The Miz then gives "a Dirt Sheet welcome" to "the real victim" in the situation: Sonya Deville. Sonya says she can get behind Mandy's hair more than Mandy herself, and says she told Mandy she would make her as ugly on the outside as much as she is on the inside, and she did it. She also says that she enjoyed it, as image is all Mandy has. Sonya says she does not feel bad for Mandy because she has no respect for her. She also says that Mandy Rose isn't coming out for revenge because she destroyed her, and Miz and Morrison says nobody has heard from Mandy since last week.

He says that after tonight, nobody will be laughing.

Suddenly, Braun Strowman's voice is heard. Strowman then appears on the TitanTron, saying he does not give a damn about Alexa and that all he cares about is destroying The Fiend. He said he would either come out of the swamp "the most evil son-of-a-bitch" or someone with the satisfaction of destroying The Fiend. He says he "the most evil son-of-a-bitch" the world has ever laid eyes on, and while he tried to resist it, he has let it out and he is living out his destiny.
