We get a strange figure on the titantron sending a cryptic message to Bray Wyatt. The show then suddenly cuts to black and ends.

Bray Wyatt says he met a lot of people over the last year who told him that his story had connected with them when they were going through tough times. Wyatt says that the fans were there for him when he was weak and vulnerable and thanks everyone for saving his life. He says when he lost hope, the fans found him.

Bray takes the mic and says he's incredibly grateful and nervous. He says that this is a version of him that the fans have never seen before, him being him. He says that he lost a lot of things in the last year and is clearly emotional. He says he lost his career, lost his self confidence as well as two people who were very close to him. Bray says he lost his way and thought everything he had done in the ring was meaningless.
