WCC Preview Week 16: FantasyMania Finals


Jenni Zayn arrives in United Center in Chicago, Illinois to kick off Week 16.


The entire WCC locker room is backstage applauding Jenni Zayn as she arrives.


[Shane McMahon]
We are so proud of you, Jenni.
Everyone on the roster is happy for you.
You showed everyone that Inactive Lives Do Matter.
You made history and we're rooting for you this Sunday.


[Jenni Zayn]
I appreciate it, Shane.
But we still got one more to go.
It'll be my biggest test yet.


[Vic Ambrose]
Give 'em hell, Zayn.
You shocked us all with your performance this season.
Shock the world one more time and you're on top of the world.


[Sandy Orton]
Jenni Zayn, I'm proud of you.
I vouched for you to get into this league.
I fought and I fought with the Commissioner, I told him you deserved a chance.
Well, you've more than proven my point.
You're headlining FantasyMania!
Very few can say they've even played in the main event.
You have the chance to win it all and I know you can do it.
We can beat the San Francisco Cousins...
And if you, of all people can do it...
It'll be the biggest slap in the face to their conference.
Remember, Inactive Lives Matter.

[Jenni Zayn]
Thank you. I appreciate it.


*Crowd Cheers*


[Ranallo]
And there is she!
The Inactive Sensation!
The Great Inactive Hope!
Jenni Zayn!
Welcome to Week 16 in the West Coast Cousins!
We are down to just two Superstars.
Jenni Zayn and Kenn Balor!
These two Superstars will go head to head to determine the 2016 WCC League Champion.

[Graves]
What a Championship match it's going to be...
But look at this crowd going nuts for Jenni Zayn.


[Crowd]
To the tune of Zayn's theme song:
OHHHH.... Ohhhh....
OHHHHH.. OHHHHH... OHHHHHHH....
UH-OHHH... UH-OHHHHHH!


More WCC Superstars are in the ring to show their support for Jenni Zayn.

[Crowd]
YOU DESERVE IT!
YOU DESERVE IT!
YOU DESERVE IT!


[Jenni Zayn]
No, Chicago...
You deserve it!

*Crowd Cheers*

[Crowd]
WE DESERVE IT!
WE DESERVE IT!
WE DESERVE IT!


[Jenni Zayn]
Two weeks before the WCC Draft started... I met with the Commissioner of the League.
The Commissioner informed me, that I was being given a second chance.
A chance to play in this league again.
But there was only one catch, I had to remain active.
So I started to ask myself...
Do I have what it takes?
Do I have the time and effort to update my team weekly?
To watch the waiver wire and add the best available players?
To be honest, I wasn't quite sure I had the ability to play at this level.
But then I decided, I'd give it my best shot.
And even after a few early season losses, I didn't give up.
Even after the Commissioner wrote a really mean message warning the "Inactives" to UPDATE THEIR TEAMS.... I didn't give up.
Instead, I dropped Eli Manning.
I added Dak Prescott.
Last year's rookie bust, Melvin Gordon, he went off.
He lead my team to FantasyMania.
And now with just one week left in the season...
I'm in the Finals of FantasyMania!

*Crowd Cheers*


[Jenni Zayn]
The main event of FantasyMania is the pinnacle of our industry.
If you headline FantasyMania, it means you're on top of your game.
Let me list off a few names that headlined FantasyMania...
The Baugh.
The Underchucker.
Single H.
Stone Cold Steve Pupstin.
Sandy Orton.
Legends of this league.
And now you can add to the list...
Jenni Zayn!

*Crowd Cheers*

[Jenni Zayn]
But I'm not finished yet....
If I want to cement my name in the WCC Hall of Fame...
I've got to win it all.
I want to show everyone that dreams do come true.
If I can be example to children all around the world, that if you believe it... you can achieve it..
Then I--


The Authority Club cuts off Jenni Zayn.


