-What’s left of the Authority (Rollins, Kane, Big Show and security) come out to the ring.

-Dean Ambrose cuts a promo on destroying Bray Wyatt’s rocking chair on Raw. He talks about his TLC match with Wyatt, and claims to “put him down”. Out comes Lana and Rusev, who say they won’t be competing tonight because of the bullying and intimidation of America. Ambrose chases after Rusev but is caught by Bray Wyatt. Wyatt attacks him in the throat with a steel chair and leaves him laying. Medics take him out in a brace.
