WWE Champion Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring.
Daniel says last week he came out here and called all of you people sheep. The first thing he wants to do is come out and apologize. Daniel says he wants to apologize to sheep for being compared to you idiots. They are not the ones mindlessly destroying the Earth with their actions. There is no carbon hoofprint. You are not sheep, you are more like parasites.

Daniel says he sees a lot of Mustafa in himself. Daniel says he has some advice. They don't need this match tonight. After this match, the people will not care because they are so self-absorbed and xenophobic. These fickle people do not deserve this.
Ali wants to know what happened to Daniel because he looks up to Daniel and that is why he became a wrestler. Daniel was the underdog who could hang with anyone because he has heart. What happened? You talk about the old Daniel Bryan. The old Daniel Bryan would want to fight and Mustafa says that is what he wants. He wants a fight.
Daniel asks Ali what kind of car does he drive.
Ali doesn't know what it has to do with this, but he says he drives an SUV.
Bryan says that Ali is a small little man so why would you need to drive an SUV.
