RICKY ON THE ROPES WITH MRS CLAUS |
(The lights dim. Gold spotlights sweep the arena as synth stingers hit. The camera cuts to a ridiculously overproduced set on the stage.)
A velvet-draped platform trimmed in neon gold. Oversized playing cards, chrome dice, and mirrored panels reflect the lights. A faux marquee flickers overhead:
RICKY ON THE ROPES
A leather couch sits center stage. A gold microphone gleams under the lights.
Slick Ricky Vega lounges back, legs crossed, collar open, sweat glistening just enough to be noticed. He grins into the camera like it’s late-night cable in 1987.
The Interview
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Laaadies and gentlemen, cats and kittens, heartbreakers and headliners—this is Ricky on the Ropes, where the lights are hot, the questions are hotter, and the truth? Oh baby, it never gets an encore.”
(The crowd reacts—mixed cheers and laughter.)
“Tonight, I’ve got wrestling royalty on my couch. A woman who’s stitched into the history of this division like vinyl grooves into a platinum record…”
He turns dramatically.
“Give it up for the North Pole’s First Lady, the Iron Hearth, the woman who refuses to fade out…”
Mrs. Claus.”
(Mrs. Claus steps into frame, composed, focused. She doesn’t play to the theatrics—she simply nods and takes her seat.)
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Now doll, tonight you’re stepping into the ring with Velora Synn. Precision. Violence. Ice-cold focus. But some folks backstage—and a few loud mouths in the cheap seats—are saying this match isn’t just about Velora…”
He leans in.
“They’re saying it’s a steppingstone. A way back to Lilith. A way to put your name back in the conversation for the Queen of the North Championship.”
The crowd murmurs.
Mrs. Claus:
“If beating Velora Synn gets me closer to Lilith, then yes—tonight matters. But I’m not chasing ghosts. I’m earning ground.”
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Ooooh, heavy words, sugarplum. But history’s got a long memory.”
He taps his cue card theatrically.
“You’ve knocked on that Queen of the North door before. You’ve chased gold. You’ve come up short—just short. And the same thing happened when you went after the North Star Tag Titles.”
He shrugs, faux-sympathetic.
“Some people say the song stays the same.”
(The crowd splits—some boos, some applause.)
Mrs. Claus:
“Failure isn’t a stain. It’s proof you were willing to try. I’ve stood across from champions. I’ve lost. I’ve learned. And I’m still here.”
Slick Ricky Vega:
“Still here… and still getting opportunities.”
The grin sharpens.
“Because here’s the nasty little backstage rumor, sweetheart—the one whispered like a bad power ballad…”
He pauses for effect.
“Some say Mrs. Claus holds back the next generation. That you keep standing in the spotlight while younger talent waits in the wings.”
A sharp reaction from the crowd.
(Mrs. Claus straightens. Calm. Firm.)
Mrs. Claus:
“I don’t hold anyone back. This ring doesn’t reward seniority—it rewards survival. If someone wants my place, they’re welcome to take it.”
She looks directly into the camera.
“But tonight, Velora Synn isn’t facing a gatekeeper. She’s facing a competitor who refuses to disappear quietly.”
Slick Ricky Vega chuckles, raising the mic.
“Ladies and gentlemen, that’s not a rebuttal—that’s a remix.”
He stands.
“Tonight, Mrs. Claus steps into the fire again. Is it one last run? Or the opening track of something louder?”
He smirks.
“Either way, don’t touch that dial—because when Northern Belles rolls on…”
