Sam
Duffy:
"Hello wrestling fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW
Wrestling Newsletter. We are live right here on Voltage, and Rick, what a
lineup we have tonight as we roll straight toward a massive month of
December."
Rick
Granger:
"Sam, this card is loaded. We’ve got scores to settle, titles on the line,
and the Dark Dominion lurking over everything as usual. And right out of the
gate—an All Ladies Battle Royal. Every woman in that locker room is chomping at
the bit to grab a future title shot."
Sam
Duffy:
"That’s right, Rick. Whoever survives that chaos will have a golden
opportunity heading into the end of the year. But that’s just the beginning
tonight. Because we've also got the always-popular O.P. Cunningham taking on
Matches Malone. And you know Malone—he’ll do anything, legal or not, to try and
slow down that Mayberry momentum."
Rick
Granger:
"OP better keep his head on a swivel, Sam. Malone's mean streak has only
gotten worse since he lost to Billy Robbins. But speaking of mean streaks—later
tonight the Yeti is in action, and he's demanded an opponent. Jake Montrose
answered that call, and Sam, I don’t know if that’s bravery or lunacy."
Sam
Duffy:
"And don’t forget—Jax is expected here in the building. Wherever Yeti
goes, Jax isn’t far behind. You talk about two men destined to collide again…
we may see sparks before this night is over."
Rick
Granger:
"But the biggest news? The main event. Iron Maidens Tag Team Championship
on the line. Korbi Kong and Mina Harker defend against the All American
Sweethearts—Ainsley America and Leepurty Belle—and I’ll tell you something,
Sam, the Sweethearts have been flapping their patriotic jaws all week
long."
Sam
Duffy:
"They sure have, and they’ve promised to ‘restore honor’ to the
division—whatever that means. But Dark Dominion rarely shows up alone, and with
Mina and Korbi carrying the belts, you have to assume chaos isn’t just possible
tonight—it’s likely."
Rick
Granger:
"Scarlett and Ruby are somewhere in this building, too. If the Sweethearts
think they’re walking into a fair fight… they haven’t been paying
attention."
Sam
Duffy:
"It’s a stacked night, tensions are high, and we’re starting off hot.
Let’s head to the ring for our opening contest—the All Ladies Battle
Royal!"
The first theme hits—women begin stepping onto the stage one
by one, the crowd buzzing as the ring starts to fill.
Rick Granger:
"Well, Sam, it looks like the locker room is emptying fast. We’ve already
got Luna Shadow, Starla Nova, Chloe Parker—this thing is going to be
stacked!"
Sam glances down at his monitor, reading something with
widening eyes.
Sam Duffy:
"Rick—hang on. I… I just got a message from General Manager Max
McGillicutty."
Rick Granger:
"Oh boy. That usually means something’s about to change."
Sam Duffy:
"It has. Rick—Max has just informed me that every woman in HCW—EVERY
single one, champions included—will be competing in this Battle
Royal!"
The arena erupts as more women rush down the ramp.
Rick Granger:
"Wait—champions included?! Sam, that means the Heritage Women’s Champion
Talia Nocturne… and even the Ladies World Champion Selena ‘Widow’s Fang’
Blackfang?"
Sam Duffy:
"That’s exactly what it means. Titleholders. Contenders. Newcomers.
Veterans. Every woman on the active roster is officially entered."
Rick Granger:
"That changes EVERYTHING. Some of these women weren’t prepared for a match
tonight, let alone a high-stakes Battle Royal! And Sam—remember who’s in the
building: Mina Harker, Korbi Kong, Scarlett Howl, Ruby Doom… this ring is about
to be a warzone!"
More theme music hits rapidly as the crowd roars louder with
each entrance.
Sam Duffy:
"Get ready, folks. This may be the most star-packed Battle Royal HCW has
ever hosted. Max McGillicutty has just rewritten the entire evening."
Rick Granger:
"Then ring the bell already! Let’s get this thing going before the ring
collapses under the weight of this roster!"
The last entrants sprint toward the ring as the camera
circles the chaos.
Sam Duffy:
"Here we go—the All Ladies Battle Royal starts right now!"
Match #1: All
Ladies Battle Royal
All-Ladies Battle Royal – Full Match
Commentary
The
bell sounds and nearly the entire women’s division tears into each other at
once.
Sam
Duffy:
"With every woman in HCW involved, this thing is going to be absolute
pandemonium."
Rick
Granger:
"You’re not kidding, Sam—look at the corners! We’ve got six different
fights happening, all at once!"
First
Wave of Eliminations
The
chaos thins out early as Maid Marion catches Ashley “Diamond” Summers
off-guard with a low-angle front dropkick, sending her flying over the
ropes for the first elimination. The
feud between the two grows by leaps and bounds.
Moments
later, Marion herself is snared by Kimberly Kiccsass with a tight Dragon
Sleeper throw and the assist from Ashley who yanks her out of the ring for
the next elimination. Ashley and Marion
brawled all the way to the back.
Sam
Duffy:
"Kiccsass wasting no time making a statement! Ashley and Marion’s feud is one of the
hottest things going right now!"
The
ring tightens. Korbi Kong asserts dominance early, muscling Crimson
Vane over the ropes with an Arm Triangle Lock.
Across
the ring, the crowd pops as Selena ‘Widow’s Fang’ Blackfang
acrobatically eliminates Scarlett Howl with an unexpected apron
somersault plancha.
But
Selena doesn’t survive long—she later gets caught by Leslie Grimes, who
dumps her using the ropes.
Rick
Granger:
"That’s a HUGE elimination! The Ladies World Champion just got
tossed!"
Meanwhile,
Ruby Howl shocks the arena by throwing out Talia Nocturne, the
Heritage Women’s Champion.
Sam
Duffy:
"Both champions are out! That’s massive!"
Korbi
Kong stays hot, tossing out Luciana Albano with another Arm Triangle
Lock.
Middle
of the Match – The Ring Thins Fast
Chloe
Parker
spikes Ainsley America with a DDT over the ropes.