*Crowd Boos*


[Ranallo]
And there is her opponent this Sunday...
The arrogant, pompous son of a bitch..
Kenn Balor.


[Ranallo]
Look at this Fantasy Manager, Corey.
He has the audacity to be carried on the shoulder's of Bad Luck Fale.
What? Is he too good to walk?

[Graves]
He's a leader, Mauro.
Leaders don't waste their energy walking.
Especially when he has a huge Fantasy Football game this Sunday.
He's smart, he's efficient.
What would you know?
Have you ever been a leader of anything?


[Single H]
Jenni Zayn. Congratulations.
You've made it to the Main Event.
If I told you at the beginning of the season, that Jenni Zayn would be headlining FantasyMania...
Well, nobody would believe me.
But here you are...


[Single H]
Let me tell you something about the Fantasy Managers who have had the honor to call themselves, WCC League Champions.
They're the best of the best.
The Elite.
And when I look at you, Zayn.
I think of a fine Fantasy Manager.
Someone who deserves to play in this league.
So when the fans chant, "You Deserve It!"
They're right.
You do deserve to play in this league.
But you do not deserve to wear this Championship title.
You don't deserve to call yourself a Champion.


[Jenni Zayn]
You know, I'm getting sick of hearing what I can and cannot do.
I think I've proven that I can do just about anything in this ring.
I wasn't supposed to be in the playoffs.
I wasn't supposed to beat Kevin Waiting.
And then I wasn't supposed to beat Minh Wyatt.
And I certainly am not supposed to beat Kenn Balor this Sunday in the Finals.
But the fact of the matter is, there's only one hand that's going to be raised this Sunday.
And I can't wait to look at your face when you hear the announcer say:
"AND NEW WCC LEAGUE CHAMPION...
THE INACTIVE SENSATION,
JENNI ZAYN!"

*Crowd Cheers*


[Kenn Balor]
Is tat wut you dink is going to happen, Jenni?
Let me tell you exactly wat is going to happen.
Because as impressive as your season as been,
ta Bullet Club has been far more impressive.
We've dominated most of the storylines.
We've murdered Fantasy Managers.
We've elected Donald Trump as President of the WCC.
And we've removed Vince MacMahon from power.
Not even WCW could do tat.
Not even tee NWO.
The only group powerful enough to detrone Vince MacMahon was ta Bullet Club.
And you know why?
Because we do whatever we want.
Whenever we want.
And right now, I want ta 2016 WCC League Campionship.


Kenn Balor points at Jenni Zayn.


President Elect Trump appears on screen.

*Crowd Boos*

[President Trump]
Let me tell you something, Jenni Zayn.
2016 has been the year of The Donald.
I've won everything.
I won the primaries.
I won the debates.
I won the election.
I won America.
I won the West Coast Cousins.
And now, I'm going to win the League Championship.


[President Trump]
Like my friend Balor said, we do whatever we want.
Whenever we want.
You see, my representatives, the Bullet Club.
They're going to do the dirty work for me.
I'm here to clean up the West Coast Cousins.
I'm here to make this League Great Again.
And that starts by eliminating the Inactives.
Jenni Zayn, just how confident are you in your own abilities?
Because you talk the talk.
You say that you never give up in the face of adversity.
But I propose the biggest proposition you have ever faced.
Let's put all the chips in the table.
If you lose this Sunday, we will send you back.
You will not be invited back to the WCC next season.
But if you win.
I will step down as Chairman of the West Coast Cousins.

*Crowd Cheers*


[President Trump]
Now, don't get too excited, Chicago.
Because I'm like Jenni Zayn in many ways.
Every time you expect me to lose, I win.
And I've beaten a woman once already.
I'll do it again.
Let me give you a spoiler for this Sunday's FantasyMania.
We're going to win.
And we're going to win bigly.


