"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 82 (Week 164)

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're coming off a live broadcast last week and the huge announcement of the 'Manami Classic' tournament!"

Renee Young: "It was such a privilege to be a part of the bracketology special with Mauro Ranallo! This is going to be a historic tournament!"

Melissa Santos: "It's such a great time to be a fan of women's wrestling! The evolution is in full swing!"

Miceli: "As we saw last week, 'The Four Horsewomen' of Femme Fatales went two and one against 'The Four Horsewomen of MMA." But, every single match was controversial. So, we really didn't see either team establish clear dominance. In the main event, Charlotte Flair successfully defended the Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey after interference from Io Shirai. Well, that didn't sit too well with Ronda. She vowed to 'make it right' here tonight. No telling what that might mean."

Suddenly, this entrance video aired on the tron:

Ronda Rousey came out with a purpose. She was flanked by the rest of "The Four Horsewomen of MMA."

Ronda Rousey: "Last week, I had Charlotte Flair beat! I should be standing her with the Women's Championship around my waist! But, that moment was ruined by Io Shirai! Well Io, if you can understand English, understand this! I'm going to beat up and break your arm! I want you in a match!"

This entrance video played next.

Io Shirai came out with Manami Toyota to the entrance ramp.

Io Shirai: "You want me?! Okay rookie! How about tonight?!"

Rousey: "How about right now?!"

Rousey and her crew started toward the ramp, but were met by "The Four Horsewomen" of Femme Fatales. An all-out war erupted. Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa quickly sent out the Security force, which separated the two camps.

Yuzuki Aikawa: "Enough! You will not ruin this episode! Ronda, Io, if you want to fight, you two will do it in our main event! But, everyone else is banned from ringside!"

Miceli: "Whoa! What a situation we have brewing out here, but we just got a stellar main event call out of it! Ronda Rousey will battle Io Shirai one-on-one tonight! Oh baby! That will be epic! Fans, we had a couple of matches scheduled, so I guess we'll squeeze it all in! Let's go to the ring for the first match-up!"

Match One ~ "The Apocalypse" ("Death Machine" Jessicka Havok & KillHer Bea) vs. "Absolution" ("Golden Goddess" Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville)

For the fans of heavy strikes, kicks, and otherwise clobbering, this was the match to see. These four landed strike after strike, with very little chain wrestling. It was methodical and brutal. Both teams had moments of dominance. Sonya Deville took several minutes of punishment, as did Bea. In the end, the referee couldn't control the action in the ring. All four brawled into the crowd as the match disintegrated.

Winners = double countout in 11:52

Miceli: "Those four may have been going against each other for the first time ever, but you couldn't tell it!"

Young: "exactly! This looked like a blood feud from the opening bell!"

Santos: "They were like four brahma bulls fighting for dominance!"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll take a break. When we return, Priscilla Kelly defends the TV Championship!"

As the episode came back to air, the four combatants from match one were fighting backstage. Security came in and broke it up.

Miceli: "Man! Security is earning their money here tonight! What an explosive episode so far! It's only going to get more fired up as we go! In our next match, Priscilla Kelly is defending the Television Championship against Mayu Iwatani! This should be great!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Television Championship ~ Priscilla Kelly with "Zombie Girl" Maho Kurone vs. Mayu Iwatani with Saki Kashima

This was an instant classic. Kelly was at her sultry, unpredictable best. Mayu was on her game as well. Her athleticism and quickness was on full display. Iwatani started the match with a couple of "Planchas" to the outside that got things going her way. She followed up "German Suplexes" that nearly won it for her. Kelly eventually gained the upper hand thanks to a distraction by Kurone. She worked over Mayu's head and neck, looking to weaken her for "The Long Kiss Goodnight" ("Dragon Sleeper"). Mayu began to show signs of fatigue. Kelly went in for the kill. She cinched in "The Long Kiss Goodnight." Mayu instantly began to writhe in pain and gasped for air. She tried punching at Kelly, to no avail. Mayu was in the center of the ring, so getting to the ropes was not a viable option. She started to fade. At the last possible second, she bridged and flipped her body onto Kelly's and ended up with a pinning combination. Kelly kicked out at two, realizing she was a fraction of a second from losing her title. The match wore on with Mayu suddenly getting her second wind. She kicked it back into high gear as the match went into the nineteenth minute. Mayu hit a "Missile Dropkick" that turned the champion inside out. With less than thirty seconds left in the time limit. Mayu called for the "Snap Dragon Suplex." She got Kelly into position, but Priscilla began to struggle. They tussled as several precious seconds ticked away. Iwatani then hit several forearm shots to Kelly's back, then locked her in. The announcer was counting down the last few seconds as Mayu finally hit the "Snap Dragon Suplex." The referee slid into to position and started the count, but the bell rang just as she hit the mat for two.

Winner = time limit draw in 20:00 (Kelly retains)

Miceli: "Priscilla Kelly escapes with the draw! She was down for the count!"

Kurone dragged a dazed Kelly out of the ring. Mayu grabbed a microphone.

Mayu Iwatani: "Five more minutes!"

The crowd swelled with a "Five more minutes!" (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap) chant. Kelly looked like she might oblige, but then dropped back down off the mat and clutched her title belt as she and Kurone walked away.

Miceli: "I guess we won't get those five more minutes. So, Priscilla Kelly lives to defend her title for another day! Fans, let's take a break! That big main event is next!"

when the episode came back to air, there was a split screen showing both "Four Horsewomen" locker rooms. Security forces surrounded each. They let Io Shirai and Ronda Rousey out for their entrances, then shut the doors on the rest of their entourages.

Miceli: "Well, the Commish wasn't kidding about making sure everyone stays away from ringside! Man, this match already has a big fight feel, even though we just found out about it at the top of the program! Let's get it on!"

Match Three ~ "The Ace" Io Shirai vs. "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey

Rousey began to throw hands immediately, backing Io into the corner with rapid strikes. Io tried to block and backpedal, but she was caught in the line of fire. Rousey then rag dolled Shirai with two Judo "Hiptosses," which also wrenched her arm, an obvious set-up to her dangerous "Armbar." Shirai bailed to the floor, but Rousey followed. Shirai hit the ring. As Rousey tried to reenter, she was cut off by Io, who went to work. This is where Io's wrestling experience began to show over the rookie Rousey. Ronda absorbed several minutes of punishment, but earned her moniker as "the baddest woman on the planet" by shrugging off Shirai's offense and mounting a comeback. She went for a "Spear" that nailed Io, but also clipped the referee. Shirai was able to dump Rousey to the outside and then hit a "Suicide Dive" through the ropes. As she celebrated on the floor, someone in a black hoodie came from the crowd and drove her should first into the steel ring steps. The assailant jumped over the barricade and disappeared into the crowd, but not before pulling off the hood to reveal Mio Shirai. Rousey saw all of this and took advantage of it. She threw Io into the ring and immediately locked in her "Armbar" as the referee was regaining her senses. The damage from the steel steps, coupled with Rousey's fierce jerking back of her arm and shoulder was too much for Shirai to handle. She had to tap out.

Winner = Ronda Rousey by submission in 15:48

Miceli: "Mio Shirai just got some revenge against her sister for the betrayal several weeks back!"

Young: "I guess Mio never forgets!"

Santos: "She gave a big lift to Ronda Rousey by targeting Io's arm, making it easy pickings for Rousey's 'Armbar!'"
