Narrator
Back in Earth-616, Kendrick Stark is reviewing the encrypted files.
Kendrick Stark opens the first file - doomsday.mp4
Earth-2017
Narrator
As the clip begins, we see footage of a world ending event from Earth-2017.
Narrator
We see a man in a blue suit and a red cape fighting what appears to be
a monstrous alien lifeform, Doomsday.
Narrator
The man in the red cape begins to levitate
much to the dismay of Kendrick Stark.
As the man in the red cape is flying,
the monster attacks him and sends him crashing into the ground.
Narrator
As Stark continues to review the footage,
he notices a Batman variant in the clip, watching the battle in the background.
Narrator
We hear a voiceover from the Batman variant.
Batman
The truth is, we needed Kal-El.
Without Kal-El, we couldn't beat Doomsday.
And if not for Superman, everything we fought for would have been lost that day.
Batman
Superman saved us.
But that doesn't mean I was wrong about him.
As it turns out, I was right.
Kal-El is not one of us. He is not human.
He is beyond this world and capable of the complete and total extinction of mankind.
Batman
I knew, that if somehow Kal-El became corrupt, there was no way to defeat him.
And that's exactly what happened in my world.

Batman
By the time Superman made his move, most of the Justice League was already gone.
But even at full strength, I doubt we could've stopped him.

The man in the red cape lands onto the ground.
His eyes turn red as the footage ends on doomsday.mp4.
WEST COAST KANG:
THE RISE OF THE CONQUEROR
Episode Six - WarGames
Earth-415
Narrator
After months and months of hard work,
Dr. Oppenheimer and his team have put the finishing touches on
the new and improved 'Fear Toxin' compound.
Their work on Protocol 10 is now complete.
Narrator
With an upcoming demonstration with Meta shareholders,
Dr. Oppenheimer takes one more look at his work before handing it off to Meta HQ.
Dr. Otto Octavius
Dr. Oppenheimer.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
Otto. I'm surprised to see you here.
Dr. Otto Octavius
I thought I'd try one more time, Robert.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
We've been over this, Octavius.
The chances that the Fear Toxin starts a chemical reaction that ignites the atmosphere is near zero.
The only way it could possibly happen is under extremely rare circumstances.
An atomic bomb does not have anywhere near the temperatures
and pressure needed to ignite the atmosphere.
Dr. Otto Octavius
But why take that chance at all?
There is a non-zero chance that you end the world.
And why build a bomb in the first place?
This type of weapon... it could be the end of us.
If the Fear Toxin is just a chemical compound, then at least-
J. Robert Oppenheimer
It's what Mr. Zuckerberg wanted.
He asked for a bomb. Biochemical warfare.
Warfare? Since when did this become about war?
J. Robert Oppenheimer
Terrorist threats and the world's leading dictators won't take this compound willingly.
It'll be used as a deterrent first and foremost,
and if needed, the US Government can decide to use it by force.
You keep telling yourself that, Robert.
I'd hate for you to become their shill.
Don't do it. Don't hand over this weapon to Zuckerberg.
Dr. Octavius leaves a dejected Dr. Oppenheimer,
he tries to hide it, but Otto's words sting.
Norman Osborn
Robert! There you are!
They're waiting for you out there.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
Who's waiting?
Norman Osborn
Norman Osborn
Everyone!
Smile for God's sake, this is a huge accomplishment.
Mr. Zuckerberg called and said he couldn't wait to see the compound in person.
J. Robert Oppenheimer
Yes, well, we're still weeks away from the demo.
Norman Osborn
Prepare the shipment, Oppie.
Zuckerberg and his team would like to inspect the compound before the demo.
Now go on and celebrate. Come on, everyone's waiting for you!
As Oppenheimer steps out, he's greeted by a thunderous applause.
His fellow scientists and peers lift him into the air as he raises his hat in triumph.
