FXT Preview Week 7: Money in the Bank

Justin Stark wakes up from his coma.

[Caretaker]

You're awake!

Justin, my goodness, what do you remember?

[Justin Stark]

I can't feel my legs.

[Caretaker]

Do you remember what happened?
How did you fall?

[Justin Stark]

I can't feel my legs.

[Caretaker]

I'm sorry, Justin. But you may never walk again.

They haven't invented a Playstation 4 yet either, so I'm not sure what you'll do with your time.

Now tell me, do you remember what happened?

[Justin Stark]

I don't remember.

I must have slipped.

[Caretaker]

Do you remember anything at all?

[Justin Stark]

I remember seeing my father..

Rockson Stark.

Down in the crypt, with my aunt, Lyanna.

[Caretaker]

Your father isn't here.

He's in King's Landing.

[Justin Stark]

No, he's down in the crypt.

[Caretaker]

Visiting his sister?

[Justin Stark]

No. Buried next to her.

Back in King's Landing, Rockson Stark finds a history book of the great families in West Coasteros.

[Rockson Stark]

Axel Baratheon, black of hair.

Lionel Baratheon, black of hair.

Robert Baratheon, black of hair.

Evan Baratheon, golden head.

[Rockson Stark]

Evan Baratheon is not the rightful heir to Robert.

[Graves]

What a way to kickoff FXT Preview LIVE here in Chicago!

With the NEW FXT Universal Champion, Kevin Waiting!

[Kevin Waiting]

It's about damn time.

It's about time I got the respect that I deserve.

It's about time that I start becoming recognized as a legitimate contender for the 2016 League Championship.

After all, I am the Champion of the Universe.

And as a result, there is no longer Bullet Club TV.

This is the Kevin Waiting Show.

[Chris Waiting]

Oh, that's right. And you can bet your ass, we're changing some rules around here.

What I have here, is what I like to call the List of Waiting.

I guess you could call it, a Waiting List.

And on my list, is everything that I think is wrong with FXT.

A list of Stupid Idiots, who should be banned from FXT.

First off, the inactives.

The Hiz and Jenni Zayn, are on the list.

[Kevin Waiting]

Wait, let me take a look at that list, Chris.

Am I on the list?

[Chris Waiting]

Of course you're not on the list.

You are the Champion of the Universe.

You are the FXT.

But if you must know, every single member of the Bullet Club is on the list.

They're on the list for breaking my neck last night at Power Struggle.

*Crowd Boos*

[Chris Waiting]

Oh, what? What?

You think I'm lying?

You think that my neck isn't really broken?

[Kevin Waiting]

Oh, it's really broken.

Show them, Chris. Try to move your neck.

[Chris Waiting]

OWW! OWWWW! OWWWW!

SEE! It's broken!

*Crowd Boos*

[Chris Waiting]

You still don't believe me?

You stupid idiots.

Guess what, Chicago?

You just made the list!

[Chris Waiting]

Why would I fake an injury?

You stupid idiots, why would I take myself out of a Championship match?
Do you even think before you make noises?

Last night, the Bullet Club nearly ended my season.

The only reason I'm out here now, is to support my best friend, Kevin Waiting.

And his victory over the Disgrace That Plagues the Place, JJ Styles.

This is a very serious injury and I could've died playing Fantasy Football for all you people!

*Deez Bryan's Music Hits*

[Graves]

Oh great, what's this asshole doing coming to the ring?

He has no business out here.

He's retired!

[Deez Bryan]

Oh, please. Chris.

I know a thing or two about injuries..

And after that Code Breaker you hit last night..

I think it's safe to say, you're perfectly fine.

[Kevin Waiting]

What are you doing out here, Deez?
You have no business being out here.

Your name is out of date.

Tom Brady isn't even on your team this season.

Your character isn't even relevant anymore.

[Deez Bryan]

You want to talk about characters?
My characters have been the most mismanaged storyline ever since I joined this season.

One season, I'm Ryback. Who no one even likes.

Then I become Mankind, who is just straight up weird.

Hell, I was even Goldberg for one episode of Preview.

This doesn't make any season.

And then finally, I become Deez Bryan.. YEARS after I requested it and guess what?
Deez Bryan isn't even a wrestler anymore.

If there was any character that I should've been..

It should've been you, Kevin Owens.

But since I never get what I want...

