, I’m a smart man when it comes to capitalizing on what is hot and let’s be honest what you are doing is hot BUT dating a married man is not doing you any favors.”
Sienna: “You’re right.”
Steve: “Of course I am….”
Sienna: “…. My private life is none of your business.”
Steve: “Sienna, you may think I’m an asshole but what I am doing is looking out for OUR best interests here. OUR… not mine or yours. We stand to make millions off this, you are already the highest grossing model in the world, a World Champion in wrestling, a humanitarian, what I am telling you is there’s opportunity here.”
Sienna: “What you are telling me is how to live my life and that is not going to bloody happen, Steve.”
Steve: “Hold on, that is not what I am telling you to do, what I am saying is be careful. You have an opportunity to be the greatest and most iconic figure in pop culture. They will remember you forever because this doesn’t need to end. Your beauty will age and in time the modeling and wrestling career will be over, your legacy will not and that is why you need to listen to me instead of getting angry because I feel you are making a mistake.”
She shakes her head and finally sits across from him, placing her phone on the desk and crossing her arms….
Sienna: “Don’t you think I have already heard this from FOX News, CNN, the local affiliates? Every Tom, Dick and Harry with an opinion. I save hundreds of animals, yet I’m a devil because I’m dating Chris Cannon. It doesn’t matter what I do. Even Robin Roberts drilled me….”
Steve: “… yes she did BUT you kept your composure and answered ALL her questions precise and truthful. Walking out of that interview made your stance stronger so I think that maybe you need to have a full cover story on this humanitarian relief in ALL Vogue magazines throughout the world and tell YOUR story, let them hear from you and Cannon.”
Sienna: “Are you serious?”
Steve: “Very serious. Today you have the unveiling of the new models that were selected from the search, now we both know on a good day I wouldn’t put them on the cover of the Enquirer let alone any fashion magazine. The press though that has been given to this, the reaction on the social media, the positive feedback, this can put us at the very top. The Beauty Factory, Vogue, FOR THE PEOPLE!”
She cracks a smirk, biting her bottom lip…..
Sienna: “So this is all I need. This will allow me to say my side of the story. With the event tonight, I will make sure that everyone watches and understands what we do is For the People. The Youth Center is starting construction, you still didn’t answer me about South Africa?”
Steve: “Have I ever let you down?”
Sienna: “Well….”
Steve: “Okay, don’t answer that. It is all in order, it will be a huge deal and I want to coincide it with Rise to Greatness, that event in July. So, what does that mean?”
Sienna: “I need to be in the Main Event.”
Steve: “Precisely, being the World Champion will only make this trip even more powerful behind the meaning. I already talked to Laura, I have the best trainers, facilities at your disposal. Use them, we cannot have any hiccups. You do understand what is at stake? Want the For The People Movement become World Wide?”
Sienna: “Yes.”
Steve: “Then listen closely and allow me to help you.”
Hesitantly, she nods, knowing that while Steve Bain is a pig, he is a man who knows how to succeed, he is a star maker, someone that understands how to promote, there is nothing beyond the reach of Steve Bain and with the power Sienna has amassed it is a winning combination. She looks at her watch and grabs her iPhone….
Sienna: “I need to head over to the Beauty Factory. Good talk.’
Steve: “Definitely. Can I ask you a personal question?”
Sienna: “No.”
She turns to walk away….
Steve: “Is this guy really worth it?”
Sienna stops dead in her tracks and glances over her shoulder….
Sienna: “I would give the world up for him.”
Steve: “I see.”
Sienna: “We’ll be in touch.”
Steve: “Definitely.”
The Angel turns and walks out as Steve Bain looks on, reaching over to his phone and making a call, he waits a little before a voice answers on the other line….
Voice: “Yes sir?”
Steve: “I need a favor, I have a job for you, and it starts right now, are you interested?”
Voice: “Price?”
Steve: “Name it.”
Mr. Bain waits for an answer from the other side of the line….
The Beauty Factory
Los Angeles, CA.
An Hour Later
Sienna walks in looking beautiful as ever. Laura is dressed in a white suit, black blouse and matching peep toe pumps, her nails polished red and long hair straightened and hanging down. She has a clipboard in front of her, there are ten models in the other room getting ready for their debut as the Truelove Twins are with LEO, they are in black leggings and red halter tops, matching heels, their nails polished black and both look stunning. Jennifer Helms is also there in a peach suit, white heels and a white blouse, her long hair hanging down and nails polished a baby pink. Willow Wilkes and Jason Knight are present along with Ricky Octavius both men in black Armani suits, Willow in black pants, a pink top and cut jacket, matching open toed heels, nails a glossy color as Laura prepares for the introduction of all the models. There are news outlets from local affiliates there along with TMZ, CNN and other cable networks.
Sienna steps into the office, Laura is checking the board twice, she looks a bit nervous….
Sienna: “Is everything alright?”
Laura: “Where the hell have you been, darling!?”
Sienna: “I was seeing Steve Bain.”
Laura: “Why? Didn’t I tell you to never go see that slime ball by yourself.”
Sienna: “Yes, you did but Laura, I needed to talk to him about the South African trip and other ventures if we are going to get this to work. We need his promotional machine, you know that.”
Laura: “Yes, I do but at what price?”
Sienna: “Come on Laura, this is our chance to be heroes. Look at all the people out there in front of this building ready to cheer these models that normally wouldn’t be even looked upon on the street, let alone made up. I mean, look at them….”
Laura chuckles….
Laura: “They are pretty pathetic.”
Sienna: “That one girl…. Rosita….”
Laura: “Martinez.”
Sienna: “Yes, she’s big as a house.”
Laura: “Oh, you’re cruel, darling.”
Sienna: “I’m just being truthful. What about…. Dominique?”
Laura: “Yes, she has down syndrome.”
Sienna: “So now we are the Special Modeling Olympics?”
Laura: “You’re going to hell.”
