In-Ring: Big Cass

Renee Young introduces Big Cass to the ring. Young asks him what he will have to do to defeat Daniel Bryan at Money in the Bank. Big Cass mentions the height difference and mentions how when he was at NXT, he was backstage at Wrestlemania 30. And after it ended, he walked down the hallway to go grab his bag and he was walking behind Daniel Bryan who had just won the WWE championship. And all he was able to think about was “Seriously, seriously? This pathetic little man is the WWE champion?”

That night at Wrestlemania, his victory was a fluke. Just like his victory over him at Backlash was an absolute fluke.

They then show the clip from last week’s triple threat match between himself, Samoa Joe and Big Cass.

And that is why at Money in the Bank he will do everything he can to beat Daniel Bryan down and embarrass him.

He says Daniel Bryan needs to go home and star on Total Bellas. After Money in the Bank, Daniel Bryan will have to look at himself in the mirror and he will be beaten and battered. And he will come to the slow realization that a pathetic little man like him will never survive in this big man’s world.
