The broadcast kicks off with a cold open — a dark hallway bathed in red and black light. A haunting voiceover echoes:


“In five nights... the doors open... and the brave step into madness.”


Rapid flashes of the House of Horrors card appear — Jax vs. Yeti, Ashley Summers, Zack Brown, and the ominous Count Vlad, standing beneath a flickering chandelier, whispering:


“All who enter... are already lost.”


Then—

πŸ”₯ PYRO EXPLOSION! πŸ”₯

The camera cuts to the roaring crowd at the Scrooge Resorts Columbia Coliseum™. The new House of Horrors logo burns across the screen in ghostly white flame as Tony Calibur’s voice booms:


“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to HCW Voltage!”


The crowd erupts while Sam Duffy and Rick Granger stand ringside, the glow of the Titantron reflecting across their faces.




Sam Duffy: 

“Hello wrestling fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter! We are live in Columbia, South Carolina — and we are just five days away from the most sinister night of the year — HCW House of Horrors!”


Rick Granger: 

“Sinister doesn’t even begin to cover it, Sam. Count Vlad’s Dominion has run wild, champions are being hunted, and tonight — right here — the final dominoes fall before the gates of that nightmare swing open!”


Sam Duffy: 

“Two massive battle royals tonight — one for the men and one for the women — both with a mystery contract on the line! Whoever wins walks into House of Horrors with the power to challenge any champion!”


Rick Granger: 

“And you know what that means — chaos! You’ve got everyone from O.P. Cunningham to the Rich Athlete to Terror Fang looking for that golden ticket! Nobody’s safe, nobody’s guaranteed anything!”


Sam Duffy: 

“And if that’s not enough — in our main event, the Heritage Women’s Championship is on the line! Talia Nocturne, the cold-hearted queen of the Dark Dominion, defends her title against Dixie Caverns!”


Rick Granger: 

“Dixie’s tough as a two-dollar steak, but with Count Vlad lurking at ringside, she might as well be walking into House of Horrors a few nights early.”


The camera pans across the roaring audience, many holding eerie Halloween-themed signs:

“Vlad 4 Ever,” “Bite Me, Beastfang!,” and “Talia = Queen of the Night.”


Sam Duffy: 

“The stage is set, the stakes are high, and the countdown is on. Folks, the path to House of Horrors starts right now!”


Rick Granger: 

“And I can already smell the fear in the air — this is Voltage, and business just picked up!”




Cue the Voltage theme (“Shock Current” by Static Fever) as the camera pans to the entrance ramp, lights flashing red and blue while the crowd chants “H-C-W! H-C-W!” before cutting backstage to Candace Hart waiting for her interview with Talia Nocturne and Count Vlad.




BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW – Candace Hart with Talia Nocturne & Count Vlad


The camera cuts backstage to the HCW interview zone. Black candles flicker along the edges of the Voltage logo as a faint crimson mist drifts behind Candace Hart, who holds her microphone steady despite the unsettling atmosphere.

Candace Hart:
“Ladies and gentlemen, joining me now are the Heritage Women’s Champion, Talia Nocturne, and the architect of the Dark Dominion himself, Count Vlad. Count Vlad — tonight your champion defends her title just five nights before House of Horrors. Some might call that a risky decision.”


Count Vlad:
(smiling coldly)
“Risk, my dear Candace, is for those who live in fear. Talia does not fear. She feeds on fear. Every scream, every heartbeat in that arena tonight… is a hymn to her reign. You call it a title defense — I call it a ritual of dominance.”


Candace Hart:
“Talia, your opponent tonight, Dixie Caverns, has been gaining momentum. A lot of fans believe she could be the one to end this reign.”


Talia Nocturne:
(soft, deliberate voice)
“Dixie Caverns is a mirage — a reflection of hope that disappears when the night comes. The Heritage Championship does not change hands through chance… it bends to willpower. And mine has no limit.”


Count Vlad:
(interjecting smoothly)
“You see, Candace, it is not Talia’s destiny that is in question tonight — it is the future of every woman who dares to stand in her path. The Heritage Division belongs to the Dark Dominion now. The rest may as well start writing their epitaphs.”


