Punk beating Curtis Axel, but then getting pinned by Paul Heyman. Then they showed Daniel Bryan\u2019s WWE Title celebration.<\/p>\n<p>-No Raw intro or announcer intro after that. Instead, Justin Roberts introduced Bryan as the \u201cnew WWE Champion!\u201d The crowd cheered and of course chanted \u201cYes! Yes!\u201d as he walked out wearing the WWE Title belt.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan smiled wide when his music stopped and he heard a \u201cDaniel Bryan!\u201d chant break out.<\/p>\n<p><em>(WK Reax: It is moments like this where people who don\u2019t \u201cget\u201d pro wrestling but see this scene have to be wondering if all of these fans \u201cdon\u2019t know it\u2019s fake.\u201d It really is such a unique form of entertainment with the crowd interaction and reaction.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As Bryan shouted \u201cYes! Yes!\u201d Triple H\u2019s music interrupted. Bryan looked confused and annoyed by his appearance. Michael Cole said the COO of WWE, Triple H, cannot be happy with what happened at Night of Champions. Jerry Lawler said maybe Triple H is coming to admit that Bryan deserves to be \u201cthe face of WWE.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Triple H said he wants to address the 800 pound gorilla in the room &#8211; the referee\u2019s fast count. He said it\u2019s what social media is talking about, it\u2019s what the fans in the crowd are talking about, and what the talent are talking about. He said his win is tainted. He called referee Scott Armstrong to the ring.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2497481425\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Triple H threw to several clips of Armstrong\u2019s normal cadence for a three count and the fast count at the end. They even did a split screen and ran them simultaneously. Triple H asked him to explain it. Armstrong said, \u201cIt was a fast count. I don\u2019t know.\u201d Triple H asked if that\u2019s all he had to say. Armstrong admitted he made a mistake. Triple H asked him to explain it. Bryan looked nonplussed during all of this. Triple H said there just be more to this, so tell him the truth. Armstrong leaned in and said something to Bryan. Triple H asked, \u201cDid you just say, \u2018They got us, Daniel. They\u2019re on to us.\u2019\u201d Bryan was completely confused. Triple H ordered Armstrong to the back.<\/p>\n<p>Triple H said he is ashamed of Bryan. He said he embarrassed himself by entering into a conspiracy with a WWE official. Triple H told Bryan as of this moment he is holding the WWE Title up. He said he won\u2019t return it to Orton, but as of this moment he is no longer WWE Champion. The crowd erupted in boos. Hunter said he is going to investigate it further, but as of now there is no WWE Champion. He asked him to do the right thing and hand over the WWE Championship belt. Bryan refused and denied the accusation. Triple H said, \u201cI would have thought Shawn [Michaels] taught you better than this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Triple H told him to hand over the title belt or he would take it from him. Bryan refused. He shouted at Triple H off-mic that he kneed Randy Orton in the face and knocked him out. Orton\u2019s music played and Orton walked out. Bryan held the belt in his arms in front of him and took some deep breaths, then yelled, \u201cNo!\u201d Hunter tried to take it. Orton gave Bryan an RKO. Hunter then grabbed the belt and left with it. A loud chant of \u201cRandy sucks!\u201d broke out and filled the arena.<\/p>\n<p>[Q2]<\/p>\n<p>[c] -Backstage Triple H was updating Stephanie McMahon when Orton walked up to Hunter and yelled, \u201cWhat the hell is going on? Give me my title.\u201d Stephanie stepped between them and growled at him, \u201cWho do you think you\u2019re talking to? That\u2019s the COO of WWE. As far as we\u2019re concerned, you deserved to lose last night. What happened to the Randy Orton of old, with no remorse, the sick bastard who handcuffed my husband and gave me a DDT. Until you find that Randy Orton again, maybe we\u2019ll have to find a new face of WWE.\u201d She stormed away. Hunter leaned in and said, \u201cThat\u2019s the guy we\u2019re looking for.\u201d Orton nodded and soaked up the situation.<\/p>\n<p><em>(WK Reax: That is as angry unhinged as Stephanie has ever come across on TV. She\u2019s better at that than crying, that\u2019s for sure.