The ring is surrounded by a steel cage. John Cena comes out to start the show, and gets in the cage with the mic. Cena wants to know why he was in a 3-on-1 handicap match with The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Luke Harper) last week, but ultimately acknowledges the WWE Universe has changed, even though he has never abandoned them. He feels the future of WWE is in good hands with the current champions of the main roster and the future stars coming out of NXT, but says Bray Wyatt is not like the rosy vision he sees. If Wyatt wins, so will his message. Suddenly, he hears a young girl sing "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands," which is soon joined by other similar voices. We see a children's choir all dressed in black. Bray Wyatt and his Wyatt Family show up. He sings, then gets the choir to join him. They go down the ramp and surround the cage, continuously singing. The arena goes dark, then lights up, and the entire choir of children all wear masks. A girl sits on Wyatt's lap as Bray Wyatt laughs, and we see this image until the show fades to black.

Stephanie McMahon shows up and asks Daniel ryan to come to the ring. Daniel shows up with Brie Bella. Daniel feels Stephanie was less than truthful about trying to stop Kane. Stephanie apologizes to Brie Bella for all she put her through, as she can relate with Triple H being put on stretchers and in ambulances. Daniel, however, is indifferent. When Stephanie asks him to come to the ring and look in her eyes, Daniel says he'll still see a liar. He is, however, clear for this Sunday night, and if he loses, he's taking Kane down with him. Stephanie tries to make it up to him by giving Brie Bella a match tonight against Paige for the WWE Divas Championship. Daniel Bryan doesn't want Brie Bella to be in the ring without him, and Stephanie allows for him to be with Brie during her match. Before the break, however, we find out Kane's mask, which has been displayed under glass twice tonight, is now nowhere to be seen.
As Brie Bella takes on Paige, Kane makes his appearance known. He tries to drag Brie Bella to Hell. Daniel Bryan tries to stop him by striking him with a wrench, but gets choke slammed. Brie manages to escape Kane's grasp as referees and medical staff check on Daniel Bryan as they assist him to the back.
Stephanie McMahon walks in on Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella as a trainer takes a look at the former, profusely apologizing. Daniel gets angry, saying he'll be at
