"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 78 (Week 155)

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, what an event 'Great American Bash' was! We have a brand new World Champion in Braun Strowman, a new US Champion in Ethan Carter III, and new Femme Fatales Tag Team Champions in 'Sadistic Tails,' who've captured the titles for the second time!"

Renee Young: "The excitement will keep right on rolling tonight, with a huge main event! Charlotte Flair will attempt to stop the bleeding within the 'Horsewomen' camp as far as title losses, when she defends the Women's Championship against Kairi Hojo!"

Santos: "Speaking of huge, the Heavyweight Championship is on the line as Viper defends against Aja Kong!"

Miceli: "We'll start the night off with Mayu Iwatani taking on Kagetsu! Let's take it to the ring!"

Match One ~ Mayu Iwatani with Saki Kashima vs. Kagetsu with Hana Kimura

Mayu dominated in the early going, with her quick-strike offense and highflying. Kagestu took over after Kimura tripped Iwatani up. Kagetsu punished Mayu for several minutes before Iwatani made her comeback. She took the momentum and swung it into her favor. Kagetsu got herself intentionally disqualified for shoving the referee when she sensed she was in danger.

Winner = Mayu Iwatani by disqualification in 12:33

After the match is when things got dicey. Kagetsu dumped Mayu outside the ring. Hana took out Saki and helped Kagetsu drag Iwatani to the balcony, where Kagetsu hanged Mayu with a jacket.

The crowd was horrified as Saki and an assisting Kairi Hojo ran to try and brace Mayu to alleviate her choking. Luckily, Mayu slipped out of the jacket and plunged onto her awaiting friends without further damaged. She laid on the floor gasping for air before being helped to the back.

Miceli: "What a chilling scene we have out here! We need to take a commercial break and check on the status of Mayu Iwatani. We'll be right back."

Miceli: "Fans, we're back. Mayu Iwatani is in the trainer's room. It doesn't appear she's suffered any permanent injuries, so that's great news! Let's take you to a segment taped earlier today with Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa, who had a presentation for the brand new Ladies Night Ultra Champions, 'Fly Kicks.'"

The scene shifted to a pre-taped segment with Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa, Dakota Kai, and Nixon Newell seated.

Yuzuki Aikawa: "Since Dakota Kai and Nixon Newell arrived in NWA: Femme Fatales, they have made a huge impact. They won the Ladies Night Ultra Championship in their first match with the company. In fact, they made such an impression on me, I have come to a decision. I am renaming the Ladies Night Ultra Championship. Going forward, it will be known as the Impact Tag Team Championship in honor of the way you two debuted. I have already commissioned championship belts and I'd like to present them to you at this time."

The new Impact Tag Team Championship belts were presented to "Fly Kicks" and they returned the Ladies Night Ultra Championship belts to Commissioner Aikawa.

Dakota Kai: "We are so honored to be a part of this company and to represent these titles. We will do them proud."

Nixon Newell: "We will defend these beautiful belts against all comers."

Aikawa: "Thank you. I am certain you will represent our company and this championship well."

Miceli: "The Impact Tag Team Champions 'Fly Kicks' are two of the hottest young stars in women's wrestling! Those titles will look good on them! Fans, let's go back to the ring for Heavyweight Championship action!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Heavyweight Championship ~ Viper with Toni Storm vs. Aja Kong with Awesome Kong

Both wrestlers exhibited their power early on, refusing to go down on the other’s attempts at "Shoulder Tackles." Viper went to hit the ropes but got caught by a vicious Kong "Clothesline," knocking her loopy. Kong dominated with her strikes, consistently halting Viper’s attempts at a comeback. Viper eventually took Kong down for the first time in the match, keeping her grounded with a "Senton" and "Splash." Kong came back with a huge "Backdrop Driver" and a devastating "Sheerdrop Brainbuster," but Viper kept kicking out. The "Spinning Backfist" and middle-rope "Back Elbow Drop" finally kept Viper down for the pinfall.

Winner and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales Heavyweight Champion = Aja Kong by pinfall in 17:13

Miceli: "Kong did it! The legend just added to her endless list of titles with this victory!"

Young: "What a showing from both ladies! Aja Kong is the ageless wonder!"

Santos: "Viper was a fantastic champion, but Aja Kong is almost unbeatable at her best!"

Miceli: "We'll take another break and return with our 'dream match' main event next!"

Miceli: "We're back and ready for action! Can Kairi Hojo climb the mountain once again and become the Women's Champion? Or, will Charlotte Flair keep the only championship 'The Four Horsewomen' have left?! Let's find out!"

Match Three ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Women's Championship ~ Charlotte Flair with "Lass Kicker" Becky Lynch vs. Kairi Hojo

Kairi Hojo was brilliant in this match. She unleashed everything in her arsenal against the athletic and "genetically superior" champion Flair. Charlotte got in her share of the offense, but Kairi seemed to have an answer for it all. Flair cinched in the "Figure Eight Leglock" at one point, but Kairi valiantly fought her way to the ropes. Hojo's comeback nearly did the champion in. Flair fell victim to the "Sliding D," which put her in perfect position for the vaunted "Diving Elbow Drop." Kairi covered and the fans were ready to erupt. At the count of two, Lynch reached in and grabbed Charlotte's foot, dragging her out of the ring and breaking up the count. Hojo and the referee berated Lynch as she scooped up a nearly lifeless Flair and walked toward the ramp as the referee continued to count. Hojo gave chase and knocked Lynch down, but could not get Charlotte back into the ring before they were counted out.

Winner = double countout in 26:19

Miceli: "Becky Lynch straight up saved Charlotte Flair's title reign! No question about it!"

Young: "That was blatant interference that kept Kairi from winning the title!"

Santos: "No doubt! She had Flair pinned!"

Miceli: "The crowd is voicing its disapproval! Wow! What a disappointing end to that match! Fans, we're out of time. 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'!"

As the credits were rolling, Kairi Hojo was battling all four "Horsewomen." Saki Kashima and "Fly Kicks" came to her rescue and the scene faded to black.
