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 …]
CROWD AND WELCOMING
The cameras sweep across the buzzing North Pole Arena, packed to the rafters with fans holding up colorful signs and chanting in excitement.
“BLONDES RUN THE WORLD!” sign flashes proudly for the Blonde Bombshells.
A group of fans in wolf masks howl together, waving a banner: “MOONSHADOW HUNTS TONIGHT!”
A crimson-lit section chants “Crim-son Vane! Crim-son Vane!” while waving hand-painted posters of red hoods and wolf fangs.
Families and kids wave “Team Mrs. Claus” scarves in red and white.
A darker cluster of fans raise ominous black signs that read “ALL HAIL LILITH” while chanting her name.
A bold sign near ringside proclaims: “MAID MARION > ALL QUEENS!”
And sprinkled throughout, handmade posters of Snow White with “FAIREST FIGHTER OF THEM ALL” written in glitter.
The chants blend into a loud, pulsing atmosphere as the cameras land on the announce desk where Hana Nakamura and Vera “The Iron Maiden” Steele sit ready.
Hana Nakamura (smiling, animated): “Welcome, NPCW Universe, to another dazzling night of Northern Belles! We are live from the North Pole Arena, and the energy — sugoi! — is electric tonight!”
Vera Steele (measured, professional): “That’s right, Hana. The Queen of the North division has never been hotter. Maid Marion has declared war on Lilith after that shocking attack last week. Moonshadow is still on her quest to reclaim the Queen’s crown. Snow White is standing tall against Rosalyn, the so-called Queen of Thorns. And the tag team scene? It’s exploding with new teams ready to stake their claim.”
Hana (nodding): “Yes! Monsters of Myth — Hydra Veyne and Medussa Nemesis — terrifying! Beauty and the Beast — Bella Aurelia and Ursa Titania — power and grace together. And of course, the Grimm Sisters, Glint and Shade, who are kowai, mysterious, already victorious last week!”
Vera (leaning in, measured): “Let’s start with that — the Grimm Sisters. They made a chilling debut last week defeating Dark Ritual, and now they’re looking to build on that momentum. But tonight, they’ve got the Queens of Punishment — Crimson Viper and Dark Duchess. Veterans, cold, calculating, more than willing to bend the rules. If Glint and Shade can pull off another win, they’re going to make this division take notice.”
Hana (excited): “Yes, yes! Grimm Sisters shocked the world already, but now they must prove they belong. Sugoi, what a test against the Queens!”
Vera (shifting focus): “Another big singles match — Goldie Locks takes on Morrigan of the Coven. Goldie has had her share of setbacks, but she’s still a Bombshell. Morrigan is ruthless, technically sharp, and loves to grind her opponents down. This could be a pivotal match for both women.”
Hana (with a small smirk): “Morrigan, so dangerous, like a witch’s curse. But Goldie — ganbatte! If she finds her spark, tonight could be her redemption.”
Vera (measured tone): “And then, Maid Marion versus Lady Frost of the Queens of Punishment. Marion’s anger toward Lilith is fueling her right now, but Lady Frost is tough as nails, and not easily intimidated. If Marion isn’t careful, she might find herself caught cold.”
Hana (leaning in, sharp): “Marion fights with fire — honō no kokoro. But Frost? Ice, cruel, unyielding. Fire versus ice tonight — who will melt, who will stand?”
Vera (measured): “Another key singles bout is Wicked Witch of the Coven against Pearl. Let’s not forget, Wicked Witch is a former Queen of the North Champion. She knows what it takes to sit on top of this division, and she’s hungry to get back into contention. But Pearl has been surprising people with her grit and toughness. If Pearl pulls off the upset, it could be a career-making night.”
Hana (thoughtfully, with a tilt of her head): “Mmmm, yes. Wicked Witch — once the Queen, always scheming. But Pearl is small, strong-hearted — kibishii kokoro. To defeat Witch? That would shock the world. But beware… the Coven always lurking, abunai!”
