- Daniel Bryan comes out to a nice pop and is no longer wearing the neck brace. We see Jerry Lawler and JBL on commentary. The music stops and fans start chanting Bryan's name. A big "yes!" chant breaks out. Bryan jokingly tries to hush the crowd but they chant "no!" at him. Bryan says, "well ok" and gets a much louder "yes!" chant going. Bryan says he doesn't know when he's going to be back. He's got some "bad news" he jokes. He says the strength isn't coming back in his arm and doctors are talking about doing another surgery. Bryan said when he does come back, he will be better than ever. Cole asks how Bryan feels about someone winning the title tonight. Bryan would much rather be wrestling tonight but says he will win the title when he comes back. Cole has some fan questions now. Bryan brings up Cena, Orton and Reigns as possible winners. He says Reigns is incredible. He then talks about feeling disrespected when he got stripped of the title because they didn't even tell him. Bo Dallas' music interrupts and out he comes. He jokes that it must be a pain in the neck that Bryan can't compete tonight. Bo goes on and tells Bryan to Bo-lieve. Bryan says Bo is acting like a bo-ner. Fans chant "boner" now. Bryan tells Bo to bo-leave the ring. Bryan's music hits and fans chant "yes!" with him as Bo looks on with a confused look before leaving the ring. Bryan poses for the fans as they chant and we go back to Renee and the panel for a few last comments on tonight's show. That's it for the pre-show but before it ends, The Wyatt Family appears and Luke Harper tells The Usos that they're coming.
