Moment of Bliss, it’s two yellow chairs and a caged doll in the middle.

Bliss says she would ask herself, in Randy’s position, what she would have done to have caused Fiend to do that stuff--

Orton says Bray and Fiend wears his emotions all over himself- Orton keeps all that inside so he can blend in- they both hear voices, but the voices the fiend hear, they’re Randy’s.

Bliss says he didn’t tell you years ago that he had to make a choice- what Bray’s weakness was and he found it, and burned it to the ground. So now he needs to find the Fiend’s weakness, the Fiend’s vulnerability. He looks at Bliss and says, it looks like I have, don’t you think?

Bliss: Is that what the voices in your head are telling you, Randy? Or are they telling you lies? Who’s manipulating whom?

The lights start to go out.

Randy: See what I mean?

More lights go out.

Bliss; See what I mean?

Red lights/Fiend music, Randy is carrying Alexa, Fiend comes in, reaches for her, Randy hands her over and leaves. Randy goes up the ramp, screams WHO’S LAUGHING NOW?

Jeff Hardy vs Elias Symphony of Destruction Match

24/7 Scene comes running through as R-Truth was found inside the piano, Gulak and Dorado got hit with guitars

The match is hilariously dumb, including a bit where Elias gets electrocuted when Hardy evaded an attempt by Elias to stab him with a guitar part and hits an amp instead.

Good lord, the finish saw a swaonton bomb from the top turnbuckle through a table but the back of his head was killed on the steel stairs, he gets the pin and still has the wherewithal to use the tambourine on the way up the ramp
