AJ Styles, Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers In-Ring Segment: 

Welcome to SmackDown Live, the house that, AJ Styles built. Usually, Styles is cool, calm, and collected. Unfortunately he cannot eat or sleep. All he can do is think about defending his title at Clash of Champions. Styles has his concerns about losing the title he just got back a month ago. What good is it to be champion if you are not willing to fight. Jinder would do anything to retain his title. He brought in Great Khali to help him in the Punjabi Prison Match.

The Kevin and Sami Show Occupy’s SmackDown Live: 

The Yep Movement has arrived. This surreal can you feel the energy? It’s like the entire WWE Universe decided to stand by with them against WWE Management. They stand united for change. Management took things one step too far last week. You think Stephanie McMahon is ruthless and Mr. McMahon is the most brutal promoter, but after nine months, Shane is the worst McMahon. Shane locked him to the ropes and made himself the guest referee for their match at Clash of Champions. If they lose on Sunday, they will be fired by the WWE. Shane is nothing but a mad man on a rage bender. Shane is trying to humiliate them because he can’t defend his family.

Nobody from the crowd joins the Occupy SmackDown Live Movement. Daniel Bryan joins the conversation.  Owens says that Bryan is the inspiration for the Yep Movement.  Zayn thought that a thousand members of the WWE Universe would come to the ring, but they have the one man who occupies Smackdown, Daniel Bryan. What are they doing? Zayn says that they’re showing respect to the Yes Movement with the Yep Movement. They have been disgraced and treated unfairly just like Bryan.

Bryan says that Owens and Zayn are nothing like him. The Yes Movement was not about him, it was about the people. It was about what the WWE Universe wanted and deserved. Is Daniel Bryan drinking Shane’s Kool-Aid? Everyone knows why Shane made himself the referee. It’s to screw them. They fought on the independent scene to get to this point. Bryan states he and Shane has each other’s backs. Bryan will make sure the match on Sunday is fair. If Owens and Zayn lose, there will be no excuses. Hopefully Shane will not have a problem with this announcement. At Clash of Champions, Daniel Bryan will be the second special guest referee.
