Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Daniel Bryan In-Ring Segment: 

Bryan says that it’s great to be home. It’s only a two hour show, so the Seattle crowd is not allowed to hijack the show. Bryan announces that we’ll have a 6-Woman Tag Team Match. We’ll also see Dolph Ziggler vs. Bobby Roode in a Hell in a Cell Rematch. Speaking of Hell in a Cell, he has someone to address. This person’s actions disappointed him. Bryan is talking about Sami Zayn. Zayn comes out interrupt Bryan.  Is this the Sami Zayn that he’s known for thirteen years? What’s the big difference? Zayn says that he’s still a great guy. Nothing has changed. All he did was take ownership of his career. Does that make him a bad guy? Zayn would hope Bryan would understand where he’s coming from. Bryan says that he gets the frustration and he’s been Zayn’s shoes. 

Management never believed in either of them. The difference is that Bryan had the WWE Universe. They started the Yes Movement. They put Bryan in the main event of WrestleMania 30. When it came to Zayn, they didn’t hold up their end of the bargain.  He would do everything that was right, but that got him nothing. Zayn doesn’t care about the WWE Universe anymore. Bryan needs to get rid of the martyr complex. If Bryan was smarter instead of working harder, he wouldn’t have had to retire in this building.

It broke Zayn’s heart more than anyone in the crowd. He was a once in a generation performer. Bryan was Zayn’s role model for success in this business. Now, he’s the last person Zayn wants to be like. A man who gave his body and broke his body for the glory and adulation just to end up a housewife. Kevin Owens joins the conversation. Owens is happy Zayn finally saw the light. Zayn calls Bryan a pathetic martyr housewife. Might as well call him Mr. Bella. Bryan became what he fought against for so long.

Bryan is a hypocrite. Bryan says that Owens only cares about himself, so he’s not fooling anyone. Bryan cares about what’s best for the fans. Owens says that Bryan cares about doing what’s best for business. Daniel Bryan is now the Authority. There’s only one word for that, sell out. Zayn thanks Owens for saving him. Zayn and Owens are hugging it out in the center of the ring. Owens says that  walking out of arenas is what Bryan does best these days. Bryan tells Zayn and Owens that he’s going to find a couple of dudes to punch them in the face.
