Daniel Bryan vs Bray Wyatt
Bray uppercuts Bryan and whips him, then Bryan kicks him in the stomach and drops him with a knee to the midsection. Bray rolls outside so Bryan dropkicks him through the ropes, then he heads up top and takes him out with a dive. Kane walks to ringside as we go to a break, then we get back to see Bryan send Bray into the corner after a drop toe hold. Bray headbutts Bryan off the apron and whips him into the barricade, then Bray sends him inside and takes him down with a running crossbody. Bray applies a side headlock, then he taunts the crowd before splashing Bryan and hitting him in the corner. Bryan comes back with a clothesline, then he connects with a running corner dropkick before he kicks Bray several times in the chest. Bryan hurricanranas Bray for two, then he kicks him a few more time and hits a suicide dive on the floor. Bryan rolls Bray back in but Kane hits Bryan behind the ref’s back, slamming him headifrst into the apron, then Bray slams him into the turnbuckles and hits Sister Abigail for the win.
Kane attacks Bryan right after the bell and chokeslams him, then he hits him several more times before leaving.
Winner – Bray Wyatt
Triple H takes a phone call before Kevin Nash and Scott Hall walk in, and they reminisce about old times and Nash asks him to run around with them tonight. Shawn Michaels walks in and says he should actually get on the Legends Panel tonight, then Damien X-Pac-dow comes in and does a bunch of crotch chops. The real X-Pac walks in and has a little fun with it, and they mime each other until The Miz says Sandow is his stunt double, no one else’s. Nash and everyone laugh and he says he can’t believe this is the show HHH runs, and HHH holds his forehead and chuckles along.
BP: If this was all a setup to rip on the RAW content or the IWC, it was dumb. Bryan versus Wyatt was good for what it was; Bryan works off some ring rust, sets up program with Kane for Smackdown, and Wyatt gets another win.
Byron Saxton welcomes everyone to the Royal Rumble Legends panel, and panelists Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels enter the ring. HBK and Hulk say John Cena should get to win the three fired Superstars’ jobs back, but Flair says no. They talk about Flair winning the 1992 Royal Rumble and how great it was, then Saxton asks HBK and Hulk about their Rumble wins too. HBK says he thinks Bray Wyatt is the person to win the Rumble this year, then HBK and Hogan exchange some words and resolve it quickly. Hogan says his pick is Daniel Bryan, and Flair says he likes guys that walk on the wild side, and he is picking Dean Ambrose.
