A new competitor
- We are presented with a black screen. Bach's Air on the G-string is heard playing quietly. An old map of England is shown. A young female voice is heard, speaking in a British accent.
"Professional wrestling has a long and rich history in Great Britain. Contests have been held since the days of the Roman Empire."
- Screen fades to the image of a very old mural of a wrestling contest being held in an original circular wrestling ring.
"Over the centuries, different styles and rules developed in the various British counties."
- Return to the map of England. A slow zoom in on the name "Lancashire"
"In the county of Lancashire, a style that is now known as Lancashire catch wrestling was dominant. The men of Lancashire were considered formidable opponents, even by the Romans. Lancashire catch did not even allow pins, since it was felt that the only way to show true dominance and victory is through knockout or submission."
- Transition to an old painting of two wrestlers, one applying a step over toe hold on the other
- Fade in to a very old photograph of a bald, mustached man wearing a wrestling title belt.

"In the late 19th century, a Lancashire man by the name of Tom Cannon was a dominant force in British professional wrestling, holding the British wrestling championship for a time."
- Screen slowly fades to black. You then see the back of a female figure opening a curtain and walking towards a wrestling ring in an empty arena. The camera follows behind her, but it is too dark to discern many features.
"A century has passed since Tom Cannon's reign as champion. His time as champion has long since ended, but his legacy remains, as does the legacy of Lancashire Catch Wrestling."
- As she gets closer to the ring, the brighter light reveals an athletic build, medium length fiery red hair, a white and red singlet and blue and white wrestling boots.
"I will carry on the legacy of Lancashire."
- She climbs into the ring. The camera still following.
"I will bring an ancient style back to the forefront of professional wrestling."
- She stops in the middle of the ring, looking towards the mat. The camera begins to revolve around her.
"I will follow in the footsteps of my ancestor, Tom Cannon."
- We now see the woman from the front, arms to her sides, fists clenched, looking towards the mat. She slowly turns her gaze to the camera and speaks:
"I..... am Haley Cannon."
