The video begins as Tyler Storm positions himself in his chair he is sitting in. He smiles as he begins with his message.
"Hello once again Witness Army! Now don't worry, you aren't going crazy, yes I am delivering a another little video message to you guys. My reason for this is because of some leaked message footage that came from a certain someone a couple of days back. That person, ladies and gents, is Scarlet Flint...and may I say, I was certainly surprised this kind of message was made aware to me earlier from her."
Tyler leans back in his chair slightly as he continues.
"Scarlet, let me start by saying that I definitely appreciate you congratulating me on my win at Heatstroke. I have to say, hearing that from ya actually was a bit surprising, mostly because I didn't have the feeling that Scarlet Flint was the kind of person to congratulate anyone. But, for doing so earned you a massive amount of respect from The Hybrid, not that you didn't already have a huge amount before delivering your message."
"However, as I continued on viewing your video, I began to see the Scarlet Flint I do know, the savage one! And may I say, you delivered one hell of a message to me, Ace, and the VoW brass. Now I cannot speak for my old rival or the staff of this company, but I can deliver a response for the things you targeted at me. So let's begin shall we?"
Tyler leans back to a straight position and pulls over his I4NI title, throwing it over his shoulder.
"Scarlet, from the moment I won the Case, I knew the target on my back was beginning to show very clearly, especially for the 5 of you that were in that match with me. It's why I really was not that surprised to see Ace walk out and attack me verbally when I was awarded this title right here by our interestingly non-emotional General Manager. But Ms. Flint, I did want to question something about what you said."
"You made it pretty clear that you don't care about my I4NI title, and I definitely don't deny that statement. Honestly you don't even seem like the kind of person that cares about anything other than destruction and the pain of others. But to say your reason for wanting to come after me is because I think I know you? Really Ms. Flint? I mean you expect anyone to believe that as a reason for you to come after me? Sweet Scarlet, I never at any point admitted to knowing you. Any knowledge I have of you at all comes from what I see in that ring from you and what I see you say. Other than that, I don't claim to know you personally or mentally."
"As far as another little thing you said along with that, I will admit I talked about a lot of our similarities in addressing you before Heatstroke, although I tried to do that with all 5 of you competitors in the Quest for the Case match with me. As far as an overall basis though, I totally agree Scarlet, you and I are no where near alike. I could go on and on about every little detail of our differences but to put things simple so if I need to address more later I will. I'll just say that the big difference is you are an unforgiving, almost sinister woman, and I am a bit more on the opposite side of that spectrum, at least out of the ring I am."
Tyler smirks and chuckles slightly, readjusting in his chair a bit again.
"Ms. Flint, I want you to understand I don't take you lightly. I never once did! Do I think you delivered your full amount of power and savagery was shown to me at Heatstroke? Honestly no, I do not think that. I feel no one was showing their full extent in that kind of match. If you were to put your full savageness into taking care of me, I may have been in no capacity to win that match yes, but neither would you have been. In a match like a 6-man ladder match, you have to be able to divide your power equally among everyone so you don't tire yourself out, otherwise you would be overwhelmed and that is just bad strategy. I knew going into that match most of my fellow competitors had that same knowledge, especially you Scarlet. So no, I don't think you delivered your full extent to me in the Quest for the Case match, no where near."
"Regardless though, you did deliver one hell of a beating on me and the others guys and gals in that match. I was definitely sore from everything that match put me through, from the attacks by my competitors, to me blowing out my shoulder with that DDT to Sophia, and the ending of me falling back first onto the mat being dragged down by you Ms. Flint and being speared by Ace. I mean that fucking hurt, not gonna lie I'm still sore from that. But I don't appreciate you saying I was lying to people with my joyful nature after that match. I have 0 intention to fool anyone, people can clearly see from my reactions in person that I am still hurting, and that match put me through a lot physically. But why would I want to bother social media with me complaining about hurting every single day? That is just a sign of weakness, end of the day it's better to embrace the pain and make it part of you, and that's what I did. From there I just continue to enjoy my life, and if that makes me a horrible person then I am sorry but you have no right to judge my life Scarlet, nor does anyone for that matter."
