This week’s show starts off with footage from the Grand Royale, the reverse battle royal that has been a part of FCW for a while. The good news is that it returns tonight.

We are live on tape from Tampa, Florida and your announcers are Chris ‘Maybe I could be the next Thunderbug’ Russo and Byron ‘You only need one arm to do commentary’ Saxton.

We go to the ring where FCW General Manager is with her assistant Norman Smiley. Maxine welcomes everyone and mentions that tonight is the return of the Grand Royale. The winner will face Leo Kruger tonight for the Florida Heavyweight Championship. Norman explains the rules for the match and tells us that everyone will be in front of the ring and they have thirty seconds to get into the ring.
