FXT Preview Week 6: Power Struggle

Backstage, the Bullet Club are celebrating JJ Style's victory over Kenn Balor.

[JJ Styles]

What did I tell you?

FXT Universal Champion, JJ Styles!

They said he was unbeatable.

The Number 1 Ranked Superstar in the League.

The undefeated, Kenn Balor.

Well, I gave him every opportunity to join the Bullet Club.

I told him he was making a mistake.

Now he knows better.

If you didn't believe me before, you better believe me now.

You're looking at The Face That Runs the Place!

[Karl Anderson]

He told you exactly what he was going to do.

Do you have any questions for the greatest Professional Fantasy Manager on God's green earth?

[JJ Styles]

I would say, the greatest Professional Club on God's green earth.

[Jeff Jarrett]

We don't have to answer any questions.

We play by our own rules.

Because we do whatever we want, whenever we want!

No questions for the Champion.

[Renee Young]

JJ, we know you've won Fantasy Championships in Public Leagues before..

But now you've won in FXT.

How do you plan to carry this momentum for the rest of the season?

[Karl Anderson]

I'll take that one for the Champion, if you don't mind.

JJ Styles has been Champion everywhere that he has gone.

What you're about to witness is the most historic, improbable run in WCC history.

He started 0-4. Took over a squad of losers left over by John Seana.

And what did he do?

He turned it around and beat Kenn Balor.

[JJ Styles]

Do that answer your question?

Any of you guys got anymore questions?

We're standing right here, you've got questions.

We've got answers.

[Jeff Jarrett]

No more questions.

We don't want to answer them.

[JJ Styles]

No, I'll answer them.

This is our time to talk to the media.

[Jeff Jarrett]

We don't have to if we don't want to.

We do whatever we want.

[JJ Styles]

Oh, alright.

You know what?

NO MORE QUESTIONS!

[JJ Styles]

What you're watching now, is a new regime.

This is Bullet Club TV.

The hottest sensation in the WCC.

And since I run the program now, 

I'm going to decide who I should defend my title against this Sunday.

That's right. 

One of you lucky FXT Superstars will have the honor of sharing the ring, with yours truly.

You want to put on a 5 star match?

Then there's no better chance than when you play Fantasy Football with JJ Styles!

So who will it be?

Someone from the New Day?

Shinsuke Nickamura?

Or maybe it'll be YOU!

Yes, that's right. A member of the studio audience.

I'll be happy to kick one of you ungrateful fan's in the ass.

Because we do whatever we want, WHENEVER WE WANT!

I'll be evaluating Superstars on the roster all night until I find a suitable candidate for this Sunday's main event.

Stay tuned.

Elsewhere, Kenn Balor watches the Bullet Club's promo on a TV screen.

Tai Rollins kicks off FXT Preview, with the crowd booing.

[Tai Rollins]

Look at you. Every single one of you here in Detroit.

You're actually booing me?

I am cleaning up the league.

And you have the audacity to boo me?

You are all a bunch of sheep!

*Crowd Boos*

[Tai Rollins]

Inactive Fantasy Managers do not matter.

And if you're on that side, you do not matter either.

I am ridding the league of inactive Fantasy Managers.

I did it to Sandy Orton.

The Hiz.

Cal Bears.

Who's next?

I have fought my way back into contention in this league.

I am the hottest Fantasy Manager in the league.

Who wants to stand with the Inactives?

*Sidney Reign's Music Hits*

[Ranallo]

OH OH OHHHH!

Look what we have here.

It's Sidney Reigns!

Is Reigns Pro Inactives?

[Graves]

He's making a huge statement by stepping to Tai Rollins, Mauro.

[Sidney Reigns]
Inactive Lives Don't Matter, huh?
Now I've heard it all.
Sidney Reigns had to hear it all.
Everything you had to say.
You want to deliver change?
You want to start a revolution.
But Tai, you're all alone.
The Inactives are here to stay.
And I will sign the Affirmative Inaction Papers.

*Crowd Cheers*

[Tai Rollins]
No.
I am not alone.
You do not get to win.
These people, do not get to win.

[Sidney Reigns]
They don't get to win?
Oh... they've already won.
They won the moment Sidney Reigns stepped into this arena and came out here to entertain all his fans.
Don't you ever say, Inactive Lives Don't Matter.
Inactive Lives always matter.
You are the one that doesn't matter.

[Tai Rollins]
Oh, I matter.
I'm the 3x Leag...

[The Reigns]

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU MATTER!

*Crowd Laughs*

*Shane McMahon magically appears in the ring*

[Shane McMahon]

It's clear you two have a grievance with one another.

And I think I have just the solution.

This Sunday at Power Struggle..

We're going to have a match!

[Ranallo]

WHOAAAAA!

WHAT SHOCKING NEWS BY COMMISSIONER SHANE MCMAHON!

[Shane McMahon]

In one corner, the Cerebral Sandwich. The Architect. 

The Game. Tai Rollins.

Versus..

The Most Electrifying Fantasy Manager in all of Fantasy Entertainment.

The People's Champion, The Reigns!

*Crowd Cheers*

We cut backstage to JJ Styles who is looking for an opponent.

[Apollo Crews]

JJ Styles! The Champ is Here.

I heard you were looking for an opponent this Sunday.

I'm looking for an opportunity.

What do you say?

[JJ Styles]

Oh. Wow.

Bobby Lashley! 

I didn't know you still played Fantasy Football.

You know, I understand why you want a shot.

Guys like you... they're never really given a fair chance in this league.

It would be great if we could even the playing field and give you more opportunities to succeed.

