"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 77 (Week 154)

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, the 'Bash' is in three days, and we have a massive match included in the festivities!"

Renee Young: "Indeed we do, Duce! It's going to be a 'Fatal Four-Way Elimination' match for the Tag Team Championship!"

Melissa Santos: "Four of our top teams will vie for the titles held by Mercedes KV and Bayley Rose!"

Miceli: "In honor of that match, the three challenging teams will be in action tonight! 'Sadistic Tails' will battle 'Fire-n-Nice' and Shida and Syuri will take on the debuting team of Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, 'Absolution!' The action will start with a rematch for the Bantamweight Championship, as Saki Kashima defends against former champion Sumire Natsu! That happens right now!"

Match One ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Championship ~ Saki Kashima vs. Sumire Natsu with Yumi Ohka

Natsu used some distraction by Ohka to take the advantage right off the bat. Kashima used her counter wrestling skill to offset Sumire's offense, but she was in trouble. Natsu grinded away on Kashima, who was outweighed by twenty or so pounds. Saki eventually came back with a marvelous second-wind effort. She proved her toughness. In fact, Kashima was on the verge of victory before interference by the rest of 'Oedo Tai' spelled the end of the match.

Winner and STILL NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Champion = Saki Kashima by disqualification in 11:27

After the match, 'Oedo Tai' commenced the beat down until Kairi Hojo and Mayu Iwatani ran to the ring. 'Oedo Tai' eventually took back over. Then, Maya Yukihi and a hooded woman joined the fray and turned the tide. The hooded woman revealed herself to be former roster member Risa Sera.

Miceli: "That's Risa Sera! We haven't seen her in well over a year! What's she doing here?!"

Young: "She clearly came in with Maya Yukihi! Have they formed some kind of alliance?! Is she even back with the company?!"

Santos: "A lot of questions need naswers right now! Sufficed to say, 'Oedo Tai' is as shocked as we all are!"

Miceli: "Fans, let's take a break. We'll be back with more tag team action in three minutes!"

Miceli: "We're back! We're still figuring out what's going on with Risa Sera. wait, I've just been handed a note from our producers saying that, per Commissioner Aikawa, risa Sera is back as a 'Second Chance Talent!' Congrats to her! Hold on! I'm told there is some commotion backstage! Let's catch up with the cameraman!"

The scene shifted to the backstage area, where Yumi Ohka and Manami Toyota were engaged in a tussle. Io Shirai ran in and Ohka backed off, but not before issuing a challenge to Toyota.

Yumi Ohka: "Toyota Manami! Watashi wa fukushū suru hitsuyō ga arimasu! Watashi wa kon'ya ​​ anata no ringu ni ite hoshī, rōba (Manami Toyota! I must have revenge! I want you in the ring tonight, old woman)!"

Io Shirai: "Kanojo wa intaishita (She's retired)!"

Ohka: "Watashi wa kinishinai! Watashi wa kanojo no kon'ya no ringu ni shitai (I don't care! I want her in the ring tonight)!"

Manami Toyota: "Anata ga `Haisha no Ha Machi' no shiai ni dōi surunara, watashi wa sore o shimasu (I'll do it if you agree to a 'Loser Leaves Town' match)!"

Ohka: "Fain! Anata no baggu, furui taimā o pakku (Fine! Pack your bags, old timer)!"

Miceli: "Did I just hear that correctly?! Manami Toyota has agreed to come out of retirement for a 'Loser Leaves Town' match with Yumi Ohka tonight?!"

Young: "Oh my goodness! I can't believe it!"

Santos: "That's a huge event!"

Miceli: "That's gotta be our main event! But first, let's go to this next match!"

Match Two ~ Hikaru Shida & Syuri vs. "Absolution" ("Golden Goddess" Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville)

This was a hard-hitting match that took a decidedly MMA feel, considering the backgrounds of all the involved participants. Rose and Deville were aggressive in their attempt to establish themselves as a team to beat against the former Tag Team Champions. Shida and Syuri were every bit their equals. The finish saw hoist Rose up for the "Falcon Arrow," only to have Deville chop-block her left knee, causing Rose to fall on top of her. Mandy grabbed a handful of tights to secure the pinfall as Sonya kept Syuri at bay.

Winners = "Absolution" by pinfall in 9:13

Miceli: "The girls from 'Absolution' stole one in their first match with our company!"

Young: "They sure did! But, it's a big win nonetheless!"

Santos: "The question is how is Hikaru Shida? She's still clutching that knee and she's supposed to be in that 'Fatal Four-Way' this Sunday!"

Miceli: "That's a great question, Melissa. She does look to be in a lot of pain. We'll take a quick break."

