The arena went dark after the match and we saw starry lights around the arena. As the lights flashed on and off, we saw what looked like Wyatt Family members and there was some sort of head on the announcers' desk.
We saw a glimpse of the Fiend's mask and a glitched version of the Firefly Funhouse theme played before we saw a very strange video clip. A man with a lantern showed up in the darkness before we saw a strange symbol onscreen for a second as the show went off the air.
Show Grade: A
We got one of the best shows of this year with Extreme Rules. Edge and Balor had one of the toughest matches of their career while the Fight Pit did not disappoint either.
