"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 21 (Week 41)

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. With me are my beautiful co-hostesses, Renee Young and Melissa Santos! Ladies, what a live episode we had last week! The wrestling world is still buzzing about the shocking revelation of Mio Shirai's betrayal of 'Joshi Mafia.'"

Renee Young: "Our heads nearly exploded when her mask came off last week! We still don't know what here agenda is, but, today, we hope to find out."

Melissa Santos: "That's right. Mio Shirai has sent in a taped press conference from earlier today that is supposed to explain her actions more clearly. We have not been allowed to preview this press conference yet."

Miceli: "It was a closed door meeting that included Shirai and one of our camerawomen. We'll take a look at that a little later on. Also, congratulations go out to NWA: HAWK's 'Joshi Princesses' of Syuri, Tsukushi, and Rabbit Miu, who captured the Bantamweight Tag Team Championship by defeating 'The Bullet Club' in the tournament finals. They will be here today in their first title defense. Also scheduled is a Television Championship match a couple of other surprises! It's going to be a huge episode, so let's get it started!"

Match One ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Tag Team Championship ~ "Joshi Princesses"--Syuri & Tsukushi with Rabbit Miu vs. "Joshi Mafia"--Mayu Iwatani & Io Shirai with "The Boss" Manami Toyota

This was a huge test for our new champions right off the bat. Iwatani and Shirai's friendship dates back to their days in Stardom, where they were multiple time tag team champions. They took the fight to "Princesses." Io showed no signs of the obvious distress she is in after her sister's betrayal. Iwatani used a wide array of kicks on Tsukushi. Syuri struck back with a barrage of her own. Ultimately, Shirai landed her vaunted "Moonsault" on Tsukushi. Before she could make the pin, Kairi Hojo ran in out of nowhere to attack Shirai. The referee immediately threw out the match.

Winners = no contest in 13:29

The champions grabbed their belts and left ringside as Hojo and Shirai went at it. Kairi got a steel chair and leveled both Shirai and Toyota. They bailed out of the ring as the rest of "Joshi Mafia" made an appearance. Shirai was screaming at Hojo as she was joined in the ring by partner Chelsea Diamond, who also had a steel chair in hand. Hojo grabbed a microphone.

Kairi Hojo: "Io wa, watashi wa anata o nikumimasu! Anata wa watashi kara Joshi Senshuken o nusumimashita! Soshite, anata wa Bantamu-kyū Taggu Senshuken no kikai o nusumimashita! Anata wa jūbun'na naga-sa no tame ni watashinojinsei hisan'nate kimashita! Kono kaisha wa, mohaya watashitachi no ryōhō no tame ni jūbun'na ōki-sade wa arimasen! Watashi wa anata ni chōsen shiai 'Haisha wa Taun Ha' o (Io, I hate you! You stole the Women's Championship from me! Then, you stole an opportunity for the Bantamweight Tag Team Championship! You have made my life miserable for long enough! This company is no longer big enough for both of us! I challenge you to a 'Loser Leaves Town' match)!"

Miceli: "Oh my Lord! She wants Io in a 'Loser Leaves Town' match!"

Young: "Wow!"

Santos: "Seriously?! We've never seen that here!"

Io Shirai could be heard screaming, "Anata o koroshimasu (I will kill you)!"

Awesome Kong took a microphone and spoke on behalf of Shirai.

Awesome Kong: "'The Boss' says we will accept the match, but it must be 'No Holds Barred Street Fight!'"

Hojo: "Anata wa sore o emashita (You got it)!"

Miceli: "Kairi accepted! We're going to have a 'Loser Leaves Town' match between our Women's Champion Io Shirai and Kairi Hojo!"

Young: "When, when, when?! We need to know when this thing is going down!"

Santos: "I don't care when or where, but I'll be there for that one!"

Miceli: "We have to take a break after that bombshell announcement! When we return, 'The Apocalypse' will be in action! Stay with us!"

Miceli: "All right folks. If you're just now joining us, we had a blockbuster announcement before the break. Io Shirai will face Kairi hojo in a 'No Holds Barred Street Fight' with a 'Loser Leaves Town' stipulation added! That is colossal! We will get a date on that as soon as our Commissioners confirm it. Now then, you've seen 'The Apocalypse' destroy some ladies in recent weeks, but now we're ready to see them in a match. Nina (Samuels), take it away!"

Match Two ~ "The Apocalypse"--"Your Soul's Tormentor" MsChif & "Death Machine" Jessicka Havok vs. "Fifutishēdo (Fifty Shades)"--"Mistress" Yinling (manager), Remei Asuka, & Mizuho

Yinling led her charges to the ring, like lambs to the slaughter. They knew they were in for a beating before their opponents even came out. MsChif and Havok stormed the ring and laid the boots to Asuka and Mizuho "Road Warriors" style. It was over before it started.

Winners = "The Apocalypse" by pinfall in 2:11

After the match, Havok grabbed a microphone.

Jessicka Havok: "You think this is carnage?! You ain't seen nothing yet! Our path of destruction has only begun! Now, we introduce the next phase of violence

A dark purple light shined over an otherwise dark studio as this woman made her entrance:

She stalked to the ring with great deliberation. Once she got her jacket off,

she destroyed the two hapless victims that her comrades had just laid waste to. She finally revealed herself as:

"Barbed Wire Beauty" LuFisto! She stood defiantly over the broken bodies of Asuka and Mizuho, as she was flanked by MsChif and Jessicka Havok. They screamed in unison, "Welcome to 'The Apocalypse!'"

