After the Elimination Round verdict was announced, KingOrangeTyger, the Judges, and the remaining contestants wished Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!%h well, the Host offering the former FAN Idol winner lodging at the FAN compound in order for him to get his bearings.
KingOrangeTyger: Rather shocking development, I'm afraid. While one can never predict the twists and turns in any given Season of FAN Idol, the Judges and I didn't anticipate your early exit...
Z-A: You mean You didn't. King, I know how judging works. You haven't talked to them in, oh, I'd say three weeks.
KingOrangeTyger: Now, Mr. Sandbaggin', you know that isn't true. Why, just the other day, Brainbustaaah! and I had the most stimulating conversation on literary references to be found in British punk music vs. literary references to be found in American punk music and I was startled by-
Z-A: No you weren't. He's a guy in a mask to you. You probably don't even own a single punk record. Why-
Z-A continued to sandbag his exit, doing his best to get under his Host's skin. There was talk of FAN Idol trophies and recommended categories and the Host could do little but say "Yes sir. Indeed!" to each and everyone of Z-A's rather ingenious suggestions. However, time is precious and KingOrangeTyger left the former winner to his next project, a New Age album celebrating the shifting sands of Cairo, and addressed the 9 remaining Would be FAN Contestants:
KingOrangeTyger: Please pack your bags for the next leg of your musical journey, my friends, for we are headed to.... MONDAY NIGHT RAW!!!!
Gathering their possessions, bringing their ring gear just in case, the contestants boarded the FS Madison Carter II and set a course for Hartford, Connecticut and Raw is Idol! The judges wore "I'm a KingOrangeTyger Guy!" (and one "I'm a KingOrangeTyger Gal!") t-shirts and helped the Contestants board the airship. Within half an hour, due to it's uncanny ability to warp space and time, the FS Madison Carter II dropped the Host, Contestants, and Judges backstage:
Foxtrot! Alpha! November! FAN. The Shield greeted the would-be contestants as they arrived backstage in their own inimitable fashion:
Ambrose
Reigns
Rollins....
They took turns saying their names, attired in their riot gear inspired clothes, serious and sombre until...
Dean Ambrose: Now I think it's about time you contestants played a little Tom Waits. It would be an injustice for Tom Waits not to be represented this Season.
Roman Reigns: Injustice.
Seth Rollins: You see, I know you nine are all a bunch of outsiders like me, like the Shield. I know that you strive towards justice and would not a just musical competition use the Cure?
Roman Reigns: The Cure. We know what the Cure is.
Dean Ambrose: We are the Cure! We are the Blind Faith needed to bring this Season of FAN Idol back to what made it great! Believe in the Shield.
Seth Rollins: Punk Music. Glitter and Goth, we have a Message. Scream, oh we will Scream like the Hounds of Justice.
Roman Reigns: Funk. Hip-Hop. Represent and believe.
Dean Ambrose: You see, I'm a real crazy guy. I love to drive really fast, really late at night, in my big bad mustang while Heavy Metal blares and...
KingOrangeTyger: Sigh, Mr. Ambrose, we already had a Heavy Metal Round. It was excellent. Ghost was selected and Metallica won. Please, I'm sure you'll disrupt the Competition later but we don't have the time to discuss whatever musically inspired propaganda you memorized before tonight's show.
Moving on, the contestants saw Brodus Clay dance with the Funkadactyls backstage, resulting in the Host scolding Mr. Cageking for his attempts to dance with the thunderous dinosaur man. Anonymous GM did a double take after seeing the diminutive Hornswoggle, stalking him much like a cat does a mouse, uttering a vague something about "I'm the true Anonymous GM, not that little Lucky Charm!" She even had a green bag to capture the magical dwarf.
Walking backstage, the FAN contestants saw a furious Ryback go up to the Host, screaming at the top of his lungs:
PLAY. MORE. SOUL. Pumping his arms, getting the contestants and Judges into it (who appeared to have rather sinister notions about what they wanted Ryback to do to their estimated Host), the table destroying monster kept chanting PLAY MORE SOUL. PLAY MORE SOUL. PLAY MORE SOUL...
leading this man to come out...
And before Slick, the Doctor of Style began to speak, the Host cut him off by saying...
KingOrangeTyger: Yes, yes, yes, more Soul. More Funk, I get it, I get it! Jeez!
This continued for some point, until at Gorilla, the Contestants presented these songs to the Judges. And also, Koko showed up.
KingORangeTyger: What did I get myself into....