Miceli: "Fans, we're back. Hikaru Shida had to be helped to the back by Syuri and the trainers. Her status for this Sunday's 'Great American Bash' is in question for sure! We have another hard-hitting tag team battle ready to go! Let's take it back to the ring with Jessica Rose on the call!"

Match Three ~ "Sadistic Tails" (Kana & Mio Shirai) vs. "Fire-n-Nice" (Britt Baker & Chelsea Green)

Kana and Shirai dominated the offense, as they tend to do. They have established themselves as top contenders to the Tag Team Championship. Baker and Green were capable foils, though. They work well together and have excellent team timing. In the end, it was a newly raging feud that did in the favorites. "Queen Kongs" appeared on stage at the entrance ramp, rpomting Kana and Shirai to leave the match and give chase. Green and Bake caught their breaths while the referee counted their opponents out.

Winners = "Fire-n-Nice" by countout in 12:38

Miceli: "What a cheap win for Britt and Chelsea with the sneak assist by Aja and Awesome Kong!"

Young: "So far, both of our tag team matches have ended do to dirty tactics!"

Santos: "It's dog eat dog out there right now, and no one seems to be playing by the rules!"

Miceli: "You got that right, sister! We'll take another break. When we return, we'll have an announcement by Commissioner Aikawa plus Manami Toyota comes out of retirement for a 'Loser Leaves Town' match against Yumi Ohka in our main event!"

Miceli: "We're back! Commissioner Aikawa is about to give us an update on a big 'Grudge' match coming up! Let's hear from her now!"

The scene shifted to a pre-taped interview from Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa.

Yuzuki Aikawa: "For several months, a war has raged on between 'Power Stones' and 'Ocean Queens.' With the events of the last few weeks, things have changed drastically. As the world saw on this program, Shiroma Miru turned her back on Jurina Matsui and joined 'Ocean Queens.' Her influence has spread throughout the group, as they have now changed the team name to 'Dasu Vaders,' and several members of the group have changed their names. Jurina has vowed revenge and challenged Shiroma and Octopus Suda to a tag team match. I can now confirm when and where that match will take place. I have been in talks with World Idol Pro Wrestling management. This match is set to headline their summer spectacular, 'WIP Queendom,' which will be held on July twentieth in the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium in Nagoya, Japan. Jurina's partner will be WIP superstar Shark Komiyama, who was spurned by 'Ocean Queens' months ago and has become a leading heroine since then. NWA: Femme Fatales will air highlights of this match on our programming. 'WIP Queendom' will be available for pay-per-view purchase. Go to www.nwafemmefatales.com for more information. Thank you." 

Miceli: "So, it looks like Jurina Matsui will finally get what she's been asking for! I think they'll tear the house down! Fans, it's now time to see what we thought we'd never witness again...Manami Toyota in a wrestling match! She retired eighteen months ago and has not been in a ring since. She is the Head Trainer for the women's division of the 'Show Time Dojo,' but she hasn't seen active competition in ages! However, she has agreed to step into the ring for an impromptu match against her archrival Yumi Ohka, and the stakes couldn't be any higher! It's a 'Loser Leaves Town' match! Let's get it on!"

Match Four ~ "Loser Leaves Town" ~ Manami Toyota with  "The Ace" Io Shirai vs. Yumi Ohka with Kagetsu

This was the Manami Toyota show. She never missed a beat. You would have thought that she had never retired. Toyota had Ohka hurting from the opening bell and did not let up, as referenced by these still photos:

Ohka got in some offense, but Manami kept coming back with more vengeance. Yumi unleashed several kicks and other strikes, but Manami had a defense for it all. every member of "Oedo Tai" tried to interfere, but were thwarted, at first by Io Shirai, then by Kairi Hojo, Mayu Iwatani, Saki Kashima, Maya Yukihi, and Risa Sera. After a vicious "Japanese Queen Bee Bomb," it was finally over.

Winner = Manami Toyota by pinfall in 15:49

Miceli: "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Manami Toyota is the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots! A year-and-a-half on the shelf, comes back with no notice, and wins a main event match! Phenomenal!"

Young: "Manami Toyota turned back the clock and looked like her five-star self and vanquished Yumi Ohka to boot!"

Santos: "With the loss, Yumi Ohka is gone from NWA: Femme Fatales!"

Miceli: "Fans, Manami is celebrating and the arena crowd is giving her a standing ovation! Well deserved! Unfortunately, we're out of time for this week. Please join us again next Thursday on TNT for more Femme Fatales! And, whatever you do, you have to order NWA 'Great American Bash' on pay-per-view this Sunday! It's going to be epic! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli! Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"