He gestures toward the ring.
“Some legacies get tested. And some myths get real uncomfortable.”
(Camera pulls back as the crowd buzzes, transitioning toward the commentary desk.)
(Camera cuts back to the desk. KC looks thoughtful. Vera’s expression is measured, unreadable.)
KC Rogers:
“That wasn’t flash for flash’s sake. Ricky Vega asked the questions a lot of people don’t like hearing… and Mrs. Claus didn’t dodge a single one.”
Vera Steele:
“She didn’t. And notice what she didn’t do—she didn’t make excuses. She didn’t lean on legacy. She framed tonight as a test, not a privilege.”
KC Rogers:
“There are critics who say she’s had her chances. There are supporters who say she’s earned every one of them. Tonight against Velora Synn, there’s nowhere left to hide.”
Vera Steele:
“Velora isn’t a steppingstone unless you can survive her. And if Mrs. Claus wins, that conversation about Lilith and the Queen of the North gets very real, very fast.”
KC Rogers:
“And if she loses…”
(Vera doesn’t hesitate.)
Vera Steele:
“Then the division moves on without her. That’s the reality.”
KC Rogers:
“High stakes. No nostalgia. No safety net.”
(Vera nods.)
Vera Steele:
“That’s Northern Belles.”
(Camera fades toward the next segment.)
Entrances & Ring Introductions
Celeste Orion stands poised at center ring.
“The following contest is scheduled for one fall…”
She turns toward the entranceway.
“Introducing first…”
“Forged in silence… tested beyond mercy…”
“Tonight marks the first step of a new force unleashed upon this division…”
“Making her Northern Belles in-ring debut…”
“She is… VAAALKAAAA!”
Valka emerges to a curious but rising reaction. Her posture is rigid, composed, almost ritualistic. She doesn’t rush—she claims space with each step toward the ring. Sliding between the ropes, she plants her feet, eyes locked forward, betraying no nerves despite the magnitude of the moment.
KC Rogers: This is her debut, but look at her—no hesitation at all.
Vera Steele: Debuts are about control. She already looks grounded.
Celeste waits, then pivots back toward the stage.
“And her opponent…”
“Twisted in design… unpredictable in execution…”
“Accompanied to the ring by the Puppetmaster…”
“She fights with chaos stitched into every strike…”
“She is… PATCHWORK… PAAAAGE!”
Patchwork Paige steps out alongside Puppetmaster, whose presence immediately draws uneasy murmurs. Paige moves with erratic energy, jerking her shoulders and rolling her neck as the Puppetmaster lingers just behind, eyes fixed on the ring. Paige slides in under the ropes and grins toward Valka.
KC Rogers: Paige never comes alone—physically or psychologically.
Vera Steele: And that makes Valka’s debut even more dangerous.
The referee checks both competitors. The bell rings.
Minute 1
Valka explodes forward, grabbing Patchwork Paige and driving her down with Twilight Judgment, a sit-out facebuster slam that snaps Paige flat on her back.
KC Rogers: What an opening statement!
Vera Steele: No hesitation—Valka went straight to dominance.
Minute 2
Patchwork Paige regains her footing as the Puppetmaster distracts the referee from the apron, but Valka cuts it off, turning Paige inside out with another Twilight Judgment before Paige can capitalize. Paige rolls away to recover.
KC Rogers: Valka refused to let the interference matter.
Vera Steele: That awareness is impressive for a debut.
Minute 3
Valka hoists Paige again, looking for control, but Paige slips free and cinches in a Front Facelock Choke, forcing Valka to power out and break the hold.