Vera (smiling faintly): “And in the tag division, we’ll see Beauty and the Beast make their debut as a team — Bella Aurelia and Ursa Titania — against Thimble Hex and Gilda the Greedy. That one promises to be unpredictable, to say the least.”
Hana (with a laugh): “Yes, monsters, magic, greed — what a mix! Tag team action, always wild.”
Vera (turning serious): “And then our main event — Dorothy and Alice, the Blonde Bombshells, defending their North Star Tag Team Championships against the Queens of Despair, Regina and Malice. The Bombshells are fighting champions, but Regina and Malice are cruel, ruthless, and very hungry. This is going to be a dangerous defense.”
Hana (clapping her hands together once, eyes wide): “Yes, main event! Bombshells shining bright, but Queens of Despair bring darkness. Champion versus challenger, light versus shadow — hissatsu no tatakai! A must-see match!”
Vera (with finality): “It’s all happening right here tonight, and I can’t wait to see who rises and who falls.”
Hana (beaming): “Yes! North Pole Arena, are you ready?! Let’s go now to the ring for our opening segment — Sweet Somethings with Ms. Sweetins!”
SWEET SOMETHINGS
“From teacups to tap-outs, Ms. Sweetins sees all.”
(The camera cuts to a velvet-curtained corner of the arena floor, where a crystal chandelier sparkles above a lavish sitting area. Ms. Sweetins is seated regally in her high-backed armchair, silk evening gown flowing, pearls glittering under the lights. A steaming teacup rests delicately in her hand. The crowd buzzes as she lifts her pinky and takes a dainty sip, then gazes into the camera with a coy smile.)
Ms. Sweetins (in her rich, dramatic tone): “Darlings… it’s time again for Sweet Somethings — where the tea is piping, the secrets are scalding, and my sources… well, they are never wrong.”
(She sets the teacup down on a gold-plated saucer, leaning forward conspiratorially.)
Ms. Sweetins: “Now, rumor number one, loves — the prodigal son himself, Dave Kent, is tiptoeing back into the fold of NPCW. But — and this is the delicious part — will he be bringing along his beloved HCW commentator, JR Holland? The word on the frosty wind is that those two are more than just colleagues. Quite the hot couple indeed… heating up faster than a snowstorm in July.”
(She fans herself with a silk handkerchief as the crowd reacts with oooohs.)
Ms. Sweetins: “Rumor number two… the borders between NPCW and HCW are blurring, darlings. The crossover is undeniable, and my sources whisper of dark influences pulling strings behind the curtain. Are we witnessing a business alliance, or something far more sinister? Whatever the case — the convergence is coming, and the next few months promise to be positively scorching.”
(She stirs her tea lazily, then smiles wickedly.)
Ms. Sweetins: “Rumor number three… poor Goldie Locks. Our former Queen of the North. Since her defeat, she seems to have lost that golden sparkle, hasn’t she? Some whisper that her star is fading, that her heart just isn’t in it anymore. But oh… I ask you, can a true champion ever stay dimmed for long? Or will Goldie rediscover her fire — before the ice claims her for good?”
(Crowd buzzes, a few chant “Goldie! Goldie!” before being drowned out by boos.)
Ms. Sweetins: “Rumor number four… white wolf heads and crimson shirts. Hmmm. What does it all mean? Is it the Wolf Pack playing mind games again? Is a new faction sharpening its fangs in the shadows? Or is this a symbol of something larger… something colder… something we’ve yet to fully grasp? Ohhh, the anticipation chills me to the bone.”
(She takes a slow, dramatic sip of her tea, holding the tension before flashing a sly grin.)
Ms. Sweetins: “And finally, rumor number five. Have your eyes caught those little teasers at the end of Polar Power these past few weeks? My sources tell me — nay, swear to me — that a new faction is about to debut. Not just another stable, not just another alliance… no, no, no. This, my darlings, will be a game-changer. A storm on the horizon. A power that could tilt the entire landscape of NPCW on its axis. And when it arrives… well… even I may be speechless.”
(She gives the camera a knowing wink, lifting her teacup again as the crowd roars with speculation.)
