“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.

A video recaps the events of this past Monday’s RAW. Tension continued to build between Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns. Bryan distracted Reigns during his match against Kane, but Reigns still managed to win by count-out. Later in the night, Reigns cost Bryan his match by getting him disqualified against the Big Show. Reigns attacked Big Show due to being attacked moments before. Bryan and Reigns then got into a long brawl to end the show.

The Smackdown video plays, and we’re brought into the arena with a big pyrotechnics display. Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, and Jerry “The King” Lawler welcome us to the show.

Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz w/ Damien Mizdow

Mizdow chuckled, and Miz took exception to that. Miz says Bryan would have been a nobody without him just like Mizdow. Miz says he doesn’t like ringing a bell and making him shine his shoes, but he’s trying to teach him. Miz says if Mizdow breaks away from his supporting role, he’ll never work in this town again. Mizdow looked completely frustrated at the end of that.

Stardust is more than a persona. Stardust is a cancer that is eating his brother, Cody Rhodes, alive. Goldust wants his brother back.