Vera Steele: That was Paige targeting Valka’s breathing early.
Minute 4
Patchwork Paige stomps down on Valka repeatedly, grinding her boot in and keeping her grounded.
KC Rogers: Paige turning nasty now.
Vera Steele: This is where debuts get tested—can Valka take punishment?
Minute 5
Valka fires back with a 180 Corkscrew Enzuigiri, but as she follows up, the Puppetmaster lashes out with a cord from ringside, catching Valka across the throat before slipping away unnoticed by the referee.
KC Rogers: That should’ve been it!
Vera Steele: That interference changed the entire rhythm.
Minute 6
Shaking it off, Valka grabs Paige and spikes her with a Piledriver, driving her head into the mat.
KC Rogers: Power and precision from Valka!
Vera Steele: That’s how you regain control.
Minute 7
The Puppetmaster distracts the referee again, allowing Paige to claw and rake at Valka’s face, forcing Valka onto the defensive.

KC Rogers: Paige taking advantage now.
Vera Steele: This is the danger of outside influence.
Minute 10

KC Rogers: Back and forth!
Vera Steele: Valka’s endurance is being tested hard.
Minute 11
Valka surges with authority, driving Paige down with Twilight Judgment and hooking the leg for a pin—but Paige kicks out at one.
KC Rogers: Almost a debut victory right there!
Vera Steele: Too early—Paige still had fight left.
Minute 12
Both women collide with power—Valka hits a Sidewalk Slam, but Paige answers with a Scoop Powerslam, neither giving an inch.
KC Rogers: This has turned physical.
Vera Steele: Paige is matching strength now.
Minute 13
Valka spikes Paige with another Piledriver, but Paige somehow answers with a sudden Moonsault, crashing down across Valka’s chest.
KC Rogers: How did Paige pull that off?!
Vera Steele: Desperation breeds risk.
Minute 14
Valka responds with a Flying Phoenix Cradle Suplex, floats into a pin, but Paige kicks out at two.
KC Rogers: Valka is getting closer.
Vera Steele: Paige’s resilience is fading.
Minute 15
Valka drives Paige down with another Sidewalk Slam, but Paige traps her in a crushing Bearhug, squeezing the air from her lungs.
KC Rogers: Paige fighting to survive.
Vera Steele: She’s trying to drain Valka completely.
Minute 16

KC Rogers: Valka refusing to go down.
Vera Steele: She’s learning in real time.
Minute 17

KC Rogers: Paige barely escapes.
Vera Steele: That window is closing.
Minute 18

KC Rogers: Paige emptied the tank on that one.
Vera Steele: That might’ve been her last burst.
Minute 19
Valka answers with a Pendulum Backbreaker, snapping Paige over her knee and rolling into a pin—Paige kicks out at two.
KC Rogers: That was close!

Valka lifts Paige one final time and drives her down with Twilight Judgment, hooks both legs, and the referee counts the pinfall.
VALKA DEFEATS PATCHWORK PAIGE VIA PINFALL AT THE 20:00 MINUTE MARK
KC Rogers: What a debut—Valka overcame interference, chaos, and pressure, and she delivered when it mattered.
Vera Steele: This wasn’t just power. Valka showed composure, adaptation, and finishing instinct. That’s a dangerous combination for the Northern Belles division.
Entrances & Introductions
Celeste Orion:
“Introducing first… representing the Hunters Enclave…Crimson Vane and the Witch hunter GRETEL!”
The lights dim to a deep crimson. Fog spills across the ramp as Crimson Vane steps through first, eyes locked forward, followed closely by Gretel, pacing with coiled intensity. Their movements are deliberate—predatory. No wasted motion. The crowd gives a strong, approving reaction.
KC Rogers:
“This team doesn’t rush. They stalk. Every step looks measured.”
Vera Steele:
“Hunters don’t chase chaos. They wait for it.”
Celeste Orion:
“And their opponents… accompanied by the Wicked Witch… they are the Witch’s Coven… DARK RITUAL!”
The arena darkens further. Flickering green and violet light pulses as Morrigan emerges, calm and regal, followed by Wicked Willow, who smirks and drags her boots toward the ring. The Wicked Witch appears behind them, looming, staff in hand. The crowd reacts loudly—boos layered with nervous energy.
KC Rogers:
“You feel the temperature drop when they arrive.”
Vera Steele:
“Because Dark Ritual doesn’t just want to win. They want to leave marks.”
(All four competitors enter the ring. Referee Abe calls for the bell.)

Crimson Vane and Morrigan start aggressively as all four quickly collide. Vane traps Morrigan into Vane’s Vice, wrenching the arm while Gretel snaps a spinning heel kick across Morrigan’s jaw.