Candace Hart:
“Strong words, Count Vlad. But with House of Horrors right around the corner, do you fear any… surprises?”


Vlad’s smile fades to a calculating smirk.


Count Vlad:
“In House of Horrors, Candace, the only surprise… is who survives long enough to scream.”


Vlad tilts his head slightly toward Talia, who stares silently into the camera, her expression a mix of serenity and menace.


Talia Nocturne:
“Dixie Caverns… tonight, you will learn that nightmares aren’t meant to be conquered. They are meant to consume.”


Vlad and Talia step away, the camera lingering on the trail of crimson light that seems to follow them as they exit frame.


Candace Hart:
(quietly, after a pause)
“Back to you at ringside.”


The feed transitions to the arena, where the ring crew is making final preparations for the Women’s Contract Battle Royal, and the announcers prepare to explain the titleholder exemptions and match stakes.


πŸ’₯ MATCH #1 – Ladies Contract Battle Royal

Prize: A mystery championship contract to be revealed at House of Horrors!
Stipulation: All current champions are exempt from entry.


Tony Calibur:
“Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the Ladies Contract Battle Royal! The winner will receive a mystery championship contract to be unveiled at House of Horrors!”


A hush falls over the arena as Sam Duffy and Rick Granger deliver the stakes from ringside.


Sam Duffy:
“And folks, what a way to kick off Voltage! The Ladies Battle Royal — one winner, one contract, and one chance to shock the world at House of Horrors!”


Rick Granger:
“And let’s be clear, Sam — no champions in this one! That means no Talia Nocturne, no Selena Blackfang, no tag champs — the field’s wide open! But you’ve got some serious talent in there, including Dixie Caverns, who’s pulling double duty tonight!”


Sam Duffy:
“Dixie’s one of the toughest in HCW, but with all eyes on her title shot later tonight, you have to wonder — will she even want to win this? Or is this about making a statement before she steps into the ring with Talia?”


Rick Granger:
“If you ask me, Sam, Dixie’s smart enough to use this to scout her competition. She’s got Mina Harker and Scarlett Howl out there — two women who could easily end up challenging for gold if they win this thing.”


Sam Duffy:
“Remember folks, over-the-top-rope eliminations — both feet must hit the floor! Last woman standing walks into House of Horrors with destiny in her hands!”


Rick Granger:
“And probably a target on her back! Because whoever wins tonight is guaranteed to shake up the women’s division — and the Dark Dominion will be watching every second of it.”


The crowd comes alive as the women explode into motion — alliances forming, rivalries reigniting, and chaos erupting under the Voltage lights.

Here is the match with commentary:


The bell rang and chaos erupted immediately. Chloe Parker went on a hot streak, catching Ainsley America with the Demonic Driver before tossing her out to start the eliminations. Across the ring, Luciana Albano proved why she’s one of the most cunning wrestlers in HCW, dumping Betsy Cummings with a brutal Electric Chair Facebuster.


Phoenix Blaze drew cheers as she spun Lavender Gooms into a dazzling Headscissors Takedown that sent her tumbling out of the match. The All-American Sweethearts’ luck didn’t last either—Leepurty Belle tried to rally her partner’s momentum but was thrown out by Kimberly Kiccsass after an impressive top-rope arm drag.


The eliminations came rapid-fire, but the complexion of the match changed when the Howl sisters entered. Scarlett and Ruby immediately asserted dominance, taking turns flattening opponents. Scarlett headbutted Ashley “Diamond” Summers over the ropes, while Ruby eliminated Dixie Caverns after a textbook Michinoku Driver II. The Columbia crowd erupted, half in awe, half in disbelief at the pace of destruction.


Sam Duffy:
“The Howl sisters are turning Voltage into the Den of Wolves tonight!”


Rick Granger:
“And look who’s still lurking, Sam—Grizelda! The witch from NPCW’s coven is standing in that corner like she’s waiting for the moon to rise!”


The ring filled again as more entrants arrived: Trinity Bowman, Veronica “The Heat” Flame, and Luna Shadow drawing massive reactions. Grizelda tossed Starla Nova out with shocking strength before Penny Hall fell to a dropkick from Bowman. Then Veronica Flame slithered her way into the spotlight, blindsiding The British Crippler with a Running Mat Slam that sent her packing.


