Finishing moves The Wing Ripper - bridging grounded double chickenwing (adopted from Daniel Bryan) *Against opponents under 200 lbs, this move may be transitioned to from a bridging tiger suplex, in which Willow pushes herself further back against her opponent and thus forces them into the prone position.*
Mare de Lune - inverted snapmare driver
Weight-appropriate finisher (to be used on opponents who are roughly 200 lbs or under) The Widow Maker - chokeslam dropped into a double-knee backbreaker. (To clarify: The Widow lifts her opponent in the manner of a two-handed chokeslam. At the pinnacle of the lifting motion, Willow leaves both feet and falls back with knees bent, thus sending the opponent crashing horizontally into both of Willow's knees.)
Rare weight-appropriate finisher (PPV only; to be used on opponents who are roughly 200 lbs or under) Widow's Peak - gory neckbreaker (adopted from Lisa Marie Varon)
Signature moves Nomen Nescio - bridging northern lights suplex transitioned into a brainbuster
String Cutter - Regal Cutter (adopted from William Regal)
Dollbreaker - cutthroat backbreaker
Stonecaster DDT - cutthroat falling reverse DDT
Weight-appropriate signature moves (to be used on opponents who are roughly 200 lbs or under) Sonnet - 14-second delayed vertical suplex
Widow's Peak - Willow places her opponent in a crucifix Gory Special and approaches a ring corner, then turns 180° and pushes the opponent away, sending them face-first or chest-first into the top turnbuckle (innovated) (if the opponent doesn't collapse to the mat, she follows up with Willow's Knee)
Willow's Knee - fireman's carry neckbreaker a.k.a. Ushigoroshi (Sometimes performed on its own / sometimes used as a follow-up to the Widow's Peak)
The Widow's Might - gorilla press transitioned into a sitout scoop slam (adopted from A-Train)
Psychological tactics Shadow Puppet - Willow mirrors her opponent in some fashion (stance, taunt, etc.)
Weeping Willow - Willow can weep voluntarily. This tactic sees Willow place her opponent in a common rest hold (i.e. rear chin lock; abdominal stretch)—or simply grab a fallen opponent by the head—and cry onto the opponent's face.
Willow Tree - Willow hooks her opponent up in a Tree of Woe and draws out a battered ox-eye daisy from under her right-arm wrist tape. This is a transitional move, leading to one of two moves, based on what phrase she speaks when one petal remains... - (S)he Loves Me - Willow tosses the petals away, drops onto her belly and brings her opponent's face to hers, kissing them sweetly on the lips. - (S)he Loves Me Not - Willow drops onto her belly and blows the loose petals into the opponent's face.
Illegal/dirty signature moves Figure-four leglock around a corner post (adopted from Bret Hart)
Triangle armbar around a corner post
Widow Speak - Willow grabs her grounded opponent by the head with one hand and manipulates their jaw with the other, making it appear as though they are speaking—after a few moments of this, she releases her opponent's jaw and slams their face into the mat repeatedly (*so named by Ray Jeffrey*)
Common dirty moves - Corner foot choke - STO (from inside the ring) to an opponent standing on the apron
Common moves - Various strikes: forearm smashes, shoot kicks, clubbing blows, knife edge chops, etc. - Various pinning combos: schoolgirl, small package, backslide, etc. - Evasive maneuvers: skin-the-cat, leapfrog, etc. - Hurricanrana (sometimes as a reversal) - Drop toe hold - Deep arm drag (to an oncoming opponent) - Jumping armbreaker - Hammerlock Russian legsweep - Fujiwara armbar - Monkey flip - Dropkick (to an oncoming opponent) - Diving clothesline - Suicide dive through the ropes
Common weight-appropriate grapple moves (to be used on opponents who are roughly 200 lbs or under) - Back body drop - Butterfly suplex - Northern lights suplex - Hammerlock scoop slam
Entrance The 4CWTron's video feed cuts out, as do the house lights. Darkness overtakes the arena once again, and the eerie keyboard intro to "Nocturnal Strains" by Eternal Tears of Sorrow takes a trip around the PA system. The blackness is overtaken by the dancing of pale blue spotlights as the rest of the instrumentation kicks in, forming a heavy, brooding build. One spotlight holds steady at center stage as dense black smoke billows across the entire stage area. It begins to rise rapidly, obscuring some of the video feed as the 4CWTron starts back up; what we can see on the visible parts of the screen are scenes from the various mysterious promo videos that aired in late 2018. The song picks up somewhat, though still building up, as the hooded, masked woman comes crawling out through the smoke, keeping low to the stage floor.
As she crawls out of the most dense region of smoke, something odd begins to become clear: the woman appears to have cords—or "strings", as it were—attached to to her wrists and the back of her gas mask. All at once, she collapses face-down onto the stage—but is pulled up onto her feet with an unseen "tug" of the cables. Another vertical tug raises her lowered, inert head enough to make it face forward, and the build of Nocturnal Strains gives way to a moody, mid-tempo metal verse.
Carson: Making her way to the ring, from Widow's Hill and weighing in at 130lbs... WILLOW THE WIDOW!
Willow tries to take a few steps down the ramp, but is pulled back to the top of it by her arms. With a frustrated howl, she produces a pair of scissors from a hidden pocket in her unusual hooded coat and hacks away the strings on her arms and head. Free to move of her own accord, she takes off down the ramp at a clip, slides into the ring and rises up off the canvas. The lights go back to normal. Willow then removes her coat and gas mask as her theme song cuts out.
