"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 39 (Week 78)

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. With me are my chicas, Renee Young and Melissa Santos! Ladies, we've got a huge six-woman tag team match in our main event tonight!"

Renee Young: "That's right! The newly reformed 'Dollhouse' will take on Kairi Hojo, Yoko Bito, and a partner of their choosing, who has yet to be named. It's going to be a classic fight!"

Melissa Santos: "'The Dollhouse' shocked us all at the end of the program last week by attacking Kairi Hojo after a successful World Title defense. What shocked us the most is that Mandy Leon and Santana Garrett were joined by former partner Brooke Adams, who told the world after the beat down, 'The band is back together!'"

Miceli: "That one is going to be awesome! Also on the program tonight, the Bantamweights are featured, as both division championships will be up for grabs! In fact, our first match is for the Bantamweight Tag Team Titles right now! Let's go to the ring!"

Match One ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Tag Team Championship ~ Starfire & Mystique vs. "Happy Maker" Aoi Kizuki & Korahu Hinata

This was a fairly one-sided match. The champions overwhelmed their opponents, for the most part. Kizuki, who was the tallest and heaviest competitor in the match, more than held her own in the ring. Her partner, Hinata, was the smallest. She struggled to keep up the pace against the lucha stars. The frustration Kizuki felt at this was palpable and obvious. Mystique nailed a "Savate Kick" on Hinata that set her up fro Starfire's "Package Piledriver" for the finish.

Winners and STILL NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Tag Team Champions = Starfire & Mystique by pinfall in 7:47

Miceli: "That one was never even close! The champions were dominant!"

Young: "Very impressive outing for Mystique and Starfire!"

Santos: "My luchadora sisters were on their game tonight!"

After the match, Kizuki laid waste to Hinata, beating her down without mercy. She left to a bevy of boos.

Miceli: "Wow! Aoi Kizuki was obviously annoyed at Korahu Hinata the entire match. That pairing was doomed from the start! Fans, we have to take a break. More Femme Fatales in just a moment!"

Miceli: "We're back, and just in time! We're hearing that there's a disturbance backstage. We've dispatched a cameraman to check it out!"

The scene cut to the backstage area, where Hikaru Shida was brawling with ACT Yasukawa. Officials broke up the fight and separated the two ladies. Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa came in and made the following declaration: "That's enough! Next week, you two will fight in a steel cage for the TV Championship! One fall to a finish!"

ACT was heard screaming, "Sono beruto wa watashi no monodesu (That belt will be mine)!"

Shida shouted in return, "Watashi wa kono beruto o ataeru mae ni watashi wa shinudeshou (I will die before I give this belt up)!"

Miceli: "Good Lord! Those two have been at it for weeks and weeks now! Ever since ACT Yasukawa left 'Joshi Mafia' to form 'Oedo Tai,' she and Shida have been at each other's throats!"

Young: "I think it's not even about the Television Championship anymore. I think they just want each other's blood!"

Santos: "It's a blood feud, all right! Someone may get hurt next week!"

Miceli: "Let's go back to the ring for the Bantamweight Championship match!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Championship ~ Sumire Natsu with Kaho Kobayashi vs. Maki Natsumi

Natsumi was a ball of fire from the opening bell. She really took it to the champion. In fact, Maki hit a "Missile Dropkick" right to Natsu's chin that nearly knocked her unconscious. Before she could make the pin cover, Makoto came out and attacked both champion and challenger, then engaged in a brief battle with Kaho Kobayashi. The referee called for the bell, having thrown the match out.

Winner = no contest in 7:12 (Natsu retains)

Immediately after the bell, Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa came to ringside.

Yuzuki Aikawa: "This is not acceptable! Makoto, if you interfere in another title match, you will be fined and suspended! Next week, you will fight Kaho Kobayashi! If you win, you will go on to challenge for the Bantamweight Championship the same day. As for this match, it will be immediately restarted and Makoto will be escorted to the back by Security!"

Natsu was livid. Maki took the opportunity to roll her up for a near fall. Eventually, Natsu had reached her wits end, having been unable to put away her fierce challenger. Sumire called Kobayashi up onto the apron. As soon as Kaho made it onto the apron, she drew back to punch Natsumi, who was being held by the champion Natsu. Maki ducked and Kobayashi decked Sumire. Natsumi took advantage with a "Jackknife" pin cover. Kaho pulled Maki's leg out from underneath her, away from the referee's vantage point. Maki then confronted Kaho, who backed off. This gave Natsu time to recover. She quickly rolled up Maki with a huge handful of tights, almost pulling her trunks off, to gain the devious pin.

Winner and STILL NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Champion = Sumire Natsu by pinfall in a total match time of 15:03

Miceli: "Natsumi Maki had this match stolen from her twice!"

Young: "The mighty mite should have become champion! She had Sumire Natsu beaten twice!"

