Rey Mysterio shows up to start tonight's show. Rey talks about his match against Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Championship later tonight, then thanks his son Dominick - who is sitting in the front row - stating that he owes this moment to him and that he will take the Universal Championship home. Suddenly, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up. Lesnar takes the microphone and hands it to Heyman, but Rey takes it back before Heyman can say a word. Rey only says a few words before Lesnar hits Rey with an F5. Lesnar then picks Rey up and puts him in another F5, then stares down Dominick from a distance. He then leaves the ring and approaches Dominick, who sits down. This does not stop Lesnar from tossing Dominick over the guardrail and slamming him around at ringside. After sending Dominick into the ring post and slamming him on the floor, Lesnar gets Dominick in the ring and hits a German suplex as a referee shows up. Rey crawls to Dominick, but falls victim to a third F5. Lesnar then walks up the ramp, but stops less than halfway up it before getting back in the ring, suplexing Rey and then suplexing Dominick. At this point, Heyman begs Lesnar to stop as multiple referees and officials are at ringside. Officials check on Rey and Dominick as Heyman begs Lesnar off and referees direct Lesnar away from the ring. Lesnar enters the ring again, attacks the officials in the ring, then tosses Rey and Dominick to the side again. Lesnar then tears his shirt off and smiles before leaving the ring, and he and Heyman finally head to the back.
We see footage from during the break where Dominick is put on a stretcher.

Bray Wyatt says it is okay to be scared, as he is too, for there is nothing like Hell In A Cell, where one can enter but never truly leave without physical and emotional scars. He says that Rollins will be trapped in the Cell with The Fiend, who he is sure will always protect the Fun House and them, and says that Rollins will not be so fortunate due to The Fiend not wanting to wait to hurt him.