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) DEAN AMBROSE vs. DOLPH ZIGGLER &#8211; Non-Title match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just like last night at the PPV, the announcers used this match as a backdrop to talk about the WWE Title controversy. JBL said Hunter was doing what was best for business. Cole expressed the obvious suspicion that Bryan did not actually conspire with Armstrong. They cut to a break at 2:00 [c]<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2348975533\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Lawler and JBL continued the debate. Lawler said Triple H and Armstrong were in cahoots, not Bryan and Armstrong.<\/p>\n<p>[Q3]<\/p>\n<p>Ziggler nailed a hard DDT mid-ring at 9:00 to reverse momentum. Both were slow to get up. Ziggler hit a running clothesline and then his ten elbowdrop series. Lawler said, \u201cYou\u2019re not going to like this, Dean.\u201d JBL called it a \u201cheartstopper.\u201d Lawler chuckled. Ambrose attempted a comeback, but Ziggler turned it into a backslide. Ambrose knocked Ziggler off the top rope, then lifted him for his finisher, but Ziggler slipped free and gave Ambrose the Zig Zag for the win. Cole said that move worked for Ambrose last night, tonight Ziggler countered for the win. Ziggler celebrated with some fans in the front row.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Ziggler in 12:00.<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage Big Show looked down at Brad Maddox with a sense of impending doom and bitterness over what Hunter and Steph had in store for him. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage Steph was chatting with Show as Maddox asked Hunter if he really wants Bryan to face Roman Reigns later. Hunter confirmed it. Maddox applauded his decision to hold up the title. Maddox told Steph that Dusty Rhodes was there. She said Big Show was suspended without pay on Smackdown. She said that must hurt because he is broke. She said the unemployment line is long. She ordered him to sit down in her office and stay out of trouble, and if she needs him, she will call. Show said, \u201cYes, Mrs. McMahon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-They went to Cole, JBL, and Lawler at ringside. They reacted to the Big Show, then recapped the Heyman-Punk finish with Ryback\u2019s interference.<\/p>\n<p>-The Fandango and Summer Rae ring entrance took place. [c]<\/p>\n<p>[Q4]<\/p>\n<p>-A clip aired of the \u201cDancing with the Superstars\u201d competition on Smackdown last week with Fandango, Truth, Great Khali, and The Miz. When Cole said Miz was a disco inferno, JBL said, \u201cWho would use a moniker like that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) FANDANGO (w\/Summer Rae) vs. R-TRUTH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fandango landed a top rope legdrop to win 3:00. As Fandango and Rae celebrated, Lawler said they are always in perpetual motion.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Fandango in 3:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(WK Reax: With Cole, JBL, Lawler, and Justin Roberts all calling him \u201cFahn-dahn-go,\u201d why are there still people calling him \u201cFan-dang-go\u201d? That\u2019s not his name. It\u2019s like calling Miz \u201cMeez\u201d or John Cena \u201cJohn Sin-ah.\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Backstage The Prime Time PLayers, Booker T, Ricardo Rodrigues, and Natalya were gathered around Dusty Rhodes chatting him up. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-A commercial aired for \u201cTriple H: The Kingdom Come\u201d DVD coming out next week. There were a lot of funny looking awkward teenage pictures of him they showed.<\/p>\n<p>-Clips aired of the Cody Rhodes firing two weeks ago and the Dustin Rhodes loss last week.<\/p>\n<p>-Dusty Rhodes came out to his WWE theme music. He looked stressed out over the situation with his sons. He said he wasn\u2019t there as The American Dream tonight, he\u2019s there are Virgil Runnels. He said he wanted the McMahons to understand something. He said they never went down \u201cthat bad road\u201d like he has. He said he raised two great young men, but he went through tough times trying to figure out how to pay the bills. He said he dug deep down to find a way because of his love for his sons.<\/p>\n<p>[Q5]<\/p>\n<p>Dusty continued to talk about what happened to his sons. He said last week Goldust \u201ctook a mighty swing.\u201d He said the greatest gift God can give anyone is their children. He said he called for a meeting to negotiate a chance for his son to get his job back. He asked Stephanie to \u201cdrag those long legs out here\u201d and \u201cget to it.\u201d Stephanie walked out and patronizingly applauded Dusty\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cThat was beautiful. From one parent to another, Virgil, that was remarkable.