"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 29 (Week 57)

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. Alongside me are the pair of beaties I call my co-hostesses, Renee Young and Melissa Santos! Girls, we've got a good one for the fans this week!"

Renee Young: "Yes we do! General Manager AJ Lee has called Stephanie McMahon out for a one-on-one match here tonight!"

Melissa Santos: "If Steph accepts, this will be the one women's match fans have wanted to see for years! AJ would get to vent her many frustrations against Stephanie without fear of repercussions from the 'Billion-Dollar Princess!'"

Miceli: "We have yet to hear from Stephanie, who must be riding high after that big victory last week, courtesy of her husband's sledgehammer! I guess we'll see as the program unfolds. For now, we'll begin the program with the start of an eight-team tournament to decide the next challengers for the Femme Fatales Tag Team Championship, which will take place over the next couple of weeks! Let's go to the ring!"

Match One ~ Number One Contender's Tournament ~ "Seven Star Sisters"--Misaki Ohata & "Lady Destroyer" Hiroyo Matsumoto vs. "Kunoichi Blade"--"Chimei-tekina Hana (Deadly Flower)" Black Lotus & "Kirā Kabuki (Kabuki Killer)" Sakura

This was a fast-paced, yet brutally stiff affair. Each lady unloaded kick after kick, strike after strike, in an attempt to wear the opposing team down in as a short a time possible, especially since these tourney matches carried a ten-minute time limit. "Kunoichi Blade" looked to have the match in hand after Sakura hit "Yellow Fever" on Ohata. But, Matsumoto took out Black Lotus and broke up the pin. She then nailed Sakura with a "Backdrop Driver" for the win.

Winners = "Seven Star Sisters" by pinfall in 8:14

Miceli: "That was a back-and-forth struggle right there! Great match!"

Young: "Ohata and Matsumoto were rather impressive in holding off the former champions!"

Santos: "After wreaking havoc on the Bantamweight division, it looks like they are going after more game in those tag team championship belts!"

Miceli: "We'll be back next with another first round tournament match! Stay with us!"

Miceli: "We're back! Before we go to the ring, Amanda Rodriguez has Stephanie McMahon in the back. Let's take you to them right now."

Amanda Rodriguez: "I'm here with Stephanie McMahon. Last week, you, your husband Triple H, and your brother Shane defeated our General Manager AJ lee, her husband CM Punk, and his best friend Colt Cabana in a huge match! Now, AJ has called you out for the one-on-one dream match that the wrestling world has been clamoring for years to see. What's your response?"

Stephanie McMahon: "My response? I won last week. Why do I need to get in the ring with that psycho again?!"

Just then, AJ Lee approached behind McMahon. AJ grabbed Stephanie by the back of the head, pulled her in close, and said, "Psycho, huh? I 'll show you how psycho I can be by throwing in a little incentive. If you beat me tonight, I'll give you the GM job."

AJ smiled and skipped off as Stephanie was left dumbfounded. She then began to hype herself up.

McMahon: "AJ, you're on!"

Miceli: "Yes! We're gonna get what we've waited years for, right here tonight! Let's go to the ring with another first-round tournament match!"

Match Two ~ Number One Contender's Tournament ~ Starfire & Mystique vs. "Belleza Escondida (Hidden Beauty)"--Sexy Flor & Shani

This match was a crisp, fast-paced, highflying affair, as you might imagine from a lucha encounter. Starfire and Mystique are dynamite in the ring and have gelled really well since forming a partnership. Flor and Shani attempted some shortcuts, but their counterparts were more than up to the task. The end came as Crazy Star came to the ring to engage in a dispute with Referee La Maestra. While she argued, Starfire dropped Shani with a "Package Piledriver" and covered her for an eternity. Suddenly, "Kunoichi Blade" appeared and destroyed both Starfire and Mystique. "Belleza Escondido" was in stunned silence for several moments. Crazy Star dropped from the apron and backed away as Flor dropped Mystique with her "Reverse Hurricanrana." The pinfall was academic at that point.

Winners = "Belleza Escondida" by pinfall in 7:28

Miceli: "This thing between Starfire, Mystique, and 'Kunoichi Blade' is getting to the boiling point."

Young: "That's two separate attacks in the last couple of weeks. Something has to give!"

Santos: "As you can see in the ring, the Latinas are fuming right now! I can tell you from personal experience, when you get the Latina blood boiling, you'd better watch out!"

Starfire grabbed a microphone.

Starfire: "'Kunoichi Blade!' No descansaremos hasta que tomemos una pieza de colillas de casa con nosotros (We will not rest until we take a piece of your butts home with us)!"

Santos: "Hello! My girl is hot right about now!"

Miceli: "Thanks for the translation, Melissa! I'd say they are pretty ticked off! Let's go to commercial."

Miceli: "Fans, we're back from the break! We have a new segment on our program. 'Locker Room Lovely' Laura Cruz, who used to report on the Show Time Power Hour, has now moved over to NWA: Femme Fatales full-time with a segment called 'Ringside Round-up.' Let's go to that segment now."

