"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 76 (Week 152)

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 some huge matches lined up this week!"

Renee Young: "We'll see a grudge match of epic proportions, as Kairi Hojo, Mayu Iwatani, Saki Kashima, and The Starlight Kid take on 'Oedo Tai!'"

Melissa Santos: "That's not all! 'Queen Kongs' and Kana will defend the Trios Championship against 'The IIConics' and fellow Aussie Tenille Dashwood!"

Miceli: "We'll have an exclusive interview with Jurina Matsui following the events of last week. And, our main event will see some fierce tag team action, as Priscilla Kelly and Maho Kerone challenge 'The Four Horsewomen' for the Tag Team Championship! What an hour it promises to be! Let's get to it!"

Match One ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Ladies Trios Championship ~ "Queen Kongs" (Aja & Awesome Kong) and Kana vs. "The IIconics" (Jessie McKay & Peyton Royce) and Tenille Dashwood

On paper, this looked like a big mismatch. For a while, it seemed like it. The bigger, stronger, meaner Japanese stalwarts really took it to their Aussie opponents. Fans thought they were seeing a routine title defense. Things changed drastically when the champions had a miscue. Kana held Royce in place for a "Double Spinning Backfist" by the Kongs. However, Peyton ducked hard at the last second, pulling Kana into the line of fire. She went down like she had been shot. McKay and Dashwood then hit stereo "Dropkicks" on the Kongs and sent them out of the ring while Royce leveled Kana with the "Gory Neckbreaker," followed by her "Ughhh ("Bridging Fisherman Suplex")" finisher that got the surprise win.

Winners and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Ladies Trios Champions = "The IIconics" & Tenille Dashwood by pinfall in 12:46

Miceli: "Oh my! What an upset!"

After the bell, Aja and Awesome Kong checked on Kana, who shoved them away and began to berate them. Soon after, Kana's regular partner Mio Shirai came running to the ring to confront the Kongs. A four-way brawl ensued that had to be broken up by Security.

Miceli: "Wow! The former 'Joshi Mafia' stable mates and best friends are obviously no longer so tight!"

Young: "Clearly, Kana blamed Aja and Awesome Kong for that loss!"

Santos: "Now, we've got a war brewing between 'Queen Kongs' and 'Sadistic Tails!' Honestly, I'd love to see that match!"

Miceli: "I think we can all agree that would be a straight up fight! Fans, we need to take a break. When we return, we'll have that one-on-one interview with Jurina Matsui! Stay with us!"

Miceli: "We're back! As the world saw on last week's episode, 'Power Stones' dissolved when Shiroma Miru turned on her tag team partner Jurina Matsui to join archenemies 'Ocean Queens.' As shocked as we all were, no one would have been more floored than Jurina herself. Earlier this week, she granted Chiho Nishimori the opportunity to conduct an interview. Let's take you to that at this time."

A pre-taped interview then aired.

Chiho Nishimori: "I am here with Jurina Matsui, who has graciously allowed me to interview her about the events that transpired last week. Jurina, konkai watashi ni anata to hanasu koto o kyoka shite kurete arigatō (Jurina, thank you for granting me this time to speak with you)."

Jurina Matsui: "Anata to issho ni hataraku koto wa itsumo tanoshīdesu, Chiho (It's always a pleasure to work with you, Chiho)."

Nishimori: "Kore wa muzukashīdeshou. Shikashi, watashi wa kyō koko de kibishī shitsumon o suru hitsuyō ga arimasu (This will be difficult, I know. But, I must ask the hard questions here today)."

Matsui: "Junbi dekimashita. Tsudzukeru (I'm ready. Go on)."

Nishimori: "Watashitachi wa mina senshū, anata no pātonādeari naganen no tomo shirōma miru ga anata ni se o muke,`Ōshan Kuīnzu' ni sanka shita ibento no hisan'na ugoki o mimashita. Sore izen ni mondai ga atta to iu chōkō wa arimashita ka (We all saw the heartbreaking turn of events last week, where your partner and longtime friend Shiroma Miru turned her back on you and joined up with 'Ocean Queens.' Did you have any indication that there were problems prior to that)?"

Matsui: "Dōitashimashite. Shiroma wa umaku itte imasu. Rikai dekimasen. Soshite, kanojo ga atode watashinitsuite no subete no koto o iu no o kiku tame ni, soreha mune ga itakatta (Not at all. Shiroma has been fine. I don't get it. And, to hear her say all that about me afterward, it was heartbreaking)."

Nishimori: "Sūjitsugo ni anata no kangae wa nanidesu ka (What are your thoughts several days later)?"

Matsui: "Sore wa kanjō no senpūdeshita. Watashi wa saisho ni fukaku kanashinde ita. Watashi wa Shiroma ni nando mo denwa shite mimashitaga, kotae wa arimasendeshita. Hibi ga susumu ni tsure, watashi wa masumasu okotte kimashita. Naze watashi wa kanojo o senaka ni sasu kawari ni watashi ni kite hanasu koto ga dekimasendeshita ka? Kanojo wa riko-tekina monodearu koto ga shōmei sa rete imasu. Ima, kanojo wa kanojo no kōdō no kekka ni kurushimudeshou (It's been a whirlwind of emotion. I was deeply saddened at first. I even tried to call Shiroma several times, with no answer. As the days have gone on, I have become more and more angry. Why couldn't she have come to me and talked instead of stabbing me in the back? She has proven to be the selfish one. Now, she will suffer the consequences of her actions)."

Nishimori: "Shitsumon wa ima anata o enjo suru tame ni dare ga nyūsha dekimasu ka? Anata wa 5 tai 1 yori mo sū ga ōidesu (The question now is who can you enlist to help you? You are outnumbered five to one)."

