The WWE keeps getting bigger and stronger. It is bigger than it has ever been. The British people will be getting the WWE Network.

We are back and Bray Wyatt is in the ring with Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and his chair. Bray says that he has seen the ups and downs of your world. He has seen poverty. He has seen disease. Every time he closes his eyes, he can feel you. He can hear you calling out to him. Unfortunately, for most of us, we never have to see the horrible things that go on in the world.
Most only see it from the confines of our homes while eating a bowl of cereal and watching the news. Evil is a very real thing. We live inside this bubble nowadays. Inside this bubble we desire to feel safe and secure. Nothing can hurt us if we are inside this bubble. We have become prisoners of our society. That is what THEY want from us.
As soon as we raise an eyebrow, they send in someone like John Cena. They send him in to be our ray of hope to make us feel like everything is going to be alright. This isn’t a prison, this is our home.
Bray says that he feels that we have let this monster lie to our children long enough. That reason is exactly why he has been put here. He tells the children to gather around and take a look.
We see what happened at the end of Raw.
The CeNation has infected our world like a plague. It would take only one simple ten count to eradicate John Cena and everything he stands for. John is feeling the pressure. That is why he has recruited the Usos to be his new pawns. He did not tell them that he would throw them onto the front lines to fall while John watches from behind. He tells John not to let his crown get dirty.
Bray says that his brothers are going to show The Usos that the bond of cause cannot be broken. You cannot tame a beast that cannot fear. Tonight, they will learn the fact that there is something worse than dying.
When your cities burned, he was there. When the plague swept your street, he was there. When John Cena falls and the CeNation crumbles, he will be standing. He is forever. He will always be and he will always be. Bray starts to speak in tongues.
Bray starts to sing and the crowd follows along.