Meanwhile, back inside the lab,
Norman Osborn remains inside as he examines the vials of Fear Toxin.
Norman Osborn
I'm sorry, Robert. But this is beyond your control now.

Folks, welcome back to Wednesday Night Preview here in Earth-KANG.
If you missed our Week 5 Recap, at the conclusion of the show,
Drew Minhtyre took it upon himself to viciously assault Vincent Rhodes.
Now by order of Chief Content Officer, Vincent 'Kang' McMahon,
a Week 6 matchup has been announced between Drew Minhtyre and Vincent Rhodes.
Now we go live to ringside for the contract signing.
Vincent Rhodes
Drew Minhtyre, before we sign this contract for Sunday's match.
I want to make one thing perfectly clear. I understand who you are.
I understand all that you've done. You've been in the League 16 years.
Former League Leader in points.
The Original Face of Fear.
The Phenom, the Prince of Darkness.
Vincent Rhodes
We all respect you, Drew.
But what we don't respect, is what you've become!
Over the years, you've become nothing but a bully.
I know a coward when I see one.
A coward is someone who blindsides someone after their match.
A coward blames management for their failures.
I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt, but it seems you always have an excuse.
Drew Minhtyre
An excuse?
It's not an excuse if it's true.
Time and time again, management has continued to neglect me.
I don't get the same push as some of these other Fantasy Managers.
I don't get the same recognition. And why not?
I'm more charismatic than you, Vincent Rhodes.
I am a bigger star than you.
But if you really want me to unleash the Monster inside of me...
maybe that's what it'll take for the entire WCC Universe to put some respect on my name.
Drew Minhtyre
I understand your position, Vincent Rhodes.
You're the new poster boy, the new John Seana.
And just like they did with him, they're going to give you undeserved opportunities.
And just like him, you'll never finish your damn story.
You're the flavor of the month.
The Labubu of the West Coast Cousins.
But let me be the first to warn you, that flavor isn't going to last.
I was in your position many years ago.
They give you the ball and expect you to run with it.
But in this microwave TikTok age, the fans get tired quick.
They're gonna turn on you and move onto the next big thing before you know it.
Drew Minhtyre
These people have the attention span of a goldfish.
And when the fans turn on you, so will management.
Then all the shiny bright lights, all the fame and fortune, it's all gone.
And then you'll be in my shoes and thinking to yourself...
'Drew was right.'
Vincent Rhodes
Drew, you might be right. In a few years, I might not be the flavor of the month.
But you're wrong about one thing.
You don't get to tell the fans what to think.
Because it's not about my story or your story.
It's their story.
It is their right to cheer for who they want to cheer for and root for who they want to root for.
All these people, all the fans, they make what we do possible.
So whether I'm still the poster boy or not,
while I am here, I am going to do everything in my power to finish my story.
And it starts with beating you this Sunday at WarGames!
Vincent Rhodes signs the contract.
Drew Minhtyre
That's good. That's wonderful.
You always know how to say the right things, I'll give you that.
But this Sunday, I want you to check your Fantasy App.
I want you to look closely.
I want to see the devastation on your face when you realize you've lost.
The look of disappointment when Yahoo Sports gives you a 3% chance of winning...
And then, I'll close the book on your stupid story.
Drew Minhtyre signs the contract.
Michael Cole
This match is official!
Drew Minhtyre vs. Vincent Rhodes at WarGames!
Michael Cole
Wait a minute! Minhtyre with a cheap shot!
The Glasglow kiss headbutt to Vincent Rhodes!
Vincent stumbling out of the ring and Minhtyre looking to have the last laugh.
Michael Cole
And a brawl is underway!
Pat McAfee
Oh! Here we go!
Minhtyre throwing Rhodes into our laps here at commentary.
Michael Cole
No, don't do it! Minhtyre is gonna do to Rhodes what he did this past Sunday.
Pat McAfee
Not again!

The White Rabbit
DO IT!