Sarona
Reiher
launches Twinkle with a brutal high vertical suplex elimination.
Phoenix
Blaze
knocks Penny Hall to the floor with a stiff forearm smash to a
kneeling target.
Feral claws Felicia
Cummings into unconsciousness with the Wild Claw, dumping her to the
floor.
Then
the Dominion presence spikes:
·
Mina Harker eliminates Molly Mason with the Heartstopper
dropkick.
·
Mina dumps Luna Shadow with The Thirst Eternal.
·
Mina hurricanranas Sparkle to the floor moments
later.
Sam
Duffy:
"And Mina Harker is heating up—she’s up to three eliminations
already!"
Rick
Granger:
"Correction, Sam—FOUR. She’s hunting tonight."
Second
Wave – The Big Names Fall
Shockwave
through the arena as Kimberly Kiccsass catches Korbi Kong in
another Dragon Sleeper, removing the giant to a massive crowd reaction.
Sam
Duffy:
"Korbi’s out! That’s a gigantic elimination by Kimberly Kiccsass!"
But
Kiccsass doesn’t enjoy it long—Mina returns and hurricanranas her to the floor.
Veronica
Flame
hits a gorgeous bridging German suplex throw on Betsy Cummings,
but Mina eliminates Veronica seconds later with another Heartstopper.
Chloe
Parker
tosses Trinity Bowman, but then the real storm begins:
·
Mina eliminates Lavender Gooms with Fangs
of the Night
·
The British Crippler tosses Dixie
Caverns
·
Mina dumps The British Crippler with Wings
of the Bat
·
Mina eliminates Leslie Grimes with another
Fangs of the Night

Thirst Eternal
·
Mina eliminates Leepurty Belle with The
Thirst Eternal
·
Mina eliminates Phoenix Blaze with The
Thirst Eternal
·
Mina eliminates Sarona Reiher with Bloodline
DDT
Sam
Duffy:
"Rick, Mina Harker is absolutely RUNNING this thing!"
Rick
Granger:
"That's ELEVEN eliminations, Sam. ELEVEN. She’s practically clearing the
ring by herself!"
Final
Three: Mina, Grizelda, Starla Nova
The
only three women left are:
·
Mina Harker
·
Grizelda
·
Starla Nova
Grizelda
lunges first, trying to cut Mina off. But from the top rope—
Starla
Nova
crashes down with an insane diving elbow, knocking Grizelda over the ropes!
Sam
Duffy:
"Starla just eliminated a Dark Dominion powerhouse!"
Which
leaves two:
Mina
Harker
vs
Starla Nova
The
crowd rises to their feet.
Mina
stalks forward, snapping into the early stages of The Thirst Eternal—
But
Starla slips out, hits the ropes—
—AND
SUICIDE DIVES RIGHT THROUGH MINA AND OUT THE OTHER SIDE!
Both
women spill toward the floor—but Mina hits first as Starla holds the ropes
keeping her feet elevated!
Rick
Granger:
"SAM! SAM! STARLA DID IT!"
Sam
Duffy:
"MINA HARKER—THE MOST DOMINANT WOMAN IN THE MATCH—HAS BEEN ELIMINATED BY
STARLA NOVA!"
The
bell rings.
⭐ Winner: STARLA NOVA
She
wins the November All Ladies Battle Royal!
Starla
pulls herself back into the ring, exhausted but triumphant, as the arena erupts
around her.
Sam
Duffy:
"Starla Nova just survived the entire division—and eliminated Mina Harker
to win it!"
Rick
Granger:
"What a moment! What a win! And what a message to the Dark Dominion!"
POST-MATCH SEGMENT – Grizelda
Challenges Starla Nova
Starla Nova stands in the center of the ring, chest heaving,
one arm raised by Honest Abe as the crowd roars in approval. Confetti
doesn’t fall — Voltage doesn’t do that — but the energy is there, loud and
electric.
Sam Duffy:
"Starla Nova has shocked the entire division! She just eliminated Mina
Harker — the most dominant force in this Battle Royal — to win the whole
thing!"
Rick Granger:
"Sam, look out—this celebration might not last!"
The camera cuts to ringside, where Grizelda has
dragged herself to her feet, still holding the side of her ribs from that
insane diving elbow Starla used to eliminate her moments earlier. Her eyes burn
with fury beneath her tangled hair.
Grizelda slides back into the ring with a guttural snarl.
Sam Duffy:
"Oh no… Grizelda isn’t done! She has not taken that elimination well at
all!"
Starla readies herself, dropping into a fighting stance
despite being exhausted.
Grizelda steps right up to her — nose-to-nose — and snarls
loud enough that the ringside mic catches it.
Grizelda:
"STARLA NOVA… I WANT YOUR CONTRACT. NOW."
A massive gasp rolls through the arena.
Rick Granger:
"She’s challenging Starla for her Battle Royal contract! Immediately! She
wants the opportunity Starla just earned!"
The camera cuts to Mina Harker, leaning casually
against the apron where she landed.
She wipes a smear of blood from her lip… and smiles.
A cold, quiet, approving smile.
Sam Duffy:
"Rick… Mina’s not stopping her. She’s not even upset. It’s like—she wants
this."
Rick Granger:
"I’ve seen that look before. That’s a vampire watching wolves fight…
because no matter who wins, she feeds afterward."
Mina lifts her chin slightly toward Grizelda — a subtle
gesture of permission — before turning her back and walking up the ramp,
leaving the situation entirely in Grizelda’s hands.
The crowd starts chanting:
“LET’S GO STAR-LA!”
“GRI-ZEL-DA!”
Starla raises her chin defiantly, still breathing hard.
Starla Nova:
"You want my contract?
Try and take it."
The crowd explodes.
Sam Duffy:
"OH MY—STARLA SAID YES!"
Rick Granger:
"She’s insane, Sam! She just survived the entire division and now she’s
going to fight GRIZELDA?! Immediately?!"
Grizelda cracks her knuckles, eyes unblinking.
Referee Honest Abe looks around, stunned — but then signals
to the timekeeper.