Ms. Sweetins (softly, with a smirk): “Until next time, sweetlings… keep your ears open, your eyes sharp, and your lips sealed. Because I’ll always be here… with the sweetest somethings.”
(She raises her cup in a mock-toast as the lights dim on her set, the crowd buzzing with intrigue.)
Hana Nakamura (excited, reverent): “Minasan, this is going to be a battle of legacies and nightmares! The Grimm Sisters — Glint and Shade — already sent shockwaves last week when they defeated Dark Ritual. Now, they face their greatest test: the Queens of Punishment! Crimson Viper and Dark Duchess, guided by the sinister Mad Hatter, are ruthless, precise… kyōfu no ōjo, queens of fear!”
Vera Steele (measured, analytical): “You said it, Hana. The Grimm Sisters thrive in chaos — unorthodox offense, quick tags, that eerie synchronicity. But the Queens of Punishment are colder, more methodical. Viper’s suplexes, Duchess’ aerial strikes — that’s a dangerous combination. This one could define who the true dark power of Northern Belles really is.”
(The bell rings. “Honest” Abbie signals for the match to begin.)
Explosive Start
Hana: “Ohhh! Glint Grimm with Spirit Cleave! Running kick straight to Viper’s skull! But Viper answers — Release German Suplex! Right on the back of the head, sugoi exchange!”
Vera: “That’s what I mean — Glint comes in fast, but Viper neutralizes with pure technique. That’s punishment delivered.”
Grimm Momentum
Hana: “Shade Grimm in now — Release German Suplex! Viper’s caught off guard, couldn’t defend! Grimm Sisters are finding their rhythm early!”
Vera: “Shade’s execution there was crisp. Very impressive.”
Even Exchange
Hana: “Straight Jacket Choke from Duchess! But Shade turns it into a Single Leg Crab! Back and forth, ohhhh, yokatta!”
Vera: “Both women showing tremendous technical awareness — trading holds like chess masters.”
Queens’ Ruthlessness
Hana (outraged): “Ahhhh! Double-team from the Queens! Sharpshooter into a corner knee drop! Abbie must keep control, this is not fair!”
Vera: “It may not be fair, but it’s effective. That’s classic Queens of Punishment — bending rules, maximizing damage.”
Grimm Resurgence
Hana (clapping, fired up): “Glint Grimm — Echo of Betrayal! Shade with the Spear! Double-team mastery! Viper is crushed! Grimm Sisters are on fire, haiiiiii!”
Vera: “They’re stringing these attacks together beautifully. That’s the chemistry we saw last week paying dividends.”
Pin Drama
Hana (counting with crowd): “One! Two—ahhhh, Viper kicks out! So close! Glint’s Death’s Whisper almost ended it!”
Vera: “That was razor sharp. If Grimm can keep pressing, a finish isn’t far away.”
Queens Retaliate
Hana: “Double-team choke and stretch! Shade Grimm is in agony, hidoi! This could be the end!”
Vera: “It’s classic tag strategy — isolate, suffocate, force the mistake.”
Final Surge
Hana (shouting): “Shade Grimm with a Legsweep DDT! Duchess down — cover! One… NO! Duchess kicks out! Time limit has expired!”
Vera: “What a war. Thirty minutes, and neither team could find the decisive edge. That tells me we’re looking at two of the most dangerous units in the division.”
MATCH 1 RESULT: GRIMM SISTERS VS QUEENS OF PUNISHMENT ENDS IN A TIME LIMIT DRAW AT THE 30:00 MARK.
LILITH
Scene: The backstage interview set, banners of NPCW Northern Belles behind Alexandra Jones. The Queen of the North Championship gleams on Lilith’s shoulder. She stands in her dark, gothic ring gear, smirking with venomous pride.
Alexandra Jones (professional, steady): “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time — the Queen of the North Champion, Lilith. Lilith, last week we witnessed the shocking return of Maid Marion, who made her presence felt in a very physical way after your title defense. Your response?”
