We see Breezango in their office. They hug and say it’s been a fun journey. The Ascension walks in and admit that they are the ones behind everything. Breeze says that’s a let down, but Fandango says they weren’t even at the show last week. The Ascension get offended, but Breeze tells them to get out of the office.

The lights go out in the office and there is a scuffle. Fandango turns on a light and sees that Breeze has been knocked out. Fandango is hit from behind and knocked out as well. As the flashlight shines on Fandango, someone slowly drags him out of the frame and we see a “To Be Continued” message.

We take a look back to Smackdown on Tuesday where Mike Kanellis defeated Sami Zayn.