[Jenni Zayn]
I'm not one to back down from a challenge.
And the thought of you stepping down as Chairman of the West Coast Cousins is all I needed to hear.
I will never play Fantasy Football in a league from by you anyways.
I would rather boycott your league and your storylines than play under the Donald Trump Administration.
I accept your challenge.
And I'm going to dedicate my win this Sunday to America.
I feel like I'm Captain America and it's up to me.
A skinny Fantasy Manager with the heart of a Champion.
I will take down Hydra and I will take down Trump.


[President Trump]
Jenni Zayn, you just signed your death wish.
However, there is one more issue that I wanted to address.
Like any good businessman, when your assets are no longer valuable to you,
it's time to cut ties with those assets.
So Single H, I've decided that I don't want any McMahons having anything controlling interest in my Fantasy League.
Which is why I've hired a new General Manager to run Wednesday Night Preview.
In other words, Single H.
You're fired.


[Single H]
Trump! What are you talking about?
Hey! I'm not through with you yet, Donald.
Get back on the screen.
You can't replace me!
I run this league!
I am the West Coast Cousins.
Who could you possibly have hired to replace me?























CM PUP's Music Hits


[Ranallo]
OH MY GOD!
IT'S CM PUP!
CM PUP AND PAUL HEYMAN!



[Paul Heyman]
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and I am the Advocate for the Voice of the Voiceless, CM PUP.
And I am newly appointed GENERAL MANAGER of WEDNESDAY NIGHT PREVIEW!

*Crowd Cheers*



[Paul Heyman]
At this time, my client, CM PUP would like to address the WCC Universe.


[CM PUP]
Oh, how the tables have turned.
Look at you, you can't stand it.
You can't stand that you've been replaced.
You want to hear some hard truths, Mr. Authority?
How's this for hard truths?
I am, the single greatest Fantasy Manager that has ever played in this league.
And after this Sunday, I cement my legacy.
There's one constant in the Wrestling Storyline Era of the WCC.
And that's me.
I've been in every FantasyMania main event in the last four years.
Where's Dolph Riggler?
Where's Sandy Orton?
Where's The Big Red Machine Vane?
Nowhere to be found.
But here I am, main eventing the biggest event of the season, once again.
Next season, Jenni Zayn will be no where to be found.
And I will be playing in the Championship game, once again.


[CM PUP]
There's only one resume comparable to mine.
And that's the Cerebral Sandwich.
Only, you're not so cerebral these days, are you?
Your best days come from the very start of the league.
 Before waiver wires were introduced and the person with the fastest internet connection had the best team.
Back when YOU were Commissioner of your own league.
Now, I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
But 3 straight Championship victories while you served as Commissioner... and zero since you've stepped down.
I mean, we'll give you credit.
You're the 49ers of the 80s and 90s before salary cap was introduced.
You're the New York Yankees.
And me?
I'm the New England Patriots.
My dominance over my period of time is simply more impressive than yours.
I'm not the greatest Fantasy Manager of the "Modern Era."
That's just a buzzword that somebody in the back made up.
They probably want to put it on a T-Shirt.
No, I'm the Greatest Fantasy Manager of all time.
And now, I've beaten The Authority.
I've outsmarted the McMahons.
Because you see, I own the Bullet Club.
I've been playing you this whole time.
The Bullet Club works for the Heyman Regime.
And Kenn Balor?
Well... I guess you could say, he's a Paul Heyman Guy.


Kenn Balor drop kicks Single H.


[Kenn Balor]
I want ta take tis time to apologize to absolutely nobody.
Because ta Bullet Club does what ta fook tey want!
Single H, your ass is grass and I'm ta lawn mower.


The Bullet Club signal for the end of The Authority.




Jenni Zayn attempts to help by taking out as many members of the Bullet Club as she can.



It's not enough, as Kenn Balor seizes control.


Jenni Zayn falls victim to the numbers game.


CM PUP watches in approval as Jenni Zayn is carted off.



[Single H]
You're our last hope, Zayn.
The Great Inactive Hope.
The entire West Coast Cousins is counting on you.
You get healthy and you come back on Sunday.
You've got to beat The Bullet Club.
You've got to beat President Trump.