Sienna: “No, I’m going to heaven because all these women are getting a chance to do something they will never get to do again, and you know what happens after tonight? We BUILD a trend, that will force other modeling agencies to follow suit and if they do not, we will look like the innovators and leaders of a business that will give you a chance whether pretty or not. Just another initiative For the People. See? This is why we need Steve. Why we need all the help we can get. After tonight, we will look like heroes.”
Laura nods and smirks….
Laura: “You’re right. The photographer is here.”
Sienna: “There a re ton of photographers out there Laura.”
Laura: “No, ours. Lancelot Crane.”
Sienna: “Why is he here?”
Laura: “Because Lancelot is under contract with Vogue, that is why. Let’s just get this over with. I am going to meet with the new models, I want you to make sure that everything is in order. Mingle with people if need be darling, you’re good at that.”
Sienna: “Fine, I will.”
Laura winks at her angel and walks out to the makeup room to do one last check on all the girls before she introduces them all. Sienna stands there watching, she sees Jennifer, Ricky, the Twins, LEO, Willow and Jason King in there with her wen the door opens and Crane walks in with his equipment….
Sienna: “Good, I was just leaving.”
Crane: “Don’t on my account, you don’t have to leave, I mean really, you don’t. I’m sure that my mere presence disgusts you and your new beau would hate to learn of our drug and alcohol filled night where I fucked your brains out.”
Sienna: “I was drunk and high, thanks to you.”
Crane: “No, you were perfectly lucid. Do we need to fight? I mean, I already had my ass kicked by that LEO fellow and the Twins.”
Her eyes widen while he sets up his equipment….
Sienna: “Wait…. What?”
Crane: “Oh? You didn’t know that your two little helpers set up a photoshoot with me at my house and proceeded to attack me? Well, they just kicked me while I was down, LEO was the one that kicked my ass and what was I guilty of? Making art.”
Sienna: “You make an asshole out of everyone through art, sweetie. I don’t know if I should thank or yell at them. I would ask if you’re okay but it seems like you are so I will disperse of the pleasantries.”
Crane: “Right, of course. Look, I don’t want to be here, I am in the business of beauty not interpretations and right now what I see is a bastardization of our industry.”
Sienna slowly reaches into her pocket and hits record on her phone, she then nonchalantly places it on the desk so it can cover the conversation between her and Crane….
Sienna: “A bastardization of our industry? An interpretation and not beauty? What the hell are you talking about?”
Crane: “What I am talking about is this nonsense the Beauty Factory is pulling. It is a simple publicity stunt so people think that anyone can be a model when clearly they cannot.”
Sienna: “What are you saying? That these women we picked to showcase and unveil to the fashion world are not worthy to chase their own dreams and become a symbol of beauty for others to see and enjoy? Giving promise that this ugly and disgusting world we have lived in for so long can finally have something to be proud of and not the same cookie cutter practices we are known for? What we are doing Mr. Crane is breaking the mold here, we are finally giving THE People a chance to be a part of something so special and groundbreaking. Those women are going to make fashion history.”
Crane: “Of course they are. What you and Laura are doing to these women is a joke Sienna. They wouldn’t ever make the cover of Children’s Digest let alone a Fashion publication like Bazaar or even Maxim for crying out loud. How long have I known you Sienna? 9-10 years now? The very first time I laid eyes on you I knew you were special; this is beauty even if your personality is shit.”
Sienna: “My personality? Maybe it’s how you make an eighteen-year-old girl feel on her first photo shoot by stripping her naked in front of the camera to satisfy your own jollies and call it art. Are you really going to stand there and preach to me? These young women we hand-picked out of THOUSANDS who were hopefuls that will get their shot again to be a part of this great industry, how dare you Mr. Crane insult those women like that!”
He laughs it off, shaking his head at the overreaction of Sienna Swann, playing it off as he can see right through her game. He continues to set up the camera equipment. Sienna is acting, she took the opportune time to make another publicity stunt, making her look like a hero to those who watch …
Crane: “You really are a very good actress.”
Sienna: “You think this is an act? I care about these people and I want them to succeed. I know this is just another paycheck to you but to me it’s building dreams, I don’t know if you have paid too much attention lately but that is what I do, I have always been For The People.”
Crane: “For the People? Sienna you have been about yourself, nothing more. Look at your past.”
Sienna: “Yes, and I am ashamed of it which is why I will do all I can to make things right for others and use what I have to give back.”
Crane: “What the fuck is this, huh? An informercial? I get it, you are this and that. We are done, I need to finish putting my equipment together, God only knows I have to use a wide lens to cover some of your new “models”….”
She stands over him, he looks at her feet and slowly makes his way right up to her face as she brandishes a scowl, Sienna’s blue eyes narrow….
Sienna: “Get out.”
Crane: “You can’t kick me out, I’m under contract.”
Sienna: “I don’t care, get out. You are not covering the most important day of these women’s lives.”
Crane: “Sienna, I have already been through enough lately, so I am going to kindly ask you to back the fuck off before one of us get hurt.”
Sienna: “Are you threatening me?”
Crane: “Call it what you want, now shut your cocksucker and let me get my equipment together…..”
Sienna: “GET OUT!”
He quickly stands up and goes to grab her neck but stops right as he reaches her skin barely touching it….
Sienna: “Go ahead, you are still getting out.”
Crane: “Don’t push me Sienna. You have no idea what I am capable of doing.”
Sienna: “Then show me.”
Crane: “All this for a bunch of fatties and retards? Have you lost your mind?”
Sienna: “No…. I opened my eyes and know what I have to do.”
Crane: “Let me guess…. For the People?”
Sienna: “Yes.”
Crane starts to laugh as he shakes his head, that is where Sienna throws a slap connecting with his cheek surprising Crane as he stumbles back a little, holding his face, he then lunges at Sienna but before he can get to her Jennifer Helms cuts him off and pushes him back….
Jennifer: “No Mr. Crane!”
Crane: “Get out of my way Jennifer!”
Jennifer: “You don’t want to do this!”