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR... DO IT!
The White Rabbit
REVEL IN WHAT YOU ARE...
UNLEASH THE MONSTER INSIDE OF YOU!
FINISH HIS STORY....
Drew Minhtyre refrains from kicking Vincent Rhodes' head in.
Drew Minhtyre
Look at what I've given you...
You should be grateful, Vincent.
Grateful that I let you live another day.
*Crowd Boos*
Michael Cole
Michael Cole
Adam Pearce does not look happy with Drew Minhtyre...
Look out! Vincent Rhodes is back in the ring...
Rhodes with the suicide dive onto Minhtyre!
Michael Cole
And now the brawl continues!
The 4th year Fantasy Manager taking it to Drew Minhtyre!
Michael Cole
As these officials try to separate these Fantasy Managers and restore order,
Minhtyre comes charging in again!
Things have gotten out of hand here on Wednesday Night Preview!
Pat McAfee
I say let 'em fight! Why wait for WarGames?
Michael Cole
Oh! Drew Minhtyre with the boot to the face!
And now the 2nd place Fantasy Manager is down.
Drew Minhtyre
You did this... you did this, Vincent.
You're gonna provoke me and make me unleash the monster...
Remember Vincent, you did this!

*Kevin Owens Music Hits*
Michael Cole
Welcome back to Preview, ladies and gentlemen.
As we are joined by Kevin Owens, and after an 0-3 start,
Kevin Owens has now put on strong performances in back to back weeks.
Let's see what the Prize Fighter has to say.
Kevin Owens
For those of you who may be unaware, my name is Kevin Owens.
And I'll admit, it was a bit of a slow start to the season.
But now, I am putting the entire League on notice.
Kevin Owens has arrived!
*Crowd Cheers*
Kevin Owens
Ashton Jeanty, Emeka Egbuka, Omarion Hampton.
These are just a few of the new faces on my Fantasy Team
that will change the course of the West Coast Cousins.
For all the Fantasy Managers currently in the Top 6, I just have one message.
Hold on.
Hold onto that spot as hard as you can.
Because I am gunning for you.
Kevin Owens
Make no mistake, I am the most feared sub .500 team in the League right now.
Nobody wants to say it, but everyone is ducking Kevin Owens.
But I'm not ducking anyone. I want all the smoke.
Starting with the current #1 Ranked Manager in the League.
Rockson Reigns! I'm calling you out, Tribal Chief!
Let's see if you're as good as advertised... come on out because I'm challenging you at WarGames!
BURN IT DOWN!
*Tai Rollins' Music Hits*
Council of Kangs
oooohhHH.....OHHHH.....OHHHH.....
oooohhHH.....OHHHH.....OHHHH.....
OHHHH......OHHHH.....
Tai "Freakin'" Rollins
Kevin, Kevin...man to man, I just wanted to come out here and say one thing.
I respect you.
Hell, last night at FantasyPalooza, I got to see your abilities firsthand.
And you took it to me.
You're a hell of a Fantasy Manager.
I don't care what the record says, if you keep this up, you're one to watch.
But, I do have to give you a word of advice. Rockson Reigns, he's not one to take lightly.
I have a long history with Rockson Reigns and I know just how dangerous he is.
Tai "Freakin'" Rollins
Hell, if I didn't stop him last season, he could've won it all.
It took my very best to beat him in the Semi-Finals last season.
I had to score 151.62 points to topple the Tribal Chief.
Kevin Owens
Trust me, Tai. I know what I'm getting myself into.
Tai "Freakin'" Rollins
With all due respect, Kevin. I don't think you do.
We're talking about Rockson Reigns and his entire Bloodline.
Not to mention, his Wiseman, Paul Heyman.
If you're gonna go after him, you'll need a plan of attack.
Kevin Owens
With all due respect, I don't see how this has anything to do with you, Tai.
Tai "Freakin'" Rollins
Kevin, in this League, there are very few people I dislike more than Rockson Reigns.
