In-Ring: King Corbin, Roman Reigns

Out comes Daniel Bryan first and Corbin says he has something to say before the match. He says he sees Bryan chopping at the bit but this is Smackdown, this is his kingdom and they do things his way. Corbin says all these people like Bryan but that’s because all these bottom feeders are jealous of his success. Corbin says yes, Bryan and The Miz have families. They are terrible fathers, yes, he and The Miz want to face Bray Wyatt and yes they are former world champions who have main evented Wrestlemania.

Corbin says that if they think they will beat him tonight, The Fiend has probably taken out some brain matter and what Bryan should do is step aside. Because it’s a disgrace that the king even has to compete tonight. He earned his opportunity when he beat Roman Reigns twice. That’s something no other superstar has done since he has returned. The WWE Universe should be begging him to vanquish Bray Wyatt because only thew strongest, most powerful, more fearsome superstar should be Universal champion. And that is him.

Baron says he gets it. Daniel is a nice guy, the problem is he’s no longer championship material. Kind of like The Miz who plays an action hero in the movies but is not really an action hero. He’s the only one with the ability to beat Wyatt and when he does…
