World Heavyweight champion Daniel Bryam makes his way to the squared circle and begins talking about what he did on Monday. He mentions to the crowd that he finally showed everyone who he is. Hey says that while he knows both The Big Show and Randy Orton were taken away from the arena, if they were real men, they would be in the ring with him now. Bryan feels that they are afraid of him and that he plans to embarrass them because he will continue to win. Bryan says that none of the fans believed in him but he's proved them wrong, just like he will on Sunday. While he knows that the odds are against him, it's nothing that he isn't familiar with.

Just then, Bryan tells Lillian Garcia to declare him the winner of tonight's advertised main event via forfeit. Garcia does as she is told before Bryan begins excessively celebrating in the ring. However, Smackdown! GM Teddy Long comes out and tells Bryan that it's too early to celebrate because while Orton can't compete, Sheamus is more than happy to be here tonight. Sheamus' music hits and the crowd erupts.

Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus

In the ring, Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus officially begins. Sheamus starts out with a heavy shoulder block, following up with clothesline that sends Bryan down.

Bryan seems to be getting something going but is tied up in the ropes and Sheamus hammers with with vicious shots.

Having had enough, Bryan seems intent on grabbing his title and heading to the locker room. However, Sheamus cuts him off and clotheslines him outside of the ring. Bryan is then rolled back into the ring and before Sheamus can get back in, he's hit with a flying knee by Bryan, which leaves him barely able to beat the count. As Sheamus crawls back in, Bryan brutally kicks Sheamus in the chest. Sheamus gets back up and is drop-kicked hard, sending him back to the ring apron. After Sheamus tries fighting Bryan off with a few strikes, then lands a forearm before delivering a power slam, nearly getting the win. After failing to hit a back-breaker, Bryan goes for the LeBell Lock, but Sheamus reverses that into position for a Celtic Cross. However, Bryan slides out of the hold and they begin trading blows, forcing the referee to pull them apart. Bryan then begins egging Sheamus on, then spitting in Sheamus' face. Sheamus, now completely enraged, begins to tear into Bryan, forcing the referee to call a hault to the action, giving Bryan the win via disqualification.

Winner: Daniel Bryan via disqualification

In the back, Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett head into Teddy Long's office and are eager to find out which superstar is taking Randy Orton's place in the Elimination Chamber. Teddy, however, has yet to figure it out. Teddy then says that anyone there has a chance, including men from Raw, Smackdown!, Superstars and NXT as well. Cody seems to laugh off the assumption that a lesser known superstar could be in the match.
