"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 25 (Week 50)

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. They represent the most beautiful broadcast team in sports today! Ladies, we have a phenomenal episode on tap this week!"

Renee Young: "Yes, we do! It's going to be a massive hour of action!"

Melissa Santos: "The summer continues to heat up in the 'Queen City,' and so does the action!"

Just then, AJ Lee's music hit to bring out the General Manager and Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa.

AJ Lee: "Well, well, well. Charlotte, NC. How are y'all doing?! We have a huge episode lined up this evening, so we won't take up much time. We'd like Makoto to come out here, please."

Makoto made her entrance to a big ovation. She was carrying the Bantamweight Championship over one shoulder and the Femme Fatales Television Championship over the other.

Lee: "I'll turn it over to our esteemed Commissioner at this time."

Yuzuki Aikawa: "First of all, congratulations on winning the Bantamweight and Television Championships one week apart! What an impressive feat! However, as you know, Makoto, our policy dictates that no single wrestler may hold more than one title at once. For the sake of parity and opportunity, we must ask that you forfeit one of your championships."

After a long pause, Makoto gave her response.

Makoto: "I knew this was coming. I give up the Television Title. I want to represent the Bantamweight division."

Aikawa: "Very well. General Manager Lee and I had arranged two separate matches for tonight, depending upon Makoto's decision. The Femme Fatales Television Championship will be decided in an 'Elimination' match. All former champions will be involved with three wildcard entrants. That match will happen next!"

Miceli: "Oh my! What an announcement! An 'Elimination' match to start the program, and it's next!"

The participants began to file into the ring one by one. The wildcard entrants were:

Match One ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Television Championship ~ "Elimination" match ~ Yumi Ohka vs. Sexy Flor vs. Hiroyo Matsumoto vs. Becky Lynch with Stephanie McMahon and Yellow Barbie vs. Paige vs. Alexa Bliss ("Bullet Club" Referee Summer Rae was not allowed to participate in this match, since it was for a vacant championship)

This was a fantastic match, for the most part. Ohka was the first entrant eliminated, after "Best Friends" came to ringside and distracted her, which allowed. Flor to nail her with the "Reverse Hurricanrana." They laughed from ringside until Yuki Miyazaki charged them with a steel chair. She ran them to the backstage area. Paige used the "PTO" to get Flor out of the match. Bliss and Paige doubled up on Matsumoto, the largest lady in the match. Paige hit the "RamPaige," which was followed up by Bliss' "Sparkle Splash" for the finish. At this point, we were assured of a brand new champion. Paige and Bliss teamed up against "The Bullet Club's" Lynch at first. After a missed strike caused Bliss to inadvertently hit Paige, they went at it. In their skirmish, Lynch seized the opportunity and rolled up Paige with a handful of tights for the controversial pin. Bliss then went after Lynch, taking the fight to her. Becky backpedalled. Alexa had Lynch on the run and should have beaten her, for all intents and practical purposes. Bliss barreled at Becky, who moved slightly. The collision sent them both crashing into the referee (Chiharu). Bliss eventually hit the "Sparkle Splash" once again, but Referee Chiharu was still rousing herself. Stephanie McMahon took the opportunity to nail Bliss on the back of the head with the heel of her shoe, knocking Alexa unconscious. Lynch then applied "Dis-Arm Her" to a lifeless Bliss. The referee checked on Bliss, who was unresponsive, and called for the bell.

Winner and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Television Champion = Becky Lynch by referee stoppage in a total match time of 23:26

Lynch celebrated with McMahon and Yellow Barbie, as the rest of "The Bullet Club" entered the ring.

Miceli: "The last thing we needed was for 'The Bullet Club' to add another title to their camp!"

Young: "This makes it even more difficult to put an end to their reign of terror!"

Santos: "They use the numbers game so effectively. It's almost impossible to stop them!"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll be back in a moment."

Miceli: "We're back. Well, our next match-up should be a huge, heavy-hitting affair. It's for the Ladies Night Ultra Championship, which is usually defended on the internet, but a special challenge was issued and answered. However, this will be a six-woman match, with the cup on the line. Let's go to it!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Ladies Night Ultra Tag Team Championship ~ "The Apocalypse"--"Your Soul's Tormentor" MsChif, "Death Machine" Jessicka Havok, & "Barbed Wire Beauty" LuFisto vs. "Malietoas"--Sarona Snuka, Savelina, and Lei'D Tapa

This was a slobberknocker before the bell, and it disintegrated from there. The referee (La Maestra) never gained control of the match, which included all six participants from the get-go. Referee La Maestra eventually called for the bell, after she had been shoved down three separate times.

Winners = double disqualification in 5:38 ("The Apocalypse" retains the championship)

Miceli: "What a fight! It was fun while it lasted!"

Young: "This feud has begun to pick up steam since the battle royal a few weeks back!"

Santos: "These ladies are all fierce. They will stop at nothing to tear each other limb from limb!"

