He tears America down too, insinuating they aren’t big enough to join The League. The lights go out and The Wyatt Family suddenly appear in the ring.

Bray Wyatt tell Sheamus and Company who they are, but that The Family are the ones who command WWE.

The Dudley Boyz and Tommy Dreamer walk out on stage, and while Bray thinks they are in danger and out-manned, Bubba Ray declares that is not true. D-Von tells The Wyatts and The League they have upped the anti, bringing out their former rival and friend from ECW, (and NXT star for a while) Rhyno!

Roman Reigns’ music plays, and he, Dean Ambrose, and The Usos walks through the fans!