Laura Cruz: "Hello! I'm 'Locker Room Lovely' Laura Cruz, and I'm here with the first edition of 'Ringside Round-up' at my new digs, NWA: Femme Fatales! I'm so excited to be here! So, as you fans already know, tomorrow night will see the next installment of the popular Femme Fatales 'Ladies Night' internet exclusive events. We know that the format for this event has changed from the standard Ladies Night Ultra Championship chase and will crown a new NWA: Femme Fatales Heavyweight Champion. The rumor mill is running rampant as to who will take part in this one-night tourney! There are several ladies who meet the 145-pound weight minimum for this division. Rumor has it that a couple of legends have even thrown their names into the mix. I have it on good authority that our hostess, Madusa Miceli, was serious when she made comments recently about getting back into the ring just for this championship opportunity. She's not alone in that sentiment. The members of all-time great tag team 'Double Inoue' have tossed around the idea as well. Kyoko weighs around 200 pounds, so she is firmly planted into the heavyweight division. Takako tips the scales at 140 pounds, but has indicated that she would not be opposed to adding an additional five pounds to make weight for a tournament run. Speculation has been off the charts around the locker room since the announcement of the title and tournament were made. GM AJ Lee and Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa have been very tight-lipped about the names of anyone entered into the tournament. I've heard as many as twelve ladies are signed, which would mean some byes would have to be thrown in to make the brackets even out. All I can say is that you fans need to go www.nwafemmefatales.com and order this once-in-a-lifetime event right now. At only $5.99, it's a steal! Remember, that's tomorrow night, Friday, August 26, beginning at 7 PM Eastern Standard Time, only on nwafemmefatales.com! That's all for now! I'm 'Locker Room Lovely' Laura Cruz, and that's the scoop!"

Young: "Well now, have you been holding out on us, Madame Miceli?"

Santos: "Yes. Do tell!"

Miceli: "I have no idea what she's talking about..."

Young: "Yeah, right! Okay, sister! If that's how you want to play it."

Miceli: "The only thing that I can say is that this tournament should be epic, so everyone needs to tune into 'Ladies Night!'"

Santos: "We'll all be there! You know it!"

Miceli: "Folks, it's time for this blockbuster main event! Jessica Rose is in the ring! Let's go to her now!"

Match Three ~ Stephanie McMahon with 'The Bullet Club' vs. General Manager AJ Lee with Eve Torres and Carmella ~ Special Referees Summer Rae & Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa

While Stephanie McMahon can't come close to matching AJ Lee's prowess inside the ring, she certainly is no pushover. After all, she has learned the craft well from her husband, who was known as "The Cerebral Assassin" during his in-ring career. Stephanie also had the height, weight, and strength advantage in this match, making it much more even than fans would have initially anticipated. Still, AJ did get the chance to wail on her hated rival for a long portion of the match. "The Bullet Club" took potshots during the match, when afforded the opportunity by referee and "Bullet Club" sympathizer Summer Rae. Commissioner Aikawa did an admirable job keeping things as "down the middle" as possible. Torres and Carmella did their part to cull as much interference as they could, though vastly outnumbered. Eventually, they were joined by "Candy Crush" and "New Wave," effectively making this match a "Lumber Jill" encounter. Stephanie worked over AJ's arm in an obvious attempt to weaken her potential use of the "Tarantula" finisher. The ploy worked. AJ did lock in the maneuver and Steph writhed in agony, but she began to bang against AJ's injured limb and loosened her grip enough to break the painful hold. McMahon hit a "Pedigree" that garnered a 2.9 count. She went ballistic because Aikawa did not complete the three-count. Stephanie berated Aikawa, which gave Lee time to recuperate. She snuck up behind Stephanie and locked the "Tarantula" in again. "Under Boss" Mio Shirai jumped up onto the apron. AJ let go of the hold and went after her. McMahon dumped AJ over the top rope and "The Bullet Club" immediately attacked her. The Femme Fatales contingent joined in the fray and the entire scene became a melee. Aikawa called for the bell and threw the match out.

Winner = no contest in 15:01

Summer Rae hopped into the ring and began to argue with her, saying she should have let the action go. Referee Rae took a swing at Commissioner Aikawa, who blocked the attempt and leveled Rae with a thunderous slap across the face that floored her. The crowd ate that one up.

Miceli: "Get you some, Yuzuki!"

Young: "Now, that was nice to see!"

Santos: "I've been waiting for someone to shut Summer Rae up!"

The action continued to break down until "Joshi Mafia" made a surprise appearance and cleaned house of "The Bullet Club." For the second week in a row, Io ended up shaking hands with Kairi Hojo as it seems a new alliance may be forming. AJ Lee grabbed a microphone.

AJ Lee: "Stephanie, enough is enough! I'm tired of all this gang warfare bull crap! This was supposed to be a one-on-one match, and your people can't leave well enough alone! If you want to get all of your women involved at one time, we'll do it! In fact, I'm making a match right now! The world already knows that it's winner-takes-all in September! Well, that match only involves men! I need to get one more crack at kicking your a--! So, here's what we're going to do! You get every woman in 'The Bullet Club!' I mean, all of them! Call up Sasha Banks and any women from any territory that are on your payroll currently! Bring them all to Rio and we'll have ourselves a multi-woman tag team match! No disqualification, no countout, one fall to a finish! For every promotion "The Bullet Club" represents, that promotion gets to send an equal number of NWA women, just like the men's match! If they can have a final battle, we can too! And, I'm gonna start picking our team next week!"

Stephanie McMahon could be heard shouting, "Bring it on, b----!" from the floor.

Miceli: "Doggone right the women can fight it out just like the men! It's on like 'Donkey Kong!'"

Young: "'Fall Brawl to End it All' is going to be off the charts!"

Santos: "The Olympics won't have anything on the NWA when this event comes to town! It could be the most significant pay-per-view in pro wrestling history!"

Miceli: "It's going down in one month! But, tomorrow night, we're crowning a brand new NWA: Femme Fatales Heavyweight Champion, only on the Femme Fatales website! Fans, you can't miss it! Go to www.nwafemmefatales.com right now to order 'Ladies Night' for only $5.99! We're out of time for this week. 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'!"
