Jinder Mahal and Sunil Singh walk in the back as we go to commercial.

We are back and Sunil introduces Jinder Mahal.

Jinder says that all of the people who are booing him are hypocrites.  He has sacrificed everything to be on the grandest stage.  Jinder says he does not have to be here.  He could be vacationing anywhere.  He could be the biggest star in Bollywood.  Jinder says he restored glory into the WWE Championship.  He made Smackdown the premiere show.  You shower him with your jealousy.  Jinder says you should be worshiping the ground he walks on.  You claim to be open minded and look for change, but all you want is the status quo with Randy Orton.

Bobby Roode's music interrupts.

Bobby says the only hypocrite is you.  Bobby says respect is a two way street and you don't deserve any respect.  As a matter of fact, the only thing you deserve at Wrestlemania is him beating Jinder in the middle of the ring to win back his United States Title.  When he does it will be . . . 

Randy Orton interrupts.

Randy tells Jinder to shut up.  He does not understand why nobody respects you.  You don't understand why your name is not mentioned when the greatest champions of all time.  It is because without the help of your little stooge, you suck.

Jinder leaves Sunil in the ring as he escapes.  Randy stops Sunil and hits the IEDDT.  Orton twists into position but Roode with a kick and he hits the Glorious DDT.  Roode tries for a Glorious DDT on Orton but Orton escapes.  Orton tries for an RKO but Roode escapes.

Daniel Bryan is on the phone and he is told that Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have arrived.  He tells the production assistant he will see them in the ring.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Daniel Bryan is on the turnbuckles leading the crowd in a Yes Chant.

Daniel says this has been a big night for him, but there is one more thing to address.  The guys are here so he asks for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to make their way to the ring.

Kevin and Sami are in a very very very very very very good mood as they make their way to the ring.  

Kevin hugs Daniel and then Sami shakes Daniel's hand and hugs him.

Kevin says they are so thrilled for him.  They weren't going to come because without Shane here, what is the point.  Then they got the news everyone has been waiting for.  Daniel Bryan has been cleared for in ring competition and will talk about it on Smackdown.  They raced here and they would have gotten here earlier but they got stopped by Walker, Texas Ranger.  They got out of the ticket because everyone is dumber in Texas.  They are happy to share this with Daniel.

Sami says they wouldn't miss this for the world.  You have been their biggest supporters since Day One.  No one understood them like Daniel.  When everyone was jealous of their success, you were fair.  When Shane tried to hold them down, you were fair.  Now Daniel Bryan gets to return to in ring competition.  This is a classic case of good things happening to good people.  You talk about A show versus B show.  Any show with a roster that has Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Daniel Bryan are top show.  That sounds like a Dream Team.

Daniel says he appreciates that but that is not why he brought them out here. 

We see what happened to Shane last week at the hands, feet, and other body parts of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.

Sami tells Kevin not to have so much fun. 

Daniel asks if they thought it was funny.

Kevin says they are man enough to say they went too far.  Sami says that it looked extreme, but he kind of deserved it.

Daniel says they are acting like it is no big deal.  This is not a small thing.  This is a big deal.  You have to know this and understand.  You are two of the best performers in this generation and when Shane McMahon says he was living vicariously through them.  Shane was right.  They came from the same place and they have known each other for fifteen years.  That was more than getting carried away.  You assaulted your boss.

Daniel says this is what he doesn't get.  You won.  Shane admitted he was wrong and he put you in a singles match on the grandest stage of them all.  Imagine ten years ago in an armory in front of 300 people, what would you have done if someone said you would wrestle each other at Wrestlemania.  Shane was leaving to get out of your way.  You still felt the need to assault your boss.

Daniel says he does not get it.  Shane was right.  Daniel says he doesn't want to have to do this.  Daniel says he has been fired by this company twice and he came back a better man.  You can learn and you can grow.  Daniel says he hates that he has to do this.  Sami . . . Kevin . . . You're Fired.

This doesn't mean you are gone forever, it means that you are gone now.  Daniel says they mean so much to him.

Daniel offers his hand to them.

They shake his hand and then they turn around and Kevin hits Daniel with a forearm.  Kevin yells that you did this.  Sami punches Daniel but Daniel punches back.  Bryan with kicks to Owens in the corner but Sami attacks Daniel.  Daniel with a suplex and running drop kicks.  Daniel with kicks of Yes but Sami stops Daniel before the round kick and he punches Daniel.  Kevin with a super kick.  Kevin holds Daniel for a Helluva Kick.

Owens punches Daniel and Sami sends Daniel to the floor.  Sami picks up Daniel for a power bomb onto the apron and he hits it.

We go to credits.