[Ranallo]
Is this the end of the McMahon era as we know it?
Have the Bullet Club put the final nail in the coffin?
Who will remain in power after Sunday?
Is this the end of Inactives or the end of Trump?
Most importantly, who will walk out as the 2016 WCC League Champion?
Kenn Balor.
Jenni Zayn.
You won't want to miss this.
Thank you and goodnight.
We will see you on Sunday for the Finale of the 2016 West Coast Cousins Fantasy Football League.

WCC Week 15 Recap: FantasyMania Round 2



[Ranallo]
We are live in Osaka, Japan.
The setting for what will surely be an epic second round of FantasyMania!


[Ranallo]
Good evening folks, Mauro Ranallo with my broadcast partner, Corey Graves.
Tonight, we determine the 2016 FantasyMania main event!


[Ranallo]
The King of Animal Style looks to fend off the Bullet Club Leader.
Shinsuke Nickamura taking on Kenn Balor.
Both Superstars have had a tremendous season thus far, but tonight, one Superstar's season comes to an end.


[Graves]
Oh, but let's not forget...
The Inactive Sensation versus the Eater of Worlds.
Jenni Zayn has upset nearly every Superstar she has come across.
One more upset, and she makes history.
Can Jenni Zayn be the first Inactive to headline FantasyMania?
Or will Minh Wyatt continue his dominant season?
Both Fantasy Managers have shown flashes of greatness.
But only will one main event FantasyMania.

Backstage Interview


[Renee Young]
Shinsuke, last week on Preview, you made your triumph return to West Coast Cousins.
At one point, you were considered the strongest Fantasy Manager in the league.
But after stumbling in the last few weeks, you have to prove yourself against the season's Scoring Champion.
How will this season be different, knowing that your predecessors have failed on this stage? 


[Shinsuke Nickamura]
Renee, I don't know what you say.
Previously lose at FantasyMania before.
But I, will win.
Because I am KING OF ANIMAL STYLE!


[Shinsuke Nickamura]
In Japan, guns are outlaw.
Which mean, in Japan.
There is no Bullet Club.
Only The Club.
And The Club job to the New Day.


[Shinsuke Nickamura]
YEEEE-OH!

Promo Package


[Kenn Balor]
Wat you are lookin' at.
Is te greatest faction tat has ever played Fantasy Football.
Bad Luck Fale.
Ta Machine Gun, Karl Anderson.
Doc Gallows.
Kenny Omega.
Ta Young Books.
Kenn Balor.
We do whatever we want.
Whenever we want.


[Kenn Balor]
Ta Bullet Club has taken over your Fantasy League.
We are not a group.
We are legends of ta sport.
Khan Antonio Brown.
Zack Ryder.
JJ Styles.
Rockson Stark.
Hillary Clinton.
Vic Ambrose.
Vince MacMahon.
Tat's just a few victims on our list.
And we're just getting 'tarted.


Oh my God! Balor looks unstoppable.


Coupe de Ken! Look out!


Is there a more dangerous group than the Bullet Club?
Who could possibly stop these men?


*Nickamura's violins*


There may not be a Superstar more equipped to take on the Bullet Club, than Nickamura!


Having battled the Bullet Club all over Japan, Shinsuke Nickamura knows what he's dealing with.


Nickamura has never looked better.
The longest reigning FXT Universal Champion of the regular season.


Shinsuke Nickamura will go to any length to beat the Bullet Club.
Nickamura may be the only hope.


The King of Animal Style
Shinsuke Nickamura


The Demon King
Kenn Balor


Kenn Balor's Music Hits


[Kenn Balor]
We're coming ta you live.
It's ta Bullet Club, bitch!



