NORTHERN BELLES
THE NEW ERA BEGINS NOW

[Text fades in:]
LIVE FROM THE NORTH POLE ARENA
🎵 [Final cymbal crash. Logo fades out.]
ENTER CRIMSON VANE
The camera fades in from the opening montage to the dimly lit Hunters Enclave dressing room. Weapons and hunting trophies line the walls, casting jagged shadows under the low, amber light. At the center, Van Helsing stands with an air of authority, speaking quietly to Gretel and the striking redheaded mystery woman he had earlier addressed as Vane.
VANE – “Why did you send her alone to HCW with those monsters lurking there?”
Her voice carries more than concern—there’s an edge, almost a challenge.
GRETEL – “She’s not alone. Mina Harker is there with her.”
The name hangs in the air like smoke. Van Helsing’s lips press into a thin line, his brow knitting. For just a moment, his eyes betray something deeper—a wound from July still unhealed.
VAN HELSING – “You need to give your sister more credit. She has grown immensely since you last saw her years ago. She is quite capable of handling herself.”
VANE – “But you know, Van Helsing… about her…”
Her voice falters, unwilling to say it outright.
VAN HELSING – “Fear not. She is in complete control. It has not emerged, nor have there been any signs it would.”
Vane exhales slowly, but her frown deepens.
VANE – “…Maybe I should go south and see for myself…”
VAN HELSING – “You need to let your sister do her own thing. You remember what happened the last time you were too overprotective?”
Vane’s mouth opens to reply—
—but the door swings open, and Ms. Sweetins, General Manager of Northern Belles, steps in. She carries herself with businesslike poise, though her eyes flick briefly toward Van Helsing with a subtle spark.
MS. SWEETINS – “Good evening, everyone. I hope I’m not interrupting.”
VAN HELSING – “Not at all. What do we owe the pleasure?”
He offers her a courteous smile. She blushes, ever so slightly, before clearing her throat.
MS. SWEETINS – “Gretel, your scheduled match tonight against the Coven’s Morrigan is being changed to a tag team bout. You’ll now be facing Morrigan and Wicked Willow. Can you find a partner, or should I call in an enhancement talent? I know the Enclave is a little short-handed.”
Gretel pauses, thinking. Her gaze slides toward Vane.
GRETEL – “So… do you think you’d be up for a fight tonight?”
The redhead’s lips curl into a sly smile.
VANE – “You know… I could use some physical activity to work out a few frustrations.”
MS. SWEETINS – “Excellent.”
She quickly produces a clipboard with a fresh contract clipped to it.
MS. SWEETINS – “I just need your signature right here.”
Without hesitation, Vane scrawls her name across the page. Ms. Sweetins looks up, pen still in hand.
MS. SWEETINS – “So… what are we going to call you?”
Vane straightens, her eyes glinting under the warm light as she speaks with deliberate weight.
VANE – “I am Crimson Vane… daughter of the Hood… bane of the Wolf…”
The camera lingers on her face, that mix of elegance and danger, before fading out.
[END SCENE]
THIS WEEK’S RUNDOWN
[After the opening montage ends graphics detailing the matches airing tonight begin to display with KC Rogers voicing over the details …]
[CAMERAS CUT BACK TO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE]
The arena lights glisten off the ring ropes as the crowd buzzes after the chilling vignette. Hana Nakamura and Vera “The Iron Maiden” Steele are framed at the announce desk, each with their headset on, a sea of excited fans roaring behind them.
HANA NAKAMURA (calm, deliberate tone) – "Ladies and gentlemen, what an opening we’ve just witnessed. The Hinter’s Enclave — shrouded in mystery as always — and now, we have a new name to remember… Crimson Vane. A dangerous new presence who’s making her debut tonight, teaming with Gretel to take on Morrigan and Wicked Willow of The Coven."
VERA STEELE (leaning forward, smirking) – "You’re right, Hana, and I’ve gotta tell you… this Crimson Vane? She’s got that look in her eye. You can just tell she’s not here to play nice. Gretel’s got herself a partner who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, and against The Coven, you need that kind of edge."
HANA – "Tonight’s card is stacked from top to bottom. In just moments, we’ll see Snow White — a pure technician with the heart of a champion — square off with Malice, who’s as unpredictable as she is dangerous. That match could set the tone for the entire evening."
VERA – "And let’s not forget the big one, Hana. The Queen of the North Title is on the line in our Main Event. Goldie Locks has been practically untouchable, but tonight she faces the Wicked Witch — someone who can twist the rules and the ring to her advantage. This is not a fairy tale where the heroine always wins."
HANA – "High stakes, fierce rivalries, and a crowd here at the North Pole Arena ready to see it all unfold. Northern Belles Episode 007 is just getting started — so stay with us, because the action tonight promises to be unforgettable."
VERA – "I hope you brought your appetite for chaos, folks — because tonight, we’re serving it by the plateful!"
[CAMERA PANS TO CROWD, FANS WAVING SIGNS AS MUSIC HITS FOR THE NEXT SEGMENT]
SWEET SOMETHINGS
“From teacups to tap-outs, Ms. Sweetins sees all.”
