"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 98 (Week 195)

Before the traditional episode intro, Nixon Newell and Dakota Kai were seen entering the arena.

Dakaota Kai: "I am so happy for you. I mean, you won the TV Championship I failed to capture."

Nixon Newell: "Yeah, but it wasn't about that. She hurt you and I wanted revenge. Winning the title is just gravy."

Kai: "But, that presents us with a problem. You know they won't let you hold two belts at once. We're going to have to forfeit the Tag Titles."

Newell: "Not if I have anything to say about it."

Kai: "What is that supposed to mean?"

Newell: "I have a meeting with Karlee Perez and Yuzuki Aikawa in a few minutes. I've got a plan to bypass that rule. Have some faith."

The normal intro then aired.

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa. With me are Renee Young and Melissa Santos! Mommas, we have a stacked sixty minutes here tonight!"

Renee Young: "You said it, Duce! In what promises to be an epic encounter, Charlotte Flair will go one-on-one with Mayu Iwatani! That should be a classic against two top stars!"

Melissa Santos: "We'll also see the debut of Misao and Jordynne Grace has promised a friend will be here tonight!"

Miceli: "And, Heavyweight Champion Utami is back after a successful tour of Japan! Plus, this thing with 'Sadistic Tails' and Shida and Syuri is getting out of hand quickly! After the events of this past weekend in the tag team tournament, both teams have demanded another match tonight! It's been granted, but get this stipulation! The losing team must disband! All that and more! Fans, let's go to the ring to see the debut of Misao!"

Match One ~ Misao vs. Mina Shirakawa

Shirakawa has been considered a prodigy by her Japanese peers for how quickly she has picked up the sport. But, she was overwhelmed by the new and improved Misao, who was intense and ready for battle.

She made quick work of Mina. Misao finished Shirakawa off with a "Guillotine Choke."

Winner = Misao by submission in 5:08

Miceli: "That was impressive!"

Young: "Shirakawa is one of the bright young Bantamweight stars and she was just run through like a trainee!"

Santos: "Misao is dangerous! Look out for her!"

Miceli: Mmm hmm! Fans, let's take a quick break! We'll be back with more in just a moment!"

As the episode came back to air, the scene was backstage, where Nixon Newell was coming out of the executive offices.

Kai: "So, what did they say?! Do we get to keep the titles?!"

Newell: "Well, yes and no."

Kai: "Huh?!"

Newell: "They would not change the rule, but we also don't have to forfeit the titles. You get to keep your half and you get a replacement partner for me."

Kai: "A replacement?! We won these belts together! It's not 'Fly Kicks' without you and I!"

Newell: "Yes, I agree. But, this was the best compromise. Don't worry. I've been thinking about this already. And, I have the perfect partner for you!"

Kai: "Who?!"

Newell: "Well, it's a surprise. But, she just signed with the company and she'll be here next week! She's an old friend from the indy scene. Do you trust me?!"

Kai: "Yeah, but..."

Newell: "But nothing. I've got this! It's going to be great!"

Miceli: "So, Dakota Kai will have a new partner to defend the Tag Team Championship with! Wow! Fans, let's go back to the ring for our Heavyweight Champion Utami in action against the bodyguard of Britt Baker, Katya!"

Match Two ~ Utami vs. Katya with Dr. Britt Baker, DMD

Utami now holds a total of four championships after her recent tour. She captured the SWA Championship (recognized by Stardom) along with one-half of the Goddesses of Stardom (Tag Team) Championship. This adds to her collection, which also includes the Future of Stardom Championship and the NWA: Femme Fatales Heavyweight Championship. Katya is a lethal striker with a black belt in Brazilian Ju Jitsu and an extensive kickboxing background. At 6'5," she's an imposing sight in any combat sport. These two really went at it hard. Utami used her grappling strength to keep the larger Katya grounded. Katya used her long limbs to create defensive space, while still being able to strike Utami. In the end, Utami hit her "Torture Rack Bomb" and looked to have Katya put away. Britt Baker jumped into the ring to cause the DQ.

Winner = Utami by disqualification in 9:18

Baker and Katya went after Utami, who evaded them and escaped unscathed. Britt Baker threw a temper tantrum, then grabbed a microphone.

Britt Baker: "This is ridiculous! I am a doctor, a famous pro wrestler, and the girlfriend of the World Heavyweight Champion! Katya is a world class athlete in her own right! We deserve better than this! We deserve to be treated like the stars we are!"