Miceli: "All right, fans. We need to go to comer..."

"The Bullet Club" reemerged in full effect. Stephanie McMahon had a microphone.

Stephanie McMahon: "The celebration train keeps rolling down the tracks! We just added yet another championship to the fold. Great job on a hard-earned victory tonight, Becky! 'The Under Boss' Mio has the Women's Championship secured. Black Widow and Mandy Leon have locked down the Tag Team Championship. We just keep on winning and winning. We cannot and we will not be stopped. 'The Bullet Club' will take over!"

AJ Lee's music hit once again to a huge ovation.

Lee: "Steph, not only will you and your cronies not take over, you won't even survive this war! And, speaking of the Tag Team Champions there, they are coming up on nearly thirty days without a title defense. So, I am making a mandatory title defense for them, right here and right now!"

McMahon: "What?! You would try to strong-arm me, wouldn't you AJ?! I shouldn't be surprised. You tried it a million times over the years! So, who are you forcing us to wrestle?! Or, is it s surprise?! It doesn't matter, because we'll keep these belts in 'The Bullet Club!' I guarantee it!"

Lee: "It's funny you should say that, because I guarantee it too! Because, 'The Bullet Club' will be defending the titles against...'The Bullet Club!' Stephanie, you may pick any two of your girls to take on Widow and Leon. We don't have all day, so hurry up!"

McMahon: "You'd better be careful backing me into a corner like this, AJ! You'll be sorry one day! By the way, as per her contract, Summer Rae WILL referee this match!"

McMahon conferred with "Under Boss" Mio Shirai for a few moments.

Lee: "Let's go, Stephanie!"

McMahon: "All right, all right! We have decided that Black Widow and Mandy Leon will defend against 'Best Friends!'"

Widow and Leon looked concerned, while 'Best Friends' looked surprised. McMahon and Shirai spoke directly with the champions out of microphone range. McMahon performed the universal finger rub symbol to indicate money. Widow and Leon smiled and nodded their approval.

Match Three ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Tag team Championship ~ "The Bullet Club"--Black Widow & "Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon with Stephanie McMahon, "Under Boss" Mio Shirai, and Yellow Barbie vs. "Best Friends"--Tsukasa Fujimoto & Arisa Nakajima with Stephanie McMahon, "Under Boss" Mio Shirai, and Yellow Barbie (Referee Summer Rae)

This match ended up being no match at all. Summer Rae rang the bell and Black Widow laid down in the middle of the ring. Arisa Nakajima, who was in the ring with her, looked on confused. Widow beckoned Nakajima to cover, which she did. Referee Summer Rae made the deliberate three count.

Winners and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Tag Team Champions = "Best Friends" by pinfall in 0:38

Black Widow jumped up and congratulated the new champions, raising their hands. She and Leon placed the Tag Team Championships around their waists.

McMahon: "The best pure tag team in this company deserves to be champions! Congratulations to 'Best Friends!' I guess money talks, right Lisa (Black Widow)?!"

Everyone began to laugh as the celebration continued. AJ Lee came back out to confront "The Bullet Club."

Lee: "I had a feeling you'd pull a stunt like that, Steph. So, I have taken the liberty of booking the champions in their first title defense. It will be against the number one contenders, 'Queen Kongs!'"

McMahon: "Go ahead and book your little match, AJ! We'll be ready for those two, just like we'll be ready for any team you put against us! We'll see you next week!"

Lee: "Who said anything about next week?! That match happens right now! And Senior Official Carly Rae is the second referee! So, at least one 'Rae' out here will be doing her job!"

Miceli: "I'm losing my mind! The hits keep right on coming!"

Match Four ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Tag Team Championship ~ "Best Friends"--Tsukasa Fujimoto & Arisa Nakajima with Stephanie McMahon, "Under Boss" Mio Shirai, and Yellow Barbie vs. "Queen Kongs"--Aja & Awesome Kong with "The Boss" Manami Toyota

The Kongs came roaring out to the ring, taking out "Best Friends," then landing "Double Spinning Backfists" to Referee Summer Rae's skull before the bell had rung. Referee Carly Rae hopped into the ring and rang the bell. Immediately, Awesome Kong nailed an "Implant Buster" on Fujimoto. Aja followed up with a "Big Splash." Referee Rae counted the three.

Winners and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Tag Team Champions = "Queen Kongs" by pinfall in 0:56

Miceli: "Oh my Lord! We've got two new champions five minutes apart!"

Young: "What a whirlwind of action on this episode!"

Santos: "This has to be the best wrestling program on TV!"

"Queen Kongs" stood tall with the titles in hand. The crowd, usually loathing "Joshi Mafia," roared in approval. Stephanie McMahon and Mio Shirai raged at ringside. General Manager AJ Lee laughed hysterically at their ranting.

Miceli: "Fans, what an hour! We're 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 rockin' and rollin'!"