Sam Duffy:
"Is this really happening?! It’s official! Starla Nova vs Grizelda —
Starla’s contract on the line — RIGHT NOW!"
Rick Granger:
"Voltage is out of control tonight and I am HERE FOR IT!"
The bell rings once — eerily loud.
DING-DING!
Match #2: Starla
Nova vs Grizelda for the open contract match.
Despite
her usual energy and presence, Starla Nova entered this match noticeably
worn down, not quite at full strength. The toll of previous battles showed
early, as Grizelda capitalized with a thunderous open-hand slap to
the chest to start things off.
Starla
briefly rallied with a crisp Cutlass Spinning Backfist, but Grizelda
shook it off and showed surprising resilience. Starla tried to quicken the pace
with a dropkick and another backfist, fighting through fatigue, but
Grizelda’s strategy was clear—target the legs, wear down the back, and take the
air out of Starla’s high-flying offense.
Grizelda
took full control in the sixth minute, locking in a punishing Boston Crab.
Starla writhed in pain, trying to inch her way to the ropes, but her energy
just wasn’t there. After a few agonizing moments, she had no choice but to tap.
Winner: Grizelda (via
submission – Boston Crab)
Grizelda claims the briefcase,
earning a future title shot.
Count Vlad comes
out and applauds. He gives Grizelda an
approving nod and they duo head backstage.
Backstage
Segment – “The Cold Comes First”
The
screen buzzes for a moment—just static—then fades into dim candlelight. We’re
somewhere undefined, a cracked concrete room, with black candles flickering
along a jagged, crudely drawn circle on the ground. Sitting cross-legged in the
center is Wilber Townsend, draped in a black shroud of fur and feathers.
His eyes glow faintly under a shadowed hood, and his voice is low, melodic…
haunting.
Wilber
Townsend:
"You can hear it, can't you... the iron scraping against the bone? That’s
the sound of the gate opening. That’s the sound of the cold coming first."
He
rocks gently back and forth, hands cradling something—a twisted piece of
scorched antler.
Wilber
Townsend:
"They say he lives in the dark woods… That he waits with claws of coal and
a hunger for punishment. That he’s… a monster."
A
smirk curls onto his lips.
Wilber
Townsend:
"But monsters know monsters, Krampus. And I know what you are. You're the
warning. I'm the sentence. You're the shadow. I am... the cell they build to
contain you."
He
slowly lifts his gaze, now burning with conviction.
Wilber
Townsend:
"So come December 6th… I offer you sanctuary. One made of steel and
hate. One where there’s no hiding behind horns and old tales. One where even
legends scream. I offer you… Hell in a Cell."
He
pauses—long, breathless. Then lets out a soft, twisted laugh, almost like a
lullaby.
Wilber
Townsend:
"I don't want to beat you, Krampus. I want to see what breaks first. Your
body... or your myth."
The
fans are in awe —then the segment cuts to black.
The
camera cuts to the ring as Tony Calibur stands center-ring with his mic
in hand.
Tony
Calibur:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Introducing first… from Mayberry, North Carolina… weighing in at 232 pounds…
this is O! P! CUNNINGHAAAAM!"
The
crowd erupts with cheers.
A
lively country-rock riff kicks up — “Small-Town Firestorm” by Three Barns
Over — as O.P. Cunningham bursts through the curtain, waving to the
fans with a big grin. He slaps hands up and down the ramp, even takes a moment
to greet a kid wearing a cardboard “OP #1” sign.
Sam
Duffy:
"Here he is, Rick — one of the most beloved men in HCW. O.P. Cunningham,
the pride of Mayberry!"
Rick
Granger:
"Say what you want, Sam — nobody fires up this crowd like OP. Simple man,
simple moves, but he’s tougher than a two-dollar steak."
OP
slides into the ring, hops up on the middle rope, and points up to the rafters
in that trademark wholesome way. The crowd pops again.
Tony
Calibur raises the mic.
Tony
Calibur:
"And his opponent…"
The
lights drop to a dim red as a gravelly guitar solo kicks in — “Dirty Hands,
Dirty Money” by The Chapel Knives.
Boos
rain down immediately.
Tony
Calibur:
"...from Crime Alley… weighing in at 246 pounds… MATCHES… MALONE!"
Malone
stomps out with a slow swagger, arms outstretched like he owns the whole
building. He’s sporting a torn-off black vest, taped fists, and one of his
infamous “I Win, You Lose” shirts. He sneers at the fans, ripping up a homemade
OP sign as he passes.
Sam
Duffy:
"Matches Malone has not been in a good mood lately. Last few weeks he’s
been snapping at fans, refs, wrestlers — anybody within punching
distance."
Rick
Granger:
"He calls this his ‘course correction,’ Sam. Says he’s done playing nice,
done trying to impress. Tonight? He’s here to hurt somebody."
Malone
reaches ringside, pauses, and glares at OP, who stands firm and unmoving. He
takes a slow step forward, sliding into the ring deliberately, never breaking
eye contact.
Referee
Honest Abe steps in between them.
Sam
Duffy:
"Looks like OP was trying to keep this a clean, sportsmanlike affair… but
Malone? He’s here on pure attitude."
Malone
smirks and mouths something to OP — the cameras pick up:
Malone:
"Hope you said your prayers, Mayberry."
OP
narrows his eyes — a rare flash of seriousness crossing his face.
Rick
Granger:
"Oh yeah, that did it. OP doesn’t take kindly to people running down his
hometown."
Honest
Abe checks both men, then signals to the timekeeper.
DING-DING!
The
match is underway.
The bell rings, and both men charge straight into one
another.
Sam Duffy:
"OP comes out swinging tonight!"
But Malone is just as ready. He flicks his fingers upward—“Flick
Matchsticks in the Face”—a dirty, stinging cheap shot that blinds OP for a
moment.
OP shakes it off and blasts Malone with a stiff
clothesline, sending him staggering back into the ropes.
Rick Granger:
"Malone tried to start this thing with a shortcut, but OP isn’t the type
to let a little eye-sting slow him down!"