Lilith (tilting her head back with a chilling laugh): “My response, Alexandra? Maid Marion needs to learn her place. She’s not a warrior — she’s a lovesick fool still crying over Robin Hood slipping through her fingers. Let’s be honest, darling, it’s not my fault she couldn’t satisfy him. If her ‘great love’ went sniffing around elsewhere, maybe Marion should look in the mirror before she comes for me.”
Lilith leans forward, eyes blazing into the camera.
Lilith (lower, venomous): “And if she ever dares to lay her hands on me again, I’ll make sure she spends the rest of her days back in Sherwood, weeping in the shadows, forgotten. Stay out of my business, Marion — or you’ll be broken like the rest.”
Alexandra Jones (keeping composed): “Strong words, but next week on Polar Power you’ll have to turn your attention to a familiar foe — Moonshadow, who gets her rematch for the Queen of the North Championship. How do you plan to approach that challenge?”
Lilith (snapping upright, scoffing): “Approach it? Alexandra, Moonshadow is nothing but a puppy. She yips, she bites at ankles, she runs with her little pack of wolves — but I am the Queen of the Demons. And when I put her back in her kennel next week, every wolf, every so-called predator in NPCW will know to stay in their place.”
Alexandra Jones (pressing): “Some say the division is growing stronger — Mrs. Claus, Snow White, even Goldie Locks still searching for redemption. Do you feel your reign is in danger with such a deep field of challengers?”
Lilith (eyes narrowing, smiling cruelly): “Mrs. Claus? Please. She’s a relic clinging to her husband’s shadow. Snow White? That doe-eyed doll wouldn’t last a heartbeat in my world of fire and blood. And Goldie Locks…” laughs darkly “Goldie is finished. Broken. The sparkle’s gone from her golden crown, and every time she steps in the ring she’s reminded she couldn’t survive against me. She’s nothing but a husk, a bedtime story that’s already over.”
Lilith hoists the Queen of the North title high, her voice booming with theatrical menace.
Lilith (declaring): “I will hold this championship for eternity. The Demons do not fall. The Demons do not bow. We rule NPCW — forever.”
Lilith storms off, cackling, leaving Alexandra shaking her head at the venom left behind.
Hana Nakamura (excited, bright): “Ooohhh, here we go! Match number two — Goldie Locks of the Blonde Bombshells takes on the Celtic Witch herself, Morrigan! The Coven are lurking at ringside, ne? Wicked Witch, Wicked Willow, La Bruja Muerte — dangerous, dangerous!”
Vera Steele (measured, steady): “Goldie’s been in a slump since losing the Queen of the North Championship. Tonight is about proving she still has that fire. But Morrigan is ruthless, Hana. Those strikes, those submissions — she’s a technician of the dark arts. Goldie will need perfect timing to overcome this.”
1st Minute
Morrigan snaps forward with a lightning-fast spin kick that cracks against Goldie’s jaw.
Hana: “SPIN KICK! Right on the button — it rattled her teeth! Ayaaahh!”
Vera: “Precision. Morrigan wastes no time setting the tone — she’s targeting the head early.”
2nd Minute
Morrigan rushes the ropes and drives her hip full-force into Goldie’s chest, smashing her to the canvas.
Hana: “BAM! Running hip attack! Goldie down hard — she looks stunned already!”
Vera: “That’s ring IQ — Morrigan is using her weight and momentum perfectly. She’s breaking Goldie’s base.”
3rd Minute
Morrigan traps Goldie in the corner and unleashes rapid-fire roundhouse kicks, each thudding into her ribs.
Hana: “KOWAIII!! High-speed roundhouses! Left, right, left! Goldie has nowhere to run!”
Vera: “Goldie’s absorbing everything but offering no defense. This is becoming one-sided very quickly.”
4th Minute
Both women collide in the center — Goldie powers through with a gutwrench suplex, but Morrigan immediately counters, snapping into a vicious ankle-lock German suplex.
Hana: “Suplex by Goldie—no! NO! Morrigan turns it around! German with the ankle lock twist — OHH my goodness!”
