"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 103 (Week 205)

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! Chicas, we've got a jam packed episode tonight! What's in store after Rosemary captured the Women's Championship last week?!"

Renee Young: "Duce, that's the question the world is pondering right now! What kind of chaos is 'The Hive' going to unleash on our company?!"

Melissa Santos: "This dark war Rosemary has her troops engaged in is scary, and they've targeted everyone--literally--from 'The Four Horsewomen' to 'Submission Magicians' to Impact Players' to 'The Dollhouse!' No one is safe!"

Madusa: "The possibilities are maddening! We have to brace for it, but we also have to forge ahead! Tonight, the World Tag Team Champions will be in the house! 'Sky Pirates' will take on our Tag Team Champions 'The IIconics' in a huge title defense! Also, GM Karlee Perez will give us an update on what will become of the Television Championship. Speaking of that, the reason the title is vacant is because of the heinous actions of Dakota Kai a few weeks back. She's here tonight in action against Hikaru Shida in what should be fantastic match! And, we'll start the night off with Jordynne Grace against 'The Hive's' Priscilla Kelly in a special challenge match stemming from a fight the two had in the locker room earlier today! Let's take you to that video!"

A video aired of a confrontation between Jordynne Grace and Priscilla Kelly in the arena back hallway, as Grace was having a photo shoot done. Kelly walked by and threw a red liquid onto Grace and declared, "We're marking our territory! The dark war has commenced!" Grace immediately went after Kelly and they brawled until Security broke them up. Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa made the match for tonight.

Madusa: "As you can see, 'The Hive' is marking territory. Will Jordynne Grace be one of their trophies?! Let's find out!"

Match One ~ Priscilla Kelly with "The Hivelings" (Alex Gracia, Kacy Catanzaro, Ariel Piper, Trcay Wayne, Karen Kreep, & Alexis Brooks) vs. Jordynne Grace with Tessa Blanchard

Priscilla came out wearing one of the Trios Championship belts.

Winner = Priscilla Kelly by submission in 15:04

Madusa: "Wow! A submission victory for Priscilla Kelly over the powerhouse Jordynne Grace!"

Young: "After 'The Hivelings' took out Tessa Blanchard, Jordynne was off her game!"

Santos: "Big win for Priscilla Kelly personally and 'The Hive' collectively!"

Madusa: "Fans, we'll take a break. We'll be back with more action in just a moment!"

Madusa: "We're back! As promised, GM Karlee Perez has made a decision about the vacant Television Championship! Let's take your to her office for this announcement!"

The scene shifted to the office of GM Karlee Perez, who had the NWA: Femme Fatales Television Championship belt on display.

Karlee Perez: "Good evening. As you can see, I have the Television Championship in front of me. I have pondered for a bit, and have come up with the scenario that will crown a new champion. In two weeks, we will have an eight-woman 'Gauntlet' match. The winner of the 'Gauntlet' will be the new champion. Next week, the eight participants will be revealed. Next Thursday, there will be four 'play-in' matches. Those winners will be in the 'Gauntlet' automatically. The other four participants have already been chosen and will be announced at the conclusion of the episode. So, tune in next week to see if your favorites make it in. Thank you."

Madusa: "A 'Gauntlet' will decide the new TV Champion! And, there will be four 'play-in' matches next week! That's exciting news! All right, fans! Let's go back to the ring for more action, and Dakota Kai's first match since turning on her best friend Nixon Newell!"

Match Two ~ Dakota Kai vs. Hikaru Shida

This was a very competitive match between two hard strikers. Shida used her martial arts training, while Dakota relied on her educated feet. They traded moves and counter moves for quite a while before Kai took the advantage after a miscue by Shida. Dakota worked Hikaru over for several minutes, then she set up for the "Kai-O Kick" in the corner. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Nixon Newell came flying in the ring and attacked her former friend.

Winner = Dakota Kai by disqualification in 17:12

The crowd roared as Nixon blasted Kai with several punches. Kai went down and Nixon readied for "The Shiniest Wizard." Newell went for it, but Dakota saw it coming and ducked out of the ring. Newell gave chase, but Dakota escaped through the crowd. Nixon was fired up as the fans gave her a huge ovation.

Madusa: "Nixon Newell tried to take Dakota Kai behind the woodshed!"

Young: "Nixon Newell is fired up! She wants revenge!"

Santos: "No one expected to see Nixon Newell here tonight, as she is awaiting medical clearance from the broken jaw and concussion Dakaota Kai gave her! But, she wasn't waiting tonight!"

Madusa: "Wow! Fans, we need to take another break. It's main event time when we return!"

Madusa: "We're back! Fans, Quinn McKay is backstage with our current Tag Team Champions, 'The IIconics,' who are set to challenge Kairi Hojo and Io Shirai for the World Tag Team Championship!"

Quinn McKay: "I am here with Billie Kay & Peyton Royce, who are about to have the biggest match of their lives against NWA World Women's Tag Team Champions 'Sky Pirates.' Ladies, what are your thoughts?"

Billie Kay: "'Sky Pirates!' What a ridiculous name!"

Peyton Royce: "Right?! It's like a third grader came up with that!"

Kay: "Quinn, we're supposed to believe that those two are the best tag team in the world?! You gotta be joking me! We weren't even in the match for the titles!"

Royce: "We're the best team in the world! We haven't had a chance to prove it until tonight! Those girls are going down, and your new World Tag team Champions finally will be..."

Both: "IIconic!"

McKay: "Madusa, back to you."

Madusa: "There you have it. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce never lack in confidence, claming they are the true best tag team in the world. Let's see if they can back it up!"

Match three ~ NWA World Women's Tag Team Championship ~ "Sky Pirates" ("Ōjo Kaizoku" Kairi Hojo & "Genius of the Sky" Io Shirai) with Manami Toyota vs. "The IIconics" (Billie Kay & Peyton Royce)

This match was more competitive than most people would have expected. Kay and Royce were making the most of their opportunity, really taking the fight to their championship adversaries. In fact, Io and Kairi both endured their share of punishment. the demands of traveling the globe night in and night out defending World Championships is a grueling task for anyone, even the two best female grapplers on the planet. However, the two joshi icons are as tough as nails and came roaring back. In the end, it was a stalemate in terms of momentum. It looked like Kay might hit her "Shades of Kay" on Io, but the latter ducked it and scooped Kay into a "Schoolgirl Roll" that got the surprise pin before Royce could make the save.

Winners and STILL NWA World Women's Tag Team Champions = "Sky Pirates" by pinfall in 22:27

Kay and Royce threw a tantrum in center ring until they saw this entrance video play:

Kay and Royce then hightailed it out of the ring as "The Hive" made its entrance. Hojo and Shirai stood their ground, joined by Manami Toyota. They were quickly overpowered by Rosemary's henchwomen. Suddenly, the ring filled with superstars, as "The Four Horsewomen," "Submission Magicians," and "Impact Players" all hit the ring. "The Hive" scattered. Charlotte and her crew gave a nod to Rousey and her bunch, acknowledging one another for the first time other than as mortal enemies. Blanchard and Grace continued to jaw at Rosemary and company. Hojo, Shirai, and Toyota recovered quickly and we had ourselves a standoff.

Madusa: "What a way to end tonight's episode! Look at the firepower in the ring! 'The Four Horsewomen' and Submission Magicians' in the ring together and not ripping each other's heads off?! That's a miracle! But, this is the new NWA: Femme Fatales, where adversaries come together for the common good to fight the dark war against Rosemary and 'The Hive!' What's going to happen next?! I guess you'll have to tune into TNT next Thursday for more Femme Fatales to find out! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa! Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"
