We are in Seattle, Washington and your announcers are Corey Graves, Michael Cole, and Byron Saxton.
Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring.
The Seattle crowd is happy to see Daniel in the ring and Daniel looks surprised and excited for their response.
Daniel says it is great to be home and he reminds the crowd that it is only a two hour show so they cannot chant like that. He says there will be a six woman tag match with Natalya, Tamina, and Lana facing Naomi, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair. He says there will be a special announcement from WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. Daniel says that Dolph Ziggler will face Bobby Roode tonight.
Daniel says that speaking of Hell in a Cell, he has someone to address. This person's actions disappointed him. Daniel says that he is talking about Sami Zayn. Daniel says when he first came to Smackdown, he said he wanted Sami . . .
Sami's music interrupts and he comes to the ring.
Daniel says after everything you did, you are smiling and dancing around. Is this the Sami Zayn that he has known for thirteen years.
Sami asks what is the big difference? He is still a great guy. Nothing has changed. All he did was take ownership of his career back. Does that make him a bad guy? He gets that some of THESE people think that makes him a bad guy, but he expected Daniel to understand.
Daniel says he gets the frustration and he has been in Sami's shoes.
Sami says they are not the same. There are similarities. They are gifted in ring performers, at least Sami says he still is. Management never believed in either of them. The difference is that you had THEM. They made you the superstar you are. They started the Yes Movement. They put you in the main event of Wrestlemania.
When it came to him, they did not hold up their part of the agreement. Sami would do everything that was right that the crowd would chant so loud that they made him desirable to management, but they never did it. Sami says he doesn't care any more. Sami says it feels amazing. If you would feel as amazing as he does now, he would be smiling too. He tells Daniel to get rid of the martyr complex. If you were smarter instead of working harder, you wouldn't have had to retire in this building.
Sami says it broke his heart more than anyone in the crowd. He says Daniel was a once in a generation performer. He tried to catch up to Daniel and every time he got to Daniel's level, Daniel was two steps ahead of him. Now Daniel is the last person he wants to be like. A man who gave his body and broke his body for the glory and adulation just to end up a housewife.
Kevin Owens makes his way to the ring.
Kevin tells Sami he is so happy for him to see that Sami saw the light and started to listen to what he has been saying all along. Sami has been right about Daniel Bryan, but he wants to clarify things. He was a pathetic martyr and he was a housewife to the point he was Mr. Bella. Daniel has become what he fought against for so long. Daniel is a hypocrite.
Daniel says that Kevin tries to infect everyone with his poisonous thinking. You did it to Sami before. All you care about is yourself. Daniel says Kevin may resent him because he cares about what is best for the fans.
Kevin says Daniel cares about doing what is best for business. Kevin says Daniel Bryan is now the Authority.
Sami says Kevin is right. Daniel is what he fought his entire career against. There is only one word for that and it is sell out. Sami says that could have been him and he thanks Kevin for saving him.
Kevin and Sami hug and Daniel leaves the ring.
Kevin asks Daniel what is he doing and he remembers that walking out of arenas is what Daniel does best these days.
Daniel says he is going to find a couple of dudes to punch you guys in the face.
