Single H's music hits

[JBL]
Speaking of Single H, let's see what the Number 1 Seed has to say.

Single H gets in the ring and grabs a microphone.

[Single H]

We are just four nights away from the most important event in the League's history.

Four nights away from determining the Main Event of FantasyMania.

And I've been in this league since the very beginning.... I've never missed a FantasyMania.

I have won 3 League Championships.

And this year, I plan on winning my 4th.

This year, I plan on reestablishing my name in this League and cementing myself as the greatest WCC Superstar this league has ever seen.

[Single H]
This Sunday at FantasyMania, I take on the current WCC Champion, Dolph Riggler.
And I give the kid credit, he's proven a lot of doubters wrong.
He's managed to make it into the Final Four... but let me tell you something rook, it only gets harder.
I've been through it all, this Sunday will be my 10th FantasyMania match and I think it's safe to say that I know what I'm doing. Dolph... I want you to think about what you're getting yourself into...
I want you to realize that when you step in the ring with The Game....

Single H is cut off by Dealmus' music

[JBL]
Wait a minute Michael... it's What's Your Deal's other character... Dealmus!
And Single H doesn't look too happy to see him.

Dealmus gets into the ring.

[Dealmus]
Listen here Fella, what makes you think you're facing Dolph Riggler this Sunday?
What makes you think you deserve a title shot more than I do?
I've played half the games in your place this season.
I deserve to be at FantasyMania just as much as you do.

[Single H]
Maybe the fact that I am the 3 time League Champion.
Maybe the fact that I have the best FantasyMania record in league history...
Maybe the fact that I am The Game and I am that DAMN good...

[Dealmus]
All of that is in the past.... I closed out the season strong.
I am the future of this league... and we all know you lost your last FantasyMania match.
And fella, between you and me.... I'm the one that actually beat Dolph Riggler in Week 9.
I have every right to be competing on the grandest stage of them all...

[Single H]
Let's face it Dealmus.... you're boring.
I'm the real character. I'm the one these fans want to see...
Nobody cares about The Great White....
They came to see me...

Stephaneah McMahon's music hits.

[Cole]
Wait a minute!
It's the Chief Brand Officer of West Coast Cousins!
Stephaneah McMahon!

*Crowd Cheers*

Stephaneah grabs a microphone and enters the ring.

[Stephaneah]
Single H, what do you think you're doing?
You have been out of action in the WCC for 7 weeks and you want to suddenly jump into FantasyMania? You want to put your life in jeopardy to play Fantasy Football?
No Single H, your playing days are over.
It's time to embrace your role as Chief Operating Officer of the WCC.

*Crowd Boos*

Single H does not look happy.

[Stephaneah]
Dealmus is more than capable of playing Fantasy Football at a high level, and I think it's time you passed the torch to him.
Single H, you are a 3 time League Champion, and you have nothing left to prove...

[Single H]
NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE?!
Last season, I suffered my very first loss at FantasyMania.
And this season, I was in a serious incident that nearly ended my career...
Stephaneah, I have everything to prove.
I have to prove to the world and to myself, that I can still do this.
I am still on top of my game.
Last year, I was beaten by The Crock. My run for my 4th consecutive League Championship came to an end. But I'll tell you right now.... I will win my 4th title.
And not only that....
With the elimination of Chuckanut, I am the only Seattle Superstar left in the league.
I will not allow someone from the San Francisco Division to win this league.
The League Championship must remain in the Pacific Northwest...
And there's only one person that I trust to do just that....
ME!

[Stephaneah]
I'd figured you wouldn't listen to me.
And I know that I can't convince you on my own...
So maybe he can....

Shawn Michael's music hits.

[JBL]
Wait a minute! It's Mr. FantasyMania himself! The Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels!

[HBK]

What's Your Deal man?

Single H, you're my best friend.

And I'm telling you as a friend, we've had our run.

We've played Fantasy Football at the highest of levels... and we've done some amazing things.

But all good things must come to an end.

I don't want to see you get hurt out there.

