We start off with a look back at Daniel Bryan standing up to authority on Raw.
We are in Little Rock, Arkansas and your announcers are Michael ‘Is today the Rock’s favorite day of the year’ Cole and John ‘Clinton Country’ Layfield.
Triple H makes his way to the ring. Michael Cole mentions that Hunter did not appear for his weekly WWE.com interview but he will address the people tonight.
Hunter says that the Yes chants must feel good because he thinks the people had the greatest night of their lives on Monday. He says that Daniel Bryan had the greatest moment in his career on Monday. He tells everyone that their moment in the sun has caused Daniel Bryan not to be here tonight. Hunter says that he will deal with Daniel on Raw and he will end this at Wrestlemania.

He is sure that judging by the sound and look of it, if everyone was in Memphis, they would have loved to have jumped in the ring and participate. Hunter says that he is happy that everyone had their fifteen minutes of happiness. All of your happy tomorrows will lead to the end of the Yes Movement.
Hunter says the Yes Movement could have continued to grow, like it did since SummerSlam when Hunter says he started protecting Daniel Bryan. He protected Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam for everyone. If Daniel Bryan succeeded, he would have been dumped into the deep end where the sharks in the industry would have devoured him.
Hunter wanted to give everyone a dream and to have hope. Hope for all of you and your pathetic lives.
The crowd chants for Daniel and Hunter says that he has been has protecting your hope and your dream by protecting Daniel Bryan. Daniel is like all of you. You hope the underdog will succeed. Daniel is just not good enough to succeed.
At Wrestlemania, he now crushes your hope and your dream. At Wrestlemania, he will put an end to the Yes Movement. He will put an end to Daniel Bryan. There will be no Triple Threat. There will be no pot of gold. There will be no fairy tale. There will be no happily ever after. He puts an end to your dreams and he buries Daniel Bryan.
