Back in the WCC Universe, President Trump's WCC Preview is live but with surprisingly low attendance as less than half the crowd is at the live event.
Bobby Roode taking on Shinsuke Nickamura in the main event and Bobby Roode is dominating the match.
DDT!
The pain is too much for Nickamura to handle and Nickamura throws in the towel.
He's taps, calling it quits on the match.
Winner via Submission: Bobby Roode
Ranallo
Nickamura's losing streak continues.
Ever since last season's FantasyMania, Shinsuke Nickamura has failed to win a match.
And a surprising decision to throw in the towel in this Championship match.
The WCC Universe is beginning to wonder...
Is Shinsuke Nickamura developing a reputation as a quitter?
President Trump holds a rally to discuss his transition as owner of the WCC.
Reporter
Mr. President, it appears that attendance rates are at an all time low in the WCC.
How much of this can be attributed to the departure of Vince McMahon and the leadership of the new regime?
Donald Trump
First of All, I'd Like to Say That These Reports are Absolutely Bogus.
Attendance Rates Have Never Been Higher.
Photographs of our Crowds Were Intentionally Framed in a Way to Minimize the Enormous Support of our Administration.
The West Coast Cousins Wrestling Division is Stronger Than Ever.
Reports That our Crowds are Somehow Diminished and That our Product has Been Weakened are Fake News.
We Have lots of WCC Superstars and a lot of Very Good Fantasy Managers in our League.
I've Got a Team of Extraordinarily Smart People.
Brilliant People.
And We're Going to Make the WCC Great Again.
I Assure You.
WCC Wrestling Has Never Been Stronger.
Reporter
Mr. President, it appears the XFL had a successful week 1 and the storylines have shifted over to that side. What does this mean for the Wrestling storylines and do you feel the XFL is competition for the WCC?
Especially since you've lost stars like The Baugh to the XFL?
Donald Trump
The XFL is Not My Competition.
I've Beaten Vince McMahon Once Before.
I'm Focused on Making the WCC Greater.
The Baugh is a Dear Friend of Mine.
He Turned Down My Offer to Appear in the WCC, but I Assure You.
The Baugh is a Friend.
I Have no Qualms About the XFL.
They Will do What They do and as Long as They Stay Out of My Way, I Have No Issues With Vince McMahon.
President Trump meets with his advisors after the rally.
Donald Trump
Where is Balor and the Bullet Club?
Sean Spicer
I believe he's undergoing another round of brainwashing.
Donald Trump
Bring Him to Me.
Sean Spicer
But sir, he's in the middle of his session.
I think it'd be wise...
Donald Trump
I said Bring Him to Me.
Longing.
Rusted.
Furnance.
Daybreak.
Seventeen.
Benign.
Nine.
Homecoming.
Balor rises.
Donald Trump
You Have Your Orders, Balor.
Repeat Them to Me.
Balor
Kill them all.
All of the Fantasy Managers in the XFL.
Vince McMahon.
The Baugh.
Covfefe
SCGD.
Minh.
Justin.
Jesse.
Kill them all.
Narrator
In the trenches of San Francisco, a familiar face has transitioned from a life of Professional Wrestling to the world of Fantasy Football Coaching.
The Baugh struggles to get his players to listen to him after a Week 1 loss to the San Antonio Outlaws.
The Baugh
Damnit! You're telling me you guys don't know how to spell Mustangs?
M-U-S-T-A-N-G-S!
How do we expect to be Fantasy Champions if you guys can't even spell?
Darren McFadden
Coach, we ain't win.
But at least we got to hit people, right?
The Baugh
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA!Who in the blue hell are you?
Darren McFadden
Coach, it's me.
Darren-
The Baugh
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!
Darren McFadden, yeah, yeah.
The Baugh knows who you are.
And the Baugh also knows that you gave me 0 points in Week 1.
But at least we got to hit people!
Jabroni, know your role and shut your mouth.
We got to hit people?
That's the exact mentality that got you in this place.
Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Aaron Hernandez.
They like hitting people too.
You want to end up like them?
Yo, whatever man.
I quit dog.
I had enough of this shit.
500 degrees and y'all doing wind sprints?
The Baugh
If you can't accept the challenge then you're not good enough to call yourself a Mustang, McFadden.
You hear me?
You want to come back out here, we'll be out here working our asses off.
If you wanna come back out, make sure you bring a heart next time.
Darren McFadden walks off on the team.
The Baugh
Right now, you're all losers.
McFadden is a loser.
He quit on us, but I won't quit on you.
Do you want to be a quitter or a winner?
Are you a Nick Wong or are you a winner?
Week 1 was unacceptable.
But I guaran-damn-tee you this.
By the end of this season.
You're all gonna be winners.
If we work together and play as a team, we're gonna be winners.
Now let's start by getting a win in Week 2 against the Flaming Flames.