I guess I'll just stick with my newest character, Shinsuke Nickamura and take the FXT Universal Championship from you this Sunday at Money in the Bank!

*Crowd Cheers*

Shinsuke Nickamura appears on the Titantron.

[Shinsuke Nickamura]

Kevin Wait Ting.

You have Universe Champeonship.

And I - King of Animal Style.

Am hungry.

[Shinsuke Nickamura]

A hungry man, got to eat.

FEED ME MORE!

YUM YUM YUM YUM...

[Kevin Waiting]

What are you doing?
A commercial for Japanese noodles?
I don't get it.

[Shinsuke Nickamura]

Kevin Waiting...

YOU ARE NOODLES!

[Kevin Waiting]

Okay buddy.

I don't even know what you're saying right now because in this country..

We speak... ENGLISH.

Chris Waiting, show him what happens when you mess with the Champ.

Chris Waiting grabs Deez Bryan and locks in the Walls of Waiting!

From out of nowhere!

Shinsuke Nickamura with the Bomaye on Chris Waiting!

Kevin Waiting escapes and holds up his FXT Universal Championship on the ring entrance ramp.

[Ranallo]

OHHHHH...

We've got a FIGHT on OUR hands, Corey.

Shinsuke Nickamura taking on Kevin Waiting for the FXT Universal Championship, this Sunday.

WOW WHAT A MATCHUP!

*Commercial*

They burned their ships once they landed ashore.

So that there were no chance of retreat.

Her wails signal the end.

When his evil eye opens, the world ends.

He's Coming.

*Commercial*

[Doc Gallows]

Hey man...

I know you mean well, JJ.

But ever since we've arrived in the FXT...

We've been jobbing and eating finishers.

We need to start making some serious changes around here.

We need to show everyone the true meaning of the Bullet Club.

You let Chris Waiting outsmart us last night at Power Struggle.

We have to start making the rules around here.

Guys like Shane McMahon.. they can't boss us around.

We do whatever we want, whenever we want.

[JJ Styles]

I hear you, Doc.

And I'm going to deliver that change.. once I capture the Money in the Bank Briefcase this Sunday.

And then I cash in and get my hands back on the Universal Championship..

We're gonna run this place.

[Karl Anderson]

Okay, I know we went over this already..

But Kenn Balor.

He's gonna be in the Money in the Bank match as well...

Maybe we can get him to work together with us and ensure that we get that briefcase.

You know? If we work with Balor, our chances of winning increase.

We can form an alliance.

[JJ Styles]

That's a pretty good idea, Karl.

But until I know we can trust Kenn Balor....

Kenn Balor appears on screen.

[Karl Anderson]

Huh? What do you say, Kenn?

Are you in?

The Bullet Club offers the Too Sweet gesture.

Kenn Balor walks away.

Backstage Segment

[Michael Cole]

Joining me for this sit down one on one interview.

The Architect, Tai Rollins.

[Tai Rollins]

Michael Cole! Where have you been, lately?

Shane McMahon didn't like your vintage style and fired you?

[Michael Cole]

We're not here to talk about me.

We're here to talk about you.

[Tai Rollins]

You're absolutely right.

Nobody cares about you.

So let's talk about me.

[Michael Cole]

Over the course of the past few weeks Tai, you have managed to string together 4 straight victories, catapulting you into the Top 3 and back[Tai into the main event picture.

Do you think that your stance against Inactive Fantasy Managers has made you relevant again?

[Tai Rollins]

Michael Cole, everyone in the FXT Locker Room has been dreading this moment.

The moment in which Tai Rollins came back into the picture.

Admittedly, the last few seasons haven't been the greatest for yours truly.

But now that I am back in prime form, everyone in this league knows what I am capable of.

No one has won more League Championships than I.

Nobody has won more imaginary Sandwiches than I.

Ever since I dominated the first few years of the league, you've had Fantasy Managers win League Championships.

But none of them have done what I have done.

They were transitional Champions.

I dominated an entire era.

I was a DYNASTY!

[Tai Rollins]

And now the Dynasty has returned.

In just a few weeks, I have single handedly destroyed Inactive Lives Matter.

Sandy Orton, The Hiz and Sidney Reigns.

Nobody has been able to touch me.

There's a reason why the greatest quarterback of our generation joined my team.

Tom Brady is a winner.

And he only plays for winners.

I am a winner, Michael Cole.

I've been winning Fantasy Matchups, but not only that.