Miceli: "Whoa! What an in-ring debut for Havok and MsChif, and what a way to bring LuFisto, into the mix! These girls are gonna tear some broads apart!"

Young: "I believe just what they said--this is only the beginning."

Santos: "They are going to completely change Femme Fatales as we know it."

Match Three ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Television Championship ~ Sexy Flor with Lluvia vs. "Lady Destroyer" Hiroyo Matsumoto with Misaki Ohata

This was a fantastic match in Matsumoto's televised debut (she has worked some Femme Fatales house shows with partner Ohata as "Seven Star Sisters"). She was impressive against Flor, who has been impressive since taking over "Belleza Escondida" and turning them into a villainous outfit. The climax of the match saw the referee (La Maestra) get knocked down. Vanely dropped Ohata on the outside with an attack from behind. She got into the ring and jumped Matsumoto, who had Flor locked in a "Backbreaker Rack." Flor grabbed Matsumoto from behind and held her as vanely climbed to the top rope. She came crashing down with a double "Axe Handle." Matsumoto ducked at the last second, sending Vanely's fists square into the head of Sexy Flor. Matsumoto "Dropkicked" Vanely out of the ring, then scooped Flor up for a "Backdrop Driver" as Referee La Maestra recovered and made the count.

Winner and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Television Champion ~ Hiroyo Matsumoto by pinfall in 11:38

After the match, Vanely apologized profusely to Flor. Flor then grabbed a microphone.

Sexy Flor: "Vanely, le dio la oportunidad de ser grande, pero hemos fallado! Bye bye, perra (Vanely, we gave you a chance to be great, but you have failed! Bye bye, b****)!"

"Belleza Escondida" hit the ring and beat Vanely unmercifully, until the newest Femme Fatales signee, La Hiedra, made the save.

Flor and company scattered, but remained at ringside, as Hiedra helped Vanely to her feet. She then nailed a "Super Kick" to Vanely's jaw that knocked her unconscious. La Hiedra was joined by "Belleza Escondida" in the ring.

Flor: "Demos la bienvenida a la sustitución de Vanely, La Hiedra! Chicas, vamos a echar un vistazo a la basura (Please welcome Vanely's replacement, La Hiedra! Girls, let's take out the garbage)!"

With that, Shani and La Hiedra loaded Vanely onto their shoulders and took her to the back, where cameras followed. They dumped her outside the studio onto a sidewalk. Sexy Flor could be heard saying, "Volver a donde vienes, Vanely! Usted es inútil para nosotros (Go back to where you came from, Vanely! You are useless to us)!"

Miceli: "How many more surprises can we possibly see here today?!"

Young: "What a program so far, right?!"

Santos: "This episode has been one for the books!"

Miceli: "We'll be back with that exclusive press conference from Mio Shirai!"

Miceli: "Fans, we told you that, earlier today, Mio Shirai had one of our camerawomen film a private press conference. We have not seen footage of this yet. We take you to that press conference right now."

The scene opened to Mio Shirai surrounded by an all black background. "Bullet Club" symbols could be seen behind her.

Mio Shirai: "Watashi wa 'Joshi Mafia' nokotte iruto watashi ga sanka shite iru koto o kakunin suru tame ni, kono kisha kaiken o hoji shite imasu 'Buretto Kurabu.' Nan'nen mo no ma, watashi wa watashi no imōto no sansei de haikei ni pusshu sa rete imasu. Watashitachi ga sanka suruto 'Joshi Mafia' o, yakusoku wa byōdōna taigūdeshita. Kore wa, kēsude wa nakattadesu. Watashi wa futatabi Io ni kōbu zaseki o totte imasu. Watashi wa, mohaya darenimo kōbu zaseki o toru koto o kyohi shimasu. Watakushiha no 'Shimo Bosu' to shite no chii ukeirete iru 'Buretto Kurabu.' Fale Shimitaitoko wa Shō Taimu yunitto o tantō shite iru ma, watashi wa, Femu Fatales yunitto o tantō shite imasu. 'Buretto Kurabu' wa, shōrai-teki ni puroresu no tame no hyōjun o settei shimasu. Wareware wa, wareware ga okonau toki, watashi wa michi o (I am holding this press conference to confirm that I have left 'Joshi Mafia' and I have joined 'The Bullet Club.' For years, I have been pushed to the background in favor of my younger sister. When we joined 'Joshi Mafia,' the promise was equal treatment. This has not been the case. I have once again taken a back seat to Io. I refuse to take a back seat to anyone any longer. I have accepted the position as 'Under Boss' in 'The Bullet Club.' I am in charge of the Femme Fatales unit, while Bad Luck Fale is in charge of the Show Time unit. 'The Bullet Club' will set the standard for pro wrestling in the future. We will take over, and, when we do, I will be leading the way)."

This was the last image of Mio Shirai before the scene faded to black:

Miceli: "I am shocked and perplexed. I don't know what to say. This whole thing happened over a sibling rivalry."

Young: "It's unbelievable. I never thought I'd see the day where Io and Mio went their separate ways."

Santos: "The question is, how will Io respond to this revelation?"

Miceli: "That remains to be seen. Fans, we are rapidly running out of time. Please join us again next Thursday on TNT for more Femme Fatales! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli! Keep on..."

Just then, some unfamiliar music blared over the PA system. The studio audience and the commentators understandably were confused. Then, this young lady came out of the entrance:

The episode went off the air with her standing defiantly in the entrance way, looking over the crowd and nodding.