Malone lunges back, snapping OP’s head with Lights Out,
a sharp neck-jolt strike. OP absorbs it, rebounds, and floors him with another
thundering clothesline.
The crowd comes alive as OP picks up steam—but Malone cuts
it off fast, catching him in a Sleeperhold, wrenching and grinding down.
OP refuses to fade, powering forward and crushing Malone in
the corner with a running big splash.
Sam Duffy:
"Classic OP! If he can get his weight behind those splashes, Malone’s in
trouble!"
Back on their feet, both men collide in the center of the
ring. Malone rams OP into the turnbuckles with a vicious Turnbuckle Smash,
but OP fires back instantly, heaving Malone overhead with a belly-to-belly
suplex that rattles the ring.
Rick Granger:
"These two are trading bombs tonight. This is turning into a
slugfest!"
Malone regroups and catches OP coming in with a heavy Overhead
Smash, clubbing him to the mat. OP tries to defend but gets flattened.
Malone drops an elbow across OP’s chest, then hauls him up
and runs him into the corner again—another Turnbuckle Smash, even harder
than before.
OP slumps forward, stunned.
Sam Duffy:
"OP’s hurt, Rick. Malone found a target and he’s sticking with it."
The Finish
With OP dazed, Malone hooks him, slams him face-first into
the turnbuckle one final time, and cradles him tight.
Honest Abe slides in for the count.
1!
2!
3!
Tony Calibur:
"Here is your winner… MATCHES MALONE!"
Rick Granger:
"Malone steals it with that last Turnbuckle Smash. That’s a big win for
him here on Voltage."
Sam Duffy:
"And OP Cunningham gave it everything he had. That was a heavy, heavy hit
into that steel. Malone got him tonight."
Malone rolls out of the ring, smirking, wiping sweat from
his brow as he mouths to the camera:
"Course corrected."
OP sits up slowly, holding his jaw, disappointed but not
defeated. The crowd cheers him on as he rises.
Pre-Taped Segment – "Challenge
Accepted"
The
Omegatron illuminates as the lights dim and the screen cuts to a cold,
wind-blown mountain ledge under dark grey skies. A lone wooden chapel bell
tolls in the background. Standing tall in the snow, draped in worn crimson
robes and black leather armor, is Krampus—his antlered hood pulled low,
his steel-gray beard frosted, and the massive chains of punishment wrapped over
one shoulder.
He’s
not in some mystical lair. He’s out in the open, on sacred ground. The camera
pans slowly in as he stares off into the horizon, snow flurries gathering at
his feet.
Krampus (low, deliberate
tone):
"Hell in a Cell. December 6th. So that’s the fire you want to dance
in."
He
turns, his piercing eyes focused now straight ahead.
Krampus:
"I’ve walked through centuries of war, through blizzards that tore flesh
from bone. I’ve stood over the wicked and the foolish and the proud—and made
them all kneel. So if you think your whispers and riddles make you dangerous,
Wilber... you haven’t met real punishment."
He
steps forward, snow crunching under his boots, pulling the chain tighter across
his back.
Krampus:
"You serve a throne. I serve a purpose. There’s a difference."
He
pauses, then tilts his head ever so slightly, voice growing colder.
Krampus:
"But this time... there’s something else. You want to walk into my domain
again? Then hear me now—when I beat you again... you’re done hiding in the
shadows of the Dominion."
A
beat. His eyes narrow.
Krampus:
"You will become one of mine. A branded minion of the Demonic Legion.
And you will pledge sole allegiance to me—and only me."
He
lets the words hang in the cold, bitter air like a frozen sentence.
Krampus:
"You want the Cell? You want pain? Then put your soul on the line,
Wilber."
A
subtle grin forms—tight, weathered, knowing.
Krampus:
"I don’t cage the beasts. I drag them back into the cold."
The
bell tolls again. Thunder cracks above the mountain.
Krampus:
"See you in Hell, Wilber."
Fade
to black.
The
camera cuts back to ringside as Tony Calibur steps forward, mic in hand.
Tony
Calibur:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one
fall!"
A
burst of gritty guitar hits — “Blood on the Trail” by Rusted Republic —
and the lights tint a dusty amber as smoke rolls across the stage.
Tony
Calibur:
"Introducing first… from Mustang Ridge, Wyoming… weighing in at 255
pounds… THE BOUNTY HUNTER… JAKE MONTROSE!"
Jake
Montrose steps through the curtain with slow, deliberate purpose. Cowboy duster
swaying, taped fists clenched, he scans the crowd with the calm, deadly focus
of a man walking into a gunfight. He stomps down the ramp, ignoring the fans
entirely, eyes locked on the ring like he’s marching toward a payday.
Sam
Duffy:
"There he is, Rick — one of the toughest, no-nonsense men in HCW. Jake
Montrose doesn’t smile, doesn’t pose, doesn’t play to the crowd. He’s here to
fight."
Rick
Granger:
"And he’s walking into a nightmare, Sam. Brave man… maybe too brave."
Jake
climbs into the ring, shrugs off his duster, and stretches his neck with a
crack audible on the camera mic. He’s ready.
The
lights abruptly shut off.
The
crowd gasps.
A
cold, rumbling bass note vibrates through the arena.
Dark-blue
light begins pulsing like an icy heartbeat as the first notes of “Frozen
Kingdom” by Cavern Lord echo through the building.
Smoke
billows across the stage.
Slowly,
a shadow takes shape.
THE
YETI ARRIVES
Tony
Calibur:
"And his opponent… accompanied to the ring by Count Vlad and Feral…
representing the Dark Dominion… he is the mountain-born nightmare… THE YETI!"
The
Yeti emerges — hulking, frost-misted breath pumping from his chest, shoulders
hunched like a thawed beast dragged from an arctic tomb. His eyes burn through
the haze like glacier fire.
Behind
him stalks Count Vlad, dressed in regal black and crimson, hands clasped
behind his back like a conductor guiding the destruction. He surveys the crowd
with a slow, predatory grin — the kind that never reaches his eyes.
