He has the urn in the middle of the ring and asks if it can bring back the dead. He opens it and stares into it, but then laughs because the urn is empty.

A spotlight shines in the ring, and the urn is gone, replaced with Bray's rocking chair. A message appears on the TitanTron with the WrestleMania 31 logo that says "The Man Comes Around." A recording of Undertaker's voice says "You will rest in peace." Lightning strikes the chair and it catches fire. Bray laughs maniacally in the corner. The match is on at WrestleMania 31.

He says he hasn't let go of what happened and says he'd never rejoin The Authority after what Rollins did to him months ago.
