In-Ring: Daniel Bryan, The Miz, King Corbin

Live in the arena, it’s Daniel Bryan’s music which hits as he comes out to a loud “Yes” chant from the crowd. Bryan gets in the ring as the crowd in Brooklyn chants “Daniel Bryan” and Bryan says it’s great to be back in Brooklyn. Bryan says the last couple of weeks, people asked him what happened to him. He says he doesn’t know but all he knows is that he felt The Fiend rip out his beard and hair. And when he woke up, he looked in the mirror and he didn’t notice the beard or hair missing. What he realized was missing was this Daniel Bryan brand.

Bryan says the brand was gone and he got home and saw his daughter. He says it’s the first time his daughter saw him without facial hair or hair and she cried. She was scared, she didn’t know who he was. All she knew was Daniel Bryan the brand. She didn’t recognize him but he recognized him. Because what he saw in that mirror was a man who had to fight for everything he was given. That’s the man he saw in the mirror. And that’s the man who went to TLC and beat up Bray Wyatt. Daniel says he will change Bray Wyatt like Wyatt changed him. Bryan mentions how Wyatt said he was trained not to feel pain and Bryan calls him out saying he will prove him wrong.

The Miz’s song hits and out he comes. The Miz says what happened to Bryan was awful but Wyatt attacked his family. Miz calls Wyatt a lunatic and at TLC, it wasn’t about winning or losing. It was about protecting what he cherished most in this world, family. Something Wyatt will never have and all Wyatt has is his title and he will take that Universal championship away from him.

Baron Corbin’s music hits with a microphone in hand. The King of the Ring laughs and jokes with The Miz asking him what’s wrong. Some new scary doll showed up at his home? But maybe if his daughter had more of his wife’s jeans, it wouldn’t have been so scary. Corbin says “boo hoo hoo” about Bryan. Little Birdie was scared because daddy came home looking like Baby Yoda. And now he’s out talking about his brand? His brand is failure. Corbin says he defeated Kurt Angle in his farewell match at WrestleMania. He won King of the Ring and he defeated Roman Reigns at TLC.

We see a clip of Baron Corbin’s hand being raised at TLC. Corbin says he doesn’t care what personal issues they have with The Fiend but Bray Wyatt has something he wants. And by virtue of his victory over Reigns at TLC, he is next in line, not them. Corbin says as a matter of fact, not only have they failed as WWE superstars, they have failed as fathers.

Bryan and The Miz look at each other and throw their microphones away. From behind comes Dolph Ziggler who attacks them. Corbin hits Daniel Bryan with the End of Days.