[Graves]
What an entrance by that man.
Kenn Balor looks focused.
He's prepared.
He desperately wants to make it to the FantasyMania main event for the 4th straight year.
Nickamura stands in his way, but you almost have to considered Nickamura the underdog.
Nickamura is winless at FantasyMania, and Balor has put on impressive FantasyMania performances in the past few seasons.
It's almost as if Balor shines on this stage and Nickamura shies away.

[Ranallo]
But we definitely can't count Nickamura out.
This may have been his strongest season ever.
Shinsuke Nickamura will bring it, rest assured.


[Graves]
Look at the focus in the eyes of the Demon King.
Balor is ready.


Nickamura's Music Hits


[Ranallo]
Here comes the King of Animal Style!
In front of his home country, Japan.


[Graves]
He's definitely a King amongst these fans, Mauro.
But will he become King of West Coasteros?
Tonight, we find out if Shinsuke has what it's takes to headline the biggest show of the season.



Osaka goes wild as Nickamura poses for the fans.


Kenn Balor is focused in his corner.


Nickamura in his.


[Roberts]
Introducing first, he is the 3rd seed.
Hailing from San Francisco, California...
Holding a Professional Playoff Record of 7 wins and 5 losses...
THE DEMON KING...
KENNNNNNN
BALOOOOOOR!


[Roberts]
And his opponent...
Making his 4th FantasyMania appearance...
With a Professional Playoff Record of 0 wins and 3 losses...
The King of Animal Style!
SHINESUKE
NICKAMURAAAAAAAA!

Playoff Match
[3] Kenn Balor (8-5)
vs.
[2] Shinsuke Nickamura (9-4)


The bell rings and this match is underway.



Another kick to the face by Balor.


Nickamura reverses, goes for the Bomaye!

1-2...

KICKOUT by Balor!


Kenn Balor taking control now.


Ken de Grace!

1-2-3!

Winner via Pinfall and ADVANCING to the FantasyMania FINALS:
Kenn Balor


[Ranallo]
Balor has done it!
For the 4th straight season, Kenn Balor will main event FantasyMania!


[Ranallo]
He's won it all before, but will he be only the 3rd Fantasy Manager to become a multiple time World Champion?
The leader of the Bullet Club seems to excel at this point of the year.
One more victory and Balor becomes a 2x League Champion.


[Graves]
And what a shame for Nickamura.
Another strong season by this Fantasy Manager, but once again... his season ends in heart break.
Nickura, like his predecessors have been unsuccessful every time he's played in FantasyMania.
Perhaps next season, Nickamura will finally break the streak.


Stephaneah and Single H celebrate as Kenn Balor picks up the win.


[Ranallo]
One half of the puzzle is complete.
Kenn Balor advances to the Championship game.
But who will he face?



[Minh Wyatt]
Do you hear that?
That my friend, is the sound of the end.


[Minh Wyatt]
The end of the hopes and dreams of one, Jenni Zayn.
You see, there are no such things as happy endings.
Happy endings are for stories that haven't finished yet.


[Minh Wyatt]
Tonight, Jenni Zayn's story ends and mine begins.
I am been triumphant in my reign of terror.
Hahahahaha...
But on my conquest, I have been missing the final piece of the puzzle. 


[Minh Wyatt]
And when I capture what is rightfully mine...
I will rule the Fantasy Kingdom.
And you will all kneel before your rightful God.
Let me tell you something that they don't teach you in school....
The man you praise, God.
And the one you fear, the Devil.
They're one in the same.
You love the man you loathe.
Hahahaha...
There is no God and there is no Devil.
Just me.
Tonight marks the end.
RUN.


[Graves]
And there she is, Mauro.
The Inactive Sensation, Jenni Zayn.
There will be no running for this Fantasy Manager.


[Graves]
She will show up to this match.
Jenni Zayn has everything on the line tonight.
Will she make history and become the first Inactive to play in the main event of FantasyMania?
We're gonna find out next.

Promo Package


1-2-3!
Jenni Zayn with another victory!


Jenni Zayn has shown that not only can she compete in the WCC...
But she is one of the best Fantasy Managers in the league!