CRIMSON VANE & GRETEL VS DARK RITUAL ENDS IN A 30-MINUTE TIME-LIMIT DRAW.
KC Rogers:
“Thirty minutes. No winner. No surrender.”
Vera Steele:
“Neither team broke. Neither team backed down. This rivalry isn’t over—this was only a chapter.”
(The camera cuts backstage to a stark interview area. Cold blue lighting. No banners. No theatrics.)
Alexandra Jones stands centered, composed, hands clasped around a mic. To her left and right loom Regina and Malice, flanked just behind by their silent enforcer, the Huntsman—arms crossed, eyes forward, unmoving.
The atmosphere is oppressive.
Alexandra Jones:
“Next week at OATHBOUND, the North Star Tag Team Championships will be on the line. Regina. Malice. The Queens of Despair will challenge the reigning champions—the Blonde Bombshells.”
She turns slightly.
“On January 30th, on Dark Fable Episode 002, you defeated the Bombshells by countout. But next week, there are no disqualifications. No countouts. Victory comes only by pinfall or submission.”
A beat.
“How does that change your approach?”
(Regina smiles. It is slow. Calculated. Cruel.)
Regina:
“Oh Alexandra… it doesn’t.”
She steps closer, just enough to invade the frame.
“The Bombshells didn’t lose by countout. They fled. They chose to keep their crowns instead of their dignity.”
Her smile sharpens.
“And next week, there will be nowhere to run.”
(Malice laughs softly—a sound with no warmth in it.)
Malice:
“No rules. No mercy. No accidents to hide behind.”
She tilts her head.
“You see, champions survive on escape routes. On technicalities. On referees saving them from consequences.”
She leans in.
“At OATHBOUND, we remove all of that.”
Alexandra Jones:
“You’re confident, given that the Bombshells are still the champions.”
(Regina scoffs.)
Regina:
“Confidence implies uncertainty.”
Her eyes harden.
“They are borrowing time. Borrowing gold. Borrowing relevance.”
She gestures subtly toward Malice.
“And time always demands repayment.”
(Malice steps forward now, eyes locked on the camera.)
Malice:
“Pinfall or submission only?”
She smiles wider.
“Good. I prefer to feel the moment they realize no one is coming to save them.”
(Alexandra remains steady.)
Alexandra Jones:
“Some would say that the Bombshells have grown since January. That they’re tougher. Smarter.”
(Regina laughs—openly mocking.)
Regina:
“They’ve grown louder.”
She waves a dismissive hand.
“Louder entrances. Brighter gear. Bigger smiles.”
Her voice drops.
“But when the lights dim… when the crowd stops cheering… when the referee can’t stop what’s happening…”
She looks directly into the lens.
“They will remember who we are.”
(Malice turns slightly, resting a hand against the Huntsman’s arm—he doesn’t react.)
Malice:
“Next week, the North Star Tag Team Championships don’t get won.”
She bares her teeth.
“They get taken.”
(A tense silence hangs.)
Alexandra Jones:
“OATHBOUND. No disqualifications. No countouts. One way out.”
She nods once.
“Back to you.”
(The camera lingers a moment longer on Regina and Malice—unblinking, unmoved—before cutting away.)
Entrances & Ring Introductions
Celeste Orion:
“Introducing first… a sisterhood bound by shadow and silence…”
The arena lights dim to a cold silver hue. Glint Grimm steps through the curtain first, expression unreadable, followed closely by Shade Grimm, her eyes fixed on the ring. Their movements are synchronized but restrained—no grand gestures, just purpose. The crowd responds with a low, building chant.
KC Rogers:
“The Grimm Sisters never waste energy.”
Vera Steele:
“Because everything they do is intentional.”
Celeste Orion:
“And their opponents… accompanied by Mad Hatter… they are the Queens of Punishment!”
A burst of red and black lighting floods the stage. Crimson Viper struts out with a sharp grin, Dark Duchess stalking just behind her. Mad Hatter lingers at ringside, clapping slowly, mockingly, as the Queens slide into the ring.
KC Rogers:
“This team feeds off chaos.”
Vera Steele:
“And they’re not shy about creating it.”
(The referee signals for the bell.)
Minute 1
The match erupts instantly. Crimson Viper launches Glint Grimm with a release German suplex, Dark Duchess follows with a hurricanrana, but Glint snaps back with a Mournful Elbow, staggering both opponents before they retreat.

“No easing into this one.”
Vera Steele:
“Everybody wanted control immediately.”
Minute 2

Vera Steele:
“Duchess felt all of it.”
Minute 5

“Shade didn’t even consider quitting.”
Vera Steele:
“That tells you who you’re dealing with.”