\u201d She said her husband\u2019s business decision to fire Cody has been weighing on them a lot. She said she understands the wedding was this past week, and she regrets it cast a shadow over the family\u2019s celebration. She offered a gift card from \u201cBed, Bath, and Beyond.\u201d Dusty threw it away and wasn\u2019t impressed. Stephanie said, \u201cWell, if that\u2019s how it\u2019s going to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Quotebook &#8211; Stephanie McMahon: \u201cYou\u2019re the son of a plumber. I can relate to that because I am the daughter of a genius, the genius behind this sports entertainment phenomenon.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Steph said there\u2019s a lot of pressure to succeed in her family. She said what would be right for business would be offering Cody his job back. Dusty said that\u2019s what he wanted. \u201cYou and I are done,\u201d Dusty said. He tried to leave the ring. She said they\u2019d also like to give Dustin a job, but there is only one open spot. Steph said Dusty must choose. Dusty said he won\u2019t make that choice.<\/p>\n<p>Dusty said he had a question. It was clearly not the point in the scripted promo to say that, so Stephanie insisted she talk. Dusty leaned in and told her not to interrupt him. The crowd popped. Steph said he can give the job to the perfect younger son who has always done everything absolutely right and just got married and has his whole life ahead of him, or he can give the job to the son he neglected all those years he was on the road. She said she knows Dusty blames himself for Dustin\u2019s transgressions. She said it\u2019s his chance to make it right and be a hero to one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Dusty said he had a question for her. He asked if she lines up her daughters and ranks them every morning. Steph interrupted Dusty and said he\u2019s trying to make this all about him and his decision. She asked what about Cody, what about Goldust. She asked if he\u2019s going to leave them behind like he always has in the past. Dusty told Stephanie to \u201cgo straight to hell.\u201d He walked away. She said it\u2019s unfortunate he feels that way. The Shield music played.<\/p>\n<p>JBL told Dusty to get out of the ring. The Shield surrounded the ring. Steph said it hardly seems fair, so she called Big Show to the ring to help even things out. Show\u2019s music played and he walked out. Steph said she has a new choice for Dusty &#8211; does he prefer to be dismembered by The Shield or knocked out by Big Show. Lawler said he thought she called Big Show out to even the odds. Since Dusty refused to answer, she ordered Show to knock Dusty out. Show looked dismayed and began to cry again. She then ordered The Shield to get Dusty.<\/p>\n<p>Show stepped in between the Shield and Dusty. He had to be bleeped as he told the Shield to back down. Roman Reigns slid three chairs into the ring. Show then wound up, cried, leaned in and whispered to Dusty and hugged him, and then sobbed. Steph ordered Show to do it. Show apologized, then punched Dusty in the face. He hugged Dusty and helped him down to the mat gradually. The crowd booed. Lawler asked how someone could be so heartless. Medics came in and tended to Dusty show as knocked out cold.<\/p>\n<p><em>(WK Reax: Stephanie is coming across as an awful human being here, which is the intent. The crowd is not siding with Show here, though, because as much as WWE made it seem like he has no choice, they see his choice week after week to be completely unacceptable and selfish.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[Q6]<\/p>\n<p>[c] -Show accompanied Dusty as he was being stretchered admits backstage chaos into an ambulance. Other wrestlers shouted encouragement to Dusty. Show rode in the ambulance with him. Zack Ryder and Booker T were among the wresters at the scene as the ambulance drove away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) LAYLA &amp; AKSANA &amp; ALICIA FOX vs. BRIE BELLA &amp; NAOMI &amp; CAMERON<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Natalya and A.J. Lee were at ringside on commentary. Natalya\u2019s headset mic wasn\u2019t working. Lawler offered his to her after about a minute. Natalya accused A.J. of screwing with her headset.<\/p>\n<p>(Quotebook &#8211; A.J. Lee to Natalya: \u201cYou say crazy like it\u2019s a bad thing.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>-The announcers awkwardly talked with disgust about their boss Stephanie acting like an awful person to 68 year old Dusty and The Big Show.