– We go back to the ring and the fireflies light the night as Bray Wyatt’s music starts up. The door kicks open and out comes Bray Wyatt with his lantern. Fans pop as Wyatt enters the ring and the music stops. Fans chant “welcome back!” to Wyatt. Wyatt paces and introduces himself. Fans chant his name now. Wyatt says there was a time he’d make sure when fans left the building tonight, they’d know exactly who he was.
Bray Wyatt says something a lot of you probably don’t know about him is that he comes from a very prestigious family, a wrestling family, and some might say they’re even larger than life, and so from the time he was a little child, all he ever wanted to be was great. But great wasn’t good enough, he had to be greater than the rest of them, the greatest of all of them. Fans pop and chant “yes you are!” now. Wyatt did what he thought he needed to do – he gave in, he gave in so much that he made a monster of himself, and he wore that mask with pride, and it didn’t take him long to understand while he was wearing the mask, he no longer felt pain, he no longer could be afraid. Wyatt laughs.
He further says in the mask he was completely untouchable and that type of thing feels good, some might say sensations like that are just about impossible to quit, and that’s how he felt, he found himself in a kingdom of nothingness, sitting on an island by himself, in this monster he had made himself into, he destroyed Wyatt, and he ran off everyone he’d ever loved, so there he sat, alone, no one to love him, nowhere to run, alone.
A “we love you!” chant starts up. That’s the thing, no one loves him, he says… people love the idea of him, the things he’s capable of… Wyatt doesn’t even love himself but this doesn’t have to be the ending of his story, that is not the man that he wants to be remembered as. His name is Bray Wyatt, his name is Bray Wyatt! Fans pop again. His name is Bray Wyatt! To rewrite the ending to his story… the screen flashes and Uncle Howdy is here.
Howdy asks why wear a mask? Howdy says it must hurt forcing yourself to be someone you’re not. He says Wyatt fooled them but he can’t fool Howdy. Does it hurt? Who knows you better than I do? You think they will still love you if they knew the truth? They don’t deserve you, Howdy says. The truth is you’re gonna go too far, and you’re gonna give in… so why wait? And when you do, remember how good it feels and it’s gonna feel so good, so good. Do it, and if you’re worried about the aftermath, hurt them. Just don’t take the mask off. Tell me I’m wrong, Howdy says as we get a closer look at his face with the tear down his cheek. The Wyatt logo appears as Howdy disappears and Wyatt looks on from the ring. Fans chant “Uncle Howdy!”.
– Roman Reigns defeated Logan Paul via pinfall and successfully retained his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