Vera: “That’s superior technique. Goldie had a flash of offense, but Morrigan transitioned in mid-air. Brutal execution.”
5th Minute
Morrigan hooks Goldie, driving both knees into her face with a devastating facebreaker. Goldie crumples to the mat.
Hana: “DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER! That’s it! She’s out, she’s out!”
Vera: “Perfectly delivered. The impact snapped her head straight back.”
Referee “Honest” Abbie drops for the count.
1…2…3!
MORRIGAN DEFEATS GOLDIE LOCKS VIA PINFALL AT THE 5:00 MINUTE MARK
Hana Nakamura (brimming with energy): “Match three, minna-san! The outlaw spirit of Maid Marion against the icy cruelty of Lady Frost — with the Mad Hatter dancing at ringside like a crazy oni! This one, it will be wild!”
Vera Steele (steady, assessing): “Marion is scrappy, unpredictable, and she’s proven she can go toe-to-toe with anyone. But Frost is disciplined. Her strikes are sharp, her suplexes crisp. If Marion can’t avoid Frost’s power and the inevitable Hatter antics, she’ll be in deep trouble.”
1st Minute:
Both women charge — Marion hits a Lou Thesz press, but Frost counters with a neckbreaker!
Hana: “BOOM — neckbreaker right out of the gate! Sugoi pace!”
Vera: “That’s the danger. Marion took the fight straight to Frost, but Frost countered instantly. That’s experience.”
2nd–3rd Minutes:
Frost strings together an exploder suplex and a wheelbarrow facebuster, grinding Marion down.
Hana: “Exploder! Facebuster! Marion is rattled — frozen solid, almost!”
Vera: “Frost is chaining offense beautifully. She’s keeping Marion from finding her rhythm.”
4th Minute:
Marion fights back with a diving seated senton, but Hatter distracts and agitates. Frost uses the chaos to regain control.
Hana: “That clownish fool! Hatter shouting, taunting, yabai distraction!”
Vera: “It’s effective. Marion can’t split her focus — but this is the tax of fighting the Queens of Punishment.”
5th–8th Minutes:
The battle swings — Frost nails more heavy strikes and even a nearfall off a somersault senton, but Marion refuses to stay down.
Hana: “Ooooh, ichi… ni… Marion kicks out! Genki still burning inside her!”
Vera: “She’s resilient. Marion is weathering punishment and waiting for her moment.”
9th–12th Minutes:
Marion fires back — Kiss Goodnight Roundhouse Kick! Flapjack! She’s rolling, nearly flooring Frost.
Hana: “Roundhouse! Flapjack! Marion with momentum, Hayai! The crowd is roaring!”
Vera: “That’s smart — Marion is chaining speed-based offense. Frost is struggling to keep up.”
13th–14th Minutes:
They brawl outside — Marion plants Frost with a DDT on the floor, but Frost beats the count. Back inside, Hatter again interferes, shoving the ref and giving Frost an opening.
Hana (frustrated): “The Mad Hatter, again — urusai, urusai! Referee Abbie, open your eyes!”
Vera: “And yet, he’s brilliant. He knows how to bend the rules without breaking them. Frost is benefitting, no doubt.”
15th Minute:
Marion blasts Frost with Robin’s Arrow (superkick)! The crowd explodes as Frost crumbles!
Hana: “ROBIN’S ARROW! Picture perfect! She’s going to win this!”
Vera: “That’s Marion at her best — sudden, sharp, devastating.”
16th Minute (Finish):
Just as Marion goes for the finish, Lilith storms down the ramp. The distraction lets Frost slip on her loaded glove — Knife Edge Chop!
Hana (shocked): “LILITH?! She’s here! Chop with the loaded glove — Marion is down! Yabai! Yabai!”
Vera: “Marion had this won, Hana. But Lilith’s mind games — and Frost’s ruthless tactics — stole it.”
Frost hooks the leg — 1…2…3!
