"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 31 (Week 61)

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. Alongside me are the two finest women to hold a microphone, Renee Young and Melissa Santos! Ladies, we're only three days away from the most important match in the history of the sport. 'Armageddon' will decide the direction wrestling goes in from here on out! To that end, all of the participants in the event have flown down to Rio! We'll be joining them tomorrow! But, today, we've got a great episode lined up that will feature the Bantamweights, and we have a Bantamweight Championship match at the top of the hour!"

Renee Young: "That's right! Makoto will defend against the challenge of Maki Narumiya, who's been in the division since day one, but has never been considered a title threat. She has been racking up some wins on the road and has earned her shot here today!"

Melissa Santos: "Makoto is a proud and defending champion and has dominated the division. She is a strong competitor, but Maki may give her a run for her money!"

Miceli: "I guess we'll see very soon! Let's go to Jessica Rose, who is standing by for the call!"

Match One ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Championship ~ Makoto vs. Maki Narumiya

Narumiya has come into her own lately, going on in impressive win streak on the Femme Fatales live event tour. She was a game competitor, but Makoto dominated the pace of the match and the offense. She had Maki right where she wanted her and set up for the "Arabesque." As she charged, Narumiya dodged Makoto, sending her into the corner shoulder first. Makoto looked to be injured, possibly having separated her left shoulder. Narumiya went in for the kill. She locked in her signature "Sogyan Gaeshi." Makoto screamed in pain, but would not give up. She was trapped in center ring and had nowhere to go. Finally, Makoto stopped struggling and the referee began to check her response. Quickly, the referee called for the bell, stopping the match.

Winner and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Champion = Maki Narumiya by referee stoppage in 12:47

Miceli: "What an upset! Maki Narumiya was dominated throughout the match and, just like that, she's the new champion!"

Young: "This looked like a typical Makoto victory. but, one outstanding defensive move by Maki won her the match and the title!"

Santos: "Maki has worked really hard on the road and put herself in position to be on this stage. It only takes one opportunity and she made the most of hers!"

As officials assisted Makoto out of the ring and back to the locker room, Sumire Natsu appeared on the ring entrance ramp.

Sumire Natsu: "Ā Maki, shiai-chū ni kega o shita hito kara beruto o jushō omedetōgozaimasu. Anata wa totemo hokori ni suru hitsuyō ga arimasu! Dakara, anata wa ima no chanpiondesu. Mondai wa, chanpion wa fan ga mitai, dareka ga aru to iu kotodesu. Dare ga terebide jibun no minikui kao o mitaku arimasen! Fan wa karera no chanpion to shite watashi no yōna dareka no utsukushiku, sekushī ni ataishimasu! Anata wa jūbunde wa arimasen! Anata wa minikui to orokadesu! Sumire Natsu wa chanpion ni naru ni ataishimasu (Oh Maki, congratulations on winning the belt from someone who got hurt during the match. You must be so proud! So, you are the champion now. The problem is that a champion is someone who the fans want to see. No one wants to see your ugly face on television! The fans deserve someone beautiful and sexy like me as their champion! You are not good enough! You are ugly and stupid! Sumire Natsu deserves to be champion)!"

Maki Narumiya: "Dakara, watashi wa minikui hitoridesuga, anata wa anata no fuku ga amarini mo taitona michi sagashi to shibō ushi no yō ni koko ni dete kimasu! Anata wa, watashi ga?! Suru yori mo, anata ga yori yoi chanpionda to omoimasu shōmei shite kudasai! Watashi wa anata ni taishite kon'ya no beruto o setchi shimasu  (So, I am the ugly one, but you come out here like a fat cow with your outfit looking way too tight! You think you would be a better champion than I would?! Prove it! I'll put the belt up against you tonight)!"

Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa came out to settle the dispute.