In a highlight moment, Luna Shadow locked Chloe Parker in the Abyssal Lock, wrenching her back before heaving her over the ropes. The audience chanted Luna’s name, but their cheers quickly shifted when the surprise entrants arrived: Maid Marion, Molly Mason, and Sarona Reiher, giving the field fresh energy.

Feral fell victim to Maid Marion’s Lou Thesz Press, followed soon by Sarona Reiher, eliminated via Molly Mason’s spinning kick. The eliminations stacked quickly—Grizelda took out Felicia Cummings with a Boston Crab, only to be blindsided by Marion moments later. Leslie Grimes had a strong showing, tossing both Kiccsass and Twinkle before being caught by Marion’s Bulldog.


Then came one of the night’s defining moments—Crimson Vane entered to a sudden blackout. The lights flickered white as she stepped through the haze, eyes locked on Phoenix Blaze, who bravely attacked first. The strike exchange ended violently as Vane delivered the Banshee Claw, sending Blaze out of the ring and silencing the crowd.


Rick Granger:
“Sam… I’ve seen a lot of strange things here, but that woman—Crimson Vane—she doesn’t blink, she doesn’t talk, she just hunts!”


The final stretch saw Ruby Howl fall to Maid Marion, followed by Marion cleaning house with quick eliminations on Luna Shadow, Leslie Grimes, and Trinity Bowman. But just as the NPCW heroine raised her arm in triumph, Scarlett Howl returned to the fray, nailing her with a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex that sent Marion tumbling over the ropes.


That left two: Scarlett Howl and Crimson Vane.  Sisters.


They circled in eerie silence as the crowd rose to its feet. Vane struck first, stiff and precise, while Scarlett fought through every blow with heart and ferocity. A final exchange ended when Scarlett ducked a lariat, launched herself onto the apron, and hit a breathtaking Somersault Senton that carried both women over the top rope. Vane crashed to the floor first.


Tony Calibur:
“Your winner… and recipient of the Ladies Championship Contract… Scarlett Howl!


The crowd erupted. Scarlett knelt in the center of the ring, clutching the briefcase as sparks rained down around her. The camera lingered as the arena lights flickered—white flames flashed briefly on the TitanTron, accompanied by faint whispering.


Sam Duffy:
“What a statement heading into House of Horrors! Scarlett Howl survives thirty of the best and earns her shot at destiny!”


Rick Granger:
“But Sam… did you see those lights? Crimson Vane might’ve lost, but something tells me she didn’t leave.”


Scarlett made her way to the ramp and was joined by Crimson Vane who held her arm high.  Ruby Howl comes out to join them and the sisters stand tall.  Scarlett opens the briefcase to reveal a contract for…The World Ladies Title!


Fade to commercial.

MATCH #2:  MEN’S CONTRACT BATTLE ROYAL SETUP


The screen fades back from the swirling dollar bills of Scrooge’s grin to the live arena, where the crowd is still buzzing from the earlier battle royal. The Voltage theme thunders briefly as the lights shift back to normal.


Sam Duffy:
“Welcome back to HCW Voltage, folks — and if your wallet survived that Scrooge Resorts pitch, congratulations! You might be the only one left with any money!”


Rick Granger:
“Hey, Sam, I’ll give Scrooge this — at least he’s honest about stealing our paychecks! But forget his Super Fan Pass — right now, twenty men are about to punch their ticket to House of Horrors!”


Sam Duffy:
“That’s right. Coming up next, the Men’s Contract Battle Royal! Just like earlier tonight, the winner earns a mystery championship contract to be unveiled at the pay-per-view. One shot, one title, and a chance to change their career forever!”


The camera pans over the crowd as the Men’s Contract Battle Royal graphic appears on the big screen. Fans are chanting “H-C-W!” while signs wave in the background — “O.P. FOR GOLD,” “BURLEY STRONG,” and “WHERE’S VLAD?”


Rick Granger:
“Now remember, same rules apply as earlier — no champions allowed. So that means no Beastfang, no Mr. X, no Nightstalkers, and no members of the Dark Dominion. This is a clean slate, baby!”


