"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 52 (Week 103)

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 tonight!"

Renee Young: "Madusa, you're exactly right! 'The Four Horsewomen' will be in action against the three ladies they kicked to the curve a few weeks back, Tessa Blanchard, Abbie Belle Windham, and Ariel Piper!"

Melissa Santos: "Also, we'll see Bantamweight Champion Mayu Iwatani battle Saori Anou in a rematch! Plus, Brandi Lauren will be in action against 'Crazy' Mary Dobson in our first match!"

Miceli: "Yep! It's a full hour, so let's get to it!"

Match One ~ "Crazy" Mary Dobson with AJ Lee vs. "New York Knockout" Brandi Lauren

This was a chaotic match. Since her debut and after turning on partner Babi Apache in that match, Lauren has become a hated competitor in NWA: Femme Fatales, a role she seems to embrace and even relish. Meanwhile, Dobson and her "Asylum" mates in AJ Lee and Ruby Riot have won over fans since forming. At first, the trio received vilifying responses. Slowly, their ability and natural charisma, as well as their risk-taking styles, have endeared fans to them a little more. This was an evenly fought battle. In the end, Dobson seemed to have the advantage. But, interference from "Spoiled Brats" caused a disqualification.

Winner = "Crazy" Mary Dobson by disqualification in 10:03

"Spoiled Brats" and Lauren began to hammer on Dobson and Lee until Ruby Riot sprinted to the ring for the save. The three-way brawl quickly disintegrated with Lauren and her cohorts bailing. Brandi could be seen yelling, "We want those belts!" to Lee, who retorted, "Bring it on!"

Miceli: "It looks like we have a buddy rivalry forming here!"

Young: "And, did I hear Brandi Lauren and 'Spoiled Brats' challenge for the Trios Championship?!"

Santos: "That's what I heard too!"

Miceli: "That would be a great fight! I think we'd all like to see it! Fans, let's take a break and we'll be back with more in a moment!"

Miceli: "we're back from commercial and set to go in the ring!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Championship ~ Mayu Iwatani vs. Saori Anou with Mizuka Arai

Iwatani was the better athlete once again in this match. Though Anou fought with more desperation than their last encounter, she still had no answers for the technical wizardry of Mayu. However, about fifteen minutes into the match, women's Champion Io Shirai came sauntering to ringside. This provided a hefty distraction for Iwatani, as Shirai began to loudly berate her from ringside. Mayu lost her edge as Io kept egging her on. Finally, Mayu jumped out of the ring and got nose to nose with Shirai. This allowed Anou to revive herself inside the ring. Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa came to ringside and banished Io, imploring Mayu to rejoin the match. As soon as Iwatani went to reenter the ring, Saori kicked her in the head. Saori then hit a "Tombstone Piledriver," which put Iwatani out for the count.

Winner and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Champion = Saori Anou by pinfall in 17:23

Miceli: "Why does Io Shirai keep screwing with Mayu Iwatani if she's supposedly 'done' with her?!"

Young: "It makes no sense! She just cost her the Bantamweight Championship from no good reason!"

Santos: "I don't know if it's professional jealousy or just pure hatred for Io, though she and Mayu used to be best friends!"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll be back with the six-woman tag team main event after this! Stay with us!"

Miceli: "We're back! Lilian Garcia is in the back with Tessa Blanchard, Abbie Windham, and Ariel Piper. let's go backstage now."

Lilian Garcia: "I'm here with the former members of 'The Four Horsewomen.'"

Tessa Blanchard: "You should be referring to us as the real 'Horsewomen.' Those posers have no business in a group like that!"

Abbie Belle Windham: "We're the real deal! We're the real legacy! We're the real 'Horsewomen!'"

Ariel Piper: "Tonight, we're going to prove it!"

Blanchard: "And, I'm coming after Charlotte Flair personally!"

Garcia: "There you have it. Back to you, Madusa."

Miceli: "It looks like Tessa Blanchard is on a mission to take out Charlotte Flair. Let's see if she can accomplish that, along her teaching the other 'Horsewomen' a lesson!"

Match Three ~ "The Four Horsewomen"--Charlotte Flair, "Money in the Bank" Mercedes KV, & "Lass Kicker" Becky Lynch with Davina Rose vs. Tessa Blanchard, Abbie Belle Windham, & "Hotrod" Ariel Piper

This was a war. Piper ended up taking a lot of punishment. Flair tried to avoid Blanchard at all costs. Eventually, Blanchard did get her hands on Flair, quite literally, as she began to blatantly choke the life out of her. The referee tried in vain to get Tessa to relinquish the hold, as Charlotte's face began to turn purple. Lynch and KV attempted to interfere and force a break, but were taken out by Piper and Windham. The referee counted the mandatory five-count, then called for the bell.

Winners = "The Four Horsewomen" by disqualification in 22:09

Miceli: "I don't think Tessa Blanchard cared at all about winning that match! She was trying to squeeze the life out of Charlotte Flair!"

Young: "That was insane! Tessa Blanchard snapped!"

Santos: "She must have blacked out with rage! I've never seen her like that!"

Miceli: "It was a sight to behold all right! Charlotte Flair is being dragged away by her partners and she still is trying to catch her breath! Wow! Fans, we're getting word in our headsets that there is a fight going on backstage! Let's cut away!"

The scene shifted to backstage, where "The Asylum," "Spoiled Brats," and Brandi Lauren were going at it full bear. They were tossing each other into equipment boxes, beating each other with pipes and cables, and otherwise mauling one another. The scene went on for several minutes to close out remaining time on the program. Commissioner Aikawa finally ran in with Security to break things up. As the six were still fighting through Security to get at each other, Aikawa mandated that the Ladies Trios Championship be on the line next week in a match between the six.

Miceli: "So, we've got a Trios Championship match that should be a huge battle! 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'!"