I will never team up with Rockson Reigns ever again.
And I will make it my life's mission to stop him.
So, I am offering my services to you.
Like I said, you're a hell of a Manager and I would like to help you defeat Rockson Reigns.
Kevin Owens
Why do I get the feeling that this offer has a string attached?
Tai "Freakin'" Rollins
No strings. I just want to see Rockson Reigns lose.
But... if you feel so inclined, once we put Rockson Reigns down,
if you'd like to vote with me to put an end to the Kang Games...
Kevin Owens
Ah, there it is.
You don't want to help me, you just want to stop the games.
Tai "Freakin'" Rollins
No, Kevin. It's not like that.
I truly do want to see Rockson Reigns lose.
Nothing would make me happier than to see Rockson Reigns fall,
but even if you do get the win on Sunday, if the Kang Games continue... we're all in trouble.
Listen, you don't have to decide now.
But if we win, would you at least consider it?
*Rockson Reigns Music Hits*
Pat McAfee
Look at the aura! Look at our Tribal Chief!
I acknowledge you, Rockson Reigns!
Michael Cole
He is the #1 Ranked Fantasy Manager in the League.
After a dominate regular season in 2024,
Rockson Reigns is back and looks as strong as ever entering Week 6.
No doubt, he'll look to finish the job this season and win the Kang Games.
Pat McAfee
Tai Rollins would hate that.
He hates it so much, he's decided to work with Kevin Owens to stop him!
Rockson Reigns and the Bloodline enter the ring.
Rockson Reigns
Let me get this straight...
The two of you are teaming up to face me at WarGames?
That's two Fantasy Teams against one.
Seems a bit... unfair if you ask me.
Kevin Owens
It's WarGames. The match is meant to be played in teams.
Now, if you can't find a partner at WarGames,
you're welcome to enter the match with just the Bloodline.
But the rumor backstage is, you've always asked around and nobody wants to team with you.
So sorry, Reigns. But it seems you might be shorthanded on Sunday.
Pat McAfee
What's Rockson Reigns gonna do guys?
Paul Heyman
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN....
*Crowd Cheers*
Paul Heyman
MY NAME IS PAUL HEYMAN...
And by my math, I see Tai "Freakin'" Rollins and his entire Fantasy Team...
alongside Kevin Owens and his entire Fantasy Team...
Meanwhile, Rockson Reigns is all alone with the Bloodline.
Kevin, it is true that we have scoured the Fantasy League for a tag team partner.
Paul Heyman
But what's not true... is that we couldn't find anyone...
Paul Heyman points to the entrance ramp.
*CM PUP's Music Hits*
The crowd pops as CM PUP walks out towards the ring.
CM PUP comes charging into the ring, going after Tai "Freakin'" Rollins.
Kevin Owens with a Stunner on Rockson Reigns!
Now the Bloodline, taking it to Owens on the outside.
Michael Cole
It is chaos in the ring!
Security and officials doing their best to separate CM PUP and Tai Rollins.
Michael Cole
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
Back inside the ring... POP UP POWERBOMB BY KEVIN OWENS!
Michael Cole
And as the rest of the Bloodline jump back in the ring,
Kevin Owens high tails it into the crowd.
Pat McAfee
Yeah! He better run!
As my pal Vin Diesel always says, you don't mess with family!
Sam LaPorta looks on as Kevin Owens stares at him from the crowd.
*Crowd Cheers*
Rockson Reigns gets back onto his feet as he stares at his WarGames partner, CM PUP.
Michael Cole
An unlikely alliance, as CM PUP will join Rockson Reigns at WarGames
to face off against the team of Kevin Owens and Tai Rollins.
But that's not all.
Drew Minhtyre takes on Vincent Rhodes,
John Seana goes one on one with AL-LEX Knight,
CFL takes on Loud Play Justin Styles and much, much more!