<\/p>\n<p>[Q7]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) DAMIEN SANDOW vs. ROB VAN DAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lawler said Sandow is actually proud of the way he knocked his best friend Cody Rhodes off the ladder to win the Money in the Bank ladder match. Ricardo introduced RVD. During RVD\u2019s entrance, the announcers received the finish of the World Title match at the PPV. The announcers talked about the Daniel Bryan WWE Title situation. RVD won after a side kick and the Five-Star Frog Splash. In a rare error from the sound board operator, they played Sandow\u2019s music first. The crowd was hilariously paralyzed with confusion, but when the music switched to RVD\u2019s a few seconds later, all was right in the world and they could cheer.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: RVD in 3:00.<\/p>\n<p>-Sandow, as he does after each of his frequent losses these days, held up his MITB briefcase and bragged that\u2019s still the guaranteed next World Champion. That\u2019s why his music was ready to play.<\/p>\n<p>-Cole announced that Miz was granted against Orton in his hometown of Cleveland, and it is up next. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-They showed scenes from the streets of Downtown Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p>-They went backstage to Triple H who was deep in his own thoughts when Scott Armstrong walked up to him. Hunter told Armstrong that he asked to speak to him because he\u2019s in a jam. He said he had to hold the title up in a state of abeyance because of him. He said WWE officials have to be above reproach because without referee integrity. \u201cIf we don\u2019t have that, we have nothing,\u201d he said. Hunter offered him a generous severance package for being a loyal employee for 20 years. Hunter told a worried Armstrong that he will take good care of him. Lawler said Hunter is on a \u201cpower trip.\u201d Cole agreed and said the entire night seems to be a \u201cpower trip.\u201d Not sure if they used that phrase before tonight.<\/p>\n<p>-Orton came out first. Then Miz got the best reaction he\u2019s gotten in forever from his hometown crowd. Miz hugged his mom na dad, at which point Orton jumped him at ringside and threw him into the ringside steps. Miz\u2019s parents looked on with great concern. Lawler said Orton\u2019s attack was clearly brought on by the pep talk Steph gave him earlier. With Miz knocked out, they cut to a break before the match began. [c\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>[Q8]\u00a0[\u2026c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) RANDY ORTON vs. THE MIZ<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cole said Miz\u2019s shoulder is clearly injured, but he refused to see a doctor and insisted on wrestling the match. The bell rang and Miz jumped Orton furiously. Orton immediately took over, and managed to overwhelm Miz. Orton set up his second rope DDT at 2:00. Miz escaped and backdropped Orton over the top rope to the ring apron, then snapped his neck over the top rope. Miz threw Orton into the ring apron and ringside barrier. Orton, though, countered by throwing Miz face-first into the ringpost. They cut to Miz\u2019s parents throughout this.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Double Countout in 2:00.<\/p>\n<p>-Orton threw Miz over the announce table. Orton punched Miz right in front of Miz\u2019s parents. Miz fought back and clotheslined Orton over the ringside barrier. Orton, though, once again took over and dragged Miz close to his parents, punching him repeatedly in the head.<\/p>\n<p>Lawler said Orton was disgusting. Miz\u2019s mom began to break down. Orton then gave Miz his DDT off the barricade. Cole called for somebody to stop Orton. Nobody did. Orton rolled Miz into the ring. Orton grabbed a chair at ringside, walked tauntingly past Miz\u2019s parents, and then entered the ring. He put Miz\u2019s head inside a chair. Cole said somebody has to do something about this. Orton delivered a running knee drop to the chair. Miz\u2019s mother covered her face in dismay and concern. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-A clip aired of Ryback helping Paul Heyman beat C.M. Punk last night.<\/p>\n<p>[Q9]<\/p>\n<p>-Curts Axel wheeled Paul Heyman onto the stage in a wheelchair. Ryback stood beside him. Heyman had a wide smile.<\/p>\n<p>(Quotebook &#8211; Paul Heyman: \u201cMy name is Paul Heyman and I am the best in the world.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>He told the fans to boo him, but he reminded them that envy is one of the ten deadly sins. He said everyone knows how many heathens there are in Cleveland. Heyman bragged that he pinned Punk. He said he can say it over and over and over and over and over again. He said every time he says it, it will be the truth. The crowd chanted \u201cC.M. Punk.