FXT Preview Week 11: Takeover Brooklyn


[King Evan Baratheon]
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much everybody.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Complicated business.
I spoke with Rockson Stark and we owe him a major debt of gratitude for his service as Protector of the Realm. I mean that very sincerely.


[King Evan Baratheon]
Now it's time for West Coasteros to bind the wounds of division.
We have to get together.h
To all the Luunisters and Starks and all families across this league,
I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.
I pledge to every Fantasy Manager in our league that I will be King for all cousins.
And this is so important to me.


[Varys]
You've seen better days, my Lord.

[Rockson Stark]
Varys?

[Varys]
Yes, my Lord.
I've come with news.
Your daughter, Jennifer Stark came to court this morning, pleading for your life.
She wants you to make peace with the Luunisters.h


[King Evan Baratheon]
For those who have chosen not to support me in the past,
I'm reaching out to you, for your guidance and your help.
So that we can work together and unify our great Fantasy league.
Bend the knee and show loyalty to me, and I will in turn, show mercy to all.
I speak to Rockson Stark and the rest of the Stark family.
Join me in support of West Coast Cousins and we can make this Fantasy League great again.


[Varys]
Sidney Stark marches south with an army of Fantasy players.
Fighting for your freedom.
Vic Ambrose also has a Fantasy team ready to take King's Landing.
But with a better record and a legitimate shot at FantasyMania, Vic Ambrose is more of a threat than Sidney Stark.

[Rockson Stark]
Vic Ambrose is Robert's true heir.
The throne is his by right.

[Varys]
Jennifer pleaded so sweetly for your life.
It would be a shame for you to throw it away.
Cersei is no fool, she knows a tamed wolf is more useful to her than a dead one.


[Rockson Stark]j
One does not simply forgive those who tried to murder his son.
Those who murdered the King.
You want me to serve these people?

[Varys]
I want you to serve the realm!


[King Evan Baratheon]
Despite the wild and vicious accusations thrown at my mother, I am willing to be the bigger man and look past those issues.
Swear loyalty to me and I will serve you and work everyday to become the best King I can be. 
Not just for the people of West Coasteros, but people across all Seven Kingdoms.
I mean that very sincerely.
Thank you and God bless the West Coast Cousins.


[Varys]
Tell the Queen you will confess your vile treason, tell your son to lay down his sword,
and proclaim Evan as the true heir.
Cersei knows you as a man of honor.
If you give her the peace she needs and promise to carry her secret to your grave,
I believe she will let you live.

[Rockson Stark]
Heh. You think my life is some precious thing to me?
That I would trade my honor for a few more years of what?
So what if I miss FantasyMania?
I grew up a soldier.
I learned how to die a long time ago.

[Varys]
Pity. Such a pity.


[Varys]
What of your daughter's life, my Lord?
Is that a precious thing to you?



*The Bullet Club's Music Hits*


FXT Preview kicks off with the Bullet Club led by the Agent of Chaos, Kenn Balor.



[Ranallo]
Why is Balor dressed in that clown makeup?
He looks maniacal. Dangerous.
Who knows what's running thru this madman's head?
Last week, he blew up the ring.
He claims responsibility for the murder of Khantonio Brown.
Each week, he said another person will die unless Vince McMahon steps down.
How much more chaos must take place until Balor is satisfied?

[Graves]
Well Mauro, kids these days do like dressing up as clowns.
Maybe he's sending a political message?


[Kenn Balor]
Last week, I told ta world tat ta Bullet Club would kill someone each and every week.
Mr. MacMahon failed ta heed my warning.
I will continue to commit murder until we get what we want.
But, as far as last night goes.
Ta Bullet Club lost to the Inactives, Jenni Zayn and The Hiz.
Ta Bullet Club is only as strong as its weakest link.
And right now.
Tat weak link, is you. JJ Styles.


[JJ Styles]
Really?

[Kenn Balor]
Tell your Fantasy Players they play for me now.
This is my Club.


[JJ Styles]
They won't play... for a FREAK!

[Kenn Balor]
Frrreak? Why don't we Coup de Grace you, and feed you to your Fantasy Players.
And then, we'll see how loyal a Fantasy team really is.


One Winged Angel by Kenny Omega on JJ Styles!


[Ranallo]
Oh my God!
What has the Bullet Club done?!
They've turned on JJ Styles!


[Graves]
But why!
He's one of the leaders of Bullet Club.



A Cenation logo lights on fire symbolizing the return of John Seana.


[Kenn Balor]
Impossible.

The Authority makes their way out to the ring to address President Elect Donald Trump.


[Single H]
Last week, President Elect Donald Trump sent a very clear message.
He asked for the resignation of my father in law, Mr. McMahon.
And while Mr. McMahon is not here tonight, I will address Mr. Trump on his behalf.


[Single H]
Vincent Kennedy McMahon will never step down as Chairman of the Board.
And least of all, he would never hand over the reigns to you, Donald.


[Single H]
You see, the Authority is here to stay.
We keep the West Coast Cousins within the family.
And sure, while we will always have our issues...
One thing is clear--


Minh Wyatt cuts off Single H.


[Minh Wyatt]
Hahaha!
Single H, your administration is a joke.
Your system is broken.
But once again, your savior, your saint...
Minh Wyatt is here to save the day.
You see, I am the most successful Fantasy Manager today.
And I endorse President Elect Trump.
I believe that Mr. Trump will make the WCC Great Again.



