Later on in the evening, EBWF cameras returned to the backstage area, more importantly, the interview area. Renee Young stood in front of a blue curtain with the EBWF logo centered in front of it. She smiled directly at the camera and raised the microphone to her lips to speak.

[RENEE//Young]: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, Renee Young here, live backstage just before Warfare is set to take off here in Little Rock, Arkansas! Tonight will officially kick off the Queen of the Ring tournament, starting it all off will be Liv Morgan versus Mandy Rose, then we have Alexa Bliss versus a returning Charlotte Flair! Followed by that we see Paige’s return to EBWF, and Velvet Sky’s first televised match since the Royal Rumble! Topping that all off, of course, will be Trish Stratus who will be taking on Nikki Cross. It is certainly an action packed night scheduled for the women of EBWF. The fans have been blowing up social media about the 2018 Queen of the Ring, there is certainly a lot of buzz surrounding tonight, so be sure to tune in and find out who has what it takes to advance to the next round.

Renee adjusted her weight and smiled for the camera.

[RENEE//Young]: Now, it is my pleasure to introduce to you, my guest at this time…. She is a former two time EBWF Women’s Champion, Velvet Sky!

The camera panned back off of Renee Young a little more as Velvet Sky walked into camera view. She was already in her ring gear for the night, and makeup and hair all done up. The audience could be heard popping for the EBWF veteran. It had been quite some time since she had participated on televised programming. Velvet still looked better than ever. Once the fans calmed down a little, Velvet went to speak.

[VELVET//Sky]: Thank you, Renee. It’s great to be back!

[RENEE//Young]: How does it feel to find out there was so much demand by the fans to see you return during the Queen of the Ring?

[VELVET//Sky]: It’s absolutely incredible, Renee! Don’t get me wrong, it was nice to have some time for personal reasons. However, I’d be lying it I said I didn’t miss being around full time. I’ve done some live events and appearances, but nothing of any real substance. Most of the time if you’re not around constantly, you’re forgotten about. So it’s rewarding to know that the fans took to social media to voice their demands. One I am more than happy to fulfill.

[RENEE//Young]: I’m sure the fans are more than happy to see you back! There have been quite a few changes to the roster in your absence, however, it’s always refreshing to see a familiar face. Especially of talent that played such a pivotal role in developing the Women’s division, and even helping bring an end to the term “Diva”.

[VELVET//Sky]: Absolutely, and most of the girls now days can barely remember that. Respect those who came before you. We paved the way for the younger generations to have a chance. The level of disrespect around here is disgusting and it’s going to change!

Velvet Sky shifted her weight onto her other foot, her hands on her hips.

[VELVET//Sky]: I let these newer faces have some limelight, they should be thanking me! I was kind enough to step aside… MOMENTARILY, might I add... to let the new talent try to make a name for themselves… and THIS is what we are left with?!

Velvet shook her head and pursed her lips together for a moment.

[VELVET//Sky]: I left this division in their hands. The same can be said with Trish Stratus. We are the mega stars in this division. It’s our name’s that sell tickets, it’s our faces that the fans want to see, and it’s our talent that everyone strives to match. Some may come close… but close isn’t good enough.

[RENEE//Young]: How have the other girls responded to you coming back? Is it chaotic in the locker rooms or is it relatively the same as when you left?

[VELVET//Sky]: It’s a madhouse!

[RENEE//Young]: How so?

[VELVET//Sky]: Those girls are off their rockers. Trish Stratus, Natalya, Daffney, Angelina Love, and I… we made this division the very best. We put so much work into making the division what it is today. Well… we have the Queen of Hot Topic, Paige, returning for the third…? Fourth time? Who can even keep count. Then we have wrestling’s biggest spoiled brat, Charlotte Flair. Yet another return… that no one ultimately cares about.

Velvet feigned a yawn to show her boredom on the topic.

[VELVET//Sky]: Hm, let’s see, we’ve got conspiracy spewing Summer Rae running around, that angry five foot troll Alexa Bliss, and that repulsive looking lunatic, Nikki Cross. The Jersey loudmouth, Liv Morgan or the Staten Island ferry, Carmella. Who else? Mickie James? I don’t think that psycho has the mental capacity to go for the title. She’s too busy with her lips wrapped around the Miz to go for any sort of career… Kind of like my opponent Paige!

[RENEE//Young]: What exactly do you mean by that?

[VELVET//Sky]: It’s kind of obvious. She’s here because of her boyfriend, Seth Rollins. If it weren’t for the man in her life, she wouldn’t even be here. Mickie James and Paige are actually… kind of the same. Both of them claim to love this business, yet they just hang around for the lifestyle. They don’t put any actual work in. Neither of them have done anything in this business, except support their man’s career.

[RENEE//Young]: Um… did you not spend quite a bit of your time managing PJ Black?

[VELVET//Sky]: Yes, but I was still an active wrestler with title aspirations. Look at my accolades, I was far more than just a valet. I’ve always been more than just some supporting character. You see, I’ve always been a star and I shine bright. I always have and I always will. Clearly, Paige has taken far too many blows to the head if she thinks she’s got a chance in hell at defeating me. That means she would actually have to keep her legs shut long enough to focus on the match. For just a moment in time, I need Paige to just TRY and have even just an ounce of class when stepping into the ring with me.

[RENEE//Young]: So you don’t think Paige has even the smallest chance of taking the win tonight?

[VELVET//Sky]: There are no absolutes in wrestling, so anything is technically possible. But no. She doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell against me. I’m going to drop that snowflake’s face to the mat. She won’t even know what hit her and I’ll already have the 1-2-3. I’m the only one around here who is truly fit to be Queen.

[RENEE//Young]: Which brings me to my next point, the Queen of the Ring title is something that you have never successfully captured in your career thus far. Do you think this year will be different?

[VELVET//Sky]: First of all, yes. It’s time that I’m finally crowned like the true Queen that I am. We don’t need a Queen of the Goth’s, we already have a self proclaimed Queen of Controversy as our Champion. That will change too once I run right through this tournament and take back what is mine. You’re looking at the true Queen of the Ring right now, and I’m going to make damn sure I bring respect and order back to this division. I’ve had enough of this rough shot mentality, do what you please. No, na-uh, the girls are going to learn that you have to pay your dues and earn your spot. There is no fast track around here. That crown and that title, those are mine! It’s only a matter of time before they are both with me, where they both truly belong.

[RENEE//Young]: You seem quite confident going into this match. However, this is Paige’s first match back in years, you don’t feel she could possibly house a few tricks up her sleeve?

[VELVET//Sky]: I encourage Paige to bring every trick in the book. I’ve been in the game a long time, and I’ve just about experienced everything there is to experience. I don’t think there is much Paige could do that would catch me off guard or surprise me. Look at me. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’ve got plenty of gas left in the tank, and her first match back or not…. Nothing’s going to change the fact that I’m on a whole other level than she is. The girls can’t compare to women like Trish Stratus and myself. We are irreplaceable. We are already legendary. So, all the girls in the back can laugh and shrug me off as any kind of threat all they want to, but the harsh reality is... I’m coming full force for my crown! This is my kingdom and these bitches will bow to me!

Velvet smiled at the camera and blew a kiss. She winked at the camera before she walked off the interview set. Renee Young half shrugged and watched Velvet disappear off down the hallway. It wouldn't be much longer and her match would be taking place, so she opted to head off towards the Gorilla Position. The cameras slowly faded to black on Renee Young.