“The Grimms are rotating beautifully.”
Vera Steele:
“They’re keeping fresh bodies involved.”
Minute 7

KC Rogers:
“Duchess fighting through pain.”
Vera Steele:
“She’s stubborn—sometimes dangerously so.”
Minute 8
Shade nails a lifting curb stomp, but Dark Duchess counters with a slick tilt-a-whirl headscissors, then tags Crimson Viper.
KC Rogers:
“Momentum swinging again.”
Vera Steele:
“No team staying in control long.”
Minute 9

KC Rogers:
“Viper connected flush.”
Vera Steele:
“That’s how she opens windows.”
Minute 10
Glint responds with Death’s Whisper, a reverse DDT, but Crimson Viper counters with a delayed vertical suplex before Glint tags Shade.

“Strength on display.”
Vera Steele:
“Both teams matching power.”

“Submission attempt cut short.”
Vera Steele:
“Viper reacted quickly.”

Vera Steele:
“They don’t let damage linger.”
Minute 13

KC Rogers:
“Great defense by Viper.”
Vera Steele:
“She’s reading Glint now.”
Minute 14
Shade charges with another spear, but Viper answers with Off With Their Heads, dropping Shade hard before Glint re-enters.
KC Rogers:
“These collisions are brutal.”
Vera Steele:
“Nobody’s pulling punches.”
Minute 15

