Bray Wyatt is in his old Florida man garb and sitting in his rocking chair. Strowman drives up and says he’s home. Wyatt disappears, so Strowman destroys his rocking chair. A sign says, “Abandon hope all ye who enter here.” Strowman is attacked by some masked Wyatt disciples before coming face-to-face with himself in the Black Sheep mask.

Wyatt asks who will have Strowman’s back. Wyatt says Strowman is like him. He’s special and doesn’t understand. That’s why Strowman needs him. They can be like gods. They can rule this place and they will bow to them all. As societies crumble, there they will be ruling like they knew they would. Strowman says he’ll send Wyatt back to hell. A woman holding a boa constrictor comes up and the snake bites Strowman.
We cut to a scene where Strowman fights off a bunch of people and lights one of them on fire. A woman’s voice tells Strowman to come home and not run. It’s Alexa Bliss and flashes are shown of the Mixed Match Challenge. Bliss knows Strowman always wanted to be with her. Strowman looks intrigued as she backs into the shadows.