Yuzuki Aikawa: "Redīsu, jūbun'na! Anata wa kon'ya koko ni Sumire ni taishite taitoru o bōei shitai baai Maki wa, node, sore o suru koto! Anata 2 wa,-go ni watashitachi no mein ibento de sore de iku koto ga dekimasu (Ladies, enough! Maki, if you want to defend the title against Sumire here tonight, so be it! You two can go at it in our main event later on)! Fans, Maki Narumiya will defend the Bantamweight Championship against Sumire Natsu in our main event here tonight!"

Miceli: "I caught most of that little spat there! Sumire said that Maki was too ugly to be champion and that the division needed someone beautiful and sexy like her to represent it! Maki said that Sumire was a fat cow and her outfit looked too tight and challenged her to a match! You heard Commissioner Aikawa's response! We'll have that match later on! After the break, Laura Cruz will be with us for a word! Stay tuned!"

Miceli: "We're back. let's go to our correspondent, Laura Cruz, right now!"

Laura Cruz: "Hello fans! I'm 'Locker Room Lovely' Laura Cruz, and I have a quick word. We are mere days away from the most pivotal night in the history of our grand sport! AT 'Fall Brawl to End it All,' the 'Armageddon' match will take place. The torturous structure that will house this match has been constructed and is ready to be put into place inside Estadio de Maracana in Rio. The wrestling world is talking about it. From every corner of the world, media outlets have picked up the story concerning the winner-takes-all match that will decide the fate of the McMahon family specifically, and pro wrestling in general. NWA Board of Governors Chairman Jordan Richards has taken every precaution to ensure that there is a decisive winner in this match. He has contracted an off-duty force from the Brazilian Police to provide Security for the event, along with the combined Security forces of NWA: Show Time and NWA: Femme Fatales. All told, there will be over fifty armed Police Officers and nearly two hundred total armed Security personnel in and around the stadium on Sunday. The media contingent present will be the largest for a pro wrestling event ever recorded. There are nearly one thousand who have petitioned for media credentials. My sources tell me that many pro wrestling legends will be on hand. We know that the "Legends of the Squared Circle" consulting group will be there, along with a battery of other interested onlookers. The event sold out the same day tickets went on sale. Fans will be coming from 120 countries around the world to attend this event. Estadio de Maracana has jammed an extra two thousand seats onto the floor level and everywhere else they can fit them. Over eighty thousand people will be on hand inside the stadium. There will be a closed circuit location adjacent to the area that can accommodate as many as 150,000 in overflow, as the demand for tickets simply could not be met inside the facility. This event could break the all-time paid attendance record set at last year's Starrcade, which was held in two locations. The event is expected to shatter pay-per-view buyrate records as well. This may go down in history as the single most watched event in sports history, as Brazilian television network Rede Globo, the second largest network in the world, will air the event live after paying an undisclosed fee to the NWA for the rights to do so. No one has released a concrete number, but rumors are rampant that the network has paid several million dollars to air 'Fall Brawl to End it All,' which would still make the network money because of all the sponsorship dollars generated by the worldwide scope this event carries. By the way, Rede Globo delivers programming to more than one hundred eighty-three million Brazilians. Believe me when I tell you that the world will be watching on Sunday at seven PM, Eastern Standard Time, eight PM Rio time. Fans, if you have not yet ordered the broadcast on pay-per-view, you'd better do so while you still have the chance! I suspect that cable and satellite companies may be quite busy taking calls on Sunday! That's all the time I have for today. I'm 'Locker Room Lovely' Laura Cruz, and that's the scoop!"

Miceli: "We knew this event would be huge, but I had no idea!"

Young: "The potential for one hundred eighty million people to see this for free blows my mind!"

Santos: "This will be a huge event in the Latin American/South American communities! They love their lucha libre and this will be the lucha to end all luchas!"

Miceli: "I can't wait! Fans, when we return, we'll go back to the ring! Stick around!"

