-Vince comes out to the ring to make a major announcement, but is immediately ambushed on his way there by a mob of former XFL players, television crew, and office personnel. He is beaten bloody, stripped, and hung upside down from the Titantron. Not sure if this was a "worked shoot" to drum up interest for the XFL's return in 2021.

-As part of Vince's "more cinematic matches" initiative, a video was shown of Drake Maverick, clad in a Punch costume, being pinned in a match. Afterwards, he is taken backstage, stripped, has pagan designs painted on his body, and then clad in a white robe. He is then led out into the parking lot, where the camera zooms in to his face as he screams "Oh God! Oh Jesus Christ!" while Vince McMahon gestures towards a giant wicker man that has already been filled with several other released wrestlers. Maverick tells Vince that sacrificing him will not increase the WWE's stock value, and that if the stocks don't go up, next year he may be the one chosen to burn in the wicker man. Vince laughs, says "YOUUUUU'RRRRRE FIIIIIIRRRRRRED" and then leads the WWE cast and crew in song (a mashup version of "Summer Is Icumen In" and "No Chance in Hell") as the sun sets and the wicker man is engulfed in flames. Segment went on too long and the in-ring action (prior to the wrestlers being immolated in the wicker man) was so-so.

-HHH appreciation week continued. First up was a video featuring Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, as an on-screen graphic noted "Mr. Levesque is the son-in-law of Vincent McMahon." She then proceeded to compare the happiness of her wedding night to the happiness America felt when Saddam Hussein was dragged out of his spider hole and put on trial for doing 9/11, a moment in history that she reminded viewers was like the time when the feds investigated her father, Vincent McMahon (whom Mr. Levesque is the son-in-law of, as the graphic again helpfully reminded us). -Shane McMahon was up next. The video featured him staring into the camera worldlessly for a solid five minutes before cutting away to a graphic that reminded us "Mr. Levesque is the son-in-law of Vincent McMahon."
