"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 27 (Week 53)

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. With me are my partners in crime, Renee Young and Melissa Santos! Ladies, we had a phenomenal one year anniversary program last week, but what fans may not know is that the program was taped the previous week and featured our General Manager AJ Lee. As the world now knows, the entire 'Richards Collective,' AJ included, was kidnapped by 'The Bullet Club' and held hostage for over a week. This occurred after the taping, hence why AJ appeared. By the time anyone realized they had been abducted, it was too late to reverse course, so the episode had to air as recorded."

Renee Young: "This is quite a volatile situation that became frighteningly personal. As many bounds as 'The Bullet Club' has stepped over in recent months, this was by far the most heinous!"

Melissa Santos: "I can promise this. 'The Bullet Club' is going to have heck to pay before it's all said and done!"

Miceli: "Fans, we have a great program planned, as always. Let's take it to our ring announcer Jessica Rose!"

Just then, AJ Lee's music hit to bring a seething GM, with a visible black eye.

AJ Lee: "I know we had our first match scheduled right now, but this can't wait. What began as a business takeover attempt has become a personal vendetta against a group my husband and I are a part of in NWA: Show Time. Please excuse me, I'm trying my best to maintain some composure right now so that I can get this out. As you all know, 'The Richards Collective' was taken by 'The Bullet Club' and held against our will in a cabin somewhere in the mountains of North Carolina for eight days. We were not fed, were barely given any water, and were treated to daily beatings, as evidenced by this shiner I'm wearing right now. When we were located and freed by the police, 'The Bullet Club' was nowhere to be found. Rather than have the police go arrest them at the Show Time Power Hour TV taping that we knew they'd be at, we opted not to press charges. Instead, we decided to take a pound of flesh from 'The Bullet Club' personally. They must pay for their many sins! And pay, they will! And, it starts tonight on this program! The person who took the greatest pleasure in beating me up was Black Widow! Well honey, I'm calling you out!"

"The Bullet Club's" music hit to bring out the entire group, with Stephanie McMahon en tow. Stephanie had a microphone, which she handed over to Black Widow, who was laughing hysterically.

Black Widow: "What's the matter, AJ? Did you get your little feelings hurt?!"

Lee: "Cut the crap, Lisa! You are going to pay for what you did to me, my husband, and our friends!"

Widow: "Is that so?! So far, we've taken over NWA: Show Time and we've pretty much taken over NWA: Femme Fatales. I don't see anyone stopping us yet, least of all you! Do you think we're intimidated by the fact that you're a GM?! Don't you get it?! We don't give a crap about authority!"

Lee: "Good! I'm glad you're not intimidated! You don't have to be intimidated to go home with a tail-whipping! In fact, that is exactly what you're in store for tonight! But, I'm not going to watch this colossal beat down from afar. Oh no! I need to feel it for myself. So, Black Widow, you're going to be in the main event tonight! That's right! You are going one-on-one with my happy a--! And, yours is gonna get kicked! Just to make sure your little buddies don't get involved, I've enlisted the help of some of my close, personal friends to guard the entrance..."

CM Punk's music hit to a roar as "The Richards Collective" appeared in full effect, with CEO Jordan Richards included. They all were wearing their wrestling gear and had aluminum baseball bats with "The Bullet Club" emblem emblazoned on each one. AJ handed the mic over to CEO Jordan Richards.

Jordan Richards: "Now, I know that the guys don't make a habit of showing up on Femme Fatales television, but we thought we'd make an exception just this once. Steph, Mio, and any of you ladies who think you're going to get involved in this main event, go ahead and give it a try. None of us advocate hitting a woman, so we won't lay a hand on any of you. However, I can't promise that these bats won't reach out and touch someone! Plus, Evie (Eve Torres) here is equipped with a slugger of her own and she's not afraid to use it!"

Miceli: "Oh my Lord! This just got real in a hurry!"

Young: "I can't wait for that main event!"

Santos: "Set your DVR's folks, you're going to want this one for posterity's sake!"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll be back with our first match-up in just a moment!"

Miceli: "We're back! Let's go to the ring!"

Match One ~ "The Glampires"--Paige & Tracy Wayne vs. "International Bad Girls Club"--Maya Yukihi & Apple Miyuki with Brooke Adams and Tenille Averil

This was a highly competitive match throughout. Both teams imposed their will for portions of time. "The Glampires" had the upper hand until a blonde bombshell walked out to the ring.

Paige's attention immediately was drawn to her. Paige began to glare at the unidentified blonde. She no longer could concentrate on the match. Tracy Wayne was shouting at her partner from the apron to get her head back into it, to no avail. Paige was caught with a "Schoolgirl Roll" by Yukihi before Wayne could make the save.