Flanking
them is Feral, crawling low and twitching like a feral animal, snarling
at fans who recoil as she lunges toward the barricade. Her hair is wild, her
movement unpredictable, her presence unsettling.
Sam
Duffy:
"Oh my… the entire Dark Dominion is out here. Vlad. Feral. And the Yeti
himself. This is not good for Jake Montrose!"
Rick
Granger:
"Sam… look at Vlad’s smile. That’s not confidence. That’s hunger. There’s
something wrong with that man and whatever he’s whispering to the Yeti before
matches is working."
Vlad
steps ahead, raising his arms slowly.
The
Yeti stops, towering behind him.
Rick
Granger:
"Oh, that’s chilling. The Yeti looks like he’s waiting for Vlad’s
permission to destroy someone."
Vlad
turns to the Yeti… whispers something inaudible… and gestures toward the ring.
The
Yeti lets out a thunderous roar and storms forward.
Feral
crawls behind them, eyes locked on Jake like prey she’s already claimed.
Jake
stands in the ring, fists clenched, unmoving.
Sam
Duffy:
"Jake Montrose isn’t backing down. Look at him. He’s staring the Yeti dead
in the eyes."
Rick
Granger:
"Yeah… but Sam… the Yeti isn’t staring back. He’s studying. And that’s far
worse."
The
Yeti steps over the top rope in one monstrous stride.
Vlad
and Feral take their places at ringside, poised like vultures ready to feast.
Referee
Honest Abe signals both men to separate.
The
bell hasn’t rung yet…
…but
the crowd is already on edge, waiting for someone to explode.
The
bell rings, and Jake Montrose charges straight at the towering Yeti, showing no
hesitation whatsoever.
Sam
Duffy:
"Jake Montrose promised he’d stand toe-to-toe with the monster — and he’s
doing it!"
Jake
cracks Yeti’s spine across his knee with a stiff backbreaker, but the big man
barely budges. Yeti responds by crushing Jake in a suffocating bearhug,
squeezing the life out of him. Jake refuses to quit, pounding Yeti’s ribs until
he breaks free.
Yeti
lunges again — but Jake boots him in the gut, doubling him over.
Rick
Granger:
"That’s how you beat a beast, Sam. One piece at a time!"
Jake
keeps pressing, hammering Yeti with forearm smashes that echo through the
arena. But the monster shakes it off, locks Jake in a grinding headlock, and
bulldozes him across the ring — only for Jake to counter, spiking Yeti with a bodyslam
on the floor.
The
crowd surges as Yeti staggers up just before the count-out.
Back
inside, both men trade bombs — Jake’s forearm sledge vs Yeti’s avalanche-like
strikes. Then Yeti hits a devastating Avalanche German Suplex, folding
Jake in half.
Sam
Duffy:
"How is Jake Montrose still getting up after that?!"
Yeti
clamps on another bearhug, this one even deeper — but Jake refuses to submit,
headbutting and kneeing until he forces his way out.
That’s
when Count Vlad makes his first move.
He
points directly at Jake and whispers an incantation-like taunt. Yeti’s eyes
glaze, and he snaps to life with a brutal stomp to Montrose’s face.
Rick
Granger:
"That’s that Dominion mind poison at work. Vlad's got Yeti on a
leash."
Jake
rallies, smashing Yeti across the back with clubbing forearms — but as he hits
the ropes…
Feral
reaches in and claws his ankle.
Jake
stumbles — just long enough for Yeti to crush him in the corner.
Honest
Abe sees nothing.
Sam
Duffy:
"Come on! Feral just grabbed his leg! Open your eyes, Abe!"
Rick
Granger:
"Abe can’t see everything, Sam. Especially not when Feral’s crawling under
the apron like some kind of cave creature!"
Yeti
tries over and over to break Jake:
·
Headlock after headlock
·
Abominable Growls that leave Jake
dazed
·
Multiple Tombstone Piledrivers that shake the ring
·
Turnbuckle smashes that rattle Jake’s
spine
Jake
keeps getting up.
Keeps fighting.
Keeps hitting back.
He
boots Yeti in the stomach.
Drops elbows on the monster’s neck.
Clubs him across the back again and again.
Sam
Duffy:
"Jake Montrose isn’t just fighting — he’s surviving. And he’s proving
something to everybody in HCW right now."
Rick
Granger:
"And to Yeti. And to Vlad. This man doesn’t know the meaning of the word
‘quit.’"
Even
when Vlad shoves Honest Abe to get away with interference, Jake refuses
to go down.
The
closing stretch sees Yeti at his absolute most terrifying.
Yeti
hits:
·
A third Tombstone Piledriver
·
A massive Avalanche German Suplex
·
Heavy Power Smashes
·
Repeated Abominable Growls
·
Stomps straight to Jake’s face
Each
time Yeti tries to cover, Jake kicks out — once at one, once at two,
once at two-and-three-quarters, the crowd exploding louder each time.
Sam
Duffy:
"Jake Montrose is trying to make a name for himself tonight! And he might
actually be doing it!"
Finally,
Yeti crushes Jake with one more Avalanche Suplex, but Jake kicks out
AGAIN.
Vlad
is becoming impatient. He motions at
Yeti to finish it.
Feral
slams her hands on the apron, snarling like a wild animal.
Jake
gets to his knees but falls back to the mat…
…only
to get crushed by a final massive elbow drop straight to the heart.
Yeti
hooks the leg.
1!
2!
3!
Tony
Calibur:
"Here is your winner… THE YETI!"
Yeti
rises, chest heaving, eyes blank — waiting for Vlad’s approval.
Vlad
steps into frame, smirking with paternal pride.
Feral crawls into the ring and circles Jake like a predator inspecting fallen
prey.
Jake
lies battered… but not broken.
He rolls to his side, coughing, refusing the stretcher.
Sam
Duffy:
"Jake Montrose took the beating of a lifetime… but he never stopped
fighting."
Rick
Granger:
"And Yeti took everything he had. But Sam… this isn’t over. You KNOW this
isn’t over."
Just
then, the camera flickers… because someone is coming next.
Yeti
rises from his pinfall victory, looming over Jake Montrose like a frozen titan.
