In Ring Segment: Daniel Bryan
Bryan notes that last week was a roller coaster of action. One of the most unexpected moments came from Dolph Ziggler. Footage of Ziggler leaving the United States title in the ring is shown. Bryan says he has been trying to contact Ziggler all week. Ziggler is not responding to any phone calls or text messages. Bryan says Ziggler has apparently relinquished the U.S. title. Bryan refers to Ziggler as one of the best to ever do it. Bryan announces a tournament to crown a new champion. The first match will be Bobby Roode vs Baron Corbin. Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable interrupt and ask what Bryan is going to do about the tag team title situation. The crowd chants “Rusev Day”. Bryan says they just got a shot at the title. Benjamin says yeah but Bryan added other teams to the match. Gable asks if that was fair. Rusev and Aiden English come out on the stage and the crowd goes NUTS.
English sings why he thinks they should get a shot at the tag titles. They beat the champs two weeks ago, and they didn’t get pinned in the fatal four-way either. Also, we all know what day comes after Christmas. Gable says it’s Boxing Day. Rusev calls Gable and idiot and yells that it’s Rusev Day. The New Day joins the fray and tosses pancakes in the crowd. Woods says these other teams are wasting Bryan’s time. Big E. refers to Benjamin as “old Jason Jordan”. Big E. states the New Day’s case for being the number one contenders. The New Day gets Bryan to gyrate with them as they say WWE Tag Team Champions. Rusev tells them to stop because no one wants to see their swiveling hips. Rusev asks Bryan if he can make a choice or does he have to ask his mommy Shane McMahon. Bryans says he can handle this. The number one contenders will be determined by a triple threat match right now. The Usos come out to watch the match.
#WZChat-
Ziggler should do a memorable exit every week, then show back up and rile up the fans for not appreciating him #SDLive #WZChat
