"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 42 (Week 84)

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! Girls, we've got a good one for the fans this week!"

Renee Young: "Yes, we do! Goya Kong will debut in the ring this week! 'The Dollhouse' will defend the Ladies Trios Championship against 'Triple Tails!' And, Makoto will defend the Bantamweight Championship!"

Melissa Santos: "It's going to be a big night!"

Miceli: "So, let's get it started with our first match-up!"

Match One ~ Goya Kong with Shani & La Hiedra vs. Misaki Ohata with "Lady Destroyer" Hiroyo Matsumoto

This was a special challenge match resulting from last week's Tag Team Championship change. Kong is massive and dwarfed Ohata. Misaki fought hard, but could not overpower the Latina behemoth. Kong had the victory secured, but then "Belleza Escondida" hit the ring and began to wail on her.

Winner = Goya Kong by disqualification in 9:46

Shani and La Hiedra jumped into the ring and evened the odds. The six women fought to an impasse, as Hiroyo dragged Ohata out of the run and helped her to the back. "Curvas Peligrosas" left the ring, holding the Tag Team Championship up high as the crowd booed them.

Sexy Flor grabbed a microphone.

Sexy Flor: "Seis mujeres etiqueta la próxima semana (Six-woman tag next week)!"

Shani shouted from the floor, "¡Lo tienes, perra (You got it, b****)!"

Miceli: "So, I guess we'll have ourselves a little six-woman action next week!"

Young: "I'm looking forward to that one!"

Santos: "There will be a lot of boiling hot Latina blood next Thursday!"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll be back with more action in just a moment!"

After the commercial break, a post production splice that was taped on February 27 was edited into the broadcast, which had already been taped on February 23.

Miceli: "Fans, we don't normally hype events from other territories on this program, as we usually have a jam-packed episode lined up each week. However, the events that unfolded on February twenty-sixth in NWA: HAWK precipitated some acknowledgement. Laura Cruz and Chiho Nishimori sat down with Natsumi Maki for an interesting interview earlier today. Let's take you to that now."

Laura Cruz: "Hello everyone! I'm 'Locker Room Lovely' Laura Cruz, and I'm here with Natsumi Maki, who's a former Bantamweight Tag Team Champion, and who has made waves in that division since debuting last year. I also have Chiho Nishimori here, who will act as our interpreter today. Natsumi, the world has seen the footage of you making an appearance at the NWA: HAWK event and stealing the All Queen's Championship belt, which you have with you today. Can you explain your actions?"

Natsumi Maki (via Chiho Nishimori): "Hontōni shinpurudesu. Watashi wa bantamu-kyū bumon no chanpion o sa rete iru. Watashi wa NWA: Famufataru s de torikunda hotondo no shiai de katta. Watashi wa jibun no shiya o hiroge, hoka no senshuken ni chōsen shitai. Watashi wa famufataru s o aishite ite, watashi no koko de no jikan wa subarashikattadesu. Shikashi, sore wa watashi ga joō ni naru tokidesu (It is simple, really. I have been a champion in the Bantamweight division. I have won nearly every match I have wrestled in NWA: Femme Fatales. I want to broaden my horizons and challenge for championships elsewhere. I love Femme Fatales and my time here has been wonderful. But, it is time I become a Queen)."

Cruz: "Are you saying you want to leave NWA: Femme Fatales?"

Maki: "Watashi wa nokoshitakunai. Shikashi, watashi wa jibun no unmei o hatasu tame ni saru hitsuyō ga aru to kanjite imasu. Watashi wa joōdearu tame ni umaremashita. Sore wa subete no joō no senshuken kara hajimarimasu (I do not want to leave. But, I feel I must leave in order to fulfill my destiny. I was born to be a Queen. That starts with the All Queen's Championship)."

Cruz: "Wow! What a bombshell. Have you spoken with Commissioner Aikawa about moving on?"

Maki: "Watashi wa NWA: HAWK to no torihiki o irai shite imasu. Aikawa iin wa shitsubō shite iruga, kanojo wa watashi no tachiba ni tatsu tsumori wa nai to nobeta. Kanojo wa, NWA: HAWK kanri no shōsai o kentō-chūdesu (I have requested to be traded to NWA: HAWK. Commissioner Aikawa is disappointed, but stated that she will not stand in my way. She is working out the details with NWA: HAWK management)."

Cruz: "I speak for all of NWA: Femme Fatales when I say we certainly will miss seeing you around here."