Sienna reaches over to her phone and stops recording. She then embeds it and sends it to TMZ anonymously, pressing send. She places her phone back into her pocket, Laura walks in….
Laura: ”What the hell is going on!?”
Sienna: “This piece of shit is not cooperating.”
Crane: “I get paid to do a fucking job when this is not even my element and you expect me to be happy because I am taking pictures of some losers you deem models!? No, I am not doing this! Find your own photographer!”
Laura: “Wait you cannot leave.”
Crane: “The hell I can.”
He starts packing his stuff, Jennifer bends down and hands him the lens cover, he turns to her and nods….
Crane: “Thank you Jennifer.”
Jennifer: “Mr. Crane, don’t leave.”
Crane: “Too late….”
He gets his things together when Laura gets an alert on her phone, so does Sienna, Jennifer. Crane looks on…..
Crane: “What the hell is the matter?”
Laura presses play after TMZ posted the video, suddenly it finds itself on YouTube, the heading on TMZ, “Sienna Swann Defends New “Models” Shows True Colors”. Laura’s eyes widen, her attention turns to Sienna who’s blue eyes glare at Crane. Laura talks in her headset…..
Laura: “Security….”
Crane: “What is going on here!?”
LEO and security walk in, Crane’s eyes almost bulge out of his sockets as Laura sighs….
Laura: “Get him out of my building!”
Crane: “Wait!? What!?”
LEO: “Let’s go.”
Crane: “Don’t you fucking touch me!”
The other two large security detail snatch up Crane and drag him out as he kicks and screams, once they go out the door the crowd cheers obviously seeing the footage. Jennifer smiles and shakes her head walking out….
Sienna: “What is so funny?”
Jennifer: “You just set that guy up.”
Sienna: “He did it to himself.”
Jennifer: “Yeah…. Of course, he did.”
She walks out of the office, leaving Laura and Sienna alone. The Fashionista folds her arms trying to understand why this happened….
Laura: “Why?”
Sienna: “We needed good publicity for this.”
Laura: “Again, at what sacrifice?”
Sienna: “Whatever it takes. Now come, we have ten new “models” to introduce. This event is even more important and if there was any doubt on our intentions? I just quelled them.”
Laura: “And Crane?”
Sienna: “He’ll get over it.”
Laura looks on a bit concerned but trusts her Angel. She nods and leaves behind Sienna. After a few moments, Laura and Sienna go out to introduce the models to a standing ovation as many have watched the footage with her and Crane. Her eyes glance over at Laura who waves and smiles taking in all the good press from the event…..
And showing the importance of giving everyone a chance ALL For The People.
EPILOGUE: SECRETS WE KEEP
Sienna had gone out of her way a few weeks back to get a hold of Laura Steinbeck’s daughters, feeling like she wanted the woman who mentored her to have a chance at happiness by trying to bring them back together. Lennox and Reese are both interesting women that come from a different mold. Laura has always stayed busy with her work which for the Fashionista it really helps her cope with not having any family. She was never married, had multiple lovers for a long time, she even had a son Cody that committed suicide years ago. Sienna didn’t know much of the history of Laura; she never spoke of her family. All she knew was that Laura had a sister that lived in Boca Raton, Florida and never really visited much. Sienna wanted to help Laura as she was really starting to be recognized for all her heard work in the industry and become the premiere manager in the SCW.
What the Angel didn’t know how Laura would accept her gesture, if she would be angry that Sienna went behind her back and did this. Earlier in the day they had the altercation at the Beauty Factory where the footage caught Sienna jump right in the face of Lancelot Crane and that made waves, many saw that Sienna was an empowering woman taking charge though most of that was an act, the angel stated her case and made good on a situation. Sienna sat at home later that evening, Chris was going to come over later, she had invited the daughters of Laura over, whether they would come over or not was the key. She sat at her computer, still in her dress but this time barefoot, taking off her heels, looking at some old news….
Hollywood Hills, CA.
Later that Night.
As she continued to search, the news came on about the incident that happened earlier today, she turned to look at the TV and smirk. Milo, her adorable Jack Russell Terrier sat next to her watching with his head tilted, as she watched her iPhone rang, it was Bree Lancaster, she answered….
Bree: “Sweet baby Jesus, tell me I am NOT seeing this!?”
Sienna: “You are.”
Bree: “Bitch, I love you!”
Sienna: “I love you too.”
Bree: “How? I mean after what he pulled Friday?”
Sienna: “Exactly. I hit record on my phone and took the video while Lancelot was running his arrogant mouth like the prick he is. Not only was that great press at the event, now suddenly I’m the Angel again, forget I am with a married man who happens to still be married to Kelcey Wallace of all people.”
Bree laughs on the other line….
Bree: “You know, this made my day.”
Sienna: “I knew it would.”
Bree: “Sienna, serious as a heart attack babe, be careful, that guy is dangerous, he is not all there.”
Sienna: “I will, I promise you that, alright?”
Bree: “Okay… you rock. I’ll call you tomorrow, get some rest.”
Sienna: “You too, sweetie.”
The gorgeous Swann hangs up and turns her attention back to the computer. She starts looking up articles from ten years ago while the TV continues to tell the story of what happened earlier, she sees that the YouTube Video has a million hits, she reads some of the comments below and smiles, feeling like she accomplished what she thought would be impossible, to get the public firmly on her side. She flips through stories and sees Ryan Cody Lane. She found a few clippings on him and began to read; he was the son of Laura Steinbeck who committed suicide. Laura never spoke of him; she really didn’t speak much about any of her children. Reese Lane though the younger of the two daughters had talked about Cody a little, at least mentioned him which had caught Sienna’s attention…..
Sienna: “Ryan Cody Lane, prominent model and baseball player shoots himself at point blank range. Ryan, who went by the name Cody was the son of Fashion Designer Laura Steinbeck and Oil Tycoon, Leonard Lane. There was a suicide note that he left blaming his depression and cause of death on his demanding mother and her overbearing as he called it demeanor toward him, always making him feel like he was a failure. Laura found…… Laura found the body?”
