"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 101 (Week 201)

Madusa: "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, the landscape around here has changed drastically after our two hundredth episode last week!"

Renee Young: "You aren't kidding, Duce! Ronda Rousey and her crew are no longer recognized as 'The Four Horsewomen of MMA!' Since they lost 'War Games,' they lost the right to use that name ever again!"

Melissa Santos: "They've already come up with a new name. Now, they're to be known as 'Submission Magicians!' Rousey said on Twitter that they'll either choke you out or tap you out!"

Madusa: "Well, Jessamyn Duke was the one doing the tapping last week, as she was tied up in a pretzel knot by Mercedes KV and Becky Lynch! I'd have given up too! Speaking of Lynch, 'The Man' will defend the Bantamweight Championship against 'Hollywood" Jurina tonight! In our main event, we have a huge ten-woman tag, as 'The Hive' will battle 'Impact Players' and 'Team Kick!' But first, we have a tag team match that will determine the next challengers for the Bantamweight Tag team Championship! Let's go to the ring!"

Match One ~ "Team Crazy Cute" (Maki Itoh & Mizuki) vs. Mina Shirakawa & Yuki Kamifuku

This rivalry has gone on for months, as long as Shirakawa has been in the company. Itoh is obsessed with besting Mina and has not stopped pursuing her. Shirakawa and her best friend Yuki, our Japanese Translator and Interviewer, have fought Itoh and Mizuki off valiantly to this point. This match would turn the tide for Itoh, however. She finally got the monkey off her back with a "Texas Cloverleaf" submission that made Mina tap out.

Winners = "Team Crazy Cute" by submission in 10:08

After the match, Shirakawa extended her hand in respect to Itoh. Maki shunned and instead flipped Mina off.

Madusa: "Maki Itoh finally beat Mina Shirakawa! And, what a time to do it!"

Young: "That was clutch! Now, 'Team Crazy Cute' will get a title shot next week!"

Santos: "If Maki Itoh and Mizuki ever needed a victory to bolster their confidence, it was tonight!"

Madusa: "Yep! Fans, we need to take a break! When we return, Becky Lynch puts the Bantamweight Championship on the line!"

Madusa: "We're Back! Fans, before we got to the ring, we have a pre-taped vignette from 'House of Couture.' This is their first appearance since Laura Cruz joined them. Let's see what Jinny and company have to say."

A pre-taped video aired of "House of Couture" in a very stately sitting room.

Jinny Couture: "Before we go any further, let's address the question that's been on everyone's minds recently. Yes, this lovely British Amazon beside me (camera pans to Laura Cruz) has made the best career decision ever and has joined Nina and I to form an unbeatable alliance. This woman was being wasted in backstage interview segments when she should have been dominating opponents in the ring! Oh, and by the way, she was saddled with that ridiculous gimmick. 'Locker Room Lovely' Laura Cruz?! Come on! From now on, she'll be known by her real name, Heidi Katrina! And, her interviewing days are over. Heidi is officially on the active roster! 'House of Couture' is complete, now it's on to bigger business. Since I am the 'Fashionista' of NWA: Femme Fatales, I know a thing or two about accessories. And, what's a lady's finest accessory? Gold, of course. But, we're not talking about just any sort of gold. 'House of Couture' is ready to take some championship gold. In fact, we're going to start next week when Nina Samuels goes one-on-one with that twit Toni Storm and captures the NWA Intercontinental Women's Championship! After that, who knows? We may come for 'The Hive' and those Trios Championships. Or, it could be 'The Horsewomen' and the Impact Tag Team Championship. Better still, we might just come after 'The IIconics' and take the Tag Team Championship from them. Perhaps, it will be Ronda Rousey and the number one prize in this company. Either way, 'House of Couture' is not just here to make everyone in NWA: Femme Fatales fashion forward. We're here to collect some hardware. Now, if you'll excuse us, it's tea time."

Madusa: "So, Laura Cruz is now Heidi Katrina and Nina Samuels will challenge for the IC Title against Toni Storm next week! That should be a great match! All right folks, 'The Man' is set to defend her Bantamweight kingdom against the newest member of 'Dasu Vaders' and perennial contender, 'Hollywood' Jurina!"

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Championship ~ "The Man" Becky Lynch vs. "Hollywood" Jurina with Octopus Suda

Lynch was the clear crowd favorite in this one. Jurina used to be beloved, but after the way she joined the hated "Dasu Vaders" and double-crossed Miracle Shizuka, she is getting plenty of boos now. Lynch has really come into her own as "The Man," the self-professed leader of the Bantamweight division, which she said needed someone of her caliber to legitimize it. Midway through the match, all of "Dasu Vaders" came down to the ring. They quickly were met by the rest of "The Four Horsewomen," who all still bear the scars of battle from last week's hellacious "War Games" match. With a stalemate outside the ring, the focus went back to the inside, where Jurina had gained an advantage. She attempted her "Destino" finisher on Lynch, but Becky caught Jurina and nailed a "Becksloder Suplex," which set her up for "DisArm Her." "Hollywood," trapped in center ring, had no choice but to tap out.

Winner and STILL NWA: Femme Fatales Bantamweight Champion = Becky Lynch by submission in 15:22

Madusa: "Becky wins again! She's on a roll!"