Sam Duffy:
“And that makes it wide open. You’ve got veterans like O.P. Cunningham, powerhouses like Biceps Bannerman, and technical assassins like Otto Ruthless all gunning for that golden contract. It’s anyone’s night!”


The camera cuts ringside as Tony Calibur steps through the ropes, microphone in hand, the crowd swelling behind him.


Tony Calibur:
“Ladies and gentlemen… the following contest is the Men’s Contract Battle Royal! The winner will receive a mystery championship contract to be revealed this Friday at House of Horrors!”


Sam Duffy:
“Here we go, Rick — the final opportunity before the pay-per-view. Twenty men, one winner, and a guaranteed title shot waiting in the shadows!”


Rick Granger:
“Ha! And something tells me whoever survives this one won’t sleep easy until Friday. This is Voltage — this is HCW — and this is what opportunity looks like when it hits you in the face!”


The crowd roars as the first entrance theme hits, the arena lights flickering blue and gold.


Fade to the ramp as the first competitor makes his way out.

Here is the match with commentary.


The camera pans across the jam-packed Columbia crowd as Tony Calibur stands mid-ring with the microphone raised high.


Tony Calibur:
“Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the Men’s Contract Battle Royal! The winner will receive a mystery championship contract to be revealed this Friday night at House of Horrors!”


Cheers thunder as the Voltage logo pulses above the ramp. Twenty men already crowd the ring — a blend of veterans, monsters, and wild cards.


Sam Duffy:
“This is it, folks! One last chance to change your destiny before House of Horrors!”


Rick Granger:
“And if you’re not ready for this one, Sam, you’d better fake it like whoever that is under that Mr. X mask!”




πŸ₯Έ The Imposter Mr. X

The camera zooms in on a heavy-set “Mr. X” with an ill-fitting mask and orange hair poking out the back. The crowd roars with laughter.


Sam Duffy:
“Wait a minute — the real Mr. X is competing in NPCW tonight!”


Rick Granger:
“Yeah, and the real one never looked like he swallowed a bowling ball!”


Within moments, the ruse collapses as Tumu ‘The Island Beast’ Vaega chops him across the chest, only for the fake Mr. X to stumble backward into Raku’s Samoan Death Stomp and tumble out of the ring.


Sam Duffy:
“Well, that clears that up.”


Rick Granger:
“And probably the catering table, too.”


The imposter slinks up the ramp to boos as the action rages on.




⚔️ Early Eliminations & Chaos


The battle quickly devolves into a sea of brawls:

  • ‘Lightning’ Ethan Hayes gets blasted over the top by ‘Dirty’ Dick Albano.

  • Ghee Buttersnaps eats a spinning kick from ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes.

  • Jet Moreno goes soaring after a clothesline from Joe ‘Jack Hammer’ Sanders.

  • Duke Knight makes his long-awaited return but is cut short by Col. Samuel Flagg.

And then, to a mix of laughter and groans, the unmistakable sound of circus-style music hits.


🀑 Doofus Covfefe Meltdown


Sam Duffy:
“Oh no. Rick… don’t tell me he’s back.”


Rick Granger:
“He’s back, Sam — and this time without the mask! Doofus Covfefe has entered the Battle Royal as himself!”


Doofus sprints in, points dramatically at the heavens, and tries to rally the crowd. Within moments, Zack ‘Commando’ Brown intercepts him mid-speech and drives him out of his boots with the Paratrooper Plunge, sending Doofus toppling over the ropes.


The bell doesn’t even have time to echo before Doofus pops up red-faced and furious. He snatches a ringside mic and begins his tirade.


Doofus Covfefe (yelling):
“This match is RIGGED! Rigged, I tell you! The ropes were too high! The ref’s crooked! The crowd’s FAKE! I won the popular fall! I want a RECALL!”


Security rushes to restrain him as popcorn flies from the stands.


Rick Granger:
“Call the Supreme Ring Court, Sam — he’s filing an appeal!”


Sam Duffy:
“Security escorting Doofus Covfefe out — and frankly, the match is better for it!”


