Michael talks about the Number One Contender match for the Tag Titles later tonight as well as the match between John Cena and Luke Harper.
Kane makes his way to the ring.
Kane says that this past Monday was a glorious night for the WWE. Kane provides us with footage of the end of the Yes Movement. We see what happened at the end of Raw.
Kane says Daniel Bryan had this coming. He is an insufferable egomaniac who lives for the constant adulation that the ignorant members of the WWE Universe feed to him. If you want to blame anyone for what happened to Daniel Bryan on Monday, look in the mirror because it is your fault.
He began to believe that he was bigger than WWE and bigger than The Authority. On Monday, Daniel Bryan and all of you learned an important lesson. No one is bigger than the Authority. What Triple H did to Daniel Bryan was something that should have happened a long time ago and was something that Daniel Bryan deserved.
Let that be a lesson to all of you whose delusions of grandeur made you believe that you were bigger than yourselves and thought that was the case. Some people are just better than others. The Authority is better than Daniel Bryan. The Authority is much better than all of you.
What happened to your precious Yes Movement on Monday is what you all deserved.
Kane takes out a letter from Triple H that Kane is going to read on his behalf.
It is with deep regret that I have had to take matters into my own hands as it relates to the lack of discipline and respect that Daniel Bryan has shown The Authority. I regret that Daniel pushed my wife and me into an untenable position having to use our discretionary powers. It is not often that we have to resort to force. When the circumstances call for it, we will strike with great vengeance. We hope the WWE Universe understands that there must be respect for authority. Thank you and welcome to Smackdown.