Santos: "I guess that insurance policy of Kaho Kobayashi paid off big time!"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll be back fro our big six-woman main event after the break!"

Miceli: "We're back! Let's go to the ring, where our GM AJ Lee will reveal the partner for Kairi Hojo and Yoko Bito!"

"The Dollhouse" made their entrance to a chorus of boos before GM AJ Lee made her entrance.

AJ Lee: "All right! I said last week that we'd have a six-woman tag team main event, and here it is! 'The Dollhouse' is back together again and they're ready for action. So, let's reveal who Kairi Hojo and Yoko Bito picked as their partner!"

The following image displayed on the tron:

The crowd went bananas as Kairi Hojo, Yoko Bito, and Mayu Iwatani rushed to the ring. "The Dollhouse" took a powder.

Match Three ~ Six-Woman Tag Team Challenge ~ Kairi Hojo, Yoko Bito, & Mayu Iwatani vs. "The Dollhouse"--Brooke Adams, Santana Garrett, & "Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon

This was an all-out war that could not be contained inside the ring. All six ladies fought throughout the arena. The referee allowed quite a bit of leniency with the count and double-team enforcement. Ultimately, the match simply could not be controlled. After twenty-five minutes of brawling and Senior Official Carly Rae being tossed aside numerous times, she finally called for the bell.

Winners = double disqualification in 25:28

After the match, AJ Lee came back to ringside.

Lee: "Well, that one didn't end the way I wanted it to! I wanted to see a clear-cut winner! So, we still have a few minutes left of the broadcast, why don't we restart this one?!"

Suddenly, a voice from the back shouted, "I don't think so!"

Miceli: "Who in the world was that?!"

Just then, "Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva played to bring out the owner and CEO of NWA: Femme Fatales, Jordan Richards. AJ Lee had a look of shock on her face.

Jordan Richards: "Hold it right there, little lady! I have a bone to pick with you! By the way, we're not restarting this match, but I'll tell you what we are going to do. I've heard that there's a 'Steel Cage' match here next week. Well, how about we put that cage to good use? I'd like to see Kairi Hojo and her two partners take on 'The Dollhouse' inside that cage! And, since I own this company, I believe that gives me the authority to make it happen! So, we'll see these six go at it again in the main event! Now then, Mrs. Brooks, I need a word with you, my dear. Two days ago, you and your hubby double-crossed Adam Cole with help from 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. By virtue of that, you double-crossed me. I don't take very kindly to anyone double-crossing me for any reason. I gave you this General Manager's position because I trusted you to run this organization the right way. After what went down on the Show Time Power Hour, how can I trust you again?! The short answer is that I can't! With that in mind, I have but one more thing to say to you--AJ Lee, you're f..."

Lee: "Jordan, Jordan, Jordan! Don't say it! At least hear me out!"

Richards: "I'm listening."

Lee: "You have to understand! It wasn't my idea! I didn't agree with what Phil and Steve were planning. I warned them that there would be repercussions! But, at the end of the day, CM Punk is my husband and I have to support him, whether I agree with him or not. You're married. Surely, you could understand that."

Richards: "I understand spousal loyalty, yes. But, if you knew that this was going to happen, why didn't you come to me ahead of time so that I could have shut it down?! You say you didn't agree with the plan, but actions speak louder than words in my book!"

Lee: "I didn't know what to do! I didn't want to betray my husband! Look, what's done is done. But, what happens in Show Time has no bearing on what happens in Femme Fatales. Those are two different organizations with two different rosters and totally different leadership. Give me a chance to show you that I will continue to run this company the way I always have! Please!"

Richards: "Here's the deal! You have ONE shot to do the right thing! ONE SHOT! I'll be here next week. I'll be watching every move you make! If you slip up even the least little bit, you're fired!"

Lee: Understood! You won't regret this decision!"

AJ then went skipping off to the back. Jordan Richards came to the commentary booth.

Miceli: "Well Mr. Richards, this was a pleasant surprise. We didn't expect to see you here."

Richards: "Just like I didn't expect CM Punk, 'Stone Cold,' and AJ to betray a trust either."

Young: "So, what made you change your mind? Clearly, you were about to fire AJ Lee."

Richards: "You're right. I was. But, I guess I'm getting old and soft. I figure everyone could use a second chance. I don't know. Maybe she really didn't agree with her husband."

Santos: "AJ says you won't regret this decision. Do you trust her?"

Richards: "Not as far as I could throw her. I'm already regretting the decision, to tell you the truth. But, I guess we'll see what happens next week. Ladies, it's always a pleasure. If you'll excuse me, I'll let you close out the episode."

Miceli: "Well, we got a surprise visit from our owner and CEO, along with the promise of two 'Steel Cage' matches on next week's program, which will be a first! So, please join us next Thursday on TNT for more Femme Fatales! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli! Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"