Doofus continues shouting “STOP THE COUNT!” as he’s dragged up the ramp, tripping over his own shoelace to the delight of the crowd.




πŸ’ͺ Mid-Match Highlights

With the distraction gone, the ring resets into pure chaos.

  • Biceps Bannerman flexes his way through both Vinnie and Dick Albano, dumping them in rapid succession.

  • Col. Flagg surprises the arena by tossing out Lou Albano III while shouting something about “anti-patriotic footwear.”

  • Otto Ruthless works efficiently until Bannerman launches him out moments later.

  • Ashen Vicar dominates with cold precision, purging three men before falling to Blake ‘Oak Tree’ Hill’s leg drop.

The crowd rallies behind the faces as eliminations pile up — Jax Brenner, Thaddeus Zestwell, The Wicked Prophet, and even Yeti meet their fates at the hands of the surging field.


πŸ”₯ Final Stretch


When the dust settles, five men remain: Tony Albano, Evan Stockwell, Nico ‘The Inferno’ Burnett, Outback Oscar, and Ovaltine Jackson.


Sam Duffy:
“We’re down to the final five! One of these men will walk into House of Horrors with a contract that could change everything!”


Rick Granger:
“And I’ll tell you who’s not getting it — Doofus!”


Sam Duffy:
“Let it go, Rick.”


The eliminations come fast — Oscar goes over courtesy of Burnett’s Hip Roll, then Burnett meets The Bull Press from Stockwell. Yeti charges back into the fray but eats a dropkick from Tony Albano, followed seconds later by Albano himself being hurled over the ropes by Evan Stockwell.


🏁 Final Minute and Victory


Evan Stockwell stands alone in the ring, breathing heavily, sweat glistening under the lights. The referee hands him the sealed House of Horrors Contract as pyro bursts along the ramp.


Tony Calibur:
“Your winner of the Men’s Contract Battle Royal… Evan Stockwell!


The crowd roars with a chorus of booing as the camera zooms in on Stockwell pointing to the House of Horrors logo above the screen.


Sam Duffy:
“Evan Stockwell survives forty men and punches his ticket to House of Horrors! That contract could be his key to any championship in HCW!”


Rick Granger:
“And thank goodness for it — he earned it the hard way, Sam! No shortcuts, no recalls, and no fake Mr. X’s this time!”


Stockwell climbs the ropes, briefcase held high, as confetti rains down and the crowd chants “YOU SUCK!”


Stockwell opens the case and it reveals: TV TITLE!


Fade to black on Stockwell’s celebration, the House of Horrors logo glowing behind him and we cut backstage.



The camera fades into Donnie B’s office, where the familiar smell of money and frustration lingers. Framed photos of HCW legends hang behind his desk. The door opens, and The Banker steps in, tablet in hand, his tone overly serious.


The Banker:
“Boss… I’ve got something you need to see.”


Donnie B:
(sighing, rubbing his temples)
“This better not be another Scrooge invoice.”


The Banker:
“Worse. It’s… this.”


He taps the screen and turns it toward Donnie. The “SCROOGEMERCIAL: The Great & Wonderful Negronomicon” begins to play — explosions, gold pyros, and the blinding arrogance of both Scrooge and Negronomicon flood the room. Donnie’s eyes widen with every passing second.



SCROOGEMERCIAL: The Great & Wonderful Negronomicon

For HCW Night of Convergence – Columbia, SC


[OPENING SHOT]
Golden spotlight on Ebenezer Scrooge, standing in front of a lavish merchandise booth decked with dollar signs, neon, and shelves of Negronomicon masks. A giant banner reads:
πŸ’€πŸ”₯ *“The Great & Wonderful Negronomicon – Live in Columbia!” πŸ”₯πŸ’€

Scrooge (booming voice, cane raised):
“Ladies and gentlemen, history is expensive— and tonight, it can be YOURS! Because for a mere $100,000— paid entirely out of my pocket, of course— I have secured the exclusive return of a legend, a trailblazer, a Hall of Fame immortal… THE GREAT AND WONDERFUL NEGRONOMICON!”

[Cue pyro as Negronomicon slowly steps through smoke in full mask, championship belt over his shoulder, arms crossed like royalty.]