Cari Champion
Welcome back to First Take.
Skip, last week you predicted that Covfefe would bring relevancy back to the Permian Panthers.
Not only did Covfefe lead his team to victory, but the Permian Panthers scored the 2nd highest total for the week.
Skip, is it too early to say I told you so?
Skip Bayless
Cari, it is not too early to say I told you so.
Stephen A. Smith, I told you so.
You told me that Covfefe had a terrible draft.
You told me he had no defense.
He had no kicker.
Covfefe added Blair Walsh for a strong 10 points.
And the biggest pickup of the week?
Jacksonville who scored a league high 28 points on defense.
Stephen A., Covfefe is back.
And that's not to mention the Steal of the Draft.
Kareem Hunt!
Exploding for 40.60 points!
Stephen A. all Covfefe does is win!
Stephen A. Smith
Skip Bayless, I am not ready to concede to your point.
It's been one week.
You can't tell me a fluke win isn't possible.
Until Covfefe scores 114 points every week, you can't tell me Covfefe is an elite Fantasy Manager.
And the real test comes this week when he faces off against the League Champion!
4 straight Finals appearances!
The LeBron James of West Coast Cousins.
Coach Ken and the T.C. Titans.
Skip Bayless
While the T.C. Titans have been a stronger contender for the past few seasons,
Covfefe is going to SCHOOL the Titans on Sunday.
Tom Brady, as much as I like the guy.
I'm not afraid to say it.
It looks like he lost a step.
The T.C. Titans don't look nearly as good as they did last season.
I think Covfefe takes this one.
Stephen A. Smith
Skip, Covfefe is shaking in his boots when it comes to this matchup.
This is a statement game.
When you talk about legacy.
When you talk about the greatest Fantasy Manager of all time.
You're talking about 2 Fantasy Managers.
Covfefe and Coach Ken.
Covfefe has the most Championship titles.
He has the 3peat.
But outside of that, Coach Ken's resume is stronger.
4 straight Championship appearances.
2 Championship titles.
And winning in an era where waiver priorities have been implemented?
Winning in a league with 12 Fantasy Managers.
And not to mention, Covfefe won all 3 titles while he was commissioner.
You can't tell me his Championship titles aren't tainted.
We need to be an asterisk next all h Covfefe's Championship titles.
But let me tell you the most important piece of evidence.
Covfefe is shaking in his boots because he knows.
He knows that one more Championship win for Coach Ken and there is no debate.
If Coach Ken ties Covfefe in Championship titles, Covfefe is no longer in the conversation.
Coach Ken is hands down the best Fantasy Manager in the league.
And Covfefe can't stand it.
This is a huge game.
Covfefe will need to bring his A game, but even then, I don't think the Permian Panthers are any match for the T.C. Titans.
Tom Brady is seen playing with his hair.
He is clearly unhappy that Coach Ken enforced a team rule that required Brady to cut his hair shorter.
Avon Barksdale
Ayo, Sunshine.
All that rubbing ain't gonna make them golden locks grow back faster.
Now ya know that huh?
Tom Brady
Yeah?
And who the hell are you.
Avon extends his hand.
Avon Barksdale
Avon Barksdale.
But my friends call me "Jes".
Tom Brady
Yeah, well I ain't your friend.
And I don't shake hands with defensive players.
Brady walks off by is quickly stopped by Coach Ken.
Coach Ken
Now listen here, Tommy.
Last week was unacceptable.
Now we got the win, but we're gonna need more from you this week.
This is a big game coming up.
A legacy game.
Now you can throw it a mile, but you can't pitch it 3 yards.
We need you this week, Tom.
10 points just won't cut it.
We need production.
We need touchdowns.
Now can you do that for me?
Tom Brady
Yes, sir.

Narrator
In the suburbs of Seattle, last season's laughing stock, The Mud Dogs have earned themselves a reputation of inactivity.
Having been unable to reach the success of the Average Jen's, Howard's Team, is still widely considered to be a joke despite a Week 1 victory.
Even Howard's players don't respect his Fantasy Managing ability.
Matt Ryan signals a playcall in practice that sends Amari Cooper straight into Coach Howard, who serves as both the team's head coach and water boy.