Just then, this entrance video aired on the tron:

Miceli: "Tessa Blanchard is back?!"

Tessa stepped into the ring and got face-to-face with Baker.

Baker mouthed off at the third generation star, then slapped her across the face. Tessa then took Britt down and began to beat on her. Katya stepped in and attacked. After a few seconds of double teaming, Jordynne Grace ran to the ring and cleaned house. She helped Tessa to her feet and then hyped up the crowd. Jordynne could be heard yelling, "I told you!" Blanchard grabbed a microphone.

Tessa Blanchard: "Now, that's how a Blanchard makes an entrance! This girl told the world last week that she had a friend coming and that you'd know her when you saw her! Well, here I am, and together, Jordynne and I are 'Impact Players!' And, the game has just changed!"

Blanchard dropped the microphone and she and Grace posed and hyped the crowd once more before leaving the ring.

Miceli: "Oh my! Tessa Blanchard is back in NWA: Femme Fatales and she has formed a team with Jordynne Grace, apparently called 'Impact Players!'"

Young: "Tessa Blanchard looks phenomenal! She must have added twenty pounds of muscle since we saw her last!"

Santos: "Those are too bad chicas right there! The roster better look out!"

Miceli: "We have to go to another break. But, we'll keep trucking along in three minutes!"

Miceli: "We're back! Let me set up this next match for everyone. Last Thursday, what was supposed to be a friendly bout between former members of the dominant 'Joshi Mafia' stable, saw 'Sadistic Tails' defeat Hikaru Shida and Syuri. This past Saturday, the tournament to determine the NWA: Femme Fatales representative for the Women's World Tag team Championship 'Gauntlet' match at Spring Stampede was held and eventually won by 'Sky Pirates.' Congrats to them, by the way. But, my point is that 'Sadistic Tails' and Shida and Syuri both cost each other their respective first round matches. It seems that Shida and Syuri were not pleased at their loss and wanted a measure of revenge. Then, Kana and Mio gave a retort. Well, this thing has blown up over the course of the week, with both teams demanding to battle once again tonight. But, the challenge was issued and accepted for a pivotal stipulation. The loser of the match must disband as a team! Let's see how it all shakes out next!"

Match Three ~ Losing Team Must Disband ~ "Sadistic Tails" (Kana & Mio Shirai) vs. Hikaru Shida & Syuri

The friendship was out the window at the opening bell. Both teams fought their guts out, knowing that it would be their last match as a pairing. Both showed great toughness as they took each others' best shots. Ultimately, it was some misdirection that won the match. After a hard fought war, Mio kicked Syuri in the face, knocking her into Shida (the two cracked heads), who fell backward and into a "Schoolgirl Roll" by Kana for the pin.

Winners = "Sadistic Tails" by pinfall in 19:39 (Shida & Syuri must disband)

Miceli: "That's it for Hikaru Shida and Syuri! The decorated tag team is done! I never thought I'd see the day!"

Young: "What a way for it all to end, knocking into each other and losing with a 'roll-up' pin!"

Santos: "We knew something historic would happen once this match was over. Two of the most celebrated teams in Japan and abroad were putting their careers as a unit up. It's a shame either had to lose."

Miceli: "Wow! The end of an era. Where do Hikaru and Syuri go from here? All right. We're heading to break with our main event still to come! Stay with us!"

Miceli: "We're back! We've had so much go on tonight, we're running short on time. So, let's get this main event going right now!"

Match Four ~ Charlotte Flair with "The Man" Becky Lynch vs. Mayu Iwatani

This began as a fantastic stalemate, with both women exchanging "Armdrags," Hiptosses," and "Dropkicks." Both women got a standing ovation from the eager crowd. As they began to settle in, "The Four Horsewomen of MMA" hit the ring and began to destroy the three ladies at ringside.

Winner = no contest in 10:01

Miceli: "Ronda's Rousey's looking for retribution over that beating she took Saturday night!"

Mercedes KV and Bayley Rose hit the ring, but were taken out as well. "Fly Kicks" then hit the ring and helped "The Four Horsewomen" overtake their MMA arch nemeses. Dakota Kai got a measure of revenge over Shayna Baszler by knocking her off the apron with a thunderous "Kai-O Kick."

Miceli: "What a melee to end the program. We're all out of time! Fans, please join us again next Thursday on TNT for more Femme Fatales! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa! Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"

The brawl continued as the credits rolled.
