CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan in a Champion vs. Champion match is hyped for tonight. Mark Henry vs. The Big Show is also slated for tonight.
World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan comes out for a promo, accompanied by A.J. Bryan talked about how no one believed him when he said he would be world champion. Bryan bragged about winning the SD! Elimination Chamber match, and said that he was like Rocky, not Santino Marella. "CM Punk" chants break out. Bryan said that Sheamus ruined his Chamber moment, and its his turn to ruin Sheamus' WrestleMania moment. Bryan stated that he would be victorious at WrestleMania, just like he will be tonight against CM Punk. The Miz's music hits.
The Miz takes the mic and said that he knew that Bryan would become a champion. Miz said that he molded Bryan, and that he always knew Bryan would make it to the top. Miz then congratulated Bryan for being in the main event of WrestleMania, like he was last year. Miz said that while Bryan continues to follow in his footsteps, they should one day form a tag team. Sheamus' music hits.
Sheamus took the mic and congratulated Bryan for being a massive a–. Sheamus called Bryan a coward that hides behind a woman's skirt instead of fighting like a man. He said that Bryan will get what he deserves at 'Mania. Miz told Sheamus that he deserved to be taken down a notch, and how dare he interrupt himself and Bryan. Sheamus brushed Miz off, and Bryan cheapshotted him. Bryan quickly retreated, and Sheamus threw Miz out of the ring. Sheamus glared at Bryan on the ramp as we head to commercial.