Sarcastaball
Alright, alright.
Everyone settle down.
We got the Week 1 win, but that's not get ahead of ourselves.
We've still got a long way to go.
Let's look forward to the Mud Dogs on Sunday.
Jay Ajayi
What you mean, Coach?
We spanked the Mean Machine and I ain't even play a game yet.
Beat down of the week without your best player?
Come on, Coach.
We got this.
The West Coast Cousins is easy.
Haha!
Jordy Nelson rolls his eyes in disgust.
Jordy Nelson
To himself:
What's up with these urban players taking all the credit?
Like these high motor, deceptively athletic players didn't do work too.
What about my guys Adam Thielen, Tracis Kelce and Marcus Mariota?
We put in just as much work.
I'm tired of this.

The team's running back, D'Angelo Barksdale comes to the aid of his head coach.
D'Angelo Barksdale
Hey man, why do you let everyone pick on you like that?
Coach Howard
I'm just here to have fun.
Play alongside my cousins, bond with them, you know?
D'Angelo Barksdale
Well, you gotta stand up for yourself.
Take us from the reputation of Inactives into serious contenders.
By the way, you look familiar.
Aren't you that famous Westmoor Football Player?
Coach Howard
Oh no.
That's my cousin, Coach Jesse.
He plays for the Mean Machine.
D'Angelo Barksdale
Oh yeah?
I got a cousin too.
He won a Championship last season with the T.C. Titans.
Avon Barksdale.
I work for him in the family business.
Anyways, it was nice meeting you.
Hold your head up coach.
Coach Howard
What was your name?
D'Angelo Barksdale
People call me D'Angelo, but my real name is Justin.

Ariel Helwani
Odell, last Sunday Coach Justin decided to start you in his lineup despite being injured.
What does this say to the testament of Coach Justin's decision making and commitment to the league?
Odell Beckham Jr.
You know, I can't risk injury right now.
So for Coach to put me into the game, I don't know what that was about.
I heard Coach was in Italy and didn't have any wifi.
Starting Sterling would've gotten the team the win, but hindsight is 20/20.
Ariel Helwani
Do you think that says anything about Justin's character that he's willing to play an injured player in his lineup?
Odell Beckham Jr.
Like I said, I don't know man.
I'm always gonna give it 110% when I'm on that field.
But at the same time, Coaches gotta look out for their players.
The XFL is a business.
The moment you don't produce or get injured for a length of time,
you get cut from the team.
So if the XFL is a business, you can't be mad at the players for looking at it like a business as well.
We gotta get ours and make sure we don't get hurt before that check comes.
I can't say anything about Coach's decision.
I'm an Average Justin and intend to play for the Average Justin's so long as I put that jersey on.
Coach Minh
What do I think of the job Coach Justin has done so far?
I can't really comment.
I'm only concerned with what the Outlaws are doing.
The fact of the matter is, the Outlaws are the best run organization in the league.
These other Coaches play injured players.
Draft hometown players.
Draft injured players.
Go entire drafts without kickers or defenses.
We're not focused on any of that.
We're focused on what we do.
Coach Minh
And for a long time in the West Coast Cousins, the Outlaws have been a staple in the league.
I've been here since the start and we've been one of the most consistent teams in the league.
I've headlined FantasyManias, I've been apart of some great storylines.
But this year? We're about our business.
We're gonna win that League Championship that's been eluding me all these years.
I mean, we have the best running back tandem in the league.
Last year's best running back, David Johnson and the Ezekiel Elliot?
How do you stop a team like that?
Coach Minh
It doesn't matter who's in front of us.
Average Justin's could play injured players.
We're going to beat them regardless of what they do.
We work the hardest, we draft the best.
We are the San Antonio Outlaws.
And I'll tell you what.
I would never play an injured star.
I will always protect my players, no matter the situation.
These are my boys and I have a responsibility as a Coach and as a parent to protect these kids.
The Outlaws run practice ahead of Sunday's game.
From a distance, Balor appears with a sniper rifle.
Balor lets off a shot and an Outlaw is down.
The Outlaws are in shock.
David Johnson, the team's first round pick has been shot.
The Outlaws end practice early as David Johnson is taken to the hospital.