The shot fades in on an opulent, dimly lit sitting room—velvet drapes in deep burgundy, a roaring fireplace, and a chandelier glinting in the warm light. The centerpiece of the scene is a high-backed, gold-trimmed armchair, and in it sits Ms. Sweetins, the ever-stoic Executive General Manager of the Women’s Division—except tonight, she’s all glamour. She’s dressed in a shimmering midnight-blue evening gown, pearls draped around her neck, and a teacup daintily balanced in one hand. Her expression is equal parts gracious hostess and sly observer.
Ms. Sweetins (smiling knowingly): “Good evening, my darlings… and welcome to another installment of Sweet Somethings—your one-stop soirée for all the whispers, wonders, and wicked little tidbits from around the Northern Belles division. Now, I know you all expect your dear Ms. Sweetins to be the picture of poise, but tonight—just for you—I’ll loosen the pearls, pour a little extra sugar in the tea, and tell you what’s really going on behind the curtain.”
She takes a slow sip, then leans forward conspiratorially.
1. Polly Mason’s Mysterious Arrival
“Let’s begin with the question on everyone’s lips—who really sent Polly Mason to NPCW? Was our fiery little spitfire truly acting of her own free will, or was there… shall we say… a darker hand guiding her path? I’ve heard whispers—whispers that trace all the way to factions most foul. Was she a rogue adventurer, or merely a pawn in someone else’s chess game? Mmm… deliciously unclear.”
2. The Hunters’ Enclave Exodus
“Now, some of you still have not recovered from the Hunter’s Enclave heartbreak—Scarlett Howl and Mina Harker are making waves in HCW, yes, but their departure has left a gaping void here in NPCW. And into that void steps the intriguing new presence of Crimson Vane. The question, my dears, is whether she will be a faithful hunter… or the kind of predator who turns on her own. Personally, I always keep an extra set of silver bullets, just in case.”
3. New Faces on the Horizon
“Oh, and for those of you who think you’ve seen every diva, damsel, and demoness the North Pole has to offer—brace yourselves. My sources tell me that as August draws to a close and September sweeps in with its crisp air, we will be seeing new faces here in NPCW. Some will dazzle you, some will shock you, and some… might just make you wish you hadn’t wished for change.”
4. A New Power Behind the Curtain
“Speaking of changes—there’s a new face behind the scenes at NPCW. I will not name names—yet. But I will ask the question: is this gentleman our long-awaited saviour… or is he something far, far more sinister? Time, my loves, always reveals the truth—but never before it’s ready.”
5. Dave Kent’s Basement Blues
“Finally, a little palate cleanser—let’s talk about dear, dear Dave Kent. Our resident rabble-rouser in the bunker seems to be spending a suspicious amount of time locked away in his mother’s basement. Now, I’m not one to judge a man’s lifestyle choices… but sources tell me he might want to invest in a touch of deodorant before he attempts to ‘storm the gates’ again. Trust me, darling, nothing undermines righteous fury faster than eau de unwashed laundry.”
Ms. Sweetins sets her teacup down with a soft clink, her lips curling into a knowing smile.
Ms. Sweetins:
“And with that, my little snowflakes, I leave you with thoughts to ponder and questions to keep you up at night. Remember—around here, the ice may be frozen… but the gossip is always hot.”
The camera slowly fades out as she takes another graceful sip of tea.
Hana Nakamura: "Minasan, welcome to Northern Belles Episode 007! We are live and ready for MATCH ONE — a clash between the ever-graceful Sugar Plum Fairy and the debuting market mischief-maker herself, Penny Coppersnap! Hai, Vera, tonight we see the fairy magic versus… goblin charm?"
Vera Steele: "That’s right, Hana. Penny’s coming in with a lot of energy and some very unorthodox offense. She’s quick, she’s chaotic, but she’ll have to prove she can hang with someone as technically precise as Sugar Plum Fairy. This could be an intriguing style clash."
Hana: "The referee is ‘Honest’ Abbie — she’ll keep this one fair and square. Let’s see who shines brightest!"
Hana: "Oh! Right from the bell, both are darting around, trading holds, but Penny— oi! —WICKED SPINNER SPECIAL! Spinning Snapmare Driver in her debut opening minute!"
Vera: "That was crisp. She planted Sugar Plum Fairy clean — good torque on the neck there."
Hana: "Penny doesn’t waste time — SHINY SNATCH DIVE! Suicide dive to the outside!"
Vera: "Excellent timing. She’s pushing the pace early, forcing Sugar Plum to work from behind."
Hana: "Sugar Plum sends Penny over the ropes — wait, no! Penny counters mid-flow with the Glimmerbomb Toss!"
Vera: "That’s a smart counter — explosive hip pop to send Sugar Plum flying. But she took her time re-entering the ring. That could cost her later."
Hana: "Double offense! Sugar Rush Splash meets Head Hex Driver!"
Vera: "Neither woman’s giving an inch. We’re seeing trading bombs instead of testing the waters."
