Welcome everyone to tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw. We begin tonight’s show with The Wyatt Family in the ring.

He says that in dreams, we are superheroes, and we get our payback. He says then we wake up, and that’s when reality sets in. We aren’t superheroes, and we go on living our lives like nothing is wrong, but everything is wrong. Bray says that he used to have a teacher that used to look down on him, and told him he wouldn’t amount to anything in life. Bray says he went up to her and asked her “what is it about you that makes you so much better than me?” She told Bray that he is rotten, and that he stands for nothing. His teacher told him that she looked in his eyes, and told him that he was evil. He says he is happy that that teacher is rotting in some retirement home. Bray says that he has the whole damn world in his hands. The crowd starts singing the song really loudly. Bray says that’s his payback. He says that the teacher was right about one thing, he is evil. He says he has to be to balance everything out. He says his tongue is the scorpion’s tail, and he uses it to make people listen. He says that John Cena plays the hero, but everything crumbles around him. He says at Payback, this fairytale will end, and he will be the last man standing. Bray says that tonight, Bray will put Cena down. He is cut off by the music of John Cena.

Cena gets in the ring from behind, and hits Bray with an AA. Cena bails out of the ring to get away from Harper and Rowan. Cena makes his way to the back as Bray looks on.