Maki: "Dōmo arigatōgozaimashita. Shikashi, shinpaishinaide kudasai. Watashi wa bantamu-kyū no bōfūu o norou to shite iru Nihon kara no ikutsu ka no yūjin ga iru (Thank you very much. But, do not fret. I have several friends from Japan who are about to take the Bantamweight division by storm)."

Cruz: "Really? That's news to me. Who are they?"

Maki: "Anata ga hyōji sa remasu. Anata wa subete sugu ni hyōji sa remasu (You will see. You all will see very soon)."

Cruz: "Hmm. Very Interesting. Thank you for your time, and good luck in NWA: HAWK!"

Maki: "Arigatōgozaimashita. Shikashi, un wa haisha no tamedesu (Thank you. But, luck is for losers)."

Cruz: "Indeed. Back to you, Madusa."

Miceli: "Let's go to the ring for our next contest!"

NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Championship ~ Makoto vs. Tae Honma

Honma came out and awaited Makoto to make her entrance. Makoto finally walked out, but would not come to the ring. Instead, she demanded a microphone.

Makoto: "Aikawa, Ima koko ni dete kudasai (Aikawa, get out here now)!"

Commissioner Aikawa came to ringside.

Yuzuki Aikawa: "What is the problem, Makoto?"

Makoto: "Mondai? ! Mondai wa, watashi ga kono beruto o kakutoku shita kotodesu. Soshite, ima, anata wa watashi ga kyō sore o mamoru yō ni shite imasu! Watashi wa kono kaisha de mottomo shihai-tekina bantamu-kyū sa rete iru! Watashi wa ikutsu ka no sonkeiniataisuru (The problem?! The problem is that I just won this belt, and now you are making me defend it today! I have been the most dominant Bantamweight in this company! I deserve some respect)!"

Aikawa: "Respect?! How about respecting the championship you won and defending it proudly?"

Makoto: "Watashi wa anata ga watashi to hanashite iru hōhō o kansha shinai! Watashi wa keii o yōkyū suru (I do not appreciate the way you are talking to me! I demand respect)!"

Aikawa: "Makoto, respect is not demanded. It is earned. Stop wasting our time. You have a title to defend."

With that, Aikawa turned to walk away. When she did, Makoto hit an "Enziguiri" to the back of Aikawa's head. Makoto then stood up triumphantly, exclaiming, "Anata wa ima watashi o sonkei shimasu (You will respect me now)!"

Honma jumped out of the ring and threw Makoto into it, beginning the match. Honma was aggressively advancing toward the champion, who tried to retreat. Honma continued to take it to the champion. Makoto eventually got herself a respite after grabbing Honma by the trunks and throwing her out of the ring. After she caught her breath, she jumped down to the floor and bashed Honma's skull into the steel cornerpost. Makoto continued the assault on a barely conscious Honma. The referee hopped down to the floor and admonished Makoto to get the match back inside the ring. Makoto sneered at the referee and punched her in the face. Commissioner Aikawa, who had recovered after being assessed by medical staff, ran over to the timekeeper's table and demanded that the bell be rung. She then picked up the announcer's microphone.

Winner = Tae Honma by disqualification in 4:12 (Makoto retains)

Aikawa: "Makoto, you have gone too far! This match is over! You are disqualified! But, you will not get off that easily! Since you decided to strike a company executive and a licensed official, you are fined five thousand dollars, suspended indefinitely, and you are stripped of the Bantamweight Championship! Security, get her out of here!"

Makoto was dragged out, kicking and screaming, by the Security force. As they got to the backstage area, they were met by these three:

The three Japanese women attacked Makoto and left her laying.

Aikawa: "Next week, a new Bantamweight Champion will be crowned!"

Miceli: "Wow! Makoto just stepped off into some pretty deep waters!"

Young: "Yep! Deep and scalding hot, too!"

Santos: "Makoto might have bitten off more than she could chew this time!"

Miceli: "And, who were those women beating the snot out of her?! We have to take a commercial break. We'll be back with our main event in just a moment!"

Miceli: "Fans, we're back, and it's time for our main event, for the Ladies Trios Championship! This should be a barnburner!"

Match Three ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Ladies Trios Championship ~ "The Dollhouse"--Brooke Adams, Santana Garrett, & "Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon vs. "Triple Tails"--Kana, Io Shirai, & Mio Shirai with "The Boss" Manami Toyota

This was a hard-hitting affair. "Triple Tails" owned the bulk of the action, as they are three of the best in the world. "The Dollhouse" used every trick in the book to stay in it, but Io Shirai and company had an answer for them all. The match was well in hand, when Kris Wolf came down to ringside and began harassing Manami Toyota for the second week in a row. Kana jumped down to the floor to insinuate herself into the situation. She and Wolf were having words as the action went on in the ring. The rest of "Oedo Tai" made their way to ringside as well, which distracted everyone else, including the referee. This distraction provided the impetus "The Dollhouse" needed to forge ahead. Adams took what looked like a hairspray can and bounced it off Mio's head. This allowed Garrett to hit her "Shining Star Press." The referee turned around just in time to see it. Kana and Io made it into the ring a second too late.