Hana: "A reverse high kick from Sugar Plum — but Penny lands the Greed Goblin Slam! Michinoku Driver executed perfectly!"
Vera: "That’s two clean drivers from Penny. She’s establishing that she can land her big moves anytime."
Hana: "Another Greed Goblin Slam! Sugoi! She’s going deep into that pouch of tricks!"
Vera: "And Sugar Plum is absorbing a lot of punishment on that neck."
Hana: "Snapsnare Suplex! And another Pixie Kick Pop — HAI! She’s chaining them together!"
Vera: "Penny’s awkward style is deceptive. The strikes aren’t textbook, but they’re effective."
Hana: "Sugar Plum’s Monkey Flip meets Penny’s suplex again! And another Michinoku Driver from the goblin girl!"
Vera: "Sugar Plum is starting to match Penny’s speed with her own high-impact moves — this is turning into a true back-and-forth."
Hana: "Sugar Rush Splash connects! STO connects! She’s on a run!"
Vera: "Finally some sustained offense from Sugar Plum — she’s wrestling smart now, picking her moments instead of matching Penny’s chaos."
Hana: "Market Pounders! Penny using those goblin hammers to full effect!"
Vera: "That’s classic double-axe handle power, dressed up in a playful package."
Hana: "It’s move-for-move! Moonsault, DDT, Dropkick, Suplex — nani!? They’re practically mirroring each other!"
Vera: "At this point it’s about conditioning. Who’s got the lungs to go the distance?"
Hana: "Sugar Plum sends Penny to the floor! Almost counted out at eight! Standing Moonsault! Pin attempt! Ichi… Ni… NO! Kickout!"
Vera: "That was the closest fall yet. Penny’s resilience is impressive."
Hana: "WICKED SPINNER SPECIAL again! Then Market Pounders! Then a Glimmerbomb Toss! Mamma mia!"
Vera: "Penny’s got stamina — she’s pulling out heavy moves late in the match. That’s rare for a debut."
Hana: "Monkey Flip meets Snapsnare Suplex! Twinkle Toes DDT meets another WICKED SPINNER SPECIAL! Guillotine Choke! But Penny escapes!"
Vera: "Both are running on fumes. Now it’s about instinct and survival."
Hana: "Back Handspring Headscissors from Sugar Plum! Trinket Twister from Penny! Last seconds — Penny tries a Glimmerbomb but Sugar neutralizes! Time expires! Jikan da!"
Vera: "After 30 minutes, we have a draw. That was a relentless debut for Penny Coppersnap and a gritty performance from Sugar Plum Fairy."
Hana (closing): "No winner tonight, but ahhh, what a magical — and mischievous — contest to start the evening!"
Vera: "Both women proved they could hang for the full distance. I think we’ll be seeing this rivalry again."
THE WITCH’S CACKLE
The camera fades in on the buzzing backstage interview set, where the NPCW Northern Belles logo glows behind a sleek podium. Alexandra Jones, all poise and polish in a shimmering winter-blue blazer, holds the microphone like she’s about to break the story of the year. To her right stands the Witch’s Coven — The Alpha Witch Wicked Witch front and center in her emerald-black robes, her ever-smirking second-in-command Wicked Willow lurking at her side, Morrigan’s shadowy presence glowering just behind them, and La Bruja Muerte standing silent and sinister in her skeletal veil.
Alexandra Jones: with a warm-but-measured smile “Ladies and gentlemen, Alexandra Jones here with four women who have been rewriting the rules of the NPCW Women’s Division — The Witch’s Coven. Tonight, you face Hunters Enclave’s Gretel and newcomer Crimson Vane. A dangerous pairing… but surely one you’ve prepared for?”
Wicked Witch: slowly turns her head toward Alexandra, her painted lips curling into an amused grin “Prepared? My dear, when the Coven steps into the ring, it’s not us who need to prepare. Gretel and this… fresh-faced Crimson Vane may think they’re hunters — but hunters without their pack are just prey. And after tonight? They’ll learn what it feels like to be cornered by something far more powerful than wolves in the dark.”
Wicked Willow: chiming in with a playful, venom-laced tone “And let’s be honest, Alexandra… the Hunters Enclave? They’ve been a little… hollow lately. No Scarlett Howl. No Mina Harker. Just scraps left behind. We’ll feast on them, then move on to a real meal.”
Alexandra Jones: “And that ‘real meal’ you’re referring to — I assume you mean Shadowfall, where you’ll challenge the Blonde Bombshells, Dorothy and Alice, for the North Star Tag Team Championships?”
Morrigan: her voice low and cutting “They prance, they sparkle, they play hero for the cameras. But in the end, gold shines brightest in our hands. Shadowfall will be the day the Blonde Bombshells’ fairy tale ends… and our reign begins.”
Wicked Witch: “Those belts belong to the Coven, Alexandra. They always have. Shadowfall will simply be… the ceremony where we claim what’s ours.”
Alexandra Jones: “Speaking of championships — Wicked Witch, later tonight, you step into the ring with Goldie, Queen of the North Champion. If you win, you’ll make history as the first-ever two-time Queen of the North Champion.”