KC Rogers:
“Viper refusing to fold.”
Vera Steele:
“But she’s slowing.”
Minute 16

KC Rogers:
“Reversal—center of the ring!”
Vera Steele:
“That’s it!”
THE GRIMM SISTERS DEFEAT QUEENS OF PUNISHMENT VIA PINFALL AT THE 16:00 MINUTE MARK
KC Rogers:
“Efficient. Ruthless. The Grimm Sisters did exactly what they needed to do.”
Vera Steele:
“They absorbed pressure, found the opening, and ended it decisively. That’s championship-level tag wrestling.”
KC Rogers:
“The tag division just got clearer—and more dangerous.”
Entrances & Introductions
Celeste Orion:
“From the shadows of the Demonic Legion… guided by temptation, sharpened by cruelty… she walks the line between devotion and destruction… accompanied by her mentor, the Queen of the Night herself… LILITH…
this is… VEEEEELOOOORA SYNN!”
Velora Synn emerges through crimson lighting, her movements deliberate and predatory. Lilith follows a step behind, composed and regal, eyes never leaving the ring. Velora pauses at the ramp, rolls her shoulders, and smirks toward the crowd before sliding under the ropes and rising slowly to her feet.
KC Rogers:
“Velora Synn looks completely locked in tonight, and you can feel Lilith’s presence like a shadow over this entire match.”
Vera Steele:
“This is not just Velora’s fight, KC. This is a test. Lilith doesn’t accompany protégés unless something bigger is at stake.”
Celeste Orion:
“And her opponent… a cornerstone of Northern Belles… a warrior forged through decades of battles, triumphs, and heartbreak…
she fights not for legacy… but for what still lies ahead…
she is… MRS. CLAUUUUUS!”
The arena erupts as Mrs. Claus steps onto the stage, soaking in the reaction. She nods to the crowd, jaw set, eyes focused. She marches to the ring with purpose, slapping the apron before stepping between the ropes and turning directly toward Velora — never once acknowledging Lilith.
KC Rogers:
“Listen to this crowd — Mrs. Claus still commands respect every single time she walks out here.”
Vera Steele:
“And tonight she’s not here for nostalgia. She’s here to prove she’s still dangerous… and Velora’s already felt that stare.”
Mrs. Claus and Velora Synn meet in the center of the ring, neither backing down. Lilith circles the outside slowly, a faint smile on her lips as the referee calls for the bell.
KC Rogers:
“This is the biggest test of Velora Synn’s career.”
Vera Steele:
“And possibly the most important match Mrs. Claus has had in years.”
Bell rings.
Minute 1
Velora Synn charges early, grabbing Mrs. Claus by the head and snapping her down with a sharp reverse bulldog to establish control. Mrs. Claus pops back up quickly and fires a stiff kick into Velora’s midsection, halting the momentum and forcing separation.
KC Rogers: “Both women wasting no time—Velora strikes first, but Mrs. Claus answers immediately. This is already heated.”
Vera Steele: “That kick wasn’t desperation, KC. That was intent. Mrs. Claus is here to prove she belongs in this spot.”
Minute 2
Mrs. Claus steps in aggressively, driving a rolling forearm smash across Velora’s jaw and knocking her backward. Velora stumbles, unable to fully brace for the impact as Mrs. Claus presses forward.
KC Rogers: “Mrs. Claus with that rolling forearm—clean, sharp, and perfectly timed.”
Vera Steele: “Velora’s rhythm just broke. That’s what experience does—it disrupts confidence.”
Minute 3
Velora attempts another reverse bulldog, but Mrs. Claus plants her feet, blocks it, and shoves Velora away. Mrs. Claus capitalizes with short strikes that keep Velora from regrouping.
KC Rogers: “Excellent awareness from Mrs. Claus—she saw it coming and shut it down.”
Vera Steele: “Velora’s offense thrives on flow. Interrupt it, and suddenly she’s mortal.”
Minute 4
Velora regains composure and snaps Mrs. Claus down with a clean reverse bulldog this time. Mrs. Claus responds almost instantly, rocking Velora with another kick to the midsection to keep the exchange even.
KC Rogers: “Back and forth—neither woman giving an inch.”
Vera Steele: “This is pride wrestling now. Neither wants to blink first.”
Minute 5
Mrs. Claus steps inside Velora’s guard and cracks her with a brutal backhand chop across the chest, echoing through the arena. Velora absorbs it but clearly feels the sting.
KC Rogers: “That chop landed flush—Mrs. Claus digging deep.”
Vera Steele: “That’s not just pain, KC. That’s a message.”
Minute 6
As Mrs. Claus moves in, Lilith draws the referee’s attention from the floor. With the distraction in place, Mrs. Claus traps Velora on the mat and cinches in the Claus Clutch, wrenching back hard. Velora claws and struggles, refusing to submit as the hold tightens.
KC Rogers: “Mrs. Claus has it locked in! Velora’s in serious trouble!”
Vera Steele: “And Lilith knows exactly what she’s doing—but Velora surviving this says a lot about her resilience.”
Minute 7
Velora muscles free and tries to swing momentum with a German suplex attempt, but Mrs. Claus drops her weight and blocks it, forcing Velora to disengage.
KC Rogers: “Mrs. Claus shuts it down again!”
Vera Steele: “That’s veteran leverage. Velora keeps running into a wall.”
Minute 8