I've been ripping other Fantasy Managers off in trades as well.

You see what that idiot Sandy Orton is about to give me?
Antonio Brown AND Jordy Nelson!

Michael Cole, I am the hottest Fantasy Manager in the league today.

But the ultimate goal isn't destroying Inactive Lives Matter.

The ultimate goal is winning the League Championship.

[Tai Rollins]

And this Sunday at Money in the Bank, I will be the last man standing.

I will grab that briefcase, and then I'm cashing in my title shot.

That Universal Championship is as good as mine.

The FXT League Championship is as good as mine.

And then you will call me...

The 4x League Champion.

Tai Rollins.

Redesign. Rebuild. Reclaim.

*Commercial*

*Commercial*

[Graves]

Ohhh, ohhh, ohh!

Take a look at this, Mauro.

Joining us live next week on FXT Preview is FXT Hall of Famer and Presidential Nominee, Donald Trump!

I can't wait, Mauro.

Rumor has it, he's going to address his opponent, Hillary Clinton!

[Ranallo]

I'm sure that'll be quite the segment.

Backstage Segment

[Matthews]

I'm here with former League Champion, Dolph Riggler.

This Sunday, you will be competing against 9 other Fantasy Managers in a Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Tonight, you team up with Sidney Reigns and Sandy Orton in a 6 man tag team match against the team of JJ Styles, Tai Rollins and Minh Wyatt.

Interestingly enough, your two tag team partners are for Inactive Lives Matter.

And your opponents, against.

Where do you stand on the issue?

[Dolph Riggler]

You know Josh. I'm all about equality.

I'm about fair treatment for all.

So yes, I am pro Inactive Lives Matter.

The Money in the Bank Ladder Match has an imaginary line drawn.

There are those like myself, Sandy Orton, Sidney Reigns, The Hiz and Jenni Zayn...

Who are on the side of Inactive Lives Matter.

Then there is Tai Rollins, Minh Wyatt, JJ Styles and the Bullet Club..

Who have openly criticized the Inactive Fantasy Managers in this league.

A war amongst Fantasy Managers is coming to a head.

Everyone will have to pick a side.

[Dolph Riggler]

Tonight, I'm on the side of Inactive Lives Matter.

But this Sunday, it's every man for themselves.

So I won't hesitate to Rig Rag any of my tag team partners on Sunday, if that's what is takes to get a hold of the Money in the Bank Briefcase.

You can bet on that.

Also, side note. If you haven't checked it out already..

My concert on Saturday October 29th!
Please come check it out and support!

We cut to a shot of the Money in the Bank Briefcase suspended 30 feet in the air.

[Ranallo]

That's what it's all about, Corey,

The Money in the Bank briefcase!

Winner of this Sunday's match will earn a contract to cash in a Championship opportunity any place, anywhere, any time!

[Graves]

That's definitely a valuable possession.

Everyone who has cashed in that briefcase has gone on to win a Championship.

Will tradition hold true?
We'll find out soon.

But tonight, we get a preview of the MITB match!

Six Man Tag Match

JJ Styles, Tai Rollins & Minh Wyatt

vs.

Sidney Reigns, Sandy Orton & Dolph Riggler

JJ Styles starts off against Sidney Reigns.

Tai Rollins and Sandy Orton locking up.

Now it's Minh Wyatt and Dolph Riggler.

[Ranallo]

Wait! From out of nowhere!

Jenni Zayn just decked Tai Rollins!

Jenni Zayn will be playing in that match and you've got to believe she'll be going after Tai Rollins!

The Hiz with the Skull Crushing Finale on JJ Styles!

All hell has broken loose here in Chicago!

Jenni Zayn taking out everyone now!

JJ Styles is in trouble now.

But it's Kenn Balor taking out Jenni Zayn!

Balor turns his attention to Sidney Reigns!

JJ Styles looks confused as Kenn Balor clears the ring.

[Ranallo]

What does this mean, Corey!

Kenn Balor has seemingly come to the aide of JJ Styles.

[Graves]

I'm not sure, Mauro.

But look at the carnage at ringside.

Is this what is in store for Sunday?

If Kenn Balor and JJ Styles do indeed work together,

they can eliminate the competition!

[Ranallo]

Has Kenn Balor rejoined the Bullet Club?

Is JJ Styles and Kenn Balor in cahoots?

We'll find out this Sunday at Money in the Bank!
