OOC: Also not long enough to bother with the site.

What an interesting situation the six of us find ourselves in, isn't it?

Bree Lancaster sits on the raised hearth in front of her library fireplace. No flames of any sort are burning today though. Just bright sunlight through the window to her left.

Let's take a look, okay? You have the two women who be fighting for the World Championship at Rise to Greatness on opposite sides. Okay, that makes sense. You have two out of three teams who will be fighting for the Tag Team Championships on opposite sides. Also makes sense. But the tricky stuff enters when you put names to those titles.

Selena Frost and Bree Lancaster... on the same side? It wasn't all that long ago when that idea was laughable at best, and completely insane the more you thought about it. But... all things change in time. And at this point in time, I'm proud to be standing in the same corner as the World Champion who has done her best to try to maintain what she stands for in the face of adversity hitting her from all directions. I know, I know... there are a lot of people who don't agree with some of Selena's recent.... complaints, about SCW and certain decisions that have been made. The truth is... I don't agree with everything, either. But that's not going to stop me from seeing the good in what she's tried to do and what she is still trying to do. There is corruption and nasty things hiding in SCW's shadow, even if we do disagree on what those things are. I would be remiss if I left out the fact that as Rise to Greatness on the pre-show, Selena's wife Deanna is challenging me for the United States Championship. For my part I can tell Selena and everyone else that I won't let that interfere in what needs to be done at Breakdown. I can only hope Selena feels the same.

My other partner at Breakdown... my actual tag partner, Datura. We've been working together since January. We have a name – Statera. We have ideas, plans, goals. It's true that Liz and I haven't had a regular, two on two tag match together yet. I'm not going to argue with anyone who says that, because it's fact. Where most of you are mistaken is in thinking that fact is a detriment to our chances of success, because no one has seen what we can do. We choose to see it as an advantage though, for exactly the same reason. No one has seen what we can do. No one knows what to expect.

Bree smiles a little, as if she gave away a secret.

We'll bring our best to Breakdown this week, make no mistake about that. But we won't be pulling out anything you can prepare for or use against us at Rise to Greatness, either.  So Ace, Ravyn? I've had my run in's with both of you over the years, we know each other well. Yet we've never faced each other in a situation quite like this one. There's a lot more I could go into with you two,but I will save that for next week. For now... I'm looking forward to figuring all of this out.

And their partner? The woman who's been chasing the World Championship for over a year, Kandis. I might get some heat for this, but I understand where she's coming from. I had three chances to become World Champion that I felt jerked around with, before I finally won the championship. Kandis hasn't had one shot yet, at least not something one on one. I'm not t counting Kim's Trios Chaos thing, even if Kandis does.

That's where my understanding ends, though. I have no use nor respect for anyone who will bring up someone's child's illness in a promo just to strike a nerve. I bet she thought I forgot about that, I am here to tell you all that I did not. I'm sure Kandis won't be worried about or focused on me at Breakdown, not with Selena across the ring from her. But I'll be the bigger woman and leave her with two pieces of advice.

One – don't overlook the forest by worrying about one tree. And two – don't rush in full of anger so fast that you trip over your own feet and fall flat on your face. Kandis may be a few years older than me but I have more ring experience and I can tell her from that experience that letting anger blind you is the fastest way to beat yourself before your opponent touches you. With that said... I haven't forgotten what Kandis said about my son... but I'm not going to let it make me lose focus, either.

At this last Breakdown before Rise to Greatness, the six of us have a chance to work out any kinks in our game, shake off any doubts that might be weighing us down, and gain some momentum before we all step up at the greatest show on earth to our biggest matches of the year. I plan on making the most of it. Selena, Datura, and I hope you three can keep up.

Bree smiles once more before the video ends.
