High Evolutionary Imprisoned in Knowhere
In the deleted scene, it is revealed that the High Evolutionary has been imprisoned in Knowhere following his defeat at the hands of the Guardians.

Rocket, who had endured a tumultuous past and shared a period of confinement with Lylla (Linda Cardellini), Teefs (Asim Chaudhry), and Floor (Mikaela Hoover), finds solace in the knowledge that the High Evolutionary is imprisoned. Free from his own painful history, Rocket feels liberated and ready to embrace his future with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