Matsui: "Ā, Shiroma wa watashi no yuiitsu no yūjinde wa nakatta. Watashi wa koko de watashinojikan ni ikutsu ka tsukutta. Soshite, moshi watashi ga sorera o hitsuyō to surunara, watashi wa WAiPu no jidai kara, mōichido `Ōshan Kuīnzu' o ringu de te ni iretai to omotte iru takusan no tomodachi ga imasu (Oh, Shiroma was not my only friend. I have made a few in my time here. And, if I need them, I still have plenty of friends from my WIP days who would love to get 'Ocean Queens' in the ring one more time)."

Nishimori: "Sore de, anata wa chōsen o shite iru to omoimasu ka (So, can we assume you're issuing a challenge)?"

Matsui: "Zettai ni! Watashi wa Shiroma Miru to Octopus Suda o taguchīmu no shiai ni shitai (Absolutely! I want Shiroma Miru and Octopus Suda in a tag team match)!"

Nishimori: "You heard it here, Commissioner Aikawa. Let's make this happen. Jurina, anata wa insupirēshon o ukete imasu. Watashi wa anata ga kono ibento o sugite anata no kyaria o seikō sa seru koto ga dekireba saiwaidesu (Jurina, you have been an inspiration. I hope you are able to move past this event and have continued success in your career)."

Matsui: "Saisho no mono ga saisho ni. Watashi wa hōfuku ga hitsuyōdesu! Sonogo, watashi wa idō shimasu. Watashi wa Shiroma to kanojo no atarashī sakana no tomodachi o subete toridasu made yasumanai (First things first. I must have retribution! Then, I will move on. I will not rest until I take out Shiroma and all her new fishy friends)!"

Nishimori: "Sorera no doryoku de kōun. Kyō wa arigatōgozaimasu (Good luck in those endeavors. Thank you for your time today)."

Matsui: "Dōitashimashite. Watashi no hanashi o watashi ni tsutaete kurete arigatō (My pleasure. Thank you for letting me tell my side of the story)."

Nishimori: "Madusa, back to you."

Miceli: "So, Jurina Matsui has gone from sad to mad and now she wants Shiroma Miru and Octopus Suda in a tag team match! But, who's her partner gonna be?! Hopefully, we'll see all that flesh out soon! Fans, let's get back to the ring for this huge grudge match!"

Before the match began, Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa came out and declared it a "No Disqualification" match. The fans went ballistic at this announcement.

Match Two ~ "No Disqualification" ~ "Oedo Tai" (Hana Kimura, Sumire Natsu, HZK, & Kris Wolf with Yumi Ohka) vs. Kairi Hojo, Mayu Iwatani, Saki Kashima, & The Starlight Kid

This was another in Kairi Hojo's attempts to gain a measure of revenge for being taken out by "Oedo Tai" recently. She went at it full tilt against everyone she could get her hands on. Her best friend Mayu was bounding all over the ring, as was The Starlight Kid. Saki Kashima and Sumire Natsu squared off for much of their involvement. HZK looked great against Kid, taking her out with a stiff "Super Kick." There were no less than seven broken pin attempts that elongated the match. The fans became more vocal with each pin break. Hana Kimura dropped Iwatani with a big "Missile Dropkick" and it was thought she had the win for her team, but Mayu bridged out at the last possible moment. Kris Wolf was fighting with Kairi on the top rope and got knocked off, becoming entangled and dangling. Kairi hit a brutal "Double Stomp" that took Wolf out of the game. Starlight flew across the ring and landed her "Twisting Frogsplash" on Kris. Kashima hit Wolf with the "Saki Drop." Mayu came behind and nailed her "Snapdragon Suplex" for the win.

Winners = Kairi Hojo, Mayu Iwatani, Saki Kashima, & The Starlight Kid by pinfall in 22:07

Miceli: "What a fight! Man, Kris Wolf just took everyone's best shot!"

Young: "Big win for the heroes against the villainous 'Oedo Tai,' with Kris Wolf eating everyone's finishers before it was over!"

Santos: "Kairi Hojo's mission of revenge is gaining traction! 'Oedo Tai' is on the run now!"

Miceli: "Let's take a break and clean this ringside area up before the main event! We'll be back in three minutes!"

Miceli: "We're back and we're about to head to the ring for the Tag Team Championship main event!"

Match Three ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Tag Team Championship ~ "The Four Horsewomen" ("Money in the Bank" Mercedes KV & Bayley Rose with Charlotte Flair) vs. "The New Face of Fear" (Priscilla Kelly & "Zombie Girl" Maho Kurone)

The challengers were up to the task. They took the fight to their counterparts. KV and Rose were on the defense for much of the match. It took some collusion to retain the titles. Kurone and the referee (Summer Rae) inadvertently collided in center ring. Maho was mostly unfazed, still with the distant, crazed look in her eyes that typically accompanies her demeanor. Kurone hit the "Uroboros ("Sister Abigail variation")" on Rose, planting her face into the mat. Maho made the cover, but the referee was still out of it. Kelly and KV were fighting on the floor. Charlotte hit Priscilla with a "Running Yakuza Kick" that nearly decleated her. Becky Lynch ran in from the back and pounced on Kurone, who was still covering Rose. Lynch assisted Rose with a "Bayley-to-Belly Suplex" and then shook the referee on her way back to the locker room. The groggy Summer Rae made the pin count.

Winners and STILL NWA: Femme Fatales Tag Team Champions = "The Four Horsewomen" by pinfall in 17:22

Miceli: "Well, it took all 'Four Horsewomen' to win the match! Priscilla Kelly and Maho Kurone were a well-oiled machine! They should be holding the titles right now, if you ask me! Man, what an hour though! We've seen so much action in such a short time! I hate to see it end, but sadly it must. 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'!"
