Bray Wyatt makes his way to the ring with Erick Rowan.
We see what happened last week when Bray Wyatt had a chance to get into the WWE title match at SummerSlam.
Bray says he would like to make something very clear. Last week, he did not fall to Dolph Ziggler. He was a victim. Dolph Ziggler was desperate and in his desperation came deception. Dolph ran his face into the steel because he knew it was the only way. Then things went black for him. Bray says everything was taken from him again. Dolph, what you don't understand is that he is a god. No matter how hard you try or what you do, you can never kill a god. If you don't believe him, you can ask your friend Dean Ambrose. He knows Bray well. Bray says Dean would tell you his teeth are very sharp and they will cut through you like knifes.
What you fail to realize is that this is his show now. They are not puppets in a corporate war. This is Bray Wyatt against the whole damn world.
Dean Ambrose's music plays and he comes to the ring.
Dean says this is a new era. Bray Wyatt is a victim. Bray is spouting off some bibilcal mumbo jumbo and Bray is not the Eater of Worlds, he is a big baby. He tells Bray to get off the podium because Smackdown does not belong to you, it belongs to the people. It also belongs to the WWE Champion.
Bray tells Dean to come into the ring and whisper into his ear if he wants him off his podium.
Dean says Bray likes nothing more than to run into the ring and go into a two on one beat down. Dean says he is smart enough to know a bad deal. The more you stand out here and run your mouth and get under his skin, it makes him want to come to the ring and shove those fancy words down your throat.
Dolph Ziggler makes his way to the ring and he stands next to Dean and then he goes after Rowan but Wyatt hits Dolph from behind and they work over Dolph. Dean joins in the situation and Rowan and Wyatt work over Dean. Dean sends Rowan over the top rope and Wyatt sets for Sister Abigail but he takes too long.
