Bryan says he could feel himself changing during his Survivor Series match, but it wasn’t The Fiend changing him, it was the fans. Bryan says that Wyatt challenged him to another Universal Title match, and to answer, he leads the fans in a big Yes chant. Wyatt suddenly appears on the big screen and says this new energy is so exciting, but, The Miz is right, and if Bryan goes through with this, he will change again. Wyatt says it’s only fair though since Bryan is one of the people who helped Wyatt change and build the Firefly Fun House. Wyatt asks if Bryan remembers how he helped change Wyatt, because The Fiend remembers. Wyatt says he almost forgot – he promised a “new face” tonight, and he’s a man of his word. The lights in the building turn red and The Fiend pops out from the ring and tries to pull Bryan down under the ring. Bryan fights back, but The Fiend is able to lock him in the mandible claw. The Fiend pulls Bryan down into the hole in the ring that he popped out of. The Fiend pulls his hands up and it looks like he has chunks of Bryan’s hair in his hands. The Fiend pulls up more hair from the hole in the ring and throws it on the canvas. We hear laughing over the arena speakers, and we cut to black.
