We are back and Samoa Joe says tonight we learned a lesson. Physics work different in his world and you learned about that Extreme Reaction Randy Orton. At Elimination Chamber it will be different. It will be about devastation, evisceration, and domination. The ends will be Joe holding the title belt over his head.
Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan are in the ring.
Daniel says finally he gets to talk to people who understand what he is trying to do. The people of the great State of Washington are intelligent people. You are smart people and you realize that we need change. Unfortunately as the WWE Champion, he speaks to a global audience. These people he speaks to do not understand that their crass behavior destroys their minds, kills their bodies, and damages the planet they live in.
They feed their faces with deep fried animal carcasses. Daniel says he is fighting an uphill battle. That is why he created this and he shows the title belt. It is a symbol for people to rally behind. The old title was a symbol of excellence but it was a symbol of excess. This belt is a symbol of excellence and a symbol for change.
Rowan says that great thinkers like Daniel Bryan and himself are considered dangerous because of their ideas. Their ideas have good intentions and that is why people fear them. They especially fear Daniel Bryan because he holds that title. As long as Daniel Bryan is WWE Champion, they will try to silence him.
Daniel tells people not to 'What' Rowan. They tried to silence him because he is not their champion. Daniel serves a greater power than corporate greed, money, or fame. He is the Planet's Champion. The suits back there don't like that. They never wanted him to be champion. That is why he was put in a match he should not be in, the Elimination Chamber. Daniel says he has been there before and he knows what it takes. That only reinforces how dangerous and painful this situation is.

The planet needs Daniel Bryan as the WWE Champion.