Her eyes widen, covering her mouth as she continued to read the article, showing a picture of a younger Laura Steinbeck trying to push the camera away. As Sienna kept reading the doorbell rang, Milo jumped off her lap and ran to the door. The barefoot Sienna hopped off her chair and walked over to the door, she opened it to see Reese standing there in a green halter top, ripped jeans and wedge sandals, her nails polished white and long hair in a half ponytail, a very attractive woman with numerous tattoos on her….
Sienna: “Reese?”
Reese: “I text you that I was coming over.”
Sienna: “Right… right. I’m sorry sweetie it’s been a really busy day as you can see, I’m still dressed to attend a dinner party.”
Reese: “You look stunning.”
Sienna: “Thank you…. Please, come in.”
Reese steps in, looking around at the large house surrounded by glass walls seeing the entire LA Basin, it was out of a Hollywood movie….
Reese: “This is amazing.”
Sienna: “It took me a long time to get here.”
Reese: “Doesn’t matter, you made it.”
Sienna: “I did. Would you like a drink?”
Reese: “Please, red wine if you have some.”
Sienna: “Sure.”
Though Sienna tries not to drink anymore, she has alcohol in her bar in case of occasions like this. She has been very good though at following those rules. She takes out a glass and pours Reese a glass of wine, she then pours herself a glass of sparkling cider. Sienna hands it to her and they toast….
Sienna: “Get comfortable, please.”
Reese: “Thank you.”
Reese takes off her sandals and folds her feet under her legs while sitting on the couch, she looks a little timid and nervous, Sienna sits next to her and gently places her hand on Reese’s thigh….
Sienna: “It’s okay. I am glad you came. I want us to get to know one another, I think it’s important that you and Laura speak. Lennox as well, whatever I can do to help in the process I will.”
Reese: “Thank you but I don’t know if the relationship with my mother can ever be fixed. There are some deep wounds and I don’t even think time will heal them.”
Sienna: “Do you want to talk about it, sweetie?”
Reese: “Not really. I know you want ask me, so go ahead.”
Sienna: “Only if you feel comfortable.”
Reese: “Go ahead and ask me.”
Sienna tries to read Reese, see if she is testing her and only saying it to be cordial and not rude. She didn’t want to chase Reese away, that was the last thing Sienna intended to do, just getting her there was a huge undertaking as she takes a deep breath and tries to comfort her….
Sienna: “You and Laura had a falling out, right?”
Reese: “Yeah, we all did.”
Sienna: “Ryan?”
Reese: “He went by Cody. Yeah, he was the reason this family fell apart and our relationship with Laura went south. We hardly talk anymore, she used to call us all the time and now she barely even acknowledges we are alive.”
Sienna: “Do you blame her?”
Reese: “Not at all, I get it. Sienna you see a side of Laura that most don’t get to see. She is passionate about her work; she has problem balancing it between us and fashion. Lennox, Cody and I all felt like we were competing for her attention and love. It was hard for us to see how she treated her job and then us. It was almost like we were forced to live that life and made into models. She was the best at her job, still is.”
Sienna: “What happened?”
Reese: “She pushed us too far. Lennox seemed to enjoy it the most, she loves attention hence why the YouTube channel she runs. Lennox will never change. Cody and I were Twins. That was different, we both went hard at it, too hard to be honest and Laura pushed us, she kept pushing harder until Cody was finally ready to snap. He didn’t think he was good enough for Laura, having such high goals, he was right, it did seem like she didn’t accept us as the best. There was always a measuring stick, someone prettier or Laura pushed us to be even better so that our positions were safe.”
Sienna sips her sparkling water, tilting her head and listening….
Reese: “Then one day she screamed at Cody in front of a bunch of models, talked down to him, said some really nasty things. He couldn’t take it anymore and he went home. After that, later that night Laura and I showed up later, I heard a scream coming from his room, it was Laura, when I ran upstairs, she held me back and wouldn’t allow me to see him. There was so much blood…..”
Reese sips her wine….
Reese: “… so much fucking blood, man.”
Sienna: “I’m so sorry, I am sure that she felt bad about what had happened.”
Reese: “Felt bad? Sienna, she killed my brother, her lofty goals were too much for anyone to handle especially him. This is a guy who was a kind spirit, he would take his shirt off his back to help anyone, like what you are doing now with this For the People movement, a true compassionate soul. He would do whatever he could to make people comfortable or tutor them in the business even when he was young himself. I understand you put Laura on this pedestal and think she can do no wrong, but my mother was an evil bitch who cared about money, power, prestige and appearances, she was shallow. It surprises me someone like you is with her….”
What Reese doesn’t know is that Sienna exemplifies and defines the exact same traits Laura Steinbeck is. She suddenly starts to have a small bout with guilt, looking down at her glass of sparkling water, the reflection of the angel bouncing off the top of the glass….
Sienna: “I am so sorry for what you have been through, I could never imagine anything like that happening to my sister. Reese, I want you to approach this with an open mind. You’re young, beautiful, smart, charismatic and a lot like Laura in that aspect. You even have her looks. I’m not saying you are Laura; all I am asking is that you give her the chance to make things right. I can see her pain and she is too proud a woman to ever tell me the story you just did.”
Reese: “She didn’t even attend his funeral….. she had a fashion show in Paris.”
Sienna’s eyes again widen, swallowing some of her spit back, not knowing what to say as Reese drank the rest of her wine….
Sienna: “I have more wine.
Reese: “I need to drive home.”
Sienna: “I have 7 bedrooms in this house and four couches. Stay. There is a nice little organic place at the bottom of the hill, I can order something if you are hungry.”
Reese: “I am famished.”
Sienna: “So you’ll stay?”
Reese nods as Sienna smiles, she grabs her glass and pours her another before grabbing the menu and handing it to her, looking over. Sienna grabs her phone and walks over to the sliding glass door, thinking about what Reese had just told her about Laura. She takes a deep breath and is about to text Laura but doesn’t, instead she turns back around and goes to Reese….
