The May 5, 2014 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw emanates live from the Times Union Center in Albany and begins with the 20-man over the top rope battle royal for the United States Championship. Sheamus wins the title when he Brogue Kicks Dean Ambrose and tosses him out of the ring.

Daniel Bryan is backstage with Brie Bella and Stephanie McMahon walks in to congratulate the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Bray Wyatt comes out to the ring with The Wyatt Family and says Abigail always told him he was born to lead and that he would change the world. He believed her, but the world has wicked ways and they would always look down on him. He says those people made this day sweeter for him because last night, he became somebody. John Cena's fear was personified by a singing child. They show a clip of the end of the steel cage match finish from Extreme Rules.
Bray says the children are the foundation of tomorrow and they see right through Cena. Bray says he is a monster and Cena would have everyone believe his message is nothing but a lie, but all he wants is to watch the world burn so that it can be reborn in his image. Bray says he does not do this just for himself, but he does it for the children, the poor, the outcasts and everyone else. He says Cena stands alone now and forever, but Bray is with the people, who will remember him not as a monster but as a god. He drops to his knees and sings "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands."

Bryan faces Alberto Del Rio and gets him to tap out to the Yes Lock. He and Brie lead a Yes Chant in the ring when Kane's music hits.