\u201d He said the record books will forever give testimony to the fact that the first time Heyman and Punk came face-to-face, the winner of the match was Heyman. He said more importantly, Punk will go down as the loser.<\/p>\n<p>Heyman admitted there was no master plan or back-up plan. He said Punk delivered a beating to him that was so heinous that he is confined to a wheelchair. He said Punk gave him perhaps the most vicious beating in WWE history, and it\u2019s a miracle he\u2019s not a vegetable rotting away in a nursing home right now. He said he is there to speak to them because of one man. He said he owes his life to Ryback. When a \u201cGoldberg\u201d chant started, Heyman briefly paused and then talked over it, no-selling it, which is the right move. He called Ryback \u201ca big, beautiful man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryback said if there\u2019s one thing he can\u2019t stand, it\u2019s a bully. He accused Punk of being a bully. He said he doesn\u2019t like Punk and he\u2019s there to stop him. Ryback kneeled down and looked Paul in the eye and said as long as he\u2019s around, Punk will never put his hands on him. Heyman leaned over and kissed Ryback on the cheek. Ryback let out that huge mouth laugh he has, then smiled and told Heyman he\u2019s \u201ctoo much.\u201d Cole called it one of the strangest nights he can ever remember.<\/p>\n<p>-Another vignette aired hyping Los Matadores. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-They replayed the kiss from a new angle in slow motion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) THE USOS vs. TONS OF FUNK (Brodus Clay &amp; Sweet T) vs. THE REAL AMERICANS (Jack Swagger &amp; Antonio Cesaro)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was triple threat rules where two wrestlers were in the ring at a time, but a wrestler in the ring can tag in anyone else from any team. The winning team gets a title shot down the line. Cole said Dusty Rhodes was transported to a local medical facility and they have been told he is conscious. Cesaro tagged himself in and blindsided Sweet T with a cradle pinball win. That eliminated Tons of Funk. They cut to a break as it came down to just two teams.<\/p>\n<p>[Q10]<\/p>\n<p>[c] They showed that only WWE App viewers got to see the Cesaro \u201cBig Swing\u201d with two dozen revolutions. The crowd began chanting JBL\u2019s name. Lawler said now it\u2019s time for the \u201cobligatory announcer chant.\u201d JBL said it\u2019s not obligatory, it was for him. When a Lawler chant began seconds later, he said, \u201cNow that\u2019s obligatory.\u201d Next came a \u201cRandy Savage\u201d chant. At 10:00 the Usos dove over the top rope and took down both Real Americans. The Usos eventually won after some four-way chaos and then a top rope splash on Swagger for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: The Usos in 11:00 to earn a future WWE Tag Team Title shot.<\/p>\n<p>-They went to the announcers at ringside. Cole said Miz has a \u201cdamaged thorax.\u201d They are thankful Miz\u2019s neck is not broken. Lawler said Dusty\u2019s vital signs are okay, but they\u2019re keeping him overnight for further observation. Cole plugged the Bryan vs. Reigns main event.<\/p>\n<p>-A video package aired on a WWE charity event at a Sterling Heights, Michigan school. Brodus Clay said he likes to read because it takes him to magic places. Hornswoggle was also at the event.<\/p>\n<p><em>(WK Reax: Good to see they didn\u2019t show heels smiling with the kids at that event. As ridiculous as it\u2019d have been to show a smiling nice Stephanie or Orton or Ryback at that event, WWE didn\u2019t know any better a year ago when they showed these clips featuring active heels being nice to kids.) [c]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[Q11]<\/p>\n<p>-A Wyatt Family vignette aired. Bray said that they say patience is a virtue, but to him it\u2019s a lost art because people want everything and more and more of it, not realizing that beyond their precious walls there is another world full of animals. He said in his world when one of them is sick or hurt, they don\u2019t let them wallow in agony, but rather they put them down.<\/p>\n<p>-They went to the announcers. Lawler said it is without a night the weirdest night of Raw ever. Cole said it\u2019s been disturbing. They commented on clips of the Steph-Show-Dusty angle earlier. Cole said Cody sent out a Tweet that said simply \u201cCowards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-They went backstage where babyface wrestlers consoled a dejected Bryan who was walking with his shoulders slumped. He even got a hug from girlfriend Brie Bella, a rare \u201cTotal Divas\u201d reference as it relates to Bryan and John Cena\u2019s prominent relationships in that series. