The rock version of Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner blares throughout the sound system of the arena, and fans knew instinctively what to say. With their arms stretched up in the air with fingers pointed to the sky, the crowd chants YES! YES! YES!
Daniel Bryan now made his way to the ring, rallying up the members of the WWE Universe in attendance with a rally towel in hand, shouting YES! with them. He goes up the top turnbuckle and continues his well-known battle cry as his theme music fades.
Just then, a screech is heard as a split-second of eerie images invade the Titantron, ending with Erick Rowan donning a sheep mask staring blankly. The whole arena goes pitch black, as we now see Bray Wyatt, flanked by his family members, holding a lantern.
"We're here." He whispers, and blows his lantern.
As the lights go back on, Erick Rowan is already in the ring, with Bray Wyatt outside the ring sitting in his rocking chair, with Luke Harper by his side. Bray looks at Bryan with a sinister grin on his face, muttering words Bryan couldn't hear.
The bell rings as the referee now motions for the match to get underway. Bryan decides to circle Rowan, yet Rowan stands still at the corner with his sheep mask still on. Bryan cautiously approaches Rowan, and without hesitation, kicks him in the leg repeatedly, the crowd chanting YES! with each kick. Rowan grunts with every kick Bryan deals to him, and he grabs Bryan by the head and pushes him to the mat. But just like that, Bryan was back up and kicking at Rowan again, now this time with both lefts and rights. The chants of YES! now start to go raucous, but Rowan doesn't seem to execute any offense… or want to execute any offense.
The referee is puzzled by this and asks Bryan to step out of the way for a moment. He looks at Rowan and waves at him. "Rowan? Rowan?" Then he makes the grave mistake of trying to remove Rowan's sheep mask.
And with that, it seemed that a switch inside of Rowan was flicked. He grabs the referee by his shirt collar and threw him into the corner. Rowan began to pummel the referee with stomps, and Bryan steps in kicking Rowan in the shins again. The referee is startled and calls for the bell as the crowd boos. Bryan grabs Rowan's arms and tries to ground him for a Yes Lock, but Luke Harper steps in and ambushes Bryan from behind, and the two now barrage Bryan with vicious kicks and punches.
Bray is amused with what he's seeing as he slowly rises out of his rocking chair and tosses his hat aside. The assault continues on, and now Bray has entered the ring.
"Your sins will find you out, Daniel Bryan! Your sins! Your—"
FZZT, FZZT.
The crowd goes into frenzy as wild static screeches itself all over the arena, as the intro to Cult of Personality by Living Colour is played. CM Punk comes marching down to the ring, and once he gets there, he wastes no time in aiding his friend, delivering a stiff kick to the back of Rowan's head, knocking him out instantly. He dodges Harper's clothesline, and when Wyatt's black bearded lackey turns around, he eats a kick from Punk as well.
Punk was now a few feet away from Bray and ready to tussle when the Eater of Worlds slowly waves his finger while cackling to himself.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're too much in a hurry, Punk."
And with that Bray slowly exits the ring and picks up Rowan and Harper, who are knocked out on the cold concrete floor outside the ring.
"Come on out here and fight like a man!" Punk shouts repeatedly at them.
"Not tonight, boys… not tonight." Bray whispers to his family members.
He then stares at Punk and screams in his loudest possible voice.
"FOLLOW THE BUZZARDS!"