Feral snarls and crawls around the fallen cowboy, her claws raking the canvas
beside him. Count Vlad steps into the ring with regal calm, hands folded behind
his back as if observing a successful hunt.
Sam
Duffy:
"Jake Montrose gave everything he had — and he’s STILL trying to get up!
But look at the Dominion, Rick. Look at them circling him."
Rick
Granger:
"This is the part where things usually get much, MUCH worse."
Vlad
gestures downward.
Feral
lunges.
But—
BOOM!
A
massive roar erupts from the crowd as “Alaskan Fury” by Wolf Totem Tribe
blasts through the arena speakers.
The
lights flicker icy blue.
The
camera whips toward the stage—
JAX
IS HERE.
Jax
storms onto the ramp, jaw clenched, blood pounding through his temples as he
stares down the ring with murder in his eyes. His gloves are taped up. His
flannel is torn open. The man looks like he hasn’t slept — only fought.
Sam
Duffy:
"JAX HAS HIT THE ARENA! THE ALASKAN WILDMAN IS BACK!"
Rick
Granger:
"And YETI IS SMILING. HE’S SMILING, SAM! WHY IS HE SMILING?!"
Inside
the ring, the Yeti steps forward and beats his chest, roaring right back at
Jax.
Feral drops to all fours and screeches, pounding the mat.
Vlad stands between them, grinning with unshakable calm.
Jax
marches down the ramp with purpose — not sprinting — marching like a man
accepting destiny.
He
reaches ringside.
Jake
Montrose, still crawling, tries to push himself up.
Jax
pauses.
He
looks at Jake.
And
he nods.
A
tiny gesture of respect.
Rick
Granger:
"Sam… Jax just acknowledged Jake Montrose. That’s rare. That’s VERY
rare."
Jax
then turns his full fury back to the ring.
He
climbs onto the apron and steps inside.
The
crowd is deafening.
Yeti
meets him in the center.
Face
to face.
Chest
to chest.
Neither
moves.
Neither
breathes.
Neither
blinks.
Sam
Duffy:
"This is the third time these two monsters have shared a ring this year…
and every time, something explodes."
Vlad
lifts a single hand — just one finger — signaling Yeti to stay still.
Jax
slowly raises his fists.
Yeti
tilts his head… studying him… then EXPLODES forward—
—but
Vlad SLAMS his staff down, ordering him to stop.
The
entire building boos.
Rick
Granger:
"OH COME ON! VLAD JUST STOPPED THE FIGHT! HE KNOWS JAX IS READY!"
Vlad
steps between them, his grin widening.
Then
he lifts the mic.
Count
Vlad: (Joyous,
theatrical)
"Not yet.
No, no, not yet, Wildman.
You will have what you crave soon…
…when the Dominion says so."
Jax
takes a single step toward Vlad.
Feral
shrieks and lunges to block him, swiping the air with her claws.
Jax
doesn’t flinch.
Sam
Duffy:
"Jax isn’t afraid of Vlad…
He isn’t afraid of Feral…
And he sure as hell isn’t afraid of the Yeti."
Vlad
gestures for Yeti and Feral to leave the ring.
The
monster and the feral beast obey him instantly.
Yeti
backs away slowly, eyes still locked on Jax the whole time.
As
they exit, Jax leans over the ropes, pointing directly at Yeti as the crowd
erupts:
Jax
Brenner:
"THIS… ISN’T… OVER! YOU AND ME…ZERO
HOUR."
Yeti
beats his chest and roars back as Vlad guides him up the ramp.
The
Dominion leaves.
Jax
remains in the ring, breathing like a caged animal, staring up the ramp with
pure predatory focus.
Sam
Duffy:
"It isn’t over, Rick. Not even close."
Rick
Granger:
"December is going to be violent."
Fade
to commercial.
Backstage Segment – Candace with Count
Vlad, Mina Harker, and Korbi Kong
We
cut backstage to the interview set. The Iron Maidens Tag Team Championship
belts gleam over the shoulders of Mina Harker and Korbi Kong,
with Count Vlad standing between them, hands resting lightly on each
title. Candace Hart stands opposite them with a microphone.
Candace
Hart:
"Count Vlad, Mina, Korbi… tonight’s main event sees the Iron Maidens Tag
Team Titles on the line against the All American Sweethearts. We just saw
Starla Nova win — and then immediately lose — her Battle Royal contract. Is
that a message from the Dark Dominion to the rest of the women’s
division?"
Count
Vlad:
"‘Message’ is such a small word, Candace.
What
you witnessed was… proof. Proof that hope is brittle. Starla Nova reached for
the stars and shattered her wings on the Dominion’s ceiling. Grizelda merely
collected the pieces."
He
turns slightly, admiring the belts on Mina and Korbi.
Count
Vlad:
"And tonight, the Sweethearts will learn the same lesson. Patriotic
slogans. Fireworks. Little flags. All very cute. But Mina and Korbi? They are
not here to be ‘inspirational.’ They are here to be inevitable."
Candace
Hart:
"Mina, Korbi — the Sweethearts say you’ve poisoned this division and that
they’re going to ‘restore honor’ to the Iron Maidens titles. Your
response?"
Mina
Harker:
"Restore honor? These belts were born in blood, Candace. They were
baptized in betrayal and consecrated in the screams of everyone who thought
they could ‘save’ this division from us. The only thing the Sweethearts are
going to restore… is my amusement."
She
tilts her head, a predatory smirk creeping in.
Mina
Harker:
"And if Scarlett or Ruby feel like playing heroes again? They know where
to find us."
Korbi
Kong:
"The All American Sweethearts like to pretend they’re on some grand
mission. But when that bell rings, mission statements don’t matter. Only damage
does. I’m the one who makes the impact… Mina’s the one who finishes the
story."
Korbi
taps the face of the belt on her shoulder.
Korbi
Kong:
"Tonight, Candace? These titles don’t move. The only things moving… are
the Sweethearts, when we drag what’s left of them out of our ring."