LADY FROST DEFEATS MAID MARION VIA PINFALL (LOADED GLOVE KNIFE EDGE CHOP) AT THE 16:00 MINUTE MARK
Lilith (smirking, leaning over the ropes at the fallen Marion): “Pathetic little peasant… is that the best the Merry Band has to offer? Robin left you for me because I am eternal… and you are nothing but a footnote in his story.”
Lilith (raising the Queen of the North title high): “You dream of stealing from me? The crown, my throne, my man? Hah! Maid Marion… you can’t even steal a win. Stay in the gutter where you belong.”
Lilith (lowering her voice, sinister): “Next time, I won’t need Lady Frost or the Coven. I’ll put you down myself… and I’ll make sure you never rise again.”
She tosses the mic onto Marion’s chest with disdain, then poses on the ropes as the crowd showers her with boos.
Hana Nakamura (play-by-play): “Minna-san, what a matchup we have here! Sugoi! The cunning of Wicked Witch versus the unpredictable trickery of Pearl! This is going to be fantastically intense!”
Vera “The Iron Maiden” Steele (color commentary): “Yes, Hana. The technical contrast here is fascinating. Wicked Witch uses calculated strikes and submission holds, controlling space in the ring, while Pearl counters with agility, quick reversals, and a very deceptive offensive arsenal. It’s a chess match in motion.”
[In-Ring Action Highlights]
Wicked Witch dominates early with her DDT and Diving Crossbody, showing control, while Pearl uses clever counters like Scissored Armbars and Tooth Busters to stay in the fight.
Pearl hits multiple running double axe handles and Diving Elbow Drops, bringing high energy and creativity.
Wicked Witch attempts several submissions: Witch’s Wrath (Muta Lock), Ankle Lock, and her signature Black Magic Backbreaker. Pearl refuses to submit multiple times, showing resilience.
The Coven interferes subtly, adding tension, but Pearl’s agility and strategic counters keep her in contention.
Both women trade high-impact moves: Swinging Neckbreakers, DDTs, Tooth Busters, and Sliding Seated Clotheslines.
Despite near-pins for both competitors (Pearl’s pin attempts at 10th and 14th minutes, Wicked Witch’s attempts throughout), neither can secure the victory.
Hana Nakamura (excitedly): “Unbelievable, minna-san! Pearl dodged the Muta Lock and reversed the Witch’s spells — she is so fast, so clever! Sugoi!”
Vera Steele (analyzing): “And yet, Wicked Witch demonstrates perfect ring psychology, controlling the pace and using submission holds to wear Pearl down. Both competitors are so evenly matched; it’s a battle of endurance and strategy as much as skill.”
WICKED WITCH VS. PEARL – MATCH ENDS IN A DRAW AT THE 30-MINUTE MARK
WICKED WITCH
[The camera pans across the exhausted ring as Wicked Witch stands, glaring at the audience, Pearl on the mat behind her. The Coven flanks her—Morrigan, Wicked Willow, and La Bruja Muerte—silent and menacing. Hana Nakamura’s voice cracks with excitement as she shouts in the background.]
Hana Nakamura: “Sugoi! Sugoi, minna-san! Look at her—Wicked Witch is NOT done yet!”
Vera Steele: “And I’d say Pearl just bought herself a very short reprieve. This Coven isn’t finished… far from it.”
[Wicked Witch raises her hands, slowly circling the ring, her voice cutting through the tension like ice.]
Wicked Witch:
“You may have survived tonight… but do not be fooled! The Witch’s Coven will rise again! Oh yes, we will reclaim our rightful place… at the very top of the Women’s Division!”
[She steps forward, her eyes glowing in the camera’s lights.]
Wicked Witch:
“It does not matter who stands in our way. The Blonde Bombshells? They will crumble. Moonshadow? We will shadow her light. Snow White? We will freeze her fairytale. Even the so-called Queen of the North, Lilith? She will learn… there is a higher power in this ring now!”
[The Coven moves closer, circling Pearl, who struggles to rise. Wicked Witch lifts her arms dramatically.]