Young: "The last few months have been straight fire for 'The Man!'"

Santos: "Becky Lynch has said she owns the Bantamweight division. Well, she proved it tonight against a very tough opponent in 'Hollywood' Jurina!"

Madusa: "We have to go to another commercial break. When we return, it's main event time and a ten-woman battle! Stay with us!"

Madusa: "We're back! Fans, Charly Caruso is backstage with 'Team Kick' and 'Impact Players' ahead of the main event. Charles, what say you?!"

Charly Caruso: "Thank you, Duce. I am here with Nixon Newell, Dakota Kai, and Alexia Nicole, collectively known as 'team Kick,' and their partners for the evening, Tessa Blanchard and Jordynne Grace, 'Impact Players.' You are set to go against 'The Hive' in our main event. My question to all of you is, can you coexist as a team against a deadly force like Rosemary and her minions?"

It appeared as if Dakota Kai had something to say, but an exuberant Nixon Newell chimed in.

Nixon Newell: "You know Charly, we don't necessarily get along with Tessa and Jordynne, but that doesn't matter tonight. What matters is the task at hand, and that's beating 'The Hive.' They've been running roughshod around here for too long and it needs to stop!"

Tessa Blanchard: "That's one thing we all can agree on. Look, we don't like them and they don't like us. That's the wrestling business in a nutshell. But, the bottom line is that we all were attacked last week. That means we have a common enemy. None of us like 'The Hive.' That's enough of a bond for us to step in the ring with these girls tonight and take care of business. From bell-to-bell, we'll hold up our end of the bargain, as long as these girls can get along."

Blanchard and Grace walked away as Newell, Kai, and Nicole were left standing in deference to that last statement.

Newell: "We're together, Charly. Believe that!"

Caruso: "Back to you, Madusa."

Madusa: "All right! We waited all hour for it! Let's go to the ring!"

Match Three ~ "The Hive" (Rosemary, Priscilla Kelly, Dark Allie, Sienna the Savage, & Alex Gracia with Saraya Knight, Ariel Piper, Tracy Wayne, Karen Kreep, and Alexis Brooks) vs. "Team Kick" (Nixon Newell, Dakota Kai, & Alexia Nicole) and "Impact Players" (Tessa Blanchard & Jordynne Grace)

Our heroes and reluctant partners in the match worked well together, for the most part. Outside of stealing a few blind tags, they seemed to function as a unit with a common goal. "The Hive" was chaotic and cerebral, as usual. Rosemary is a master manipulator and mind game aficionado. She continued to spellbind her opponents, as often is the case. Dakota Kai got the hot tag from Blanchard and she came in ready to clean house. Kai supplied a plenteous array of kicks for each of her opponents. Kai then hit her "Kai-ropractor" on Gracia and looked poised for the victory. She went for the pin, but was knocked off by a kick to the head from Sienna. As Kai attempted to regain her senses, Nixon tagged in and nailed Sienna with a "Running Dropkick." She then hit Gracia with "The Shiniest Wizard." As Newell went to cover, the minions rolled into the ring to cause the DQ.

Winners = "Team Kick" and "Impact Players" by disqualification in 20:34

Madusa: "They had it won, but 'The Hivelings' had to jump in! It's the numbers game!"

Young: "That's how they've stayed so dominant! Rosemary has infiltrated the minds of so many, she has a massive army, here and in NWA: SWAT now!"

Santos: "It's nearly impossible to beat them, because there's never a one-on-one opportunity with 'The Hivelings' roaming around outside the ring!"

"The Hive" left ringside with Rosemary vowing, "The dark war is far from over! we've only just begun!"

"Impact Players" left rather quickly after that, acknowledging that their jobs for the night were done. This left Newell, Kai, and Nicole in the ring to soak up the cheers. Nixon hugged Alexia, then went over to Dakota and embraced her. Newell then went to the corner and stood on the ropes to celebrate with fans. The next few seconds caused a near riot in the building. As soon as Nixon hopped down from the ropes in the corner, she was met with a vicious "Kai-O Kick" from Dakota that nearly took her head off. Nixon was knocked unconscious and slumped down into the corner. The crowd was flabbergasted at Dakota's betrayal. Alexia Nicole was almost paralyzed in shock. She knelt down beside the out cold Nixon Newell with eyes as big as saucers while Dakota slid out of the ring.

Madusa: "Oh my Lord! What the h*** just happened?! Dakota! What are you thinking?!"

Young: "Dakota Kai just flipped her lid! She just kicked Nixon Newell square in the face with malice in her heart!"

Santos: "That was betrayal of the highest order if I've ever seen it!"

Kai back slowly up the entrance ramp, never taking her eyes off the lifeless body of Nixon Newell inside the ring.

Madusa: "Fans, I don't what to say. Dakota Kai has just stabbed her best friend in the back and she's just broken the hearts of everyone in the arena, including us. I have nothing left to say. We're out of time. Please join us next Thursday on TNT for more Femme Fatales. For Renee and Melissa, I'm Madusa. Good night."

As the episode was going off air, you could faintly hear Madusa blurt out, "Un-freaking-believable."

The last image on the screen was one of Dakota Kai standing at the top of the entrance ramp with arms outstretched and a sinister scowl across her face as fans showered down a thunderous chorus of boos.
