"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 52 (Week 104)

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. With me are my lovelies, Renee Young and Melissa Santos!"

Before Madusa could go any further, this entrance video hit on the tron:

Charlotte Flair: "Tessa Blanchard, get your a$$ out here right now so I can kick it!"

Tessa Blanchard came to ringside with a smile on her face and the crowd behind her.

Flair: "You tried to kill me last week, you lunatic!"

Tessa Blanchard: "I just decided that the world didn't need another Flair running around."

Flair: "That's where you're wrong, sweetheart! The world of wrestling needs me badly! I'm genetically superior and I can do things the guys can't even do! The world certainly needs me and my family! We're wrestling royalty, unlike your family! All the Blanchard family ever did was put out a company that went bankrupt and three wrestlers who don't never belonged anywhere near the main event! The Blanchard family is garbage, and your dad should be in prison right along with all those cons he's preaching to!"

With that, Tessa stormed into the ring. Charlotte quickly retreated.

Flair: "No way, honey! This is going down on my terms! If you want me in the ring, you have to put up some collateral!"

Blanchard: "You want money to fight?! Name your price!"

Flair: "I don't need your money! My family has all of that we need! I want your contract! I'll take you on right now! But, if I win, I get to tear your contract up in front of you!"

Blanchard: "If that's what it takes to get you in this ring, let's do it!"

Flair: "Get us a ref out here!"

Match One ~ If Tessa Blanchard loses, Charlotte Flair will tear her NWA: Femme Fatales contract up in front of her ~ Charlotte Flair vs. Tessa Blanchard

This was a grueling war. At the beginning of the match, these two came from the back and sat at ringside:

The crowd and the commentators continued to conjecture over why Dakota Rhodes and her father Dustin were out watching this match from the crowd. That became clear as the match reached its climax. The action spilled outside of the ring. Blanchard was launched into the barricade by Flair and her arm accidentally struck Dakota in the face. It was clear that Rhodes was seething, as it was etched on her face every time the camera panned to her. The referee was knocked down during the ending sequence. Blanchard dropped Flair with her signature "Slingshot Belly-to-Back Suplex," As she went for the cover, Dakota hopped the barricade and drove her heel into Tessa's skull. This was unseen by the official, who was still gathering herself. Charlotte looked shocked, but took full advantage by snapping off her "Bow Down to the Queen" finisher as Tessa tried to recover.

The camera panned to Dakota, who had hopped back over the barricade. She looked square into the lens and declared, "It's about time a Blanchard got screwed by a Rhodes!," before walking away with her dad to a chorus of boos. Per the agreement, Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa emerged from the back with a contract in her hand. Blanchard pled her case, but Aikawa stated that the referee's decision was final. She had not seen the ending of the match herself because she was in transit from the offices with Tessa's contract.

Miceli: "What in God's name was Dakota Rhodes thinking?! She has no affiliation with Charlotte or 'The Four Horsewomen!""

Renee Young: "Well, you heard what she said into the camera. Maybe she was avenging all those years of Tully Blanchard tormenting her grandpa Dusty Rhodes!"

Melissa Santos: "Or, maybe she got so upset about getting hit out there, she just snapped!"

Miceli: "Regardless, Tessa's done in Femme Fatales for the second time! She just lost her contract!"

Charlotte took her time and slowly ripped up Tessa's contract, throwing the scraps in her face and laughing maniacally. Tessa waved at the crowd before walking dejectedly to the back.

Miceli: "Fans, we'll take a break and be right back. Stay tuned!"

Miceli: "So, that first match-up was a monumental start to the program, which we didn't even get to run down because of the interruption. We were told during the break that the originally scheduled first match, which was supposed to be Yumi Ohka and Hana Kimura vs. Maya Yukihi and Reika Seiki, will be moved to next week. For the sake of time, we have to move onto our main event, which is the challenge match for the Trios Championship! Let's go to the ring!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Ladies Trios Championship ~ "The Asylum"--AJ Lee, "Crazy" Mary Dobson, & Ruby Riot vs. "Spoiled Brats"--"Booty Monster" Mila Naniki & Aria Blake and "New York Knockout" Brandi Lauren

This was a wild and chaotic match. All six ladies had a score to settle and a point to prove. "The Asylum" wished to established their dominance, while Lauren and the "Spoiled Brats" wanted to make a huge splash as the new kids on the block. For the second time of the night, controversy played into this one. Twenty minutes in, and with an "Asylum" victory appearing imminent, NWA: Femme Fatales and Show Time CEO Jordan Richards walked out to ringside. He demanded that AJ Lee leave the match and go to the back with him. AJ relented at the behest of her partners, but Richards threatened to make life even more miserable for her and husband CM Punk. So, AJ apologized and began to walk away from the ring. Dobson screamed to the top of her lungs for AJ to come back. Mary was caught from behind by a kick to the back from Naniki. Blake and Naniki then hit their double-team finish, the "Brat Bomb," while Lauren knocked riot off the apron.

Miceli: "I get that Jordan Richards is trying to prove a point to AJ for turning on 'The Richards Collective,' but this was ridiculous! He invaded our program, which is completely unrelated to anything they have going on over at Show Time!"

Young: "AJ had no choice. She's trying to keep her husband from getting hurt!"

Santos: "That directly led to them losing the championship, and I think Jordan Richards was hoping that would happen."

Miceli: "You'd better believe it, sister! What a turn of events on both matches! This was a bizarre and controversial episode. 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'!"
