[Ranallo]
We are just one week away from the start of playoff season here in the WCC.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us for Week 13 in the FXT.
I'm Mauro Ranallo alongside Corey Graves.
And Corey, with just 3 spots left for FantasyMania, this playoffs are truly up for grabs.
[Graves]
Oh, it's an exciting time in the FXT for sure, Mauro.
With Kenn Balor, Jenni Zayn and Vic Ambrose holding onto those 3 spots for now... anything can happen this Sunday at Takeover The End.
Tai Rollins is still in the hunt... but the biggest wildcard in all of this?
The FXT Universal Champion, JJ Styles.
If JJ Styles can hang onto the FXT Universl Championship, he'll be guaranteed a spot in this year's FantasyMania!
John Seana's music hits to kick off Wednesday Night Preview.
[John Seana]
*Looking at the Camera*
It's about to go down tonight.
This is where it gets interesting.
[John Seana]
Last night at Roadblock, JJ Styles proved why they call him the Phenomenal One.
JJ Styles showed that he does know a thing or two about Football...
He proved it when he knocked off Number 1 seed, Shinsuke Nickamura.
He proved it when he became FXT Universal Champion.
And most importantly, he did it the right way.
He cashed in his Money in the Bank title shot the way I would have.
And through the ups and downs this season, JJ Styles shows everyone why he deserves to play in FantasyMania.
He's earned my respect.
So now I would like to introduce...
The Face that Embraces the Face.
The PHENOMENAL!
JJ STYLES!
Crowd Cheers as JJ Styles makes his way to the ring.
[Ranallo]
Despite the 9th seed in the league, JJ Styles is in possession of something far more important.
JJ Styles may still have a shot at going to FantasyMania because he holds the FXT Universal Championship!
[Graves]
What a shocking upset that was over Nickamura, Mauro.
But let's not forget that Styles had a little bit of help...
John Seana even claps for the new Champion.
Seana shakes JJ Style's hand in a sign of mutual respect.
Vic Ambrose interrupts.
[Vic Ambrose]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let's not get carried away here.
JJ Styles wins one match and suddenly he's the best thing since sliced bread?
Ignore the fact that he's still 4-8.
Ignore the fact that he's been a bitter disappoint all season long, but still manages to corral all the storylines.
No, no. Forget all that.
If JJ Styles holds onto the Universal Championship, that means someone who deserves to go to FantasyMania this season, will lose their spot.
Right now, that person is me.
And John, that's not okay by me.
JJ Styles is my Roadblock on my Road to FantasyMania.
I'm not going to stand idle while the two most overrated Superstars in this league take my spotlight.
I headlined FantasyMania two seasons ago.
And you?
You're about to miss your third straight FantasyMania.
How's that for being the Face that Runs the Place?
*Crowd Cheers*
Shane McMahon's music hits.
[Ranallo]
Uh oh.
Here comes Shane McMahon to sort out this mess!
[Shane McMahon]
Hold on. Hold on.
It appears we have a dispute on our hands.
Since JJ Styles holds the FXT Universal Championship, he holds an advantage over everyone else.
JJ Styles has a free ticket to FantasyMania.
Some would argue, that system isn't fair.
Kinda like our electoral college, but that's a whole 'nother story.
And right now, Vic Ambrose stands to lose out on this.
Vic Ambrose is fighting for his playoff life.
Ambrose needs to win this Sunday at Takeover: The End...
[Shane McMahon]
Well, I think there's only one way to settle it.
The only way we know how.
By playing Fantasy Football!
*Crowd Cheers*
[Shane McMahon]
In one corner, the Lunavic Fringe!
Vic Ambrose!
In the other.... the FXT Universal Champion!
JJ Styles!
*Crowd Cheers*
[Minh Wyatt]
Hahaha!
You people are so.... petty.
Battling over meaningless Fantasy games.
The only thing that has meaning this season... is me.
[Minh Wyatt]
You see, John.
You owe me.
I brought the King of Animal Style to his knees.
I took down the first seed.
And now, I stand alone.
I am the only one on this mountain top.
You owe me, and I will cash in.
The FXT Universe is mine.
Because I am not to be trifled with.
This is my year.
This is my season.
And I will show you just how fearful you should be...
When I eviscerate the Inactive Sensation, Jenni Zayn and crush her dreams of going to FantasyMania.
Because...
I AM A GOD....
And God punishes those who are unjust.....
[Minh Wyatt]
RUN!