A Few Hours Later
Reese is asleep on the couch, Sienna pulls a blanket over her, Milo lays next to the young daughter of Steinbeck….
Sienna: “Really Milo? Whore.”
As she looks down at almost the splitting image of Laura Steinbeck, her phone starts to buzz, she picks it up and sits at the foot of the couch where Reese sleeps, she wasn’t going to wake up anytime soon, drinking almost an entire bottle of wine herself….
Sienna: “Hello?”
Laura: “Darling, you were a frigging hit today!”
Sienna: “Laura? Have you been drinking sweetie?”
Laura: “Had a couple of martinis, was watching Casablanca, I love that movie. I have seen it, twenty times maybe and it gets better. I was thinking about you and how mad I was earlier and then I realized that everything you do is for us.”
Sienna: “That’s true.”
Laura: “I love you so much, I don’t know where I would be without you, Sienna. You are the daughter that I wish I had years ago.”
Sienna turns to Reese who sleeps….
Sienna: “You have real daughters, Laura.”
Laura: “Darling, they abandoned this old woman. I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me.”
Sienna: “If you could change things and turn back the clock, what would you do different?”
There was a pause on the phone before Laura spoke….
Laura: “I should go to bed, I’m a little drunk. I just wanted to call you and say that I am so damn proud of what we have done. Not in a million years could I have hoped for this. Sharing it with you is especial. I don’t have anyone else.”
Sienna: “Yes you do Laura. There are people who love you.”
Laura: “Yeah, well I have to go.”
Sienna: “Laura….”
Laura: “….. yes darling?”
Sienna was ready to ask her about Cody, it was at the tip of her tongue, the words ready to slip from the lip when she catches herself and sighs…..
Sienna: “Goodnight and sleep well.”
Laura: “You too darling.”
They hang up, Sienna stands up and lets her hair down, frustrated and waiting for Chris Cannon to show up. She walks over to her bar and pours herself a glass of wine, she shouldn’t do it, staying sober to her is important. Walking outside, looking out at the beautiful lights in the LA Basin, she thinks of everything from SCW and the huge challenges ahead of her to what she did today to Crane, the deal with Steve Bain and now this with Laura. She stares at the glass, trying to fight the urge, slowly bringing the glass the to her mouth and tasting it’s sweetness…..
Before closing her eyes and feeling a few tears trickling down her cheeks.

PART II
CNN Correspondents, Chris Cuomo, Brooke Baldwin and Kaitlin Collins on Cuomo Primetime. Kaitlin poses the question about the homeless and starvation. Chris glances at Brooke who starts to speak….
Brooke: “What Kaitlin is saying, holds true. How is anyone going to convince the people she has helped that Sienna is doing this for publicity? Sooner or later the money runs out. Listen to these numbers, in 2011 her net worth was 11 Million, for a model that is a lot, probably up there with the highest as the normal is around 5-6 million. In 2014 her net worth was LESS than a Million, after losing endorsements, being blackballed from Fashion, her only income was wrestling. In the last almost five years since, her net worth is now up to 67 Million. That shows me she was dedicated in fixing her image, willing to take those four or five years on the chin and build her way back up.”
Kaitlin: “Brooke brought up a story that many women can look at and feel entitled, vested in their success. She left fashion for wrestling and now has created a brand. Are we all squeaky clean? No, no one is. I think what Sienna is doing now? Great, and look at the Beauty Factory in Los Angeles, the ONLY Modeling agency that allows anyone a chance to be a model.”
Brooke: “If she is doing this to simply get attention, mission accomplished. After all we have seen in the last few years with the way the world works and all we covered, I can’t see someone polarizing as her using charity as a platform to fix her image. I think we forget about the human spirit. It’s what makes Sienna so special. Look at her composure and honesty when interviewed by Robin Roberts. She was nervous.”
Kaitlin: “absolutely she was. She was caught off guard by her questioning but was very poised in her answers.”
Brooke: “Yes and she was HONEST. Did some of her answers bother others? Did they not sit well with a few? Yes, but she is trying to be transparent and while we could go along with what wrestling fans think of her, is that fair to scope? A group of individuals that feel she doesn’t fit in their mold?”
Kaitlin: “Maybe not even their mold, more that these days it’s hard to gauge what the public wants. She is doing all these good deeds and then gets lambasted on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. On the flips side though, there is a lot of positive coming out of this for Sienna and I think the news outlets and the media have fallen in love with this woman and her approach toward all of this, a professional and always a having a great attitude.”
Chris Cuomo cuts in….
Cuomo: “Yes, I agree, we do forget about the human spirit but how can one base completely hate her? And let’s be honest, Kelcey Wallace is a model citizen, she has opened the Parkinson’s “A Perfect Cure” Foundation, she is all over talk TV and radio, we have even had her on here before, one of the most humble and pleasant individuals we will ever meet and now her husband is with Sienna? Do wrestling fans despise Sienna because of that? There are theories out there she wants to be Kelcey. Even in her own admittance. Who used to do all these charities in the past to the point she found herself in the hospital from exhaustion? Kelcey Wallace, now we see Sienna doing the same. Are wrestling fans trying to tell the rest of the world that behind the angelic wings lies a devil?”
Kaitlin: “Wrestling fans these days are fickle and let’s be honest here Chris, whatever character she decided to play on TV that is one thing, we are talking about a humanitarian effort spearheaded by a very powerful woman sending a very powerful message to other young women, if she can do it than so can anyone else. If Sienna’s intention was to amass power and become not a public but a world figure now? Then she succeeded.”
Brooke: “I have to agree with Kaitlin even if what is happening right now with Cannon’s is conceivably wrong.”
Cuomo nods….
Cuomo: “Okay fair enough. So then do you think that you two are thinking exactly what she wants everyone to think?”
Brooke: “That is?”
Kaitlin: “What exactly?”
Cuomo: “Sienna Swann is a TRUE Angel?”
As Chris poses the question, they cut to a commercial break….

HEAVENLY FAME
The Scene Opens….
