They Want Bray Wyatt!
The show opens up with a recap of WWE TLC and how Daniel Bryan’s returned to attack WWE Universal Champion Bray Wyatt. We are live from the arena which is decorated for Christmas. Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring with a Yes! chant. Bryan takes the mic and says he is not sure where he went a few weeks ago. But he felt that The Fiend ripped out his beard and hair.
When he came to and he got cleaned up, he looked in the mirror and didn’t notice the beard or the hair missing. He only noticed that the Daniel Bryan brand is missing. His brand value was gone but it didn’t feel lacking. But he saw his daughter for the first time without facial hair, she started crying. All she knew was Daniel Bryan- the brand and did not recognize him. Bryan also says the real man he saw in the mirror was the same man who came to TLC and kicked Wyatt’s ass.
Bryan calls Wyatt to the ring but The Miz comes out instead. Miz talks about how Wyatt violated he and his family and TLC was about protecting his family, which is something Wyatt will never have. Baron Corbin makes his way to the ring. He mocks Bryan by saying his daughter was scared when Bryan went home with the new look.