Winners = "International Bad Girls Club" by pinfall in 8:24

Paige was still stunned in center ring as Wayne kept asking her what the problem was. "IBGC" surrounded Wayne and began to beat her down. Paige was locked into a stare down with the unknown blonde, who took off her sunglasses to reveal herself as Toni Storm, a UK wrestler who came up through the ranks with Paige in England. Storm pointed at Wayne, who was being waylaid in the corner. Paige then inexplicably joined the mugging of her partner. She dropped Tracy with the "RamPaige" before the group finally relented. The crowd rained down with boos as Wayne was left laying. Paige and Storm then hugged in center ring. The rest of the group joined in and all raised each others' hands. As they left the ring, Paige looked back at Wayne, winked, smiled, and laughed as she walked away with "IBGC."

Miceli: "What the heck just happened there?! Toni Storm shows up out of nowhere, then Paige turns on Tracy Wayne! Is Storm even signed to Femme Fatales?!"

Young: "I don't know, but it looks like the 'International bad Girls Club' just grew by one."

Santos: "Well, 'The Glampire' will fit in well with them. She has a mean streak a mile long!"

Miceli: "We'll take a break and get some help for Tracy Wayne. Be back in a moment."

Miceli: "We're back and Chiho Nishimori is standing by with The Pirate Princess and Chelsea Diamond."

Chiho Nishimori: "Chelsea, you returned triumphantly two weeks ago from injury when you and friend Pirate Princess captured the Bantamweight Tag Team Championship. Then, last week, that same championship was stolen by 'The Bullet Club' in a match that saw interference from Io Shirai. What are your thoughts right now?"

Chelsea: "First of all, we're pissed! We barely had time to enjoy winning the titles and they were snatched away from us, just like that! Secondly, we're upset because Io Shirai had no right being anywhere near that match. Even if she hates us, which we hate her too, why help 'The Bullet Club' after her own sister turned on her to join them?! It makes no sense! All we know is this. We will get Io Shirai back. That's for sure! I still owe the rest of 'Joshi Mafia' for nearly breaking my neck! Payback is coming, and it's going to be a b---!"

The Pirate Princess: "I want one-on-one match with Io next week! If she wins, she can have the mask!"

Nishimori: "Well, you heard it here. The Pirate Princess did not need interpretation for that! She has challenged Io Shirai to a match next week, and she'll put her mask on the line!"

Miceli: "That will be very interesting, if Io accepts."

Young: "She'll take the bait! She's been trying to expose The Pirate Princess as Kairi Hojo for two months now!"

Santos: "I agree. We'll see that match next week!"

Miceli: "Let's take it back to Jessica Rose!"

Match Two ~ "Non-Title Grudge" match ~ "New WAVE"--Yumi Ohka & "Sexy Tank" Yuki Miyazaki vs. "Best Friends"--Tsukasa Fujimoto & Arisa Nakajima with Stephanie McMahon, "Under Boss" Mio Shirai, & Yellow Barbie ~ Referees Summer Rae and Renee Michelle

This was a challenge match stemming from "Best Friends" turning on Ohka. Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa signed the match after last week's episode. This was less of a tag team match and more of a free-for-all. All four ladies went at it with ferocity. Ohka and Miyazaki go way back and formed "New WAVE" shortly after Yuki's arrival. The referee never really had full control of the match and tossed it after several minutes of chaos.

Winners = double disqualification in 9:36

The four fought all the way to the back, with officials trying unsuccessfully to separate them.

Miceli: "Now, that was a fight!"

Young: "I'd like to see more of those two teams going round and round!"

Santos: "There's some really hard feelings between those two teams!"

Miceli: "Fans, we have one more commercial break, then we're back for the main event!"

Miceli: "Fans, it's time! Let's get it on!"

Match Three ~ General Manager AJ Lee with "The Richards Collective"--Jordan Richards, "The Beast" Brock Lesnar, The Rock, CM Punk, John Cena, "The Viper" Randy Orton, & Eve Torres vs. Black Widow with Stephanie McMahon, "Under Boss" Mio Shirai, & Yellow Barbie ~ Referees Summer Rae and Senior Official Carly Rae

Initially, AJ mauled Black Widow, who spent much of her time backpedaling and running away from her revenge-minded opponent. Eventually, AJ's weakness from the beating and malnourishment she sustained during her captivity became evident. Widow took over and slowly dissected her smaller foe. Lee would gain one last burst of energy, as she wiggled out of a "Widow's Peak" attempt and turned it into her "Tarantula" submission. Widow tried to drag Lee to the ropes, but AJ cinched back even deeper. Widow fought and fought, but could not break the hold and could not get into the ropes. Referee Summer Rae was imploring her to fight, but Senior Official Carly Rae made sure that she did nothing to interfere. "The Richards Collective" kept "The Bullet Club" at bay. Widow had no choice but to tap out. Referee Carly Rae called for the bell.

Winner =  AJ Lee by submission in 15:18

The crowd was ecstatic as AJ collapsed to the mat. Widow writhed in pain, clutching her shoulder and neck. "The Richards Collective" came into the ring for the celebration.

Miceli: "What a phenomenal outing for AJ Lee!"

Young: "She fought through the pain and fatigue and gutted out a victory!"

Santos: "Inspirational stuff right there! I guess she can cross Black Widow off her hit list!"

Miceli: "Yep! Fans, we're running out of time here today. Please join us next Thursday right here on TNT for more Femme Fatales! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli! Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"
