"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 111 (Week 222)

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, Halloween Havoc is this Sunday and we're going to war!"

Renee Young: "You said it, Duce! 'The Hive' will take on fifteen of NWA: Femme Fatales' best in 'Three Stages of War!'"

Melissa Santos: "It's time to put up or shut up for Rosemary and company in a fifteen-on-fifteen battle to the finish!"

Madusa: "But, that's not the only NWA: Femme Fatales representation at Havoc! As announced earlier this week by the NWA Board of Governors, someone from our company will challenge Makoto Sunday for the Women's World Championship! To that end, our GM is coming out to make a special announcement! Samantha (Smart), take it away!"

Samantha Smart: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome NWA: Femme Fatales General Manager, Karlee Perez."

Perez came out to a good reaction.

Karlee Perez: "As the world has heard by now, a member of this roster will have the next opportunity to dethrone the dominant NWA World Women's Champion Makoto this Sunday at Halloween Havoc. I have thought long and hard about how to decide the lady that will take that opportunity. I've reached this decision. Tonight, we will have an eight-woman 'Elimination' match. The last woman left standing will go on to Halloween Havoc. In fact, I am dedicating the entire episode to that match. So, as soon as I finish reading this list, we'll begin the entrances. Kairi Hojo, Io Shirai, Charlotte Flair, Toni Storm, Nixon Newell, Ronda Rousey, Tessa Blanchard, and Mayu Iwatani, congratulations, you will fight it out for the right to represent this company on Sunday!"

Rosemary came out with a vengeance.

Rosemary: "Now, you didn't think that you would have a battle of such significance without the best fighting machine on this plane involved, now did you, child?"

Perez: "The decision has been made. 'The Hive' has done nothing but cheat its way to victory since day one. None of you belong in this match!"

Rosemary: "We know why you don't want us in that ring. You understand that our involvement means another victory for the shadow. 'The Hive' cannot be stopped, so you refuse to allow us to be a part of this charade. You'll be sorry."

The eight ladies scheduled for the match all came out in unison. Ronda Rousey had a microphone.

Ronda Rousey: "Hey Karlee, everyone standing here wants a piece of that b****! Let her in!"

Perez: "Very well. The majority has spoken. Rosemary, you're in the match and it's now a nine-way 'Elimination.' But, 'The Hive' and all other seconds are banned from ringside! Ring the bell."

Match One ~ "Elimination" match ~ Rosemary vs. Kairi Hojo vs. Io Shirai vs. Nixon Newell vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Toni Storm vs. "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey vs. Tessa Blanchard vs. Mayu Iwatani

This match was near perfection. For the first fifteen minutes, there were no falls scored. After that, in rapid succession, three falls were scored. Mayu Iwatani hit Io Shirai with her "Snap Dragon Suplex." Before the referee could complete the count, Kairi Hojo launched herself from the top rope with a "Diving Elbow Drop." That got the first pin of the night.

Mayu Iwatani was eliminated.

Less than a minute later, Tessa got caught in Rousey's "Armbar" and had to tap out.

Tessa Blanchard was eliminated.

Moments after that, Toni Storm nailed Rousey with "Storm Zero."

Ronda Rousey was eliminated.

Several minutes went by with much warring, but no falls. Finally, Charlotte Flair trapped Storm in her "Figure Eight Leglock." Toni had no escape and no one was coming to her rescue, so she had to tap out.

Toni Storm was eliminated.

Hojo and Shirai were working as a team to watch one another's backs. The plan was functioning perfectly until Dark Allie appeared on the tron holding the NWA Women's World Tag Team Championship belts. She began to taunt them. Both Japanese legends started yelling at Allie in their natives tongue. Rosemary snuck up behind Io with a "Schoolgirl Roll." She grabbed a huge handful of Shirai's ring attire and held on for the tainted pinfall.

Io Shirai was eliminated.

Kairi turned around in shock as she saw the third count. Hojo backed Rosemary in the corner and then began to wail on her. She began to violently choke Rosemary in the conrer. The referee tried to stop her, but Kairi had gone off the rails. She was disqualified for ignoring the referee's please for a break.

Kairi Hojo was eliminated.

Kairi and Io viciously attacked Rosemary. Io hit her vaunted "Moonsault" and Kairi followed up with a "Diving Elbow Drop." Rosemary was all but out and rolled to the floor. Kairi and Io had to be escorted to the back by Security.

This left Charlotte and Nixon inside the ring to fight it out. They had a sensational exchange for several minutes while Rosemary was convalescing on the outside. Nixon began to get the better of the struggle. She ducked Flair's attempt at a "Yakuza Kick" and landed a "Super Kick" of her own. Charlotte was nearly out on her feet. She dropped to her knees. Nixon saw her opening and went in for the kill. She hit "The Shiniest Wizard" on Flair. Rosemary then sprang into the ring and shoved Nixon through the ropes, pinning Flair herself.

Charlotte Flair was eliminated.
