Bray Wyatt makes his way to the ring.

Bray wants everyone to stand up for soon the slaves of the beast will be liberated.  Stand up and rejoice for your one true savior, Bray Wyatt.  The beast cometh and the beast is all around us.  He lives in each and every one of you.  He is the leech that society wraps around you.  He is the reason your children cannot sleep at night.  He is the voice that tells you not to fight but to run.

Bray says he is in control.  Soon he will open the chest of the beast and he will feast on his black heart.  The beast will die the most brilliant of deaths at the hands of your one true savior, Bray Wyatt.  At Extreme Rules, four men will suffer and he will begin his brilliant crusade to slay the beast.  Bray says that he alone can protect you.  You think Seth Rollins can protect you?  Bray says Seth's road ends because he sacrifices Seth Rollins.  Bray says he will sacrifice Samoa Joe too.  There are no friends in his world, there are only followers.  Just ask Finn Balor.

You can try to live vicariously through him, but even the demon himself will see the truth that only he can slay the beast.  Bray Wyatt is the only one who can slay the beast.  Bray says there is a fifth.  There is one who claims this is his yard.  That man is Roman Reigns.  Bray asks what does one silly yard mean to a man who owns the world.  Bray says this is his world . . .

Bray laughs and he tells Roman it is good to see him too.  Nothing has changed.  You let your temper get the best of you.  Bray says he is the truth and he is the only one who can beat Brock Lesnar.

Roman says he will beat four guys at Extreme Rules and that includes you.  Roman says he will move on and beat Brock Lesnar.  Roman says that is the truth.  Roman says he is not worried about Extreme Rules now.  He is only worried about getting Bray's ass out of his yard.

Kurt Angle's music plays and he makes his way to the stage.

Kurt says the Fatal Five Way might be the most important match of the New Era.  Kurt says he is looking at two of the favorites.  He wants to see who has momentum.  Kurt likes the idea of Roman Reigns versus Bray Wyatt right now.  Kurt wants a referee.
