Oliver gets no introduction. Bray Wyatt comes out next. Love makes him immortal and powerful. He introduces “his son”. He comes out with a rocking chair for Bray. The son is a huge massive man with a ginger beard, but a bald skull. He’s wearing a green jump suit like from a prison. He goes to work to destroy Oliver right way. Bray rocks in his chair through the entire match.

We get split screen of Jinder Mahal and Seth Rollins preparing. Dusty Rhodes then comes out to the arena. He wants to address the state of NXT and puts over the main event. He wants to address Vickie. She’s welcome, but she cannot put a bounty on anyone… unless you run it by him. Camacho comes out and tells Rhodes there’s still a bounty. He tells Rhodes he needs the money, as Hunico is stuck in Mexico. He says if Rhodes doesn’t re-open it, it will come from Rhodes. Big E comes out, and Rhodes sets up a match for next week. Big E vs. Camacho and a partner in a Handicap match.
We cut to the Smackdown backstage area as The Big Show has a message for NXT. He’s coming to take on Bo Dallas’s open challenge. He intends to knock him out and end his career for his own sake. We see Mahal and Rollins once again.
