Jimmy Hart is in the ring and he introduces Hulk Hogan, who makes his way to the ring.

Hogan wants to tell you something, brother. He says that it feels really awesome to be in London, just like the old days. You guys are on fire tonight. Speaking of the old days, Jimmy Hart has not been the same since he lived in the Legends House. It is WWE’s version of a reality show, exclusively on the WWE Network. It has Mean Gene Okerlund, Jim Duggan, and Roddy Piper.

Hogan says tonight is not about looking at the past, it is about looking forward to the future. The way things look now, it looks really bright for his British Hulkamaniacs. The WWE keeps getting bigger and stronger. It is bigger than it has ever been. The British people will be getting the WWE Network.

They got done making history with Wrestlemania in New Orleans and they are on the road to making history next year at Wrestlemania. Hogan wants to know ‘Whatcha Gonna Do’.

Every time he closes his eyes, he can feel you. He can hear you calling out to him. Unfortunately, for most of us, we never have to see the horrible things that go on in the world.

Most only see it from the confines of our homes while eating a bowl of cereal and watching the news. Evil is a very real thing. We live inside this bubble nowadays. Inside this bubble we desire to feel safe and secure. Nothing can hurt us if we are inside this bubble. We have become prisoners of our society. That is what THEY want from us.

As soon as we raise an eyebrow, they send in someone like John Cena. They send him in to be our ray of hope to make us feel like everything is going to be alright. This isn’t a prison, this is our home.

He tells John not to let his crown get dirty.

Bray says that his brothers are going to show The Usos that the bond of cause cannot be broken. You cannot tame a beast that cannot fear. Tonight, they will learn the fact that there is something worse than dying.

When your cities burned, he was there. When the plague swept your street, he was there. When John Cena falls and the CeNation crumbles, he will be standing. He is forever. He will always be and he will always be. Bray starts to speak in tongues.

Bray starts to sing and the crowd follows along.
