"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 99 (Week 198)

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! Girls, we're getting closer and closer to 'War Games!' And, tonight we find out which team will have the advantage throughout!"

Renee Young: "Duce, you said it! Ronda Rousey will step into the ring against Charlotte Flair! Last time that happened, Ronda nearly got caned to death!"

Melissa Santos: "She'll be looking for revenge and that all important advantage!"

Miceli: "That'll be our main event, but we have other great action as well! 'Impact Players' have challenged 'The Hive' to a match after the backstage attack last week! And, we'll start the night off with six-woman action in another grudge match! Let's go to the ring!"

Match One ~ "Dasu Vaders" (Octopus Suda, "Hollywood" Jurina Matsui, & Guigui Nakanishi with Shiroma Miru) vs. Miracle Shizuka, The Starlight Kid, & Saki Kashima

This was a fast-paced puro match with both teams having shining moments. Shiroma Miru proved to be a valuable distraction on the outside and she set up the long advantage her team had with a timely trip. Kid was pummeled for quite some time before tagging in Shizuka. The match broke down from there, with all six women battling it out. The referee lost control and finally rang the bell.

Winners = double disqualification in 11:39

After the bell rang, Miru jumped in and assisted her stable mates in a beating. Mayu Iwatani ran down and evened the odds. Eventually, "Dasu Vaders" retreated.

Miceli: "That was a hot and heavy opener!"

Young: "I guess the Bantamweight division is banding together to take out 'Dasu Vaders!'"

Santos: "'Dasu Vaders' ran roughshod over the division for a long time! Now that they've kicked Miracle Shizuka to the curve, they are finding out they have many enemies!"

Miceli: "Becky Lynch may be the Bantamweight Champion, but 'Dasu Vaders' are everyone's target in the division right now! And, Miracle Shizuka has more friends than they bargained for! Fans, let's take a break. We'll be back with more action in three minutes!"

As the episode returned to air, Nixon Newell and Alexia Nicole were walking behind Dakota Kai, who had a perturbed look on her face.

Nixon Newell: "Dakota! How many times do we have to apologize?! Understand what was happening! 'The Hive' attacked us!"

Alexia Nicole: "We had no choice but to defend ourselves!"

Dakota Kai: "Look! All I know is that I was left high and dry out there last week and now the Tag Team Titles are gone!"

Newell: "Okay, okay! We've argued enough the last week. We have to get it together!"

Nicole: "Yeah. Let's remember who caused all this...'The Hive!'"

Newell: "Right! I say we kick their teeth in first, then you two can take back the Tag Team Titles!"

Kai: "Fine! We'll take on 'The Hive,' but you two better be there when I need you."

Newell: "We've got your back!"

Nicole: "Always!"

Newell: "Let's go get that match signed!"

Miceli: "We're back! It looks like the new and improved 'Fly Kicks' are on a mission to take out 'The Hive!' Well, they'll have to wait in line, because 'Impact Players' have their chance right now!"

Match Two ~ "The Hive" (Dark Allie & Priscilla Kelly with Rosemary, Sienna the Savage, Alex Gracia, Saraya Knight, Ariel Piper, Kacy Catanzaro, Tracy Wayne, Kreepy Karen, & Alexis Brooks) vs. "Impact Players" (Tessa Blanchard & Jordynne Grace)

Kelly and Allie were sadistic together. They worked over Blanchard with various chokes and other double teams in the corner as Grace looked on helplessly from the corner. "The Hivelings" and Rosemary provided several distractions for the referee, which allowed Allie and Priscilla to further damage Tessa. Once Blanchard tagged in Jordynne Grace, the tide turned. Grace used her awesome power to toss her opponents to and fro. Rosemary and company continued to try and interfere. They were thwarted by the trio of Nixon Newell, Dakota Kai, and Alexia Nicole, who turned the tables on them by attacking and driving them away from ringside. This allowed Tessa and Jordynne to nail their finisher, "Sudden Impact" ("Double Slingshot Powerbomb"), on Kelly for the win.

Winners = "Impact Players" by pinfall in 15:03

Blanchard and Grace celebrated the big win.

Miceli: "Great win for Tessa and Jordynne and a huge assist from 'Fly Kicks!'"

Young: "Finally, somebody turned the tables on 'The Hive!'"

Santos: "Rosemary will not be pleased!"

Miceli: "Nope, and the dark war may have taken a hit tonight! Fans, we'll take another break. Catch you on the flip side!"

Miceli: "We're back and ready for action! Our main event is coming up, but first check out this feature on newcomer Misao!"

A video package aired of Misao training. She then spoke with subtitles, explaining the art of war and her transformation. Misao explained that she is the "Hyper Ninja," as she dubbed herself. Misao stated that the entire roster has been put on notice that she will strike when they least expect it, in true ninja form.

Miceli: "I still cannot believe the amazing transformation of Misao! She's a dangerous one! All right fans, it's main event time! Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey will fight it out for the one-woman advantage in 'War Games!'"

Match Three ~ "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey with "Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler vs. Charlotte Flair with "The Man" Becky Lynch

Rousey stalked the ring while Flair came strutting out in all her glory.

Ronda brutalized Charlotte early on, exacting some revenge for the kendo stick beating she received at Flair's hands recently. Flair took control after the early going and had Rousey where she wanted her. Lynch kept Baszler at bay for the most part. The middle portions of the match were back-and-forth. Flair had Ronda neutralized, but she kept coming back with her toughness. Toward the end, Charlotte trapped Rousey in the "Figure Eight Leglock." It looked like Ronda would tap out, but Shayna managed to knock Flair's bridged arms out from underneath her while the referee's back was turned (asking Ronda if she conceded). Lynch jumped Baszler after that and they fought at ringside. Rousey was able to drag herself to the ropes for a break. Flair let go, but immediately went after Ronda in the corner. Ronda scooped Flair up and covered her with a "Jackknife Pin." Ronda posted her feet against the bottom rope so she could not be kicked off. The referee could not see it from her vantage point.

Winner = Ronda Rousey by pinfall in 23:22

Miceli: "Ronda Rousey stole one from Charlotte Flair there!"

Y0ung: "She stole the match and now the one-woman advantage for 'War Games!'"

Santos: "No matter how Rousey came by it, that victory looms large ahead of 'War Games!'"

Miceli: "Yes, it does!"

Rousey and Baszler celebrated as they backpedaled up the aisle. Charlotte sat on her knees in center ring as Lynch knelt beside her.

Miceli: "Fans, that's all the time we have for this week! 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'!"
