Segment: Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt

WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring to a nice reception. Rollins says Knoxville is loud. Rollins had a good night at the end last night, but earlier he and Braun Strowman lost the RAW Tag Team Titles. They both lost the titles. Rollins said they couldn’t sulk because they had to face each other for the Universal Title. Strowman is very large and strong. Strowman gave him the fight of his life. Rollins gives him “mad props.” When push came to shove, he put Strowman down with three Stomps, a Pedigree, and a fourth Stomp. Rollins says he is happy that the rematch isn’t happening anytime soon. When he pulled himself up the ramp, he didn’t have any time to celebrate before being cloaked in darkness and taken down by something he can only describe as yowie wowie. A “Yowie Wowie” chant picks up. Rollins said he saw the face of The Fiend Bray Wyatt before losing consciousness. When he came to, Wyatt was nowhere to be found. The good news is in less than three weeks he’ll go one-on-one with him inside Hell in a Cell!

Rollins is cut off by the Firefly Funhouse theme song. Bray Wyatt happily waves before going stone faced. Wyatt then smiles and says it is his future best friend Seth Rollins. Wyatt is glad he’s here and is super glad he’s ok. Rollins says Wyatt is a sick dude. The Ramblin’ Rabbit tells Rollins to run. Wyatt pounds the table and shouts, “No!” Wyatt says there is no need for name calling. It’s poppycock, but it’s fine. It’s ok to make mistakes. Rollins has made a lot of mistakes, but people forgave him. Friends forgive… but he never forgets. Maybe that’s why he said hello at Clash of Champions. Who knows… he might even have more to say to you tonight. Wyatt coldly looks into the camera, and The Fiend’s face flashes on the screen. Wyatt stares at the screen before bursting into laughter and saying, “See you in hell!”

Rollins looks around waiting for Wyatt to attack while the Firefly Funhouse music plays.
