Christian is in the ring for the Peep Show. He shows a video of Daniel Bryan's engagement to AJ on Monday. Christian introduces the couple and they come to the ring in matching "YES!" shirts.
Christian asks how the wedding planning going and AJ says they have a clip. We see a clip of them doing various activities like rubbing cake in each other's faces and goofing off at a flower shop, in slow-motion set to wedding type music. Christian sarcastically says that it was wonderful. He asks Bryan if he's sure he's doing the ring thing and if AJ has forgiven him. We get a "Yes!" spot.
Christian then asks the fans if they think the couple should get married and if Bryan really loves her and the response is split at best. Christian asks AJ if she knows what she is doing at all.