I don't want you to be playing Fantasy Football from a wheelchair one day...

I'm just looking out for your best interest.

You're not the Cerebral Sandwich anymore.

I know it hurts your pride...

To have your career come to an end the way it did...

But you've got nothing left to prove.

[Single H]
I'm not gonna let the last image of me... the last memory of my career.
My legacy... to be of me falling 20 feet in the air from a falling car.
No. I retire on my terms.
I can fulfill my duties as Chief Operating Officer and as a Superstar in this league.
I can still do this.
I can win my 4th title.

[Single H]
But just to prove it to ya...
And to give you an opportunity, Dealmus.
I say you and I settle this tonight.
You and me. One on one.
Winner goes to FantasyMania to face Dolph Riggler for the WCC Championship.
What do you say?

[Dealmus]
Deal.

[Cole]
Oh my! What a main event we have in store tonight!
What such high stakes... winner goes to FantasyMania!
Dealmus vs. Single H!

The camera cuts to John Seana is found walking backstage.

Seana is stopped by Paul Heyman.

[Heyman]
John, I'm so glad I ran into you...
I know we've had our differences.. and I know you eliminated my client Nyback from the WCC Playoffs, but I have a bit of a proposal for you...
CM PUP has to be stopped.
I cannot allow him win the League Championship.
This Sunday... say the word and you have The Shield at your disposal.
We can take out CM PUP and stop him from leaving this league with the Championship.

[Seana]
Paul, that's a very intriguing offer.
And you're right. CM PUP has to be stopped.
I love this league too much to let him walk away with the WCC Championship.
But I'm not gonna do things your way.
We do things my way.
Your way got your client eliminated.
I'll stop CM PUP fair and square.
Because these fans.... they deserve a true Champion.

[Heyman]
You truly are incorruptible, aren't you, huh?
You won't accept my help out of some misplaced self-righteousness and blind allegiance to these fans.... But John, what happens when the fans turn on you?

[Seana]
You're garbage that attack people for fun.
I won't stand for it.
The WCC Universe is all I've got.
And if I lose this Sunday without your help, at least I'll know in my heart that I tried my very best and I didn't sell out.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a contract signing to go to.

Seana leaves as Heyman looks on.

John Seana and CM PUP Contract Signing Next!

[Cole]
Welcome back to Wednesday Night Preview, the longest running episodic television program in Fantasy Football history.
We now return for the Semi-Final Contract Signing between CM PUP and John Seana!

[Laurinaitis]
My name is Mr. John Laurinaitis and I am the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and the League Commissioner for both Seattle and San Francisco.

*Crowd Boos*

[Laurinaitis]
We are here tonight to sign the contract between John Seana and CM PUP to make this Second Round matchup official.
Introducing first... the 5th Seed.... John Seana!

*Crowd is Mixed*

[Laurinaitis]
And his opponent... the Number 2 Seed, CM PUP!

*Crowd Cheers*

Laurinaitis stands between the two opponents

[Laurinaitis]
Now as you can see, everything is in order for the match.
It'll be a Singles Match, with all the normal rules and regulations...
All that is needed is your signature.
So sign here and shake hands.

[CM PUP]
You want me to sign right here?
You don't want me to read this, Mr. Commissioner?
You aren't trying to trick me into signing a contract extension, are you?
How stupid do you think I am, Johnny?

[Laurinaitis]
No, PUP. It's a standard match contract.
I would never...

[CM PUP]
Oh... wait... what's this right here?
Article 5, "By signing this contract, you agree to sign up Fantasy Football in this League for another 3 years with no guaranteed money and agree to attend Be A Star Campaigns throughout the year."
What were you saying? This isn't a contract extension?

[Laurinaitis]
Alright. You got me, PUP.
It is a contract extension... But I know in your heart, you want to stay here in the WCC.
You know that the competition in this league is unparallelled.
This is the highest level of Fantasy Football, and signing up with another League wouldn't help you at all.