Wicked Witch: leans toward the mic, her eyes gleaming like a storm brewing “Not if, Alexandra. When. Goldie is a capable little snowflake, I’ll give her that. But she’s been living in a borrowed kingdom, wearing my crown. Tonight, the frost melts. Tonight, I reclaim my throne, my gold, my glory. The Age of the Coven will not be denied.”
Alexandra Jones: “And La Bruja Muerte — you have your own high-stakes match at Shadowfall against Mrs. Claus herself. A lot of history there. Thoughts?”
La Bruja Muerte: voice like a whisper from the grave “She has walked these halls too long. Her light blinds, her hope infects. At Shadowfall… I end the myth. Permanently.”
Wicked Witch: placing a hand on Bruja’s shoulder “We’ve tolerated Mrs. Claus’ meddling for far too long. Her smiling crusade ends at Shadowfall. The Coven will purge her from NPCW, and the darkness will finally be free to reign… without her tiresome jingling in the background.”
Wicked Willow: laughs, tilting her head toward the camera “And when the snow settles? The Coven’s shadow will stretch over every title, every corner, every heartbeat of this division.”
Alexandra Jones: keeping composure despite the creeping chill in the air “Strong words from the Witch’s Coven. Tonight, Gretel and Crimson Vane. At Shadowfall… perhaps total domination. We’ll find out soon enough. Back to ringside.”
The Coven leans in together, their laughter low and haunting, as the camera fades back to the arena.
Hana Nakamura: "Minna-san! Welcome back to Northern Belles Episode 007! And ohhh, Vera-san, this is a special treat—Glint Grimm is making her debut here on Northern Belles!"
Vera Steele: "Absolutely, Hana. Glint Grimm has made a name for herself in the independents as a graceful, almost spectral competitor. She calls herself ‘The Wandering Spirit of the Ring.’ Not someone you expect to see brawling in the streets—she’s here to tell stories with her movement, with her presence."
Hana: "Hai! And on the other side, we have the regal and ruthless Regina the Evil Queen, flanked by her ever-loyal Huntsman. Regina does not give gifts in the ring—only punishment."
Vera: "She’s one of the most cunning in NPCW. A match like this is a real test for Glint: how do you handle raw power, veteran experience, and a manager who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty?"
The lights dim and a thin, silvery mist rolls across the ramp. A haunting chime drifts through the arena as Glint Grimm steps into the spotlight, dressed in flowing silver-white gear that catches the light like moonlit snow. She moves slowly, deliberately, her pale gaze fixed forward. Fans reach out, and she brushes her fingertips across their hands like a ghost passing through a dream.
Then—sharp contrast. Trumpets and an ominous string section blare out as Regina the Evil Queen strides to the ring in her black-and-crimson gown-like gear, crown glinting, and a cruel smirk on her lips. The Huntsman trails behind, eyes scanning the crowd for anyone daring to boo too loudly.
Hana: "Oooohhh, shivers! Glint’s entrance is like stepping into another world, ne?"
Vera: "Yes, but that world’s about to collide with the Queen’s court—and collisions with Regina usually end painfully."
From the bell, Glint surprises the Queen with sudden bursts of offense—her Final Descent sitout powerbomb draws gasps from the crowd right in the opening minute, earning her an early lead. But Regina answers with brutal power, hitting a scoop powerslam and hair mares to reassert dominance.
By the fourth minute, Huntsman earns his keep—slipping in a Heavy Boot Echo behind the referee’s back—but Glint rebounds, chaining fluid counters into her Phantom Fall neckbreaker.
Hana: "Sugoi! Glint moves like water, slipping away and striking back. She is... uncatchable!"
Vera: "That’s her strength—fluidity. But she’ll need to be careful; Regina’s not above grinding you down piece by piece."
Regina pushes hard in the middle stretch—Diving Elbow Drops, stomps, even multiple pin attempts after interference. Glint sells the punishment masterfully, her ethereal poise cracking just enough to show the strain. Every time she’s down, she seems to will herself back with a flicker of determination in her pale eyes.
By the twelfth minute, Glint nearly steals it with a Veil Breaker running clothesline and pin, but Regina kicks out. The crowd begins to rally behind the newcomer—chants of "GLINT! GLINT! GLINT!" rising in the frosty arena.
Hana: "The people love her spirit! Even if she falls, she will rise again—like a yūrei who will not rest!"
Vera: "That’s poetic, Hana—but poetry alone doesn’t keep your shoulders off the mat."
The closing moments are dramatic. Regina throws everything at Glint—sleeper holds, scoop slams, flying dropkicks—but the ghostly grappler refuses to stay down. In the 26th minute, Regina goes for another big move, but Glint slips free, spins, and hits her Moonlit Crossing bridging Northern Lights suplex.
Hana: "Moonlit Crossing! Moonlit Crossing! Ittaaa!!!"
Vera: "Perfect bridge! That’s as tight as it gets—"
Referee Honest Abbie: 1... 2... 3!