But, with that said.

I don't like people like you.

So I'm going to have to say no.

*Commercial*

A familiar force will arrive to reclaim what is his...

Those who were unjust, destruction will be upon them...

He's coming.

*Commercial*

[Kenn Balor]

You know, last night I had ta match of my life.

I shared ta ring with JJ Styles and no matter what I did..

I could not keep JJ Styles down.

David Johnson gave me 30 points, but it still was not enough.

I give JJ Styles credit..

But tis.. between us and ta Bullet Club.

It is not over.

I will rebound and I will reclaim my Championship title.

But for now, I'm not quite sure what is next for Kenn Balor.

[Nick Foley]

Kenn. Kenn. Kenn.

I will tell you what's next for Kenn Balor.

The King of Animal Style Fries!

FXT Intercontinental Champion..

SHINSUKE NICKAMURA!

*Crowd Cheers*

Out comes the FXT Intercontinental Champion.

[Shinsuke Nickamura]

When I was Japan. I want you.

You became icon in WCC.

If I want be FXT Champion.

I have to beat Icon.

[Shinsuke Nickamura]
I....
HaVE...
To...
BEEEEEEEAT.......
.....
.....
....
You.

[Kenn Balor]

Last season, Nick Foley and Deez Bryan made tis personal.

Last season, you deleted me from Facebuke.

And I told everyone not to trade with you.

Ten... I kicked your ass.

Tis time...

Kenn Balor finishes your Animal fry eating ass!

[Crowd]

YES! YES! YES!

YES! YES! YES!

We cut backstage where JJ Styles finds a new prospective opponent.

[JJ Styles]

Haha!

Cal Bears! The Big Red Machine.

I know what you're thinking..

You're eyeing my FXT Universal Championship.

I know you want a shot.

But do you want to know where I stand on Inactive Lives Matter?

I am AGAINST Inactive Lives Matter.

So I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction!

If you don't play Fantasy Football.. you DON'T get a shot.

Not get out of my way you FREAK.

[Minh Wyatt]
1...
2...
3...
4...
5...
I have claimed 5 souls.

[Minh Wyatt]

Look at what I have built.

Look at what I have created.

Over the past few seasons..

I have become more powerful than any entity that has ever stepped foot in a WCC ring.

This is my season..

Hahaha...

This is my time.

Who ever falls in my path will be a victim.

Victim to the wrath of Minh.

Hahahaha.

[Minh Wyatt]

RUN.

*Commercial*

*Commercial*

[JJ Styles]

What a long night I have had.

I went through every nook and cranny looking for a suitable opponent.

One who can challenge me.

One who can push me to the limits.

One who can give me the match of my life...

A match that I can put on for the WCC Universe to get you guys on your feet!

TO ENTERTAIN YOU.

And you know, I've come to a conclusion.

There simply isn't that much talent in the FXT Locker Room.

My scouts and my talent evaluators looked and every single Fantasy Manager in the back..

And I don't think any of you are worthy to play me in Fantasy Football.

[JJ Styles]

But have no fear, WCC Universe.

I have found an opponent.

I had to go outside of the FXT roster to find this guy...

But I think this is the right man to challenge me to the Championship.

None other than...

JAMES ELLSWORTH!

[Ranallo]

You've got to be kidding me, Corey.

James Ellsworth?
This is the lauded opponent of JJ Styles?

He doesn't belong in a WCC ring.

This has got to be a joke.

[Graves]

This is no joke, Mauro.

James Ellsworth deserves every right to play in this league.

If Inactives can play, so can James.

I think this would be an AWESOME match.

JJ Styles has outdone himself this time.

JJ Styles versus James Ellsworth!

[Ranallo]

Styles has just picked an easy opponent that would give him a free win.

This isn't competition.

[Graves]

Just like anyone playing one of the inactives.

JJ Styles is making a statement.

[JJ Styles]

Haha!
Come on, give it up WCC Universe for James Ellsworth!

This is the guy who is going to push me to my limits.

This is the guy who make me spend hours evaluating which player I should start and which players I should sit.

Now James before--

*Styles is cut off by Chris Waiting's Music*

[Ranallo]

Take a look at this!
It's Kevin Waiting's mentor and best friend, Chris Waiting!

[Graves]

What's he doing out here?
He's interrupting the champ!

Isn't this old man retired?

[Chris Waiting]

JJ Styles...

You searched far and wide backstage for an opponent..

But you failed to find me.

I will be your opponent this Sunday at Power Struggle!

*Crowd Cheers*

[JJ Styles]

Uhh... hello?
Did you just miss my entire promo?

I already have an opponent.

James Ellsworth.

[Chris Waiting]

I don't care about you and your stupid idiot jobber.

If you truly are the Phenomenal One.

The Face That Runs the Place.

You will accept my challenge for the FXT Universal Championship!

[JJ Styles]

You want to face me?

You think I just give out opportunities to anyone that asks?

What have you done to deserve a shot at me?

Your good buddy Kevin Waiting was the first to lose to an inactive.

That doesn't seem worthy to me.

[Chris Waiting]

Because WCC Management has consistently buried me and my best friend.

It is time that I, Chris Waiting, reached the pinnacle of this organization.

And if you truly are who you say you are..

You will accept all comers.

And if you don't face me..

THEN I AM GOING TO PUT YOU ON MY LIST!

[JJ Styles]

You're on, Waiting.

You and me.

One on one.

FXT Universal Championship.

[Chris Waiting]

Be careful, Styles.

Because this Sunday, you're gonna get it.

[JJ Styles]

Get what?

[Chris Waiting]

...... IT!
