THE WCWF DRAFT!!!
Paul Heyman and Renee Young welcome us to the show and hypes up Rock Bottom card and how bad his client Kevin Steen would beat AJ Styles. Renee calls that a bold prediction and Paul Heyman refers to it as a spoiler. Renee ask him if he had any words for Brock Lesnar. Heyman says believe or not he actually wishes Brock the best. He says he hopes one day he realizes that he only made a business decision. Heyman jokingly tells Renee to get off his stage she had her own. He ask the fans if they was ready for Rock Bottom, and they pop. He ask them if they was ready to shake things up again in the words of Vince McMahon, and they pop. He introduces first the General Manager of Friday Night WAR!, Shane McMahon. Heyman informs him he can draft one and save one. Shane says the people his first draft pick from Monday Night Rampage would be...
"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels!!! Shawn Michaels music hits and he makes his way out and puts on a WAR! shirt. Shane says the person he would be saving so he could watch this person was...
AJ Styles. William Regal makes his way out prematurely to argue with Shane and says that he only wanted to keep him to screw him over and the two argue and Heyman tries to stop it..."Gentlemen, Gentlemen, GENTLEMEN!!....KEVIN!!!" Kevin Steen's music hits and he makes hits way out to control the chaos. Regal says that's it. He tells Paul Heyman he wanted his first draft pick to be..
World Heavyweight Champion Kevin Steen!! Kevin Steen starts tripping and tells Paul Heyman to do something. Heyman tells Steen he would deal with it after work.
Renee Young is joined by Shawn Michaels and ask him his thoughts. Shawn called it a fresh opportunity and that he's happy he's done with this while E.N.D. drama after Rock Bottom III. Steen joins them on the stage and says he's​ sure as hell would have loved to smash Shawn Michaels face in but he guest they would have to wait until another time. Heyman asked Regal who he was saving and he said that the WCWF Championship is held by a free agent. He says his best chance of preserving the title is by drafting the man who may very well leave Rock Bottom as the champion. He says this man has been the "franchise" of the Rampage brand over the last year and he's says with that he was saving Roman Reigns.
First Round
War Pick- Shawn Michaels
War Save- AJ Styles
Rampage Pick- World Heavyweight Champion Kevin Steen
Rampage Save- Roman Reigns
Heyman says he's glad the chaos is settled and tells them to refrain from arguing because he was trying to keep this professional. He ask Shane who was his next draft pick and he said that his next pick had and eye for the future. He says his next draft pick was with an eye towards the future. He says he was drafting
Jason Jordan. Regal looks sort of mad. Heyman says that's a big loss Reg but I'm sure you have a big gain planned in all of this. Steen interrupts and ask him did he just call him Reg and says Heyman was starting to piss him off with that being nice stuff and that he was out of there. Regal says that now that little brat was out of there he was drafting
the entire Women's Division. Heyman tells Regal not to call his client a brat and informs him he couldn't do that. Regal said he could and as a lawyer Paul should no that. He says that the entire division were free agents and " I've talked to each and every last woman on this roster and they all agreed and they all said they couldn't stand working for you and your out of control sister. You gotta problem step up and I'll knock you on your ass." The two starts arguing again and Heyman calls for Kevin Steen to come back out to handle it. Regal gets mad and tells Heyman to quit sending his lapdog if he had a problem to do something about it. Heyman says he's trying to run a professional show here. He tells Shane to make his next selection.."Gosh act like a bunch of elementary schoolers. They didn't pay me to babysit." Shane McMahon says he's glad that Heyman made a little acquisition. He says that he made one of his own and that he's drafting
WCWF Champion John Cena. Regal says that Cena would have never agreed. Shane said he did because they had something in common and that was that they hated the fans, the hated the other McMahon's, and they hated each and every person sitting in that crowd right now. Fans boo and Shane tells them to shut up and save it for when Kevin Steen beats AJ Styles and John Cena beats Roman Reigns tomorrow night. Regal sighs and slaps his​ forehead. Sponsor in the crowd are discussing amongst each other and Heyman ask them if they had any thoughts to share because this was highly unprofessional. The sponsor ask whether it was a part of the script. This causes William Regal to get mad and start attacking the two man. Regal ask them was that part of the script. Heyman says next year to just leave him as a manager. Heyman ask Regal to just make his next selection. Regal selects
The Rock. Shane McMahon gets pissed and walks off the stage before coming back on stage and cussing out Regal and calling him an ignorant son of a bitch. Steen questions why Shane wasn't this mad when he was drafted. Shane simply says because Steen wasn't The Rock. Steen walks off the stage pissed with the World Title as Heyman tells him to remain calm. Shane says that his next pick was
"The Eater of World's" Bray Wyatt. Regal isn't happy about that. William Regal selects
Finn Bálor as his next pick and this upsets Shane McMahon. Regal says that if Shane was the least bit angered that he should have saved Bálor or Rock instead of saving​ somebody he hates. He tells him that's why he couldn't stand the McMahon and that he hoped Vince and Stephanie didn't make it out the hospital. Heyman says calm down and that things were getting out of control. Shane is ready to fight Regal, who is telling him to bring it on. Triple H comes on stage and whispers something to Heyman. Heyman tells them he was informed by WCWF CEO Paul Levesque that we had to go to commercial break. Heyman adds he thought this was commercial free.