The bell rings and the crowd erupts. Glint releases the bridge and rises slowly, mist curling in the air around her as if the arena itself breathes with her victory. Regina glares in disbelief while the Huntsman protests loudly to the referee.
Hana: "Shōri! Victory for Glint Grimm on her debut! Regina has been dethroned—tonight!"
Vera: "This is a statement. Glint just proved she’s not here to be a novelty act—she can hang with top-tier competition. The Queen will not forget this, and neither will the Huntsman."
Glint offers a faint, respectful bow to the crowd before disappearing into the mist, leaving Regina seething in the ring.
Hana Nakamura: "Minna-san, we are ready for our third bout of the evening! This one is going to be a real clash of styles—Athena, the self-proclaimed Goddess of War, accompanied by Zeus, versus the high-energy and fearless Sparkle!"
Vera Steele: "This will be about tempo control, Hana. Sparkle thrives when she can pick up the pace, throw in quick bursts of offense, and keep her opponent guessing. Athena, on the other hand, will be looking to slow it down, use her strength, and punish every mistake."
Hana: "Sou desu ne, Vera-san! And with Zeus lurking at ringside, Athena always has a little extra thunder in her corner!"
1st Minute: Sparkle opens hot, catching Athena off guard with a big Sidewalk Slam.
Hana: "Oooooh! Sparkle, right from the start! Sidewalk Slam! She is showing no fear!"
Vera: "Good choice. That plants Athena and makes her think twice about charging in recklessly."
2nd Minute: Athena fires back instantly—Wisdom’s Wrath (Pedigree) hits flush.
Hana: "BAM! Wisdom’s Wrath! She turned the tide in just one move, Vera-san!"
Vera: "That’s the danger of Athena—one opening and she capitalizes completely."
3rd Minute: Both try to feel out the other, but Sparkle seizes an opportunity—Snap Suplex!
Hana: "Snap suplex, yatta! Sparkle with that beautiful bridge through the hips—classic technique!"
Vera: "Smart to go back to fundamentals there, it keeps Athena grounded."
4th Minute: Athena regains control with another Wisdom’s Wrath, driving Sparkle face-first into the mat.
Hana: "Another Wisdom’s Wrath—Athena is making a statement!"
Vera: "Repetition here works to her advantage—Sparkle will start anticipating it, and that’s when Athena can shift tactics."
5th Minute: Athena traps Sparkle in the corner—Shield Bash (Shoulder Thrust)!
Hana: "Ooooohhh! Zenryoku! Full power into that Shield Bash!"
Vera: "That’s a veteran move—punish the body and sap her stamina."
6th Minute: Zeus distracts the referee and even roughs him up, but Athena avoids disqualification.
Hana: "Zeus with the—ah! Tossing the referee! But Abbie’s tough, she’s back up!"
Vera: "That’s where the danger lies with having Zeus at ringside—it changes the match psychology completely."
7th Minute: Pallas Drop (Gorilla Press Slam) from Athena sends Sparkle crashing.
Hana: "She lifts her high—Pallas Drop! Like throwing a shooting star from the heavens!"
Vera: "And it’s all power, no wasted movement. That’s what makes Athena dangerous."
8th Minute: Athena keeps pressing—Goddess Bomb (Powerbomb) nearly flattens Sparkle.
Hana: "BOOOOM! Goddess Bomb! Muri da—how much more can Sparkle take?"
Vera: "She’ll need to find an opening quickly, or this is ending soon."
9th Minute: Sparkle finds a lifeline—Lance Crab submission!
Hana: "She’s got it locked in! Lance Crab—knee torque and back pressure!"
Vera: "If she can keep Athena in this hold, it could slow her down considerably."
10th Minute: Both go for offense—Athena nails Huntress Spear, Sparkle lands a Spin Kick.
Hana: "SPEAR! And—OH! Spin kick from Sparkle! This is turning into a slugfest!"
Vera: "Both women landed clean; this is now about who recovers first."
11th Minute: Sparkle with Inverted DDT!
Hana: "Sparkle still has fight—Inverted DDT! Sugoi!"
Vera: "She’s digging deep. This is the kind of resilience that makes her a fan favorite."
12th Minute (Finish): Athena powers through, Huntress Spear! She hooks the leg—1...2...3!
Hana: "Huntress Spear! That’s it! Ittaaaaa!!! Athena takes the victory!"
Vera: "Athena with the decisive strike—Sparkle fought hard, but the Goddess of War proved too strong tonight."
Athena rises, arms outstretched like a conquering deity, while Zeus bellows at ringside, pointing to the crowd. Sparkle sits up slowly, clutching her ribs but earning applause for her grit.
Hana: "What a fight! Sparkle’s heart is bigger than her frame, but tonight the goddess reigns supreme."
Vera: "Athena not only showed her power, but her ability to take control after adversity. That’s the mark of a true contender."
MAID MARION
The camera cuts to the bustling backstage area, the hum of the crowd in the arena bleeding faintly into the background. Alexandra Jones, mic in hand and all business, stands beside Maid Marion, who’s still in her ring gear and clearly fired up.