[CM PUP]
Listen to yourself. Don't try and sell me on this league.
Don't pretend like you want me to resign.
Because you don't.
You just need me to resign so that the Board of Directors would get off your back.
Because if I walk out of FantasyMania with the League Championship, it looks bad on the league.
It looks bad on the Commissioner.
Losing your Champion is not good for business and
you're afraid that I'm going to win this whole thing.
You need me to resign to save your own ass.
So don't try and pretend that I'm the one that needs this league.
This league is the one that needs ME!
I'm not signing this crap.
Somebody give me the real match contract.
Don't try and con me into coming back to the WCC.

[Seana]
Are you serious, right now?
Commish, you're just gonna let this terrorist get his demands.
You're gonna give in?
I say, forget the contract extension.
Let him walk.
Because this Sunday, I plan on winning.
I plan on beating CM PUP and going to the WCC Finals.
You don't have to give in to his demands in fear.
Because, I, John Seana, will do everything in my power to stop him!

[Laurinaitis]
Well you better beat him, John.
Because the careers of so many WCC Superstars and Executives in this League depend on it.
The livelihood of everyone in this league is in your hands, Seana.

[Seana]
I can handle the pressure.
I know what's at stake this Sunday.
I know what's on the line.
But win or lose, I think the Board of Directors should fire you.
You've done a terrible job as Commissioner, and if anyone's going down, it should be you.

Commissioner Laurinaitis slaps Seana!

And Seana hits the Commissioner back!

Attitude Adjustment on Commissioner Laurinaitis!

Seana signs the match contract.

CM PUP signs it too.

And this match is set! John Seana vs. CM PUP!
The winner goes to the Final Round of FantasyMania!

We return to Wednesday Night Preview for the main event of the evening.
Dealmus vs. Single H to determine who faces Dolph Riggler for the WCC Championship.

The Champion makes his way out first to sit ringside for commentary.

[Cole]
It's very nice to see you, Champ!

[Riggler]
It's good to be here, Michael.
I look forward to watching these two Superstars kill each other before our match on Sunday.

Singles Match
Dealmus vs. Single H

The Celtic Warrior makes his way out first.

The Game enters next.

The bell rings and this match is underway!

[Cole]
Dolph, do you have a preference to who you'll be facing this Sunday?

[Riggler]
Are you stupid, Michael?
They're both the same person.
Just different characters, but the same Fantasy Manager.
This whole match is pointless and only for storyline purposes.

[Cole]
And a take down by Single H!
But regardless, Dolph, Single H is the 3 time League Champion and a veteran in the game of Fantasy Football. I would think you'd prefer to face Dealmus.

[Riggler]
It doesn't really matter, Cole. I'll beat either of these two.
Single H has an impressive 8-1 record at FantasyMania, but I'm undefeated.
The only active undefeated Superstar in FantasyMania history.
So it doesn't really matter, I'm the best in the business today.

[Cole]
What about you, AJ?
What are your thoughts going into Sunday?

[AJ]
Well, Michael. There is nobody better than Riggy.
He's been proving himself all throughout the year.
He's beaten The Heyman Regime.
He's beaten Chuckanut three times.
CM PUP...
He's by far and away the Rookie of the Year and candidate for MVP.

[Cole]
And now Dealmus taking it to Single H.
That's a long list of names that Dolph has defeated this season.
It's impressive, but one name that he hasn't defeated is in that ring right now.
Dealmus.
Losing in Week 9 138-87.
That's got to be an area of concern heading into FantasyMania.

[Riggler]
Like I said, I'm not worried.
That was many weeks ago, and I've improved as a Fantasy Manager.
Dealmus isn't ready for me this Sunday.

And a Brogue Kick to Single H!

And The Game is down!

[Cole]
Wait a minute now... Single H looks hurt.

[Riggler]
He looks tired and old.
I think Stephaneah was right. It's time for him to hang it up.

[Cole]
You have to wonder if the effects of playing in so many Fantasy Football games has gotten to Single H. And how much does the major car accident come into play for The Game?