Winners and STILL NWA: Femme Fatales Ladies Trios Champions = "The Dollhouse" by pinfall in 24:49

Miceli: "With all the chaos out here, 'The Dollhouse' certainly benefitted from it!"

Young: "Huge distraction by 'Oedo Tai!' What an assist, whether they meant to or not!"

Santos: "It's clear that 'Oedo Tai' is continuing to target 'Joshi Mafia!' ACT Yasukawa wants badly to take out her former bosses!"

Miceli: "Most people who mess with 'Joshi Mafia' end up hurt! Fans, we have to take another commercial break! We'll be back in a moment with a look back at the Women's Championship matches from SuperBrawl!"

Miceli: "We're back! Let's take a look at highlights of the Femme Fatales and NWA World Women's Championship matches from this past weekend's NWA SuperBrawl pay-per-view!"

A highlight package was shown that chronicled Yumi Ohka's title defense against Yoko Bito, in which Bito was disqualified for using a chair that Ohka had originally brought into the ring, as well as highlights of Kairi Hojo's successful defense of the NWA World Women's Championship against Candice LaRae. Afterward, the scene shifted immediately to Commissioner Aikawa's office.

(Door knocked loudly)

Aikawa: "Come in."

Yoko Bito stormed in on a mission.

Yoko Bito: "Anata wa shiai o mita! Watashi wa SuperBrawl ni ubawareta (You saw the match! I was robbed at SuperBrawl)!"

Aikawa: "I agree. It was very controversial."

Bito: "Watashi wa Ōkuma Yumi ga saisen de hoshī (I want Yumi Ohka in a rematch)!"

Aikawa: "You deserve a fair opportunity at the championship. Next week, you will take on Yumi Ohka for the Women's Championship, 'No Disqualification.'"

Bito: "Raishū, Ōkubo Yumi wa itami no ressun o manabimasu (Next week, Yumi Ohka will learn a lesson in pain)!"

Aikawa: "So be it."

Bito left the office. A few seconds later, the door knocked again even more loudly. Aikawa implored the visitor to come in, but no one answered. She went to the door and opened it, but no one was at the doorway. Aikawa walked a few steps down the hall, then turned around and went back into the office, where AJ Lee sat at her desk.

Aikawa: "You don't belong here! You don't even work here any longer! Security!"

AJ Lee: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Yuzuki, indulge me for one minute."

Aikawa: "You have sixty seconds to be out of my office!"

Lee: "That's all I need. Femme Fatales needs AJ Lee, if not as the GM, at least as a wrestler. I am a proven commodity."

Aikawa: "You were given that opportunity against me and squandered it."

Lee: "Yes, but that was on the spur of the moment. I wasn't prepared to wrestle and I was taken by surprise. Surely, you can appreciate that."

Aikawa: "It's neither here nor there. What exactly do you want?! The clock is ticking."

Lee: "Give me one more shot, next week. You book me in a match against anyone on the roster. If I win, I'm back as a full-time wrestler. If I lose, you'll never hear from me again. You can even pick the stipulation."

Aikawa: "Why would I give you another chance? Why do you deserve it?"

Lee: "Because I'm a former World Champion and a major draw. This is a business decision for you! You want the best ratings and the best talent gives you that. It's a 'win-win' for you."

Aikawa: "I highly doubt that. Your time is up."

Lee: "Come on! What? Are you afraid of having me work in this company?! Are you afraid of AJ Lee?!"

Aikawa: "Fear has nothing to do with it. I don't trust you. Get out!"

Lee: "I'll pay the company fifty thousand dollars to put me in this match next week! Win or lose, Femme Fatales can keep the money!"

Aikawa: "So, I pick the opponent and the stipulation. You put up fifty thousand dollars, win or lose?"

Lee: "Absolutely."

Aikawa: "Deal!"

Lee: "Awesome! Who's my opponent?"

Aikawa: "You'll see next week."

Lee: "Fine. It doesn't matter. I'll bring the cash with me. It's going to be a pleasure working with you again, Commissioner."

Aikawa: "We'll see about that."

Miceli: "Good Lord! What a huge announcement! Next week's episode will be epic! Please join us right back here on TNT next Thursday for more Femme Fatales! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli! Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"