Velora explodes forward, hooking Mrs. Claus and driving her into the mat with a pedigree. Mrs. Claus absorbs the impact hard, rolling to her side as Velora rises with renewed confidence.
KC Rogers: “Pedigree connects! That could change everything!”
Vera Steele: “That’s the strike Velora needed—precision over emotion.”
Minute 9
After a brief reset, both women collide again—Velora landing another reverse bulldog, Mrs. Claus answering with a chopping strike that snaps Velora’s head back.
KC Rogers: “Neither woman backing down—strike for strike!”
Vera Steele: “This crowd is watching two wills collide, not just bodies.”
Minute 10
Velora hoists Mrs. Claus with a German suplex, dumping her hard on the mat. Mrs. Claus scrambles up and fires back with another kick to the midsection to keep Velora honest.
KC Rogers: “Suplex from Velora—but Mrs. Claus refuses to stay down!”
Vera Steele: “She’s absorbing punishment and still swinging. That’s dangerous.”
Minute 11
Lilith subtly slips something into Velora’s hand while the referee’s view is blocked. Before Velora can capitalize, Mrs. Claus steps in and blasts her with a backhand chop, forcing Velora to drop the object unseen.
KC Rogers: “Did you see that—Mrs. Claus cut her off instantly!”
Vera Steele: “That’s instincts. Mrs. Claus sensed something was off and acted.”
Minute 12
Velora surges again, planting Mrs. Claus with another pedigree. Mrs. Claus, battered but defiant, fires back with yet another chop as she rises.
KC Rogers: “Velora stacking offense now—but Mrs. Claus still swinging!”
Vera Steele: “This is stubbornness meeting cruelty.”
Minute 13
Velora hits a snapmare and follows with a sharp kick. Mrs. Claus rebounds and launches herself with a flying dropkick that sends Velora down. Mrs. Claus dives for the cover, but Velora kicks out quickly.
KC Rogers: “Near fall! Velora barely escapes!”
Vera Steele: “That was the opening—but not quite the moment.”
Minute 14
Velora lands another reverse bulldog, but Mrs. Claus answers with a crushing Claus Crunch, flattening Velora. Mrs. Claus hooks the leg—Velora kicks out just in time.
KC Rogers: “So close! The Claus Crunch nearly ended it!”
Vera Steele: “Velora’s survival instinct is all that’s keeping her alive.”
Minute 15
Velora swings for the Kiss of Damnation, but Mrs. Claus powers through the motion and crashes down with another Claus Crunch, stacking Velora flat and driving her shoulders to the mat.
KC Rogers: “Claus Crunch again—this could be it!”
Vera Steele: “That’s it. That’s the moment.”
1…2…3
MRS. CLAUS DEFEATS VELORA SYNN VIA PINFALL AT 15 MINUTES
(Claus Crunch – Standing Splash)
Mrs. Claus rises slowly, chest heaving, and turns her attention away from Velora—locking eyes with Lilith at ringside. The stare is unbroken. Unflinching. A clear challenge.
KC Rogers: “Mrs. Claus just pinned one of the Demonic Legion’s most dangerous competitors—and now she’s staring straight through Lilith.”
Vera Steele: “That wasn’t celebration. That was a promise. Lilith, your time is coming.”
The camera lingers as Lilith smirks coldly… and Mrs. Claus does not look away.
KC Rogers:
“What a night here at the Camelot Coliseum. Northern Belles Episode 018 delivered from top to bottom — power, rivalry, and a main event that may have changed the landscape of the Queen of the North division.”
Vera Steele:
“You’re not wrong, KC. We saw Mother Earth make her presence felt, Valka survive a brutal debut test, and two tag team wars that showed just how thin the margin is between dominance and disaster in this division.”
KC Rogers:
“And in our main event — Mrs. Claus defeats Velora Synn. A statement victory. Not just over one of the most dangerous competitors in Northern Belles… but right in front of Lilith.”
Vera Steele:
“That stare said everything. Mrs. Claus didn’t say a word, but the message was crystal clear — she’s done waiting. Lilith has the crown, and now she’s got someone walking straight toward it.”
KC Rogers:
“But before we get there, we turn our attention to next week — because Northern Belles will be off the air as all roads lead to OATHBOUND.”
Vera Steele:
“And make no mistake — OATHBOUND is stacked.”
KC Rogers:
“For the North Star Tag Team Championship — the Blonde Bombshells defend their titles against the Queens of Despair. No countouts. No disqualifications. Pinfall or submission only.”
Vera Steele:
“Regina and Malice already proved they can survive the champions. At OATHBOUND, they intend to end them.”
KC Rogers:
“And for the Queen of the North Championship — Lilith puts her crown on the line against Snow White.”
Vera Steele:
“Power versus purity. Darkness versus defiance. And if Lilith survives that… she may still have Mrs. Claus waiting on the other side.”
KC Rogers:
“And that brings us to March 1st — Northern Belles returns with a massive announcement already locked in.”
Vera Steele:
“A #1 Contender’s Match — Mrs. Claus versus Moonshadow. One earns the right to challenge for the Queen of the North Championship.”
KC Rogers:
“So enjoy OATHBOUND… because when Northern Belles returns, the path to the crown becomes unavoidable.”
Vera Steele:
“For KC Rogers… I’m Vera Steele.”
KC Rogers:
“This has been Northern Belles. Good night — and we’ll see you on the other side of OATHBOUND.”
