The scene opens inside Pure Gym, in Natalie's hometown of Cardiff. Natalie - who is wearing a pair of black leggings and a white crop top - is sat on a flat bench, holding a dumbbell.
Natalie places the dumbbell on the floor, beside the bench; she then looks to the camera, and speaks.
'It's just a matter of days now until I debut in Seishin, and again you find me in a gym, during a break from my preparations for the upcoming battle royal. The two places where I am happiest are in the gym and in the ring, and after all of the time that I've spent in the gym recently, training, I'm looking forward to setting foot in that ring, to test myself against six opponents.'
Natalie smiles.
'Since I last spoke, some of my opponents have had their say about the forthcoming match. Bianca Davis was first, and claimed that me beating her mentor was a fluke.'
Natalie shakes her head.
'Me making Veronica Taylor tap out was no fluke, and when I throw Bianca over the top rope, that won't be a fluke either.'
There is a brief pause, before Natalie continues.
'Brittney Drew appears to have overlooked the fact that she's not the only woman in this match from a Celtic nation. She may possess some fierce kicks, but she won't be able to match power with me, and if it comes down to Ireland versus Wales as the last two in the battle royal, then it will be a case of Cymru am byth.'
Natalie's smile broadens into a grin.
'I think each of the seven of us in this match has something to prove. For me, first I want to show that there are no lingering ill effects from my injury; then, I want to show how much of a threat I pose to the rest of the roster - the best possible way for me to do both of those, is to be the one that triumphs in the battle royal.'
Natalie retrieves the dumbbell from the floor.
'Kaya Lovelace made some comment about a lack of experience - I can't recall her exact words, but I certainly fall in that category. Part of the reason for me joining a promotion in Japan, is a desire to better myself, by experiencing different styles of wrestling, and training with different people. Of course, I also want to be successful in Seishin, and that starts this weekend - regardless of whether or not Kaya, or any of my other opponents, like it.'
Natalie then stands up.
'There may be more accomplished wrestlers than me in Seishin, but I can promise you there's no one on the roster that works as hard as I do; as Bianca, Britney, Kaya, Michiko, Molly, and Ursula are all about to find out, my intensity is unrelenting.'
Natalie performs a solitary bicep curl.
'Labor omnia vincit. See you in Tokyo, ladies.'
As Natalie looks towards the camera, confidently, the scene fades to black.