But now that Zayn has made it this far into the playoffs...
She faces elite competition.


Will Jenni Zayn be able to rise to the top?
Or is this the final destination for the Inactive Sensation?



[Minh Wyatt]
Your world will kneel before me.
All season long, there hasn't been a Fantasy Manager more dominant than I.
All season, I've shown what I can do at full strength.
This is my final form.
Prepare for annihilation of the West Coast Cousins.
Hahahahaha


Minh Wyatt is more dangerous than ever before.
His cult like following is growing.
If Minh Wyatt can capture the WCC World Heavyweight Championship...
It could mean the end of serialization as we know it.



Sister Abigail by Minh Wyatt!
Goodnight.
This Fantasy Manager is scary.
There's a reason he's the Number 1 seed.


Jenni Zayn's Music Hits


[Roberts]
Introducing first, she is the 4th seed, representing Seattle, Washington...
Holding a Professional Playoff Record of 2 wins and 1 loss...
THE INACTIVE SENSATION!
JENNI ZAYN!


[Ranallo]
Undoubtedly, a heavy underdog tonight.
But that should come to no surprise for Jenni Zayn.
She's been the underdog all season long.
The entire league laughed at her when she drafted Eli Manning with the first pick.
But look at her now...
Much like her quarterback Dak Prescott, she has come out of no where.
One more win and she would make history.

Minh Wyatt's Music Hits


The fireflies come out as Minh Wyatt makes his entrance.


[Graves]
It certainly won't be easy to make history against this Superstar...
Some would argue that Minh Wyatt has been the strongest Fantasy Manager of the season.
But the entire season comes down to this.
Minh Wyatt is just one game away from the main event of FantasyMania.


then crawling back...
back to the top.


[Roberts]
And her opponnent, making his 7th FantasyMania appearance...
Holding a Professional Playoff Record of 4 wins and 6 losses...
The Number 1 seed..
MINH WYATT!

Playoff Match
[4] Jenni Zayn (8-5)

[1] Minh Wyatt (10-3)


Jenni Zayn and Minh Wyatt size each other up.



Minh Wyatt taking control early.


Jenni Zayn surprises Minh with a sitting powerbomb!
I think Minh Wyatt is hurt!
Minh Wyatt took a huge bump!


Can it be? Can Jenni Zayn pull off the upset?
Jenni Zayn puts on the El Generico mask!


[Ranallo]
Jenni Zayn has powered up to her final form!
This could signal the end of Minh Wyatt.


But Minh Wyatt suddenly gets up on his feet!


Sister Abigail! This could be it.
The Cinderella Story coming to a close...

1-2... KICKOUT BY ZAYN!


Jenni Zayn trying to fight back.


Uh oh.... Minh Wyatt is calling for the end.
Another Sister Abigail and Jenni Zayn is done.


FROM OUT OF NO WHERE!


It's Sandy Orton!
Sandy Orton just hit the RKO on Minh Wyatt!

[Graves]
What the hell is Sandy Orton doing!
Sandy Orton swore allegiance to Minh Wyatt and the Wyatt Family!


Jenni Zayn is confused, but takes advantage of the situation.


1-2-3!

Winner via Pinfall and ADVANCING to the FantasyMania FINALS:
Jenni Zayn


[Ranallo]
Oh my God!
She's done it.
The Inactive Sensation is going to headline FantasyMania!
We are witnessing history in the making.
Jenni Zayn has broken the glass ceiling.
She's going to the main event.
Only a select few have ever headlined FantasyMania, but never before has an Inactive made it this far!

[Graves]
This is amazing.
I never thought I'd see the day...
Jenni Zayn has done it.


Jenni Zayn celebrates as the Osaka crowd goes nuts.


The Bullet Club's Music Hits


Uh oh... here comes trouble.
Kenn Balor makes his way out to the ring.


Balor points at Zayn.


Zayn points at Balor.

Our main event is set.
