But one person took the disrespect too far and that was Cesaro. And he finally figured out why and that is because Cesaro is jealous of him.

Daniel Bryan is in the ring. Bryan hyped up tonight’s main event. Bryan says if Jey wins, we know what we will get. He will do everything in his power to make sure that Roman wins at FastLae. And if Roman was the Champion he thought he was, he wouldn’t need that help. But Edge is the ultimate opportunist. He will do anything he can to get what he wants and what he wants is to face Roman Reigns one on one at WrestleMania.

Bryan says he gets it, he understands why and that is because Edge doesn’t want to face him. And Edge thinks that he can beat Roman Reigns but the difference is Edge thinks he can beat Roman while Bryan knows he can beat Roman. He says he will prove it at Fastlane. He says he will make Roman tap out.

He says Bryan has a better chance of shooting lightning out of his ass than tapping him out. Roman tells him no one in his entire career has ever tapped him out. He would rather lose his arm than to tap out to any man. And he will rather die in that ring than to tap out to somebody like him.

Bryan says that is pretty strong but make no mistake, he is talking about lies he has told. All those things that Roman says about himself, those are all lies. They are all delusions. And the thing is that everyone thinks they are invincible until they are not. And everyone thinks they are un-tap-out-able until they tap out. Bryan says he won’t just make Roman quit, he is going to break him. He is going to break him of his beliefs, of everything he thinks he is.

Daniel says he hopes Roman doesn’t die but if he taps out or doesn’t tap out, he will beat Roman for the Universal Championship at Fastlane.
