Back from commercial, Bray Wyatt comes out with his family for our next match, but is sporting a white mask.

Chris Jericho shook me a little bit and he got me thinking to myself that I need to go back to my roots. So people, witness the new face of fear. This is not the face of a human being, this is the face of a MONSTER!! This is the face of the eater of worlds. Everytime from now on that you gaze into my face, I don’t care who you are, how BAD you think you are, you can never hurt me because I am already dead.

Back from commercial, we go backstage where Tony Dawson is with Corey Graves. Graves says that he has had some ups & downs on NXT, but he has had ups & downs his entire life. His father once told him that if you wanna succeed at something, you have to fail first and you have to fail over and over again. If you’re lucky, you get to break-through and if you break-through, you never have to look back. Graves says he has entered himself in the NXT Battle Royal in 2 weeks and at the end, he will stand tall and everyone else…….
All of a sudden, Graves is interrupted by Bray Wyatt. Wyatt says this whole thing is quite baffling. I can’t understand why you possibly want to play “cool guy” when this war is going on right outside your doorstep. If you don’t understand what I’m saying, you can ask Kassius Ohno, ’cause he knows. Just like Ohno, your time will come because whether you like to realize it or not, NXT belongs to the eater of worlds and the Wyatt Family.
Wyatt laughs maniacally as Graves says that Wyatt and his family creep him out. Graves says he doesn’t have a family, but he believes if Wyatt & the swamp people you walk around with keep messing with me, you’re all gonna stay down. Wyatt laughs at this and says that I guess we shall see before leaving.
Its time for our main event.