Parliament Hill, colloquially known as The Hill, is an area of Crown land on the southern banks of the Ottawa River in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Its Gothic revival suite of buildings is the home of the Parliament of Canada and has architectural elements of national symbolic importance. Parliament Hill attracts approximately 3 million visitors each year. Law enforcement on Parliament Hill and in the parliamentary precinct is the responsibility of the Parliamentary Protective Services. Originally the site of a military base in the 18th and early 19th centuries, development of the area into a governmental precinct began in 1859, after Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as the Capital of the Province of Canada. Following a number of extensions to the parliament and departmental buildings and a fire in 1916 that destroyed the Centre Block, Parliament Hill took on its present form with the completion of the Peace Tower in 1927. Since 2002, an extensive $1 billion renovation and rehabilitation project has been underway throughout all the precinct’s buildings; work is not expected to be complete until after 2028.
Here is where we find Sienna Swann, the Heavenly Angel of professional wrestling and the Interim World Champion. Fresh off a victory with Bree Lancaster as her partner a few weeks ago against Peyton Rice and John Goddard, Sienna found herself waiting for a contract signature at Taking Hold of the Flame where the two titles, the Interim and active World Championship would come together was one against Syren, the winner would not only be the World Champion, they would also get a one way ticket to the Main Event or at least have the inside track to appear at Rise to Greatness and with Sienna vowing to be there and face the winner of the Taking Hold of the Flame Battle Royal?
Sienna has all full intentions to be there. After the contract signing broke out in a brawl thanks to Kennedy Street, Dark Fantasy and the Beauty Factory, it was still set and Sienna would get her chance. Now though she would team with her lover, Chris Cannon against Christy Matthews and Ravyn Taylor, now known as Infamous. Once Sienna heard she would be facing Ravyn, a smile formed on her face and now looks forward to competing against the woman that defeated her three times in 2017 including Rise to Greatness, things have changed since then. Wearing black pleather pans and peep toe pumps, a sky-blue halter top with black leather jacket, her long blonde hair slicked back into a high ponytail and her nails polished a sky blue, the gorgeous Sienna holds the World Championship over her shoulder on the courtyard of the Parliament building. Laura Steinbeck is there along with the Twins in white suits standing off to the side, Laura in a blue on.
REC:
The recording begins, Sienna takes a second to look at the World Championship before turning toward the camera and speaking in her sexy and sensual South African accent…..
“I stand here on Parliament Hill, where the leaders of Canada come to make the most important decisions to their country, fitting considering there has been a lot made lately in the SCW. The good people of this country trust in the governing body, therefore they are always happy, why you never hear about cruelty and maleficence across our northern border. A true meaning of what it is to put the people first. The beginning of this year saw an injustice that was rightfully fixed when my World Championship was stolen from me at Making Things Right. Since then I have endured what many would call a topsy-turvy ride in lieu of making it to this point where I now stand as the “Interim” World Champion, a stand in? I think not and yet we all know that I am the ONLY true Champion that holds this title right now because unlike the woman who was NEVER the champion to begin with, thanks to hand me downs and power abuse, I have successfully defended the title, matter of fact I am actually wrestling FULL Time. I have had to endure the jealous acts of Kennedy Street as a referee trying to ruin my five star match with Bree Lancaster, kicking me in the face not once but twice first then, taking away the right for someone to be named number one contender and then again at Retribution inside the Tactical Warfare, denying me the chance to pin Syren myself. The funny thing is, when it comes to your Angel, these dastardly acts always seem to find a way of working themselves out….
For the real never need proving to the phonies.
As not only did I defeat Kennedy Street for this title, I then defended it against the man who pinned the “other” World Champion and laid claim to a Championship that was ALWAYS mine in Owen Cruze. Unfortunately, we live in a time of criticism and sensitivity, a land that will always judge those by small actions that would never outweigh the positivity one brings to our community and those in need. Yes, Chris Cannon and I are lovers, yes, we ARE together and that is not going to change. The hatred, the bitterness and outright threats we have received for being in love is preposterous and uncalled for. The last few weeks all we have done is come out and compete. What did I do to deserve any of this angst or verbal attacks? What did Chris do to warrant run-ins by Kennedy Street and Aaron Blackbourne the past few Breakdowns, his own nephew attacked him and does anyone scream bloody murder or point out the obvious?
No, because the typical wrestling fans and those who call themselves Superstars in the SCW have fallen into the same trap that we have always seen, that of hypocrisy. We choose who is right and wrong, the standard no longer exists but will that deter your Heavenly Angel from giving back to those in need? Will that stop my Humanitarian efforts? Will it negate the good I have done? Ask Kelcey Wallace who is due to have her baby anytime now and she will tell you that while I maybe with her soon to be ex-husband, the fact remains, my contributions to her cause in Parkinson’s Disease WILL save lives including her own.
How is that for an encore?
DID any of you stop and think about what I am doing is trying to make a BETTER tomorrow with my actions today? Do I see any of your so-called fan favorites or socialites going out of their way to help out their communities? While they are out at the gym taking selfies in the mirror, I am feeding the hungry, while they are posting song lyrics on Twitter, the Beauty Factory is opening the doors for anyone to live out their dream of being a model. They bitch and complain about injustices on Social Media, tell that to the families separated at the border I helped reunite and yet what we see instead is every critic come out and pretend they know a thing or two about what my true intentions are?
Why Chris and I are together?
I have very simple answers to those questions….
Kindness and Love.
Is it out of the realm of possibility that I actually want to do something nice? I want to make up for the mistakes I made early in my career. That maybe I realized one day while laying face down on a hospital bed without having any feeling in my hands and feet I could relate to what it is like being helpless? Instead this company gives people like Ravyn Taylor and Christy Matthews, Carte Blanche to do whatever they desire including stealing the name of a faction that was all Lucas Knight, this I know for I was once engaged to his brother. Did the marketing boys for the SCW run out of ideas or was this pure laziness on the part of these two harlots?