Alexandra Jones: “Maid Marion, we just watched Athena score a decisive win over Sparkle moments ago. I know there’s some bad blood between you two after what went down with the Merry Band.”
Maid Marion: (eyes narrowed, voice sharp) “Bad blood? That’s putting it politely, Alex. Athena didn’t just ‘win’ — she and her so-called Mighty Gods ambushed me, Robin, Friar Tuck, and Little John like cowards. Four-on-one, two-on-one… it doesn’t matter. Athena, you strut around like you’re a goddess, but you won’t face me woman to woman. So here I am, calling you out. No sneak attacks. No backup. Just you and me, head-on.”
Before Alexandra can respond, a low chuckle echoes from just off camera. The crowd’s reaction in the arena spikes as Paul “The Grinch” Heyman strolls into frame, wearing his signature smug grin and clutching a thick manila envelope like it’s pure gold.
Grinch Heyman: “Oh, Maid Marion… such fire. Such passion. But maybe, before you go swinging your little verbal arrows, you should have a chat with your dear Robin. Tell him to… know his place. Because if he’s smart, he’ll reconsider stepping into the ring with Abaddon at Shadowfall.”
Maid Marion: (stepping forward, suspicious) “What’s in the envelope, Heyman?”
Grinch Heyman: (grinning wider, evasive) “Let’s just say… it’s something that could change everything for Robin. And for you.”
Heyman starts to turn away, but Marion grabs him by the arm, yanking him back toward her.
Maid Marion: “You’re not walking away until you tell me exactly—”
Before she can finish, Athena explodes into the shot from out of nowhere, blindsiding Marion with a hard forearm to the jaw. The mic clatters to the floor as the two women brawl violently against the concrete wall, fists flying. Security scrambles into the frame to pull them apart as Heyman stands off to the side, holding the envelope and watching with almost gleeful amusement.
Grinch Heyman: (calling over the chaos) “Consider that… a preview, Marion!”
The two are still shouting and struggling against security as the camera abruptly cuts back to ringside.
Hana Nakamura: “Minasan, welcome back! We are set for Match Four tonight — Snow White against the menacing Malice, who comes with the Huntsman at her side. Ohhh, this will be sugoi!”
Vera “The Iron Maiden” Steele: “And it should be a fascinating clash of styles, Hana. Snow White brings that unorthodox blend of grace and sudden impact, while Malice is a powerhouse technician with a nasty streak. The Huntsman’s presence could tip the scales if Honest Abbie can’t keep him in check.”
Hana: “Hai, hai, Vera-san. Let us see who can impose their style first!”
Hana: “And there’s the bell! Malice wastes no time — she’s got Snow White’s legs and— Cloverleaf! Right in the center of the ring!”
Vera: “That’s early-match confidence. Malice is trying to weaken the back right away. Smart play, though it’s rare to get a submission this soon.”
Hana: “Snow White fires back! Apple Splitter — BOOM! But wait— Malice catches her in a Modified Scorpion Crosslock! Both women with big offense in the same breath!”
Vera: “That exchange shows just how fast the momentum can swing. Snow White’s destroyer nearly flipped the script, but Malice showed great ring awareness.”
Hana: “Snow White with Witch’s Justice! Yatta! That modified Gory Bomb landed perfectly!”
Vera: “Clever setup. She used Malice’s own forward drive against her, transferring that momentum into the lift and drop.”
Hana: “Kiss of Spite — single knee facebreaker! Ohhh, that’s gotta rattle Malice’s jaw!”
Vera: “Execution was crisp. Snow White is doing a fine job chaining her signature moves together before Malice can reset.”
Hana: “Kiss of Life — bridging dragon suplex! But Malice counters with a Fallaway Slam!”
Vera: “Both connected. This is high-level, back-and-forth wrestling — neither giving an inch.”
Hana: “Snow White into the Gilded Grip! Arm drag right into an armbar — textbook smooth!”
Vera: “That’s where she can slow Malice down. Isolate a limb, take away some of that power game.”
Hana: “Another Witch’s Justice! But Malice catches her — spinning leghook fireman’s carry slam! Sugoi!”
Vera: “That was all about counter-timing. Malice anticipated the lift and adjusted mid-motion.”
Hana: “Thorn Crown Driver! And Malice answers instantly with a Snap Suplex — both women landing hard!”
Vera: “These are high-impact trades. The question is, who can sustain this pace?”
Hana: “Another Thorn Crown Driver! But Malice with a HUGE Powerbomb!”
Vera: “That’s Malice’s bread and butter — power moves to crush the pace. But Snow White keeps getting back up.”
Hana: “Thorn Crown Driver again! Malice with a Snap Suplex — these two are trading like warriors!”
Vera: “They’re showing tremendous conditioning here. This is turning into a battle of attrition.”
Hana: “Snow White goes airborne — Glass Coffin Dive to the outside! Oooooh!”
Vera: “Risky but effective. Malice took the brunt of that, but she’s smart enough to get back in before the count-out.”