Wicked Witch:
“Prepare yourselves, NPCW… the era of witches has only just begun!”
[Suddenly, Wicked Witch gestures sharply toward the corners. From behind the turnbuckles, a thick, emerald-green mist erupts, swirling over the ring. Hana coughs in excitement while Vera shields her eyes.]
Hana Nakamura: “Maaai! The green mist! It’s covering the ring!”
Vera Steele: “This is classic Coven magic—look at them disappear!”
[Through the swirling mist, the Coven slowly vanishes, leaving Pearl alone in the center of the ring coughing and blinking at the camera. The crowd is left in stunned silence, the eerie green glow lingering in the arena.]
[Camera pans up to Wicked Witch’s lingering laughter echoing through the arena as the screen fades to black.]
Hana Nakamura: “Mina-san, tonight’s tag battle is a clash of power and cunning! On one side, the unstoppable duo—Beauty and the Beast: Bella Aurelia and Ursa Titania! And on the other… the crafty and relentless Thimble Hex and Gilda the Greedy! Itadakimasu… let’s go!”
Vera Steele: “Both teams contrast beautifully—raw power versus tactical cunning. It will be fascinating to see who controls the early exchanges and whether the physical advantage of Bella and Ursa can overcome Hex and Greedy’s trickery.”
1st Minute
Hana: “Sugoi! Bella Aurelia with a Hip Toss—pose for the crowd! Ursa Titania follows up with a Big Boot! Both are going for double-team dominance!”
Vera: “Excellent coordination. This is textbook tag team offense, but watch Gilda! She counters with a Choke Bomb—turning the tide immediately!”
2nd Minute
Hana: “Bella executes a Snap Suplex! Incredible lift!”
Vera: “Technically superb, but Gilda fires back with a Power Bomb! Both teams are trading blows and neither is backing down.”
Hana: “Gilda tags out to Thimble Hex! Now the crafty one enters the ring—this is where opportunistic tactics shine!”
3rd Minute
Hana: “Bella and Ursa double-team Thimble Hex! Forearm Smash! Headbutt Barrage! Hex tries to fight back but is overwhelmed!”
Vera: “Their chemistry as a unit is impressive. Each member knows the other’s position perfectly—truly synergistic offense.”
4th Minute
Hana: “Ursa Titania lands a Knee Lift! Stunning! Bella holds Hex in position!”
Vera: “Notice how Bella is playing defensive this round—letting Ursa carry the offensive. Smart tag strategy.”
5th Minute
Hana: “Ursa delivers a Spine Buster! Incredible! But Thimble Hex hits her FINAL STITCH—Michinoku Driver! What impact!”
Vera: “A spectacular counter by Hex! Bella and Ursa’s double-teaming ends, and the momentum begins shifting.”
6th Minute
Hana: “Double-team from Thimble Hex and Gilda now! Hex hits a Diving Crossbody to the floor—Bella’s outside! Count begins… 1…2…3…”
Vera: “This is disastrous for Beauty and the Beast. Being counted out puts them behind in North Star Tag Title contention. Hex and Gilda are capitalizing perfectly.”
7th Minute
Hana: “Ursa recovers with a running elbow! Bella returns to the ring with a flying body splash! Momentum shifting slightly!”
Vera: “Technically, they’re regaining composure, but the psychological advantage is still with Hex and Greedy. They’ve proven they can manipulate the pace of the match.”
8th Minute
Hana: “Thimble Hex attempts a Snap Suplex on Ursa! But Ursa counters with a Spine Buster!”
Vera: “That’s excellent ring awareness. Ursa sees the opening and turns it into a high-impact move, showing her brute strength is still a major factor.”
9th Minute
Hana: “Bella Aurelia delivers a forearm smash to Hex! But Gilda sneaks in a low kick!”
Vera: “Classic opportunistic tactic by Gilda. The team synergy here is a mix of brute force and precise timing—remarkable, if devious.”
10th Minute
Hana: “Ursa Titania lifts Hex—double-team attempt! But Hex slips free, rolls behind Bella—Haa! Hit the SUPERKICK!”
