After the match, the Firefly Funhouse song plays. All of Wyatt’s Fireflies are present. Wyatt welcomes everyone back to the Funhouse. The Rabbit says Knight seems cool, and they should invite him to join them. He doesn’t want Wyatt to fight Knight because he’s afraid of the dark. Wyatt drops to a knee and tells him he should be scared of the dark. Wyatt winks to the crowd as the screen cuts to an Uncle Howdy video. Howdy tells Wyatt that he just needed a little push. Wyatt tells Knight that he will have to contend with whatever walks through the door at the Royal Rumble.