Hana: “Snow White with the Enchanted Whirl! Spinning, spinning — Tornado DDT! Cover! 1… 2… 3! Shōri!”
Vera: “A clean, decisive win. Snow White weathered the power game and found her opening with speed and precision.”
Hana: “Snow White victorious over Malice! The Huntsman could not save her tonight!”
Hana Nakamura: “Minasan, welcome back! Up next, we have a thrilling tag match — the sinister duo Wicked Willow and Morrigan from the Witch’s Coven, facing Gretel and the debuting Crimson Vane! Crimson’s got a mysterious aura tonight, totemo exciting!”
Vera “The Iron Maiden” Steele: “Yes, Hana. Crimson Vane’s reputation precedes her, and with Gretel’s steady technical skills, they make a dangerous team. But the Coven is known for their ruthless tactics and ring chemistry — this will be a fascinating battle of dark versus light.”
Hana: “Morrigan starts strong, executing an Inverted D.D.T.! But Crimson Vane replies with a fierce Moonfang Kick! Sugoi!”
Vera: “Both competitors showing quick reflexes and aggressive intent. It’s impressive for a debut to step in and match the pace of a veteran like Morrigan.”
Hana: “Crimson goes for a Hunter’s Backbreaker Suplex — but Morrigan blocks it! Morrigan tags out to Wicked Willow.”
Vera: “Smart teamwork. Morrigan wisely tagged out to keep the pace for the Coven.”
Hana: “Wicked Willow flies in with a moonsault! Crimson tries to defend, but it connects clean! Followed by a somersault leg drop — beautiful execution!”
Vera: “Wicked Willow’s agility adds a dynamic edge to the Coven’s power-heavy offense.”
Hana: “Crimson fires back with another Moonfang Kick! Wicked Willow tags back in to counter with Widow’s Peak Neckbreaker.”
Vera: “The back-and-forth here is electric. Gretel’s getting warmed up, too, with a precise enzuigiri to Wicked Willow.”
Hana: “Gretel with a spinning heel kick — Wicked Willow falls! But wait, Gretel and Crimson are double teaming now! Pump Kick and Moonfang Kick combo, but Wicked Willow fights back with a somersault leg drop!”
Vera: “The double team shows excellent chemistry between the Hunters Enclave rookies, but the Coven’s resilience is remarkable.”
Hana: “Wicked Willow goes for the Black Widow Powerslam, but Gretel neutralizes it! Morrigan back in, delivering high-speed roundhouse kicks. Gretel counters with a rolling fireman’s carry — what exchanges!”
Vera: “Both teams are displaying technical prowess. The pacing is well managed by Honest Abbie.”
Hana: “Oh no! The Coven throws green mist into Gretel’s eyes — a perfect distraction! Gretel staggers, but fights back with a spinning heel kick.”
Vera: “The Coven’s underhanded tactics are in full display. Yet Gretel keeps her composure.”
Hana: “Gretel lands a sharp enzuigiri! But Morrigan returns the favor with a swift roundhouse kick.”
Vera: “The back-and-forth blows demonstrate the conditioning of all four competitors.”
Hana: “Wicked Willow and Morrigan double team Gretel — Widow’s Peak Neckbreaker and an inverted D.D.T.! But Gretel counters with a spinning heel kick!”
Vera: “Double teams can break momentum, but Gretel’s quick thinking keeps the match tight.”
Hana: “Gretel tags in Crimson Vane. Morrigan attacks with a running hip attack, but Crimson hits the Witchwood Drop — a Death Valley Driver! Sugoi, sugoku sugoi!”
Vera: “A phenomenal move for a debut! Crimson’s power and precision are undeniable.”
Hana: “Crimson locks in Vane’s Vice, a punishing Fujiwara Armbar! Wicked Willow is in trouble!”
Vera: “That submission hold will test Willow’s endurance.”
Hana: “Morrigan responds with a devastating brainbuster on Crimson Vane. The tides are turning again.”
Hana: “Morrigan with a spinning kick! Crimson counters with a Moonfang Kick, but Morrigan pins her — 1… 2… 3! Katsu!”
Vera: “Morrigan and the Coven come away with the victory after a grueling match. But Crimson Vane has made quite the statement in her debut.”
MRS. CLAUS CHAMPION OF HOPE
The camera opens on Santa’s Workshop bustling with activity. Rows of elves hurriedly assemble toys, their faces unusually somber. The air, usually filled with cheerful chatter and jingling bells, feels heavy — shadows creep slowly across the wooden floorboards, pooling in corners and stretching toward the center.
The main doors suddenly burst open with a gust of cold wind. Mrs. Claus enters, holding a softly glowing candle. Her eyes shine with determination beneath her warm, festive cloak.
She takes a deep breath, then begins to sing — her voice clear and full of warmth, breaking through the gloom.
Mrs. Claus’ Song: "Light the Way"
Verse 1
In the darkest night, when hope seems thin,
A single flame can shine within.
Hold it close, don’t let it stray,
A candle’s glow will light the way.
Chorus
Light the way, light the way,
Chase the shadows far away.
