Daniel Bryan, Erick Rowan and Kevin Owens In-Ring Segment:

Bryan sat in the ring last week silent while all of you gushed about Kofi Kingston. He remained silent when Vince McMahon removed Kofi from the WWE Championship Match at FastLane. Now it’s his time to speak and for you to remain silent. Open your ears because Bryan is going to enlighten you. He’s not out here to talk about Kofi Kingston. Kofi is not a leader. He is a supporting player. That’s why Kofi is exactly where he should be, with his buddies The New Day on a promotional tour of India.  Unfortunately Mr. McMahon replaced a man who dishes out copious amounts of pancakes with someone who eats copious amounts of pancakes.

Kevin Owens resembles the entire WWE Universe. He thinks like you, without an original thought in his head. Owens deserve a shot at the WWE Championship because he’s a nobody. That’s what makes him so dangerous. A nobody is somebody with nothing to lose. What you don’t understand is that Bryan has everything to lose because he’s the planet’s champion. He has the pressure of knowing that if he loses, the entire planet loses. Bryant doesn’t want to be called a martyr. Kevin Owens puts an end to Bryan’s soliloquy. Since Owens got injured five months ago, he stepped away from being a WWE Superstar and he was a member of the WWE Universe. He sat back at home with his family and they watched every Raw and Smackdown from his couch. By the way, that’s where Owens belong according to Bryan.

As great as that time off was, it was hard to sit back and watch people do what he does, except Daniel Bryan. When Bryan was out here, it was not hard, it was awful to watch him walking around like a maniac and talk down to everybody. Owens is sick of people who think they are better than everybody else. Bryan said that the original WWE Title belonged in the garbage. That was the last straw for Owens. He knew where he wanted to come back. Bryan deserves to get his stupid condescending mouth shut and Owens is the one to do it. It’s not Bryan’s mouth Owens should be worried about, he is out here to provide wisdom and not empty calories. Wow the wise Daniel Bryan is resorting to fat jokes?

Does Bryan only consume organic carrots? Owens says that Bryan can shove those carrot sticks up his ass. Now Owens is reverting to low brow humor. Owens thinks that Bryan is pretentious jackass. It’s not just that. Like these people, he doesn’t have a reality show and a seven foot tall backup dancer. The only reason Owens doesn’t have a seven footer next to him it’s because he don’t have any friends left. That’s pretty clever, but it is true. He didn’t need any help to beat Bryan last week. The bottom line is that Owens didn’t intend to take Kofi’s opportunity, but it’s his intention to beat Bryan on Sunday and become the brand new WWE Champion. Does Rowan The Redwood have a problem? Owens starts brawling with Rowan. Rowan plants Owens with The Iron Claw Slam.