Candace
Hart:
"So, no concern at all about outside interference? Scarlett, Ruby, maybe
even Starla?"
Vlad
smiles, low and dangerous.
Count
Vlad:
"Oh, Candace… the Dark Dominion is not concerned with who interferes
tonight. Only with who is still breathing when it is over. The Sweethearts walk
into our storm by choice. We are simply the weather."
Vlad
gives a small nod to the camera.
Count
Vlad:
"Prepare your national anthem, Sweethearts. Tonight… the refrain will be
screams."
Mina
and Korbi step forward, raising their titles to the lens as we cut back toward
ringside for the main event.
The
camera cuts to ringside. Tony Calibur stands center ring, poised for
introductions.
Lights
shift to blinding red, white, and blue strobes.
A
bombastic brass-and-glam-rock anthem hits — “Stars, Stripes & Spotlight”
by Patriot Princess Brigade — filling the arena with over-the-top patriotic
swagger.
Tony
Calibur:
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall… and it is for the IRON
MAIDENS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first… the challengers… weighing
in at a combined 248 pounds… THE ALL… AMERICAN… SWEETHEARTS!"
Ainsley
America bursts through the curtain first, saluting dramatically like she’s on a
military parade field — chin high, chest out, the picture of manufactured
patriotism.
Behind
her, LeePurty Belle steps forward in flowing red-white-and-blue fringe,
waving a giant U.S. flag with theatrical gusto.
They
pose at the top of the ramp as red, white, and blue pyro explodes behind
them in a vertical fountain. The crowd boos emphatically, but the Sweethearts
just smile wider.
Sam
Duffy:
"Well, here come the Sweethearts — and Rick, I’ve never seen a team so
confident despite being outnumbered and outmatched tonight."
Rick
Granger:
"They call themselves America’s last line of defense, Sam. But what they
really defend is their own ego. Look at Ainsley’s grin! She thinks she’s the
President, the Senate, AND the Supreme Court!"
Ainsley
points to the booing fans and shouts, “UNGRATEFUL!” while LeePurty blows kisses
as if blessing the masses with her presence.
They
march to ringside with exaggerated pageantry, saluting fans who actively turn
their backs. Ainsley lifts her mini-flag like a torch, jumping onto the apron
and posing as Belle slides dramatically under the ropes.
They
hold their flag high in the center of the ring, soaking in the hostility.
The
lights suddenly die.
A
cold, pulsing violet glow fills the arena.
A
low rumble vibrates the floor like distant thunder.
Smoke
floods the stage.
A
single chanted note — monastic, dark, echoing — pierces the silence.
Then—
BOOM.
A shock of crimson lightning cracks across the screen.
Tony
Calibur:
"And their opponents… representing the Dark Dominion… they are the
reigning, defending IRON MAIDENS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… KORBI KONG… AND
MINA HARKER!"
“Veins
of the Eternal One” by Crimson Choir Sect hits, and Mina
Harker appears first — emerging from the smoke like a gothic apparition. Her
eyes are locked forward, predatory, her movements precise. The Iron Maidens
title hangs over her shoulder like a trophy harvested from a victim.
Beside
her steps Korbi Kong, shoulders squared, jaw set, her expression cold as
stone. She lifts her belt straight upward — no theatrics, no posing — just
dominance.
Behind
them, the unmistakable silhouette of Count Vlad appears at the top of
the ramp, hands folded behind his back, smirking with regal satisfaction.
The
arena shudders with boos.
Sam
Duffy:
"And here come the champions… the most sadistic pair in the division —
Mina Harker and Korbi Kong."
Rick
Granger:
"And look at Vlad behind them, Sam. He’s not even pretending to hide his
confidence. He thinks this match is a formality."
The
three walk in perfect formation:
·
Mina gliding like a shadow
·
Korbi marching like a general
·
Vlad floating behind them like a king surveying a
conquered land
At
ringside, the Sweethearts posture proudly, waving their flag in defiance.
Mina
steps onto the apron and leans back slowly, eyes locked on Ainsley America,
tongue clicking softly like a predator savoring the scent.
Korbi
enters the ring without breaking eye contact with Belle.
Vlad
stays outside, lifting his hands as if blessing the violence to come.
Rick
Granger:
"Sam… this is heel vs heel. Pride vs poison. Patriotism vs pure darkness.
This is going to be ugly."
Sam
Duffy:
"And it is our main event — the Iron Maidens Tag Team Championships — next!"
The
camera tightens on the belts as Mina and Korbi raise them high, staring down
the Sweethearts as the crowd boos both sides.
The
bell rings and the hostility is immediate.
Ainsley
America steps forward, smirking with patriotic arrogance — only for Count
Vlad to reach through the ropes and jab the Transylvania Spike into her
throat. Ainsley stumbles back gagging, but somehow catches Mina coming in and
launches her with a sudden Patriot Plex that shakes the ring.
Sam
Duffy:
"Vlad struck first, but Ainsley somehow answered harder!"
Rick
Granger:
"That ego of hers won’t let her stay down — even for Count Vlad."
Mina
slides out clutching her throat and tags Korbi Kong.
Ainsley
charges Korbi with a barrage of forearm shots, shouting “FOR AMERICA!” with
every swing. The strikes actually stagger Korbi long enough for Ainsley to tag
in Leepurty Belle, who springboards into the ring with the Kiss of Liberty,
a spinning heel kick that cracks Mina across the jaw as she tries to re-enter.
Belle
tries to capitalize, snapping Korbi into the Liberty Lockdown Fujiwara
armbar, wrenching back on the powerhouse’s arm. Korbi grits her teeth and
refuses to submit, dragging both women toward Mina for the tag. Mina slips back
in, but Belle is too quick, knocking her off balance and forcing her to retreat
again.
The
Sweethearts smell blood.
They
whip Mina into their corner and begin a two-on-one sequence the moment Honest
Abe’s back turns. Ainsley crushes Mina with a running knee, Belle sweeps her
legs out, and they pose proudly as the crowd showers them with boos.
Sam
Duffy:
"You can call them arrogant, but don’t call them ineffective. The
Sweethearts came to win."