Hearts together, bright and true,
Goodness lives in me and you.
Verse 2
Though the storm may rage outside,
There’s a fire that won’t subside.
In every heart, a spark remains,
That breaks the dark and heals the pain.
Chorus
Light the way, light the way,
Chase the shadows far away.
Hearts together, bright and true,
Goodness lives in me and you.
Bridge
So lift your voice and join the song,
Together here we all belong.
Through darkest night to brightest day,
Our love will never fade away.
As Mrs. Claus sings, the elves slowly raise their heads, smiles beginning to break through their worry. One by one, they join in the chorus, their voices mingling in harmony. Their movements become lighter, more joyful — little dances and claps echo through the workshop.
The creeping shadows begin to recoil, dissolving like mist under the warmth of the candlelight and the song.
The camera sweeps through the workshop, capturing the reborn joy on the elves’ faces as light pushes the darkness back to the edges.
The music fades as the camera returns to Mrs. Claus, standing tall with her candle held steady. She looks directly into the camera, her expression fierce yet comforting.
Mrs. Claus (soft but resolute): “As long as I draw breath, I will always be a beacon of hope — a champion of light. Keep the faith, and goodness will endure... even in these tough times.”
Her warm smile lingers as the screen slowly fades to black.
Hana Nakamura: "Welcome, everyone, to the main event here at Northern Belles! Tonight, the Queen of the North Championship is on the line as the fierce and reigning champion Goldie Locks of the Blonde Bombshells defends against the cunning and dangerous Alpha Witch — Wicked Witch, backed by her full Coven! これは大きな試合です — This is a huge match!"
Vera "The Iron Maiden" Steele: "Absolutely, Hana. Both competitors bring very different styles — Goldie with her sharp technical skills and resilience, while Wicked Witch combines ringcraft with dark magic and a cunning team behind her. This match promises a complex battle of strength, strategy, and mind games."
Hana: "And here we go! Wicked Witch wastes no time, hitting Goldie Locks with a sudden DDT right out of the gate! Ouch! She’s setting the tone early."
Vera: "Indeed, Hana. That DDT is a punishing move, and Wicked Witch is demonstrating early control. Goldie’s going to have to dig deep to fight back."
Vera: "Goldie answers back with a beautiful Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, really showcasing her agility and ring awareness."
Hana: "そうだ! (That's right!) But Wicked Witch counters immediately with another DDT! The back-and-forth here is intense — both women refusing to give an inch!"
Hana: "Goldie tries another Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors — and Wicked Witch snaps back with a swinging neckbreaker. Each move lands with precision, like a deadly dance."
Vera: "You can really see the contrast — Goldie’s athleticism versus Wicked Witch’s methodical, calculated strikes."
Vera: "Look at this! Goldie executes a One-Handed Bulldog, driving Wicked Witch down hard. But Wicked Witch answers with another neckbreaker, refusing to stay down."
Hana: "The champion is showing incredible resilience, but Wicked Witch looks like she’s stalking her prey."
Hana: "Oof! Wicked Witch hits Goldie with a gutwrench powerbomb — that’s a big statement!"
Vera: "Goldie’s struggling to fend off these powerful strikes, but her defense is holding so far."
Hana: "Another swinging neckbreaker — Wicked Witch keeps the pressure on."
Vera: "Goldie fights back with a handspring back elbow smash! That’s textbook technical wrestling right there."
Hana: "でも、Wicked Witch すぐに DDT で返しますね！(But Wicked Witch quickly returns with a DDT!) This match is lightning fast!"
Hana: "Wicked Witch locks in the Witch's Wrath — the Muta Lock! This submission could end things here!"
Vera: "Goldie’s grimacing in pain, but her determination is incredible. She refuses to submit."
Hana: "The tension is unbearable!"
Vera: "Morrigan steps in with a hypnotize distraction, allowing Wicked Witch to regroup."
Hana: "これが NPCW の魔法の部分です！(This is the magical part of NPCW!) Interference is not allowed but no disqualification — as the referee missed it."
Hana: "Goldie executes a move and Wicked Witch can’t defend. The champion is rallying!"
Vera: "Goldie’s technique is precise, but Wicked Witch is still dangerous."
Vera: "Goldie hits another Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors followed by a One-Handed Bulldog. She’s displaying incredible stamina and ring IQ."
Hana: "Wicked Willow again trying to throw Wicked Witch some protection with strategizing with Wicked Witch — teamwork is crucial here."
Hana: "Wicked Witch counters with her signature Swinging Neckbreaker and Goldie is undeterred! She locks in the Twin City Twister Surfboard — what a submission hold! "Wicked Witch won’t tap but she is starting to falter. La Bruja Muerte again throws green mist into Goldie’s eyes!"
Vera: "Interference again! Fast Count Freda’s catches it this time — disqualification due to Coven’s interference! Goldie Locks retains her Queen of the North Championship! A controversial ending, but a testament to Goldie’s grit. Wicked Witch and her Coven showed how ruthless they can be, but tonight, the champion stands tall."