Negronomicon (serious, smug):
“Finally, the ignorant masses get what they’ve begged for all these years… ME. You’re not welcome— but you are lucky.”


The Pitch

Scrooge (gesturing to booth, over-the-top hype):
“Fans, for the first time EVER at Columbia’s Convergence, you’ll get to meet the man who survived the Bermuda Triangle, conquered Survivor Island, and redefined greatness— face-to-mask with Negronomicon himself! Autographs! Photographs! And if your wallet is big enough, maybe— just maybe— he’ll acknowledge your existence!”

[Cut to Negronomicon sitting at a velvet throne behind the booth, sunglasses over his mask, sipping sparkling water from a crystal goblet.]

Negronomicon (cutting in, condescending):
“I demand chilled Fiji water at exactly forty-two degrees. My pen must be dipped in gold ink. And NO— I will not sign your baby. Unless your baby pays me first.”

Scrooge (laughing nervously, still hyping):
“HA! What a sense of humor! And for just $250, you too can purchase an autographed photo of this living legend! For $500, you can get your very own replica Negronomicon mask— perfect for pretending you’re half the man he is! And for $999, the Premium Package: a handshake, a photo, and the privilege of standing next to greatness for exactly three seconds!”

Negronomicon (leaning into camera, dead serious):
“Don’t touch me unless you’ve paid. And don’t breathe too loud. I can hear it.”


Comedic Finale

Scrooge (slamming cane, shouting):
“THIS is the deal of a lifetime, Columbia! Donnie B couldn’t buy him, the fans couldn’t beg him— but I, Ebenezer Scrooge, have delivered THE NEGRONOMICON to Convergence Night Two!”

Negronomicon (raising belt, sneering):
“You’re welcome. N… Out.”

[Screen explodes with graphics of Negronomicon’s face, dollar signs, and the text:]
πŸ’€πŸ”₯ “Meet the Legend – Meet the Ego – Meet Negronomicon at Convergence!” πŸ”₯πŸ’€

After the video ends, Donnie B sits there perplexed as dollar signs explode across the fading image.


Donnie B:
(deadpan, blinking twice)
“Uh… no thanks.”


He starts to wave it off, but The Banker stops him with a knowing smirk.


The Banker:
“You know, you could use this to your advantage. Fans want to see this goofball? Fine. Let them — from a safe distance.”


Donnie B:
(leaning back, skeptical)
“I’m listening.”


The Banker:
“Put him at a folding table somewhere far from the arena. Parking lot. No shade. One bottle of warm water. He can sign whatever he wants — but he doesn’t set foot in the building. Security at every gate. I’ll cover this one myself.”


A slow grin spreads across Donnie’s face.


Donnie B:
“You know what? I think you’re on to something.”
(stands up, buttoning his jacket)

“Go ahead and make it happen. And make sure the water’s lukewarm. Can’t have him getting comfortable.”


The Banker:
(smiling like a man who just balanced the books)

“Already done, sir.”

They shake hands as the camera zooms in on Donnie’s amused smirk.


Donnie B:
“Sometimes, the best punishment… is good business.”


Fade to black.



The screen fades from Donnie B’s smirk to the roaring Columbia crowd. The arena lights shimmer purple and gold as the cameras sweep across the fans holding up “HOUSE OF HORRORS” signs and flashing glow sticks.


Sam Duffy:
“Welcome back to HCW Voltage, folks — and it looks like Donnie B just found a way to turn chaos into commerce!”


Rick Granger:
“Ha! Only in HCW, Sam. The Mornoicon  gets banished to the parking lot, and somehow that’s considered fan engagement! Brilliant!”


Sam Duffy:
“Well, whether it’s good business or poetic justice, The Banker and Donnie B just ensured House of Horrors will have a little… sideshow in the lot.”


Rick Granger:
“Yeah, one folding table, a bottle of warm water, and a star who thinks shade is a conspiracy. I might actually go get an autograph!”


Sam Duffy:
(laughing)
“You do that, Rick. Meanwhile, we’ve got business to handle here inside the ring — and it’s a big one. The Heritage Women’s Championship is on the line when Talia Nocturne, the Dark Dominion’s cold-hearted queen, defends against Dixie Caverns!”


