Lifetime Thriller Pitch: "Snow White and the Octagon" (Partially Inspired by "Cobra Kai")

[CEDAvsFan]

A young woman (Sarah Jeffery) has been training to become a MMA fighter like her late father (Michael Jai White in flashbacks); however, while she has a good support system in the form of her best friend (Kayleigh Shikanai) and boyfriend (Azeem Vecchio); however, Sarah is on the constant end of belittling from her stepmother (Courtney Henggeler), who believes that women have no place in MMA and thinks that her son, Sarah's stepbrother (Tanner Buchanan) would be better in such a field.

However, Sarah finds herself moving up the MMA card, while Tanner struggles and ends up injured. In response to Sarah's success, Courtney appears to be accepting and apologetic about her doubts, and recommends her to a "trainer to the stars" to make sure she's a shoo-in to become champion. Sarah meets her trainer (Alicia Hannah-Kim), but she ends up put through the ringer to the point where her career, and possibly her life is endangered. A video call made by Alicia revealed that her intent was to intentionally injure Sarah, and she converses with the mastermind behind the plan: Courtney, who voices her jealousy and bitterness over Sarah outshining Tanner. Courtney then informs Alicia that while simply injuring Sarah was the plan, she now wants Alicia to kill Sarah, as she insanely blames her stepdaughter for her son's failures, and sees Sarah as an obstacle.

Additional cast includes Jennifer Freeman as Sarah's materrnal aunt, Valerie Loureda as a rival of Sarah's, Erica Mena as Sarah's deceased mother in flashbacks, and a cameo appearance from Bruce Buffer.

You have a solid idea here, but do consider a twist that no one would see coming.
