We are in San Antonio, Texas and your announcers are John ‘Is there a leprechaun in the Alamo’ Layfield, Michael ‘Luck of the Irish’ Cole and Jerry ‘Sheamus is my cousin tonight’ Lawler.
Triple H is in the ring as we see the arena.
Hunter says that when this is all said and done, this is your fault. All of this is your fault. It didn’t have to come to this. Now he is going to crush your dreams and end the Yes Movement. He is going to end Daniel Bryan and this is on you because you forced his hand.
Hunter says that he has had a week to relax and think about this. He is going to do what he does in the ring to Daniel Bryan. It will be cold, calculated, and without remorse. Hunter says that he has something to say to Daniel Bryan and he will say it to him later tonight . . . man to man.
Batista makes his way to the ring.
He says that Hunter may have big problems with Daniel Bryan, but Hunter has bigger problems with him. Who does Hunter think he is to give that billy goat faced troll a place in his match at Wrestlemania? This isn’t what he signed up for. He came here to be WWE World Champion and he earned that opportunity by winning the Royal Rumble. He did not come back to be in a Triple Threat Match where he doesn’t need to be pinned to lose.
Hunter wants to know what Batista is thinking because Batista actually thinks that Daniel Bryan could beat him.
Randy Orton makes his way to the ring.
Randy says that he has to agree with Big Dave on this. What was he thinking to make this a mere possibility that the main event of Wrestlemania XXX could be a Triple Threat Match.
Hunter tells Dave and Randy that the Triple Threat Match is not going to happen. What is the matter with them? Has Daniel Bryan really gotten that far inside your heads?
Batista says apparently not as much as he has into Hunter’s.
Randy wants Daniel in a No Disqualification Match so he can prove to Hunter that he can do what Batista couldn’t.
Hunter gives Randy the match.
Randy tells Batista the Yes Movement isn’t why the people are cheering Daniel Bryan. It is because they don’t believe in Batista. When Batista left, nobody cared. When he came back, people cared even less. If Batista had lived up to his hype we wouldn’t have this situation.
Batista says the people care about Daniel because Randy sucks as a WWE Champion. He calls Randy a paper champion. Batista says that Randy will lose to him and he knows it.
Hunter leaves the ring and Batista says that Hunter needs to fix it.
Hunter says that he is sick of all of this. He is sick of Daniel Bryan and the people cheering for him. They are also sick of Hollywood movie stars coming back, thinking they can tell him what is right for this business. He is also sick of technically gifted guys who are so screwed up in the head that they cannot win a match without Hunter holding his hand.
Hunter says that he is thinking that the old man was right. The only one you can trust in this world is yourself. There is going to be a Triple Threat Match at Wrestlemania. Daniel Bryan will not be in it. When he beats Daniel Bryan, the Triple Threat Match will be Batista and Randy Orton . . . and ME.
Hunter leaves and goes up the ramp and Randy Orton with an RKO and he poses.