Rick Granger:
“This could set the tone for House of Horrors, Sam. If Talia survives tonight, she walks into the pay-per-view with every advantage Count Vlad can conjure. But Dixie’s no stranger to danger, and she’s been waiting for this shot all month.”


Sam Duffy:
“It’s the calm before the storm, ladies and gentlemen — the Heritage Women’s Championship match is next!”

The lights shift to desert gold as Dixie Caverns struts out to “Wildfire Sunrise” by The Delta Dames, tossing her hat into the crowd. The fans roar—Columbia loves an underdog, and tonight, Dixie’s fighting like one.

Then the arena plunges into crimson light as “Crimson Hymn” by The Thorns of Orpheus rises over the sound system. Talia Nocturne emerges through a haze of red smoke, the Heritage Women’s Championship glimmering on her shoulder. Count Vlad walks beside her, his cane tapping rhythmically like a metronome of malice.


Sam Duffy:
“This could be the toughest defense of Talia’s reign, Rick. Dixie Caverns has waited all month for this shot, and she’s not intimidated by Vlad’s mind games.”


Rick Granger:
“Sam, nobody wants to face Talia Nocturne. You don’t wrestle her—you survive her.”




From the opening bell, the contrast is immediate—Talia methodical and venomous, Dixie fiery and unpredictable. Count Vlad quickly makes his presence felt, distracting the referee to open a window for Talia’s ambush.


Dixie rallies early with a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, dropping the champion to cheers, but the momentum shifts when Talia catches her in mid-flight for an Inverted DDT, followed by a devastating Skyward Suplex Olympic Slam.


Every time Dixie claws back, Talia cuts her off—Pendulum Backbreakers, Slingblades, and Nurse’s Prescription Powerbombs chaining together with eerie precision. But Dixie refuses to stay down, answering with crossbodies, suplexes, and her signature Facebuster, nearly stealing the match in the closing stretch.


The crowd is on its feet when Dixie hits The Candy Dish, stunning the champion. Count Vlad slams his cane on the apron, shouting foreign curses as Talia narrowly kicks out.


Sam Duffy:
“She had her! Dixie Caverns just came within a heartbeat of shocking the Dark Dominion!”


Rick Granger:
“Close doesn’t count, Sam—especially when Vlad’s out there rewriting the rulebook!”


Dixie charges again, but Vlad slips a black spike into Talia’s hand behind the ref’s back. A flash of metal—The Transylvania Spike connects! Dixie crumples.


Talia drapes across her fallen challenger, eyes glazed in cold triumph.


Honest Abe drops for the count—

One… Two… Three!

The bell rings. The crowd erupts in a mix of shock and fury.


Tony Calibur:

“Here is your winner… and still HCW Heritage Women’s Champion… Talia Nocturne!


Vlad steps into the ring, lifting Talia’s hand as crimson lights swirl around them. She raises the championship high, her face unreadable, as the boos rain down.


Sam Duffy:
“Talia Nocturne steals another one, but you can bet the price for that victory will come due soon!”


Rick Granger:
“She’s the Dark Dominion’s Vixen for a reason, Sam. Love her or hate her, she gets results.”




CLOSING SEGMENT


As Talia and Vlad make their exit through the curtain, the camera cuts back to the broadcast desk where Sam Duffy and Rick Granger stand amid the thunderous crowd.


Sam Duffy:
“Fans, what a night it’s been! Two battle royals, championship action, and the stage is officially set for House of Horrors, this Thursday, October 31st!”


Rick Granger:
“And good luck finding a ticket, folks—it’s SOLD OUT! But don’t worry, you can still catch all the insanity streaming live on the NFSWA Wrestling Network!”


Sam Duffy:
“From everyone here at HCW Voltage, thank you for joining us on the road to House of Horrors! We’ll see you Halloween night for one of the most unpredictable events in HCW history!”


Rick Granger:
“Lock your doors, charge your stream, and get ready to scream!”


The camera pans to the roaring audience as pyro bursts across the stage. The House of Horrors logo engulfs the screen in fiery animation.


Fade out to black.

End of Show.
