Bo Dallas vs. Kofi Kingston

Bo Dallas cut a promo and said that even though the Chicago Blackhawks were going to lose, Chicago could still be winners if they ‘Bo-Lieved.”

Kane’s pyro hit and he came to the ring and attacked Kofi. He destroyed him and tossed him out of the ring, then nailed a big boot to the face. Kane grabbed him and chokeslammed him hard. He grabbed Kingston and nailed a tombstone. Kane’s pyro exploded from the ringposts again and he walked off.

Bo Dallas hid at ringside standing in the corner by the guard rails during all this. He grabbed a ring mic. He told Kingston not to worry because he would be back on his feet in “no time and better than ever.” All Kofi has to do – all the fans have to do – is BO-LIEVE. That was pretty funny.

Some in the crowd chanted, “We Bo-lieve.”

Stiff match! Solid stuff. The right guy won.

Stephanie McMahon called out WWE World Heavyweight champion Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella. If Bryan doesn’t surrender the title, Brie will be fired. Stephanie said that she’s happy to see Brie here because it’s been an unfortunate predicament that Bryan has put his wife in,. She said that if at some point, they have weird bearded babies, they will be able to show them whether he’s going to do the right thing or show them how selfish he is.

Bryan said that while it’s a longshot, he thinks it might be a moment for Stephanie. He reminded her of the reaction she received coming out. She said that doesn’t change the fact that she’s the boss. Bryan said that this is her chance to do the right thing and he fought hard to headline Wrestlemania. The crowd chanted “CM Punk” and Bryan stopped and smiled. Stephanie said that Bryan can quit just like CM Punk did.

Bryan said that he hopes that Stephanie’s children are watching so they can see what a “narcissistic, self-centered little…what is that word?” Brie said, “BITCH!” Stephanie said that we now know who holds the pants in the family and said that Brie’s only mistake was picking a loser husband. Brie told Bryan that he knows what needs to be done.

Stephanie demanded Bryan hand over the belts and do the right thing. Brie said she’s not going to be a powerless victim. Stephanie said that she’s in charge of Brie. Brie said, “You can’t fire me. I quit!” She then slapped the hell out of Stephanie, who stood there stunned as the crowd went ballistic for it.

Stephanie walked out and finally ran down the aisle as Bryan and Brie led the “Yes” chants.

So, Daniel Bryan will live another day as WWE World champion!

For storyline stuff to further the title situation, this was good.