Vera: “Beautiful counter by Hex. The agility of the smaller competitor contrasts with the power of the larger duo—smart wrestling strategy.”
11th Minute
Hana: “Bella Aurelia goes for a Snap Suplex on Gilda! Stunning strength!”
Vera: “Technically perfect execution, but fatigue is setting in. Hex and Greedy are timing their recovery perfectly to exploit these moments.”
12th Minute
Hana: “Ursa with a Headbutt Barrage—this is a war of attrition!”
Vera: “This is pure tag team psychology—control the pace, exploit mistakes, and stay in rhythm with your partner. Bella and Ursa are maintaining it well, but the cunning team has momentum saved for the decisive strike.”
13th Minute
Hana: “Thimble Hex climbs to the top rope—leaps off! But Ursa catches her mid-air! Incredible counter!”
Vera: “Technically, that shows mastery over high-risk maneuvers. Ursa’s timing is flawless, but can they sustain it against Hex and Greedy’s calculated moves?”
14th Minute
Hana: “Bella Aurelia hits a Hip Toss on Gilda! Ursa Titania lands a Big Boot—both competitors down!”
Vera: “A rare moment of simultaneous success for Beauty and the Beast. But with the clock ticking, one mistake could be costly.”
15th Minute
Hana: “Bella prepares the Robin’s Arrow—Superkick! Lands perfectly!”
Vera: “Strong technical execution, but the miscalculation on pace leaves them vulnerable. Thimble Hex is ready to exploit any lapse.”
16th Minute
Hana: “Ursa Titania executes a knee lift—what impact! But Bella is distracted—Hex circles!”
Vera: “That distraction could be fatal. Hex and Greedy are masters of taking advantage of split-second mistakes.”

CLOSING SEGMENT
The screen fades from black into a dimly lit den, shadows stretching long across stone walls. The only light comes from flickering lanterns and a fire smoldering low in a hearth. On the back wall, a crimson banner hangs — embroidered with the snarling white head of a wolf, fangs bared. Around it are mounted weapons: crossbows, silver daggers, chains, hunting spears, vials of powdered herbs, and bullets etched with runes. The arsenal of hunters — and of the cursed.
The camera drifts slowly, like a phantom surveying the room. It stops at a glass case in the corner. Inside rests an old red hood and cape — delicate, faded with age, but unmistakable. A relic that once belonged to a girl who faced the wolf and began a bloodline marked forever.
The camera moves again, creeping forward to a heavy desk of scarred oak. Sitting there, his features obscured by shadows, is a man. The light catches only his short beard, streaked grey-white, and hair of the same weathered color. His posture is upright, commanding, but there’s a weight to him — the weight of years, of lineage, of curse.
On the desk lie three framed photographs, set with care in a row. The first: Crimson Vane, proud, steely-eyed. The second: Scarlett Howl, fierce, her glare burning through the glass. The third: Ruby Howl, younger, but already carrying the family fire. Beside them rests a thick folder, stamped across the front in block lettering: “The Curse of the Red Riding Hood.” The man’s hand hovers over it, fingers tapping slowly, rhythmically, as though the folder itself contains a heartbeat.
For a long moment, there is only silence — the creak of the firewood, the ticking of an old clock. Then, from offscreen, the voice of a young man cuts through:
Young Man (offscreen): “Father… the car is ready.”
The man doesn’t look up. His tapping stops. Slowly, he exhales, and his voice fills the room — deep, distinguished, measured like a sermon, carrying both gravity and promise.
The Patriarch: “…Yes, Jasper. It’s time.”
He pushes the folder shut with a deliberate hand, the thud echoing like a coffin lid. His shadow stretches over the banner as he rises from the desk. The crimson wolf looms behind him, snarling in silence.
The Patriarch (continuing): “…It’s time we head North.”
The camera pulls back, the fire guttering out to black. The only thing left visible is the red hood in the case, glowing faintly under the lantern light — the symbol of the beginning, and the curse that will never die.