Mr. McMahon's Music Hits as return to FXT Preview.
[Graves]
Here comes the boss man, Shane McMahon said he'd be here this week,
but I didn't believe him.
Is Mr. McMahon really going to step down as Chairman of the Board?
[Mr. McMahon]
Over the course of the last few weeks, Fantasy Managers in this league,
have taken extreme measures to ensure that they get what they want.
I've seen extreme measures before, this time, they've crossed the line.
The Bullet Club issued a warning that if I didn't step down as Chairman of West Coast Cousins Entertainment... well... someone would die each and every single week.
We are an entertainment company and our job as performers is to entertain our audience.
But I assure everyone reading at home, this is not part of our entertainment.
Acts of murder are being conducted each week and West Coast Cousins does not condone, nor claim responsibility for these acts of crime.
[Mr. McMahon]
Under any other circumstances, I would not back down from acts of terrors brought on by our Superstars.
But in this such instance, after two people have been killed at the hands of the Bullet Club..
I have no choice, but to answer to these threats.
That is why, as of this moment, I, Vincent Kennedy McMahon...
[Single H]
Hang on there, Vince.
I can't let you do this.
It's unbecoming of you, to just give up without a fight.
The Vince McMahon I know, wouldn't be bullied like this.
And if I know President Elect Donald Trump like I think I do.
Then I know that his ego wouldn't back down from a challenge.
[Single H]
Donald, I know you're probably in your Trump Tower watching this broadcast.
And I know you think tonight is the night you took the WCC from Vince McMahon,
but right now, I'm calling you out!
You beat Hillary, but you sure as hell haven't beaten me yet.
My protege, Tai Rollins, is fighting for a playoff spot this season.
His entire season comes down to this moment.
With every thing on the line, I'm betting on my horse to win the race.
Donald, you pick your guy and I'll pick mine.
Because this Sunday at Takeover The End, we're gonna have a match for the fate of the WCC.
Winner gains control of Wednesday Night Preview!
Winner gains control of the entire WCC Universe!
How about that?
President Elect Trump appears on the titantron.
[Donald Trump]
You're right Single H.
I am watching.
And you're also right that I would never back down from a challenge.
However, you are embarrassingly wrong about one thing.
Your guy, Tai Rollins, doesn't stand a chance against my man.
[Donald Trump]
Because my guy leads the entire league in points.
My guy should be in first place, but because of the corrupt system that you're running down there, Vince... my man is currently 4th.
After I take control of the WCC, my guy is going to be pushed through the roof.
I'm going to do something you could never do, Vince.
That's make Wrestling Great Again.
Introducing my pick to destroy Tai Rolllins on Sunday...
The Demon King!
Kenn Balor!
[Graves]
Ohhhh! Ohhh Oh!
It's the leader of the Bullet Club!
Kenn Balor and Tai Rollins go face to face.
Both Superstars are fighting to clinch a playoff spot,
but more importantly, the fate of the WCC is at hand.
[Donald Trump]
Balor, bring me his head!

Rockson looks across the crowd as citizens of West Coasteros are in an uproar.
[Crowd]
Shame!
Shame!
Shame!
In the sea of the crowd, Joanne Stark looks on from a distance.
Jennifer Stark stands besides Queen Cersei and Ken Baelish.
Baelish watches as Rockson Stark is brought in front of everyone to admit his guilt to the Gods and await his fate as King Evan announces his punishment.
[Rockson Stark]
I am Rockson Stark, Lord of San Francisco and Hand of the King.
I come before you, to confess my treason.
In the sight of Gods and men.
I betrayed the faith of my King.
And the trust of my friend, Robert.
I swore to protect and defend his children.
But before his blood was cold, I plotted to murder his son.
And seize the throne for myself.
[Crowd]
*Booing*
Shame! Shame! Shame!
[Rockson Stark]
Let the high septar bare witness to what I say.
Evan Baratheon is the one true heir to the Iron Throne.
[Rockson Stark]
By the grace of all the Gods.
Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.
[Maester Pycelle]
As we sin, so we do suffer.
This man has confessed his crimes in sight of Gods and men.
The Gods are just, but they can also be merciful.
What is to be done with this traitor, Your Grace?
[King Evan]
My mother wishes me to let Lord Rockson Stark join the Yahoo's Watch.
Stripped of all titles and power as he will serve the Yahoo Public Leagues in permanent exile.
And my Lady Jennifer, has begged mercy for her father.
[King Evan]
But they have the soft hearts of women.
So long as I am your King, treason will never go unpunished!
[King Evan]
Ser Minhdor Clegane, bring me his head!
*Crowd is an uproar*
Cersei and Jennifer Stark beg Evan Baratheon to stop.
[Cersei]
Stop it!
[Jennifer]
No! No!

Rockson looks around in shock.
[Crowd]
YES! YES! YES! YES!
Joanne Stark fights through the crowd attempting to save her father.
Before she can, Yoren grabs her.
[Joanne Stark]
Let me go!
Rockson Stark appears to accept his fate that his season is over.
He begins to pray to himself.
