It's time for Firefly Fun House. Bray Wyatt is at the swamp, and says that the calmness is a camouflage of the danger that lies beneath. He says that Braun Strowman was a lost sheep looking for a home when he first met him, and he found it. He says that Strowman looked the devil in the eye, and he made him into a monster. All of a sudden, Strowman left, or so he thought, because the swamp is a place where darkness comes to life, and once you enter, you never truly leave. He says that a part of a person lives in the swamp forever, and that he knows that the monster he created in Strowman is scratching and waiting to come home, as it still lives within him.

He then tells Strowman to come home.