If you want to see what is wrong with wrestling and even society today, look no further than these two and there is your answer. Am I really the big or even lesser of two evils or are you just misjudging Sienna Swann because it is easy to side with someone like Kelcey Wallace?
Ask yourselves this and then you will see what I bring is more than these two will ever. I am about everyone; they are about themselves and it was more blatant on display at the last Breakdown.”
The Twins in the background nod. They know the struggles that Sienna Swann had with Ravyn Taylor back in 2017. No one though knows better than Sienna when Ravyn humiliated her in three matches, costing her the Women’s and Television Championship. Since then though, what Sienna Swann has done is elevate her game and those matches actually helped mold her into the champion she is today. The gorgeous Swann turns back to the camera and speaks…
“When this World Championship was stolen from me, it was Christy Matthews who delivered the last blow, she was the one that planted me with a DDT as Syren covered that other piece of human waste, Cassidy Carter. I wasn’t even pinned for this belt, instead the match was marred with interference but you see, something greater was on display that night, the mental weakness and credibility of Christy Matthews, a once great World Champion, Adrenaline title holder and a woman that many came to respect as a mother, wife and role model. Last year alone, she fought for her daughter, she stood against Dark Fantasy and Ravyn Taylor, she vowed to show the world that for once in her life, it was about standing up for herself, unfortunately that has been the script to the career of Christy Matthews the last few years, become a great champion, show the glimpse of what this woman can do in the ring and then follow it up with piss poor decisions that remind us why she will ALWAYS be a follower and simply exist in this sport and NEVER a leader like Sienna Swann. Tell me something Christy, does it get old being the lap dog to someone as cowardly as Syren who stands against everything you stood for once? Has the taste of futility replaced the hunger for success? Is this the type of mother you want to be?
The kind that if you cannot beat them, you join them?
How sad, pathetic and tragic.
You could have made a stand as a TRUE woman to this sport, backing up every word you spew instead of coming off like the charlatan you made yourself to be. What compelled you to attack me and yes, I have sat patiently waiting for my turn, I didn’t find it a need to come after you after costing me the World Championship, I didn’t require some sort of revenge as holding this title? THAT is my payback and there is nothing you can do about it now no matter what happens on Breakdown. Is this where you act as the attack mutt for Syren and try to soften me up? Is this where you show your daughter that her mother fights….
For absolutely nothing?
You are the reason these people NEED someone like me. In the age of women empowerment, you have showed us that it is okay NOT to buy in but instead sell out after giving up so easily. There was a time when you were actually respected, when people looked at Christy Matthews as a pioneer where there’s no shortage in speech when you constantly remind us of what you have done in wrestling while sitting on your laurels and doing the exact same thing every other quitter does and not the strong woman claiming to be. You have made my job that much easier. This is an age where young woman like your daughter and even Ravyn’s poor hell spawn need a role model, someone that they can look after in hopes they do not turn out like either one of you. I would hate to see her become someone like their mother, a wishy washy, anemic and fragile fool who abandons her cause in order to abdicate her stance to the “Winning side” and how long did that last Christy? A chance at a championship you couldn’t even win. Was the glitter of gold too much for your desperate measures that you rather cost me mine and become another cog in the Dark Fantasy machine when at the end of the day behind closed doors they are laughing at you?
Is the title Infamous suddenly supposed to instill fear in the hearts of tag teams around the world when you two will NEVER be seen as the dominant stable of days past, with the same name that made their mark years ago, I wasn’t even in wrestling then and look how far I have come not by being a follower….
Instead an innovator.
By being a trailblazer, something that once, a long time ago in Never Never Land, you were. We have faced before, I have defeated you and then it was my rise, stop and witness what I am now, your superior and it kills you. No one talks about Christy Mathews in the same sentence as Sienna Swann, it isn’t for lack of talent, you are still one of the best in the ring, it is lack of judgment that has made you the pariah in this company and moving forward what we are witnessing is the true deconstruction of what a trendsetter used to be. It’s okay though Christy, I’m here. I am the one that will take it from this moment as we continue into the future. I can be that icon, the empowered symbol for women these days, you have been relieved of your duty and come Breakdown, I will make sure to pay you back for that DDT you gave me at Making Things Right and remind everyone in Dark Fantasy including the faux champion, it doesn’t matter how many people she surrounds herself with, at the end of the day….
Talent always prevails and there is NO ONE more talented and skilled in this ring then the REAL World Champion, Sienna Swann. That is not a “Fairy Tale, it is a FACT.”
Sienna stands there, glancing over at the World Championship, the Parliament House in the background as she is proud to hold that belt and knows just how important this match is especially teaming with Chris Cannon. This is also about momentum walking into Taking Hold of the Flame, the biggest match of her career and a chance at the Main Event to Rise to Greatness capping off the best year of her career dating back to 2018. Sienna turns to Laura who nods, ready to speak about Ravyn, a touchy subject for the Angel….
“Even with Christy Matthews who of course is vying for the “Mother of the Year” Championship, there is no one lesser and more deserving than Ravyn Taylor who let’s state right off the bat, the whole reason we are even at this state is because of Sienna Swann when I broke you and beat the Games Master at her own level, for smart as you are Ravyn, you played the fool even in victory inside the ring, I won and showed why you could be easily broken. The Women’s Championship was going to be used as a symbol for your daughter, the truth in all this sadly, everything you said was all a lie and she knows it. The speech you gave me about being a true representation of what women are in this sport to this day still makes me laugh. I denied you Ravyn the chance to gloat, to show your daughter that you indeed were the role model that she needed to follow and gave her hope that in the light of Heaven, Angels do exist. Do you think I have forgotten what happened between us in 2017? Of course not, your game is pretty predictable these days, while I have evolved into the top athlete in this company, you are still the sam, even inside the cage at Retribution where obviously wanted nothing of me, the chance of relishing in your “triumph” and rub it in I’m sure will be your top priority as it’s all you have. Yes, I have not beaten you one on one but allow me to remind everyone that 2017 was the year of my breakout and in those three matches I learned my faults and corrected them, my record speaks for itself as I have not lost by pinfall or submission since. Were you the 2018 Female Wrestler of the Year? Are you the Iron Angel? Did you last over seventy minutes in Taking Hold of the Flame? No, I believe you were in there maybe 60 seconds. Did you become the World Champion? Defeat Selena Frost in an Iron Woman match?
