We cannot forget Daniel’s opponent for SummerSlam. John Cena will face Ryback in a Tables Match.
We are in Laredo, Texas and your announcers are Michael ‘The roster could do This Tuesday in Texas’ Cole and Jerry ‘Who wants some BTS action from Total Divas’ Lawler.
Vince McMahon makes his way to the ring with Brad Maddox.
Vince says that they are going to have some fun tonight. Vince gives the mic to Brad and Brad is a bit hesitant to speak.
Brad apologizes for his bonehead decision to allow John Cena to choose his opponent at SummerSlam. He gives the mic back to Vince.
Vince asks Brad if he remembers calling Daniel a troll. A troll is a hideously ugly dwarf. Vince also said that Daniel is undersized and has psychological problems. He also said that Daniel did not have the aura to be a WWE Champion. He asks Brad how he really feels about Daniel Bryan.
Daniel Bryan’s music interrupts Brad and he makes his way to the ring.
Daniel and Vince shake hands and Vince wants some decorum from the fans.
Daniel tells Brad and Vince that those words came out of the mouth of Brad Maddox but they were probably dictated by Vince.
Vince tells Daniel that he interrupted the Chairman of the Board. That is a lack of respect.
Daniel says that respect is a two way street. Despite giving everything he has night after night and year after year for Vince’s company, Vince has not given him an ounce of respect.
Vince asks Daniel if he respects John Cena while telling the crowd to be quiet.
Daniel says that he respects John Cena as a human being and a champion. He respects John Cena for picking him as his opponent.
Vince asks Daniel if he would respect John if he was lying through his teeth. John is a master manipulator. He said that Daniel earned his opportunity and is the hottest thing going in the WWE today.
John Cena is lying to Daniel and making Daniel look foolish. He asks if Daniel is a fool. He asks the people if they are fools. John knows what Vince knows. Daniel cannot beat John Cena. He can’t beat Kane because he doesn’t have the intangible. He does not have RUTHLESS AGGRESSION. That is what propelled Cena to the top. He says that Cena is ripe for the taking.
Vince says that he does not want Cena to win. Cena walks around like he owns the place and acts like he is a better man. Vince points out that he owns this place. Does Vince want a half pint troll to be the WWE Champion? It would be the biggest embarrassment in WWE History. The only person who wins is Vince. He gets on Daniel’s level and stoops down. He says that they are both in the ring and they lock up . . . then we get spontaneous combustion with neither man to be seen again.
Daniel says that if John is lying to him, he will have hell to pay. The thing he likes about Vince McMahon. He wants to get on Vince’s level and he gets on his toes.
Vince is always honest with him and tells him what he really thinks. In Vince’s own words, it doesn’t matter what he thinks. It matters what THEY think.
It sounds like they want a new champion at SummerSlam and his name is Daniel Bryan. He wants Vince to listen to the WWE Universe. He asks if the people want a new WWE Champion and the crowd chants ‘Yes’.
The Shield make their way through the crowd for their match.
