The show was intervened by 'The New Day' when Kofi Kingston and Big E came out and heated words were exchanged that led to a match between Miz and Kingston with Big E and Morrison on the commentary.

The Miz pinned Kofi Kingston with a Skull Crushing Finale (Miz's Finisher). Big E tried to get involved with Miz during which led to Morrison attacking Big E. This distracted Kofi Kingston that created a window for Miz to land the fatal blow (The Skull Crushing Finale).

Bray Wyatt was back with 'The Firefly Funhouse' segment where he said that Daniel Bryan has been naughty, and 'The Fiend' will keep an account of it and return the favour at the Royal Rumble. 

Bryan was interviewed after it, where he said that he would be hurt but not broken in the royal rumble. He recollected his days with the Wyatt family and the way it changed him. He said it only made him more dangerous. 

But the interview was cut short by the puppet of Rumblin' Rabbit who tried to reveal a way to defeat 'The Fiend'. But the Wyatt stopped the video and later on Bryan found the decapitated puppet head in his locker.

In the 'Walk With Elias' segment, Elias took a dig at both Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar on entering the Royal Rumble.