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

Match Two ~ Three-Way Dance ~ Saori Anou vs. Natsumi Maki vs. Tae Honma

This match began as a house of fire, with each lady putting on her best moves in front of a crowd that ooed and ahhed every bit of it. About three minutes in, Crazy Star came out of nowhere and obliterated all three with a steel chair, then threw them all into the barricade.

Winner = no contest in 3:38

Crazy grabbed a microphone.

Crazy Star: "Quiero que la perra estúpida Anyme a cabo aquí en este momento para una pelea! Usted va a reemplazarme?! Tienes que vencer a mi culo primero (I want that stupid b---- Anyme out here right now for a fight! You are going to replace me?! You have to beat my a-- first)!"

Santos: "Whoa! Crazy Star is hot! I can't repeat what she said, but, needless to say, she has called out Anyme!"

Anyme stormed to the ring and the two went at it, trying to pull each other's hair out as the rolled around on the mat. Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa came out immediately.

Aikawa: "Get a referee out here now! This is an official match! No disqualification!"

Match Three ~ No Disqualification ~ Crazy Star vs. Anyme

Anyme is super strong, having been a bodybuilder for years in addition to her squared circle ventures. She tried to manhandle Crazy Star. Star was so maniacal that she could not be controlled. She wailed on her hated rival as she screamed in delight. Eventually, the rest of "Belleza Escondida" hit the ring and destroyed Star, leaving her an easy victim for the pin.

Winner = Anyme by pinfall in 9:01

After the match, "Belleza Escondida" ripped off Crazy Star's mask and dragged her to the back by her hair, eventually leaving her laying.

Miceli: "What a disrespectful beating handed out to Crazy Star! Her mask was taken and she was paraded around worse than a criminal!"

Young: "'Belleza Escondida' is an evil group. No question about it!"

Santos: "Taking Crazy Star's mask was the ultimate in disrespect! She has been disgraced! And it took a six-on-one beating to make it happen!"

Miceli: "That was brutal. Fans, we have to go to commercial. When we return, Maki Narumiya will defend her newly won Bantamweight Championship against Sumire Natsu!"

Miceli: "Welcome back to Femme Fatales! It's time for our main event! Let's go to the ring!"

Match Four ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Championship ~ Maki Narumiya vs. Sumire Natsu

Maki dominated this bout much like Makoto had with her earlier in the hour. She took out her vengeance on Natsu, who was in defensive mode after the opening onslaught. Sumire managed to get a few minutes of offense in before Narumiya turned the tables once again. The end of this one came very controversially. Narumiya caught Natsu in a "Small Package." The two were close enough to the ropes that Sumire grabbed the bottom one and tugged on it, reversing the maneuver and putting Maki's shoulders to the mat. Natsu held onto the bottom rope for the entire count, keeping Narumiya from being able to kick free. The entire scenario was shield from the referee, who was on the opposite side counting.

Winner and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Champion = Sumire Natsu by pinfall in 15:11

Natsu quickly slid out of the ring and snatched the belt away from the timekeeper. She bounced down the aisle in celebration as Narumiya looked on in utter shock.

Miceli: "Easy come, easy go! I can't believe Maki Narumiya had her moment in the sun and then had it stolen, literally, within the same hour!"

Young: "The referee missed the whole thing! Sumire Natsu used the ropes for leverage, then held on for dear life and took the title!"

Santos: "Maki Narumiya is completely dejected in the ring, as you would imagine. The greatest triumph of her career and it's gone in a flash!"

Miceli: "Fans, that's all the time we have this week. Please join us along with the rest of the world this Sunday for 'Fall Brawl to End it All!" Then, join us right back on TNT next Thursday for more Femme Fatales, as we'll be looking at the fallout from this weekend! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli! Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"

The show concluded with a video package highlighted the NWA vs. "Bullet Club" women's match at "Fall Brawl to End it All." Short interviews with AJ Lee and Stephanie McMahon were shown as well.