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) DANIEL BRYAN vs. ROMAN REIGNS (w\/Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lawler said this is a \u201cpunishment match\u201d for Bryan. JBL disagreed, saying it\u2019s a wonderful opportunity for Bryan. Randy Orton came out just as the match was about to begin. Cole said Orton is in a foul mood because he believes he should have been handed the WWE Title. Lawler interjected the obvious question: What is he doing coming to the ring? The match began 41 minutes into the third hour.<\/p>\n<p>Lawler outright asked JBL if he thinks Armstrong was in cahoots with someone. It was a trick question because Lawler said he, too, thinks he was in cahoots with someone. Cole said he doesn\u2019t believe Orton deserved to have the title handed back to him. Cole, who used to be all over Bryan\u2019s case, even said there\u2019s no reason to doubt Bryan because he\u2019s shown great integrity since he got to WWE.<\/p>\n<p><em>(WK Reax: We\u2019ve now had a full year of Cole going back to being a straight announcer and not goofing off and being the wise-ass heel he was before the Lawler heart attack. It has made WWE TV such a better viewing experience, and it\u2019s especially important for him to be the conscience of WWE in the midst of an angle where the people who own and operate WWE are being scripted to be these awful, horrible people.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[Q12]<\/p>\n<p>They showed a split screen of the pinfall finish last night. Lawler noted that Orton\u2019s shoulders were still down long after the fast three count finished. JBL said he\u2019s embarrassed by what Scott Armstrong did, but he liked him and will miss him.<\/p>\n<p>At 8:00 Bryan climbed to the top rope. Orton stood at ringside as Bryan leaped and landed a missile dropkick. Bryan dove through the rope, but Reigns caught him and rammed him back-first into the ring apron, then tossed him into the ringside barrier. Orton sat back down and smiled. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Cole again said this was a punishment match, but JBL lectured him back by saying this is a great opportunity for Bryan. When Reigns took over, JBL said Bryan knows what he did and guilt is overwhelming him. Lawler repeated that line incredulously. Bryan rallied at 16:00, but Reigns came back with a Samoan Drop. Orton stood up and looked frustrated with Bryan\u2019s kick out. Cole said everyone has learned Bryan won\u2019t go away, he keeps on fighting.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan rallied again and scored some two counts. Orton began to pace at ringside. Bryan knocked Rollins out with a flying dropkick and the back of Rollins\u2019s head hit the announce table. Bryan dropkicked Ambrose off the ring apron, then turned back to Rollins, but Rollins recovered and nailed Bryan with a nasty clothesline. Bryan surprised Rollins with a Yes Lock out of nowhere, though, at 18:00. Orton charged in and the ref called for the DQ.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Bryan via DQ in 18:00.<\/p>\n<p>[Q13]<\/p>\n<p>-Afterward Bryan attempted to put Orton in the Yes Lock, but The Shield jumped in. Orton and The Shield attacked Bryan. The crowd chanted \u201cC.M. Punk.\u201d That\u2019s not gonna happen. He\u2019s in a different universe right now. Orton put Bryan\u2019s head in a chair like he did to Miz earlier in the night, and then he set up a running knee drop. The Usos and Kofi led a massive charge to the ring. \u201cThe rank and file has had enough!\u201d exclaimed Cole. The babyface locker room including RVD, Ziggler, Truth, Justin Gabriel, Prime Time PLayers, and even Zack Ryder beat up The Shield. Bryan led the crowd in chants of \u201cYes! Yes!\u201d and then he gave Rollins a running high knee. The \u201cYes!\u201d chants continued as the wrestlers put Bryan on their shoulders. Cole said, \u201cFinally!\u201d They replayed the Shield beatdown and then went back to the ring where the celebration continued.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS FLASHBACK:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/09\/12\/5-yrs-ago-nxt-tv-report-9-11-13-enzo-cass-rusev-paige-sasha-banks-xavier-woods-leo-krueger-adam-rose-bo-dallas-c-j-parker-juice-robinson\/\">5 YRS AGO \u2013 NXT TV REPORT (9-11-13): Enzo &amp; Cass, Rusev, Paige, Sasha Banks, Xavier Woods, Leo Krueger (Adam Rose), Bo Dallas, C.J.