[Minh Wyatt]
And just to show you that your system is broken.
To prove to you, that you have no control...
I will show you who holds the power.
Single H, your pupil, Tai Rollins...
Has been nothing but a massive failure since he took your place.
This season will be no different.
You see, I am a GOD!
And I cannot be touched.
You, on the other hand.
You can be had any time I want.
NOW.


Wait a minute! An RKO from out of no where by Sandy Orton!


[Ranallo]
Sandy Orton just took out Tai Rollins!
What is going on!
Has Sandy Orton joined the Wyatt Family?

*Commercial*


*Commercial*


We return to FXT with Deez Bryan already in the ring.


[Deez Bryan]
For four straight weeks now, my protege, Shinsuke Nickamura has proven to the entire FXT Universe, that he is THE premiere Fantasy Manager in the league.
I have never been more confident in a Fantasy Team than I have now.
We've beaten the odds.
We've come out from underneath and finally, I can say that I have overcome every single obstacle that has been put forth in front of me.



[Jenni Zayn]
Whoa. Hang on a second there, Deez.


[Deez Bryan]
Hey look everybody, it's the Inactive, Jenni Zayn!



[Jenni Zayn]
Inactive huh? Kinda like your wrestling career?
I don't know about you, but I look pretty damn active to me.
And you say you've beaten every obstacle you've faced.
Well Deez, you've never faced me in one on one competition.
And yeah, you could write me off.
You could say it's a mismatch.
But Deez, I've been proving everyone wrong all season long.
I was projected to finish outside of the Top 10 before the season began.
But now? I'm in the Top 6.
And I'm looking to earn my spot at FantasyMania.
So where's your Champion?
Where's your King of Animal Style?
Because not only do I plan to steal the show at Takeoer Brooklyn...
But I plan to steal the FXT Universal Championship as well.


*Nickamura appears on the Titantron*

[Shinsuke Nickamura]
Jenni Zayn.
FXT Takeover.
Brooklyn.


[Shinsuke Nickamura]
Like a slow fastball down the middle.
You.
Will.
Never.
See.
Me.
Coming.



[Shinsuke Nickamura]
Because I am KING!
of....
ANIMAL STYLE!
YeaOHHHH!


Jenni Zayn is confused by Nickamura's promo.


But from out of nowhere!
Jenni Zayn takes a swing at the Champion, but Nickamura counters with an armbar!


[Ranallo]
Nickamura playing mind games with the challenger!
Does Jenni Zayn stand a chance against the hottest Fantasy Manager in the WCC today?
Will Jenni Zayn shock the world with a crushing upset over Nickamura?
Or will Nickamura's streak increase to 5?
Find out this Sunday at FXT Takeover Brooklyn!

FXT Week 10 Recap: Judgment Day



[Kenn Balor]
West Coast Cousins.
I tried ta warn you.
Vince McMahon, I told you ta step down as Chairman of ta Board.
It has been one week and you've failed to comply with our demands.
Now, someone has died.
Teir blood is on your hands, McMahon.


Joyce Targaryen tends to Khantonio Brown who is suffering life threatening injuries.


[Joyce Targaryen]
Please. My Sun and Stars.
You were my first pick.
I need you right now.
We have to finish the season together.
I will not finish in last place.


[Jorah Mormont]
Santa Khaleesi. We must go.
Trade Khantonio Brown or the Squad of Luusers will turn on you.
Throw him into the sea. Maybe he will become Aquaman.
There is no salvaging this season.
With Khantonio Brown dead, the Dothraki will show no loyalty to you.
They will kill the both of us.


[Jorah Mormont]
We will find a new way to West Coasteros.
We must leave before King Evan Baratheon hears that you've been weakened.
He will hunt you down and kill you.


[Joyce Targaryen]
Evan Baratheon is no King.
A childish boy with the temper of a 5 year old is not fit to lead the Seven Kingdoms.
I will not leave him, Jorah.
Those on my Fantasy Team that choose to fight me, will die.
Those who fight with me... will be rewarded when I am Queen of West Coasteros.
I will show the world that a woman can be the leader of the most powerful country in the world.

[Jorah Mormont]
Santa Khaleesi... I don't think the world is ready for such a drastic measure.
Your record is 1-8.

[Joyce Targaryen]
I am the Mother of Divas.
I will not leave Khantonio Brown.
We stay put. And we continue to fight.


[Mauro Ranallo]
With playoff implications across the board, we are 4 weeks away from FantasyMania!
We come to you LIVE for FXT Judgment Day here in Dallas, Texas.


[Mauro Ranallo]
Mauro Ranallo alongside my broadcast partners Corey Graves and the useless Byron Saxton.
Corey, what matchups are you looking forward to tonight?

[Corey Graves]
Well Mauro, it is a wide open race here in the West Coast Cousins.
Seeds 4-10 fighting for positioning, nobody is safe tonight.
You've got Ezekiel 626, aka Tai Rollins sitting in 4th place playing the Comeback Kid, Vic Ambrose at #7.
The surprising Jenni Zayn in 6th taking on JJ Styles at 9.
And of course Dolph Riggler in 8 taking on Kevin Waiting at 5.
The playoff seedings will definitely shake up tonight.


[Mauro Ranallo]
But let's not forget our main event of the evening, the FXT Championship on the line!
Sidney Reigns taking on Shinsuke Nickamura!

[Byron Saxton]
Doesn't Sidney Reigns look like Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones?
Man, I hope he doesn't die.
The Justice League needs him.

[Corey Graves]
The only thing dying is Sidney Reign's playoff chances.
He needs the win tonight in order to keep his season alive.