"Now see Scarlet, I know how savage of a competitor you are, I've seen you destroy people like me easily, and at Heatstroke it was just a case of you needing to smart with the amount of power you put into everything. I know without a doubt, if it was 1 v 1 for me and you Scarlet, you would probably decimate me. But what you fail to realize, and this is where your biggest flaw lies Ms. Flint, is that I have much more power to unleash as well in a single match situation. Just as Steve Herring about that, or ask Ace after our match at this upcoming Breakthrough. When The Hybrid takes control, he decimates, no matter how much you try to stop him."
Tyler's look slowly become more stern and serious as he goes on.
"Scarlet I can tell you have went through a lot of pain in your life, a lot of emotional stress and honestly I do feel bad for you for having to go through such a bad past, I would feel bad for anyone in a similar situation. And if that pain brings you motivation in the ring to fight hard, then embrace it! Many people are aware I have been doing what I do in that squared circle recently for the memory of my father who killed himself by an overdose...and the pain still haunts me. But it motivates me as well, and that motivation has led me to being this success in VoW. I promise you, I know pain though, it may not be the same pain you go through but I know pain. I have been put through so many things physically that my body has been on a path to quitting many a time. And I can promise you, anything you do to me won't be any worse to anything else I have been put through."
"Ms. Flint let me just tie this all together with a simple message. I know you are dangerous, I know you are savage, I know you are a top dog in this company. I understand your frustration with how plans were made for Breakthrough, but I also would hope you understand that not everything can go your way if you don't come and take advantage of your opportunities. Ace may not be record-wise one of the most deserving challengers, and it is a fact he was not the only one that played a part in the closing moments of the match at Heatstroke. But Ace is a deserving competitor because he still fights on despite the losses, and he is smart enough to know when the opportunity arises, you jump at it. Scarlet, at Breakthrough 30 you could have easily taken the chance to come out there and got yourself put in that match, but you didn't. Ms. Sangue made her decision based on the people out there at the time, and that is a fact."
"Everyone knows you deserve mention for a shot at the I4NI title, I even know that and can easily admit it. But to go on like you did in your little message, to throw insults and nit-picky things about Ace, I mean good lord Scarlet are you a grown woman or a 3rd grader? You say the guy needs to earn his opportunities, he fucking did, he earned it with his performance at Heatstroke, with taking advantage of the moment at Breakthrough, he earned his spot in this upcoming match. Being successful in this in this business is about more than the physicality, it's about being smart with how you do things. Ace has fought tooth and nail for the 5 years he has worked in this business, so don't be going out saying he is given handouts. Learn to respect your fellow competitors a bit better Scarlet."
Tyler leans in and holds his title up.
"Scarlet, this prize was not won on physicality alone. It was won by determination, by taking chances, by being in the right place at the right time. Ace did the same earning his "prize," which was a one on one shot versus me for this title. Tell me Scarlet, where are you making your statement and taking your opportunities? Oh that's right, you are more focused on building up your record and showing physical success. Ms. Flint, here is your lesson, there is more to this business than a winning record and being dominant in that ring. Opportunities are taken and earned by not just your physical prowess, but your wit, your cunning, your ability to do things unexpected. When you learn that sweet Scarlet, you shall finally get what you want. And when you get it, I'll be waiting."
Tyler smirks as he lowers his belt out of view.
"This is my final summary, and then I'll leave you to think Ms. Flint. I am more than prepared to go to war with anyone in this company, because win or lose I am going to make sure no one forgets who Tyler Storm is. And if I have to take a beating from you so I can give a beating in return, then so be it. But you ain't gonna push me over, you want to come at me then get ready to get your ass handed to you. I don't care if you are the most dangerous woman in this industry, if you want to fight we will fight. When will this fight finally happen? Who knows...but I hope it's soon. My evolution runs through the best the company has to offer, and you are certainly one of those best Scarlet. Take that as you will ma'am, but I've said what I needed to say. Stay cool VoW family, and Be Witness."
Tyler nods and turns his chair away from the camera as it fades to black.