No….
What you did was nothing more than to try and protect Syren because these days she can’t do it on her own. What happened after 2017, Ravyn? Did you decide it was more comfortable sliding back into the role of sidekick? I understand now, this whole Infamous thing but tell me again what occurred after our last match in 2017?
I ascended and you? Reverting to the cozy and complacent role you’ve always played. There are many here that claim I cannot beat you, I laugh at them, matter of fact, I find it rather amusing that those same people believe we are even on the same level. The Sienna Swann you beat then is not the one you face now. What happened was the trials and tribulations of an Angel, fighting and clawing her way to the top of the Main Event, I stayed my course, but your failure was too great. Instead you set up Kennedy Street and finagled Syren into a World Title match forgetting your own career in the process. Yes, don’t confuse me with Kennedy, tart, I knew all along it was you, Syren isn’t smart enough to come up with that kind of plan let alone put together a couple of sentences. So let me take a wild stab at this, you did it all for love, right?
Is it?
Or maybe behind all that IQ lies a scared little girl who is afraid of being better than Syren? The problem with you Ravyn and it happened against Regan Street recently as she exposed the mighty Bad Bad Girl, outsmarting yourself, in your arrogance and hubris, you’ve become rather sloppy. There was a time where the method to the madness won matches, I know because they worked against me until the very end when I took what you couldn’t have and made it my own and to this day that bitter pill swallowed was nothing in comparison to the disappointment and embarrassment you felt so much it broke the great Ravyn Taylor falling back to her ways and throwing out every single bit of credibility just like Christy Matthews away, changing with the wind and making it a known fact that NOTHING either one of you two liars say is truth or will always be ever taken seriously. All those speeches, every single word you spoke to me back then was nonsense. Yet you stand there and will probably call me a fake for what I have been doing with my charities and trying to help out those that stood by me through the good and bad times.
See, Ravyn, I have the power of beauty. Deep down inside you want to be me, just like Syren, the jealousy, spite and envy are on full display. You may have bested me then, taken away two championships, cost me a third, broke Sienna Swann down and even clipped her wings momentarily but that was just the catharsis to my failure in route to my greatest achievements, yes you created me and now Ravyn? I am the desire you do not act upon; I am the anger you conceal, the power you restrain and the need you disguise. I am everything YOU want to be but are too afraid to do it.
It scares the hell out of you, is this why the match is happening, your final feeble attempt to break me down before I stamp the final nail on Syren’s coffin and her World Championship hopes and dreams denying her a chance at ANOTHER RTG Main Event and making it my first to cap off the greatest year I have had in my entire career or even yours? I was Wrestler of the Year in 2018, awarded the Match of the Year for a reason Ravyn and I thank you for it, how does it make you feel now knowing that it was you that I will credit with my ascension to the very top of the this company and how appropriate it will be that I will finish it being the greatest World champion that ever set foot in the SCW? while you may find comparing me to Kelcey Wallace quite the insult, no to mention everyone and their mother says the same thing, glad you pay attention, I rather find it flattering as there is one identical trait we both do have in common, you will fall in defeat just like Kelcey in her last match with you and like ours on Breakdown.
I will show you my gratitude personally tomorrow night when I knock the scheming and deceiving shit out of you for the two years, I’ve had to endure this and wait until I had a chance to show how much things have changed….
Through Evolution like the Genesis of a Heavenly Angel.”
The beautiful Angel cracks a smile, the Twins in the background start to laugh some, Laura nods in approval. Not only is Sienna looking for momentum, she is also looking to get revenge on two women that have cost her so much in her career. Christy the World Championship to Syren, Ravyn the World Championship to Kelcey plus taking her TV and Women’s belts as well and defeating Sienna at RTG XIV. This has been a long time coming and Sienna can kill two birds with one stone. Her icy blue eyes look back into the camera as she speaks in her South African accent….
“What we have here is the reincarnation of Infamous or just a cheap rip-off, I really do not care. This match was made for a reason and I will take full advantage of it with the best partner I have ever had in Chris Cannon. Ravyn has been a thorn in both our sides, that is no question, Christy Matthews can’t make up her mind if she is coming or going, whether Christopher Richter or Alexander Crowe decide to get involved or even Syren herself as we both know she will take full advantage of any situation for her path of least resistance, doesn’t matter because I hold something greater, I have the support of every single person out there that believes in HARD WORK and dedication, NEVER taking any days off or running from ANY challenges. The time for saving face is over, that ship sailed long ago. I stand here as your World Champion, there are no imposters, on this landmark, where this country makes all their decision thinking about one thing….
What is best for their rule.
Ravyn Taylor may have bested me before, those days are a distant memory. Sienna Swann has spread her wings once again shown why now I am the measuring stick, the FACE of this industry. It is more than just beauty, allure and glamour…
Now I HOLD the Power.
I follow suit with all world leaders in the SCW, Chris and I see exactly what needs to be done as the FIRST Couple and we will do so with the two most dominating factors that none of you understand or even want to believe how polarizing they are….
Love and Devotion.”
Suddenly Chris Cannon walks out in a grey suit, trench coat and blue tie. Sienna smiles as their lips lock in a kiss and then an embrace. The gorgeous Angel turns to the camera and speaks….
“I have my Superman…..
And “Infamous”, the remake in such poor quality will each walk away with a gift that I have held in my pocket long enough, killing two con artists with one stone, with a gentle and unforgiving….
Kiss By An Angel.”
They turn and look at one another before her blue eyes glance over….
“All…..
For THE People.”
Chris again leans in and kisses Sienna as she holds up the World Championship while the Twins and Laura each look on in approval….
