"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 24 (Week 48)

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. With me are Renee Young and Melissa Santos, the dynamic duo! Girls, AJ Lee was announced as our new General Manager last week and laid down the law right off the bat!"

Renee Young: "That's right, and, as a result, Yuzuki Aikawa is the sole Commissioner after defeating Fuka Kakimoto in a match where that job was on the line. Fuka is now a member of the active roster and appears to have joined 'Joshi Mafia!'"

Melissa Santos: "Speaking of 'Joshi Mafia,' 'Queen Kongs' became the number ones contenders to 'The Bullet Club's' Tag Team Championship, which sets up one heck of a fight!"

Miceli: "We're looking forward to that one, along with all the other intriguing matches that are on the horizon!"

AJ Lee's music hit to bring out the new General Manager.

AJ Lee: "Well, what a difference a week makes! I'm here as your new General Manager, and I'm here to stay! I am not here to play. I'm, here to make a difference. I'm here to change things for the better. I didn't take this job for a paycheck. I didn't take this job to enhance my resume.' I took this job because I love professional wrestling, and NWA: Femme Fatales boasts the best women's wrestling on the planet. When Jordan Richards offered me the position, actually, he created it for me, it was a no-brainer! I had to take it! My husband and I jumped at the chance to come work for Jordan. We want to lead the charge in putting Vince McMahon and his family out to pasture once and for all! Now, onto tonight's episode! In match one, Fuka Kakimoto will wrestle for the first time as an active member of the roster! In our second match, Misaki Ohata will defend the Bantamweight tag team Championship against Makoto, and Hiroyo Mastumoto is banned from ringside! If she shows her face during the match, Ohata forfeits the title! In the main event, The Pirate Princess will take on Mayu Iwatani. Since I kind of liked being handcuffed on Tuesday, I'm going to mandate that Manami Toyota be locked up with Yuki Miyazaki! Now, let's get it going!"

Match One ~ Fuka Kakimoto with "The Boss" Manami Toyota vs. Hiromi Mimura

This was an interesting match, because Mimura was trained, in part, by Fuka. These two worked together in Wonder World of Stardom, where Kakimoto was an Assistant Trainer after retiring from active competition. Hiromi came through the Stardom training program. This gave Fuka a leg up, as she pretty much knew the ins and outs of Mimura's arsenal. Mimura was a game challenger, but Fuka's experience and knowledge of Mimura's style porved to be the difference. Fuka ended it with an "F Crash."

Winner = Fuka Kakimoto by pinfall in 5:21

Fuka grabbed a microphone after the victory.

Fuka Kakimoto: "AJ Lee, Yuzuki Aikawa, I'll have my revenge on you both! Mark my words! I have 'The Boss' and 'Joshi Mafia' in my corner now, so I will not be taken advantage of again! I'm coming for you! I will prove Aikawa is in 'The Bullet Club!' 'Joshi Mafia' will run Femme Fatales before we are done! Our mission remains the same!"

Miceli: "Bitter much?"

Young: "You can say that again!"

Santos: "Fuka is as fired up as I've ever seen her!"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll be right back with the Bantamweight Championship match! Stick around!"

Miceli: "We're back and Makoto is already in the ring, looking for a fight!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Championship ~ Misaki Ohata vs. Makoto

Makoto lit into Ohata, beating her from pillar to post. Ohata ran for her life for most of the match. She did mount some offense for a few minutes. For the most part, Makoto controlled the pace and the action. Ohata went for a "Flying Body Press" off the top rope, but Makoto folded her in half with a scintillating "Arabesque" for the win.

Winner and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Champion = Makoto by pinfall in 15:37

Miceli: "Makoto did it! This time, she gets to keep the belt! She's the champ again!"

Young: "Makoto has become the first two-time Bantamweight Champion ever!"

Santos: "History has just been made on this program!"

Makoto celebrated with fans at ringside as Ohata recovered in the ring. Hiroyo Matsumoto joined her friend and screamed at Makoto, who continued to bask in the adoration of the crowd.

Miceli: "What a night so far! We'll have the big main event when we return!"

Miceli: "Fans, we've waited for this match all night. the woman many believe to be the suspended Kairi Hojo in disguise takes on a member of 'Joshi Mafia' in the dangerous Mayu Iwatani!"

Match Three ~ Manami Toyota and Yuki Miyazaki handcuffed together ~ The Pirate Princess vs. Mayu Iwatani

This was a fantastic match-up, one of the best technical matches we've ever seen on Femme Fatales. Both women went toe-to-toe and hold for hold. Mayu took control midway through and didn't let it go for the rest of the match. She eventually leveled Princess with her devastating "Snap Dragon Suplex," but Hojo was too close to the ropes and draped her arm into them just before the three-count. Mayu was incensed and began to stomp around the ring yelling out. She perched Princess onto the top rope and looked to finish it with a "Hurricanrana," but Princess held, sending Iwatani crashing to the canvas on the back of her head. Princess then stood up on the ropes and executed a "Flying Elbow Drop" that her friend Kairi Hojo would have been proud of. She collapsed onto Mayu for the pin.

Winner = The Pirate Princess by pinfall in 21:19

"The Bullet Club" stormed the ring and beat up everyone in sight. Stephanie McMahon was directing traffic. "Joshi Mafia" came to ringside to combat them, while Miyazaki and Toyota were still cuffed together and were being lambasted. The locker room emptied at that point and a full-scale riot ensued. AJ Lee and Yuzuki Aikawa came to ringside to control the action.

Lee: "Security! Get out here and separate these groups, now!"

The Security force on hand somewhat controlled the action.

Lee: "Listen up, 'Bullet Club!' Steph, I refuse to let you and your cronies hijack my show! It won't happen again! next week, Black Widow and Mandy Leon will defend those Tag Team Titles against 'Queen Kongs' in an 'Extreme Lumberjill' match! Stephanie, we'll all be out here to make sure your girls don't have a hand in the result! I'll be paying personal attention to you! You think I'm psycho?! I'll show you just how psycho I can be if you try to get involved!"

Miceli: "Wow! It's going down next week!"

Young: "It's on like Donkey Kong!"

Santos: "I don't know if they can wait until next week!"

The brawl continued as Security Officers continued to intervene.

Miceli: "Folks, we're out of time for this week. Tune into TNT again this coming Thursday for more Femme Fatales! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli! Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"

As the episode was going off the air, the camera cut away to backstage, where trainees Noelle Foley and Ariel Toombs were fighting. The two had to be separated by other trainees who were in the building.
