Balor tells Omaha that this is Balor Club. Finn says the NXT Championship used to look real good around his waist. The Universal Title used to look real good around that waist. The Intercontinental Title would have looked good around this waist if it weren’t for Bray Wyatt. When Bray appeared in the battle royal, it cost him the opportunity to challenge the Miz. While he may have been victorious at SummerSlam, you don’t truly beat someone like Bray Wyatt. They appear when you least expect him. The next time you appear, he will be ready.

 

Balor says he has chosen his fate and he is not afraid. Finn says he does not run from his demons because sometimes, he becomes one. If you want to continue to play games week after week, let’s play.

 

The lights go out and Bray appears on the TitanTron. Bray says he remembers going fishing when he was young. Bray says after a while, he got bored and it just became too easy. Bray says he decided he wanted to shake things up and he put his weapon down and he started to use his hands, just his hands. His hands became judge, jury, and executioner. Bray says he showed no mercy. When he had the chance to end that pathetic existence, he made the choice and that choice defined him. Bray says he knew what his purpose was. You were victorious at SummerSlam. The Demon won. That is your bow and arrow. Bray wants Finn to face him man to man and show him no mercy. Bray tells Finn to define your legacy. Bray tells Finn to make a choice.

 

Finn says he has made his choice and he is Finn Balor.

 

Bray says there he is, the confident hero they all dream of becoming. The question remains, can a mere mortal topple a god or will you just be like the others, running around like a scared rabbit. He tells Finn to run. We go to commercial.

We are back and Bray Wyatt makes his way to the ring.

 

Bray says there is no escape, not for your, not for your children, and certainly not for Finn Balor. The truth is that no mortal man can escape the darkness. Look at you, you are all held down by humanity’s shackles. You deal with the pain. Look at you, you are pitiful. You try to hide behind your sins and be something you are not. You cannot hide from him because he sees you. He is Bray Wyatt and he is everywhere. Bray says he is there when the honest man justifies stealing. He is in the shadows when you stand to claim that you are part of the Balor Club. You think you can vicariously live through Finn Balor. You are infected with the sickness of hope and the belief that your life can be special. This ordinary man, Finn Balor, who you see do extraordinary things. You foolishly rejoice when he rises through the ashes. Bray says he sees Finn for who he is. A putrid shell of a man who never was. Finn Balor exists on borrowed time of tomorrow’s dreams and yesterday’s promises. You speak with this voiceless arrogance. If he is knocked down, he gets back up. Bray starts to laugh. How did it feel when he twisted your hero’s body into a mangled heap? Did it hurt? When life knocks you down, you ain’t getting up. There is no return and there is no escape.

 

Wyatt goes on and drops the mic before posing. Balor’s entrance starts up as fans cheer. The lights come on and Balor is in the ring, with his arms out and his back turned to Wyatt.