Mina,
furious, shoves Belle away and tags Korbi back in. The champions finally regain
some control — until Ainsley responds by leaping off the apron with the American
Avalanche, tackling Korbi from behind and sending both women crashing into
the barricade.
The
match breaks down completely as all four women charge the ring at once. Mina
swings around Belle’s neck and drops back into a bridge, locking her into the
Nightmare Clutch as Korbi leaps over the top with a crushing elbow drop. Belle
still kicks out, stumbling to her feet just in time to slap Mina clean across
the face before snapping her over with the Sweet Tea Snapmare. Ainsley follows
up with another blindside dive that sends Mina tumbling to the floor, nearly
counted out before she manages to slide back inside at four.
The
champs recover, and now the Dominion begins to take over.
Vlad
distracts the referee as Mina drops Belle with a sharp spin kick to the ribs.
Korbi follows with a stiff forearm uppercut that sends Belle staggering into
the ropes. Belle tries to answer with a flying forearm, but Mina counters
midair into a hurricanrana, planting her face-first into the mat. Belle somehow
kicks out, but she’s visibly dazed.
Ainsley
jumps in to rescue her partner, cracking Korbi with a Justice Jab across the
jaw. The crowd boos, but there’s no questioning the impact. Ainsley hoists
Korbi up for the Democracy Driver — but Mina dives across the ropes to break it
up, then hits Belle with another sharp takedown before tagging back out.
The
final stretch is a flurry of chaos.
Belle
tries one last desperation counter, tripping Korbi into a roll-up, but Korbi
rolls through and stands up like nothing happened. Vlad suddenly slams his hand
on the apron, barking a command. Belle turns toward him — and Korbi lunges
forward, cracking her spine with a diving forearm to the back.
Belle
hits the mat hard.
Korbi
drags her to center-ring as Vlad nails Belle with another hidden Transylvania
Spike from the outside. Belle collapses, clutching her neck.
Sam
Duffy:
"Come on! Vlad has interfered all night!"
Rick
Granger:
"And the Sweethearts would have done the same if they could’ve reached
him!"
Korbi
drops down into a tight lateral press as Mina blocks Ainsley from diving
inside.
Abe
slides in.
1!
2!
3!
Tony
Calibur:
"Here are your winners — and STILL the Iron Maidens Tag Team Champions…
Mina Harker and Korbi Kong!"
Mina
and Korbi immediately pounce back onto the Sweethearts, stomping them down
without mercy.
Vlad
applauds at ringside as the champions drag Ainsley and Belle to opposite
corners and continue the assault.
Sam
Duffy:
"Oh come on — the match is over! They’re trying to dismantle them!"
Korbi
presses a boot into Belle’s throat. Mina hoists Ainsley backward into another
clutch.
Suddenly,
the crowd erupts.
The
Tinsel Twins — Sparkle and Twinkle — sprint down the ramp, glitter flying from
their robes like they ran through a confetti cannon. Sparkle cracks Mina with a
flying forearm, sending her rolling under the ropes. Twinkle hits Korbi with a
spinning elbow that rocks the powerhouse back into the corner.
The
Dark Dominion retreats, glaring from the floor. Korbi clutches her jaw. Mina
hisses through her teeth, stalking Vlad as he orders their retreat.
Rick
Granger:
"The Tinsel Twins just chased off the champions!"
But
the relief is short-lived.
Ainsley
America rises behind them, furious at being “saved.”
Belle
gets up beside her, wiping glitter from her face with utter disgust.
Ainsley
America
shouts,
"WE DIDN'T NEED YOUR HELP!"
Before
the crowd can process it, the Sweethearts attack their rescuers,
blindsiding Sparkle and Twinkle with clubbing blows from behind. Sparkle
crumples. Twinkle tries to fight back but gets slammed down by the Glam Slam
Murica.
Ainsley
stands over them with her flag, pointing it down like a weapon.
Ainsley
America:
"You’re beneath us!"
Belle
kneels beside the fallen twins, sneering.
Leepurty
Belle:
"If you want to ‘save’ something… save yourselves."
Ainsley
steps forward and shouts toward Tony Calibur and the camera:
Ainsley
America:
"Tinsel Twins — next week, we challenge you for the next shot at the Iron
Maidens Tag Titles! Prove you deserve to breathe the same air as us!"
The
crowd boos as the Sweethearts pose over the Twins’ bodies, saluting mockingly.
Sam
Duffy:
"Only in HCW can two heel teams save and betray each other in the same
breath!"
Rick
Granger:
"Next week just got VERY interesting."
Voltage
goes off the air with the Tinsel Twins laid out, the Sweethearts saluting, and
Mina and Korbi watching from the ramp with cold smiles.
The
camera cuts back to the commentary desk where Sam Duffy and Rick
Granger are still wide-eyed, papers scattered, adrenaline unmistakable.
Sam
Duffy:
"Folks… what a chaotic end to Voltage. The Tinsel Twins laid out, the All
American Sweethearts issuing a challenge, and the champions Mina Harker and
Korbi Kong watching the entire division crumble beneath them."
Rick
Granger:
"This women’s tag division is a powder keg, Sam. And the fuse is burning
FAST. Next week’s match between the Sweethearts and the Tinsel Twins? Someone’s
leaving in shambles."
Sam
Duffy:
"And don’t forget what we saw earlier — Yeti surviving a brutal war with
Jake Montrose and coming face-to-face with Jax. The whole locker room feels
like it’s shaking tonight."
Rick
Granger:
"It’s the holiday season everywhere else, Sam… but here in HCW? December’s
looking downright violent."
Sam
nods as fans in the background continue reacting to the chaos in the ring.
Sam
Duffy:
"Thank you for joining us tonight for another explosive edition of
Voltage. We’ll be right back tomorrow night with even more action as HCW rolls
toward one of the biggest months of the year."
Rick
Granger:
"For Sam Duffy, I’m Rick Granger — saying goodnight from Columbia, South
Carolina."
The
HCW logo flashes across the screen as the final pyro crackles on the stage
behind them.
END
