* They air a clip of Daniel Bryan’s retirement and the RAW contract signing as tables are brought out and put around the ring.

* The Dudley Boyz come out in street clothes and Bubba Ray Dudley is looking more like Bully Ray than before. They cut promos with tables surrounding the ring and we see a replay of them turning on The Usos at RAW. Bubba cuts a big heel promo and rips Daniel Bryan for retiring, leading to a huge “yes!” chant. “Save the tables” comes back as Bubba says they are doing away with tables, no more tables for the fans.

* Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family came to the ring for a promo. Wyatt talked about how they were here to take out the “titans” of WWE. He rolled his eyes in the back of his head like The Undertaker would do. Real creepy promo, not as bad as the typical Wyatt ramblings.
