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

A video recaps the events from this past Monday’s RAW. Daniel Bryan led an “Occupy RAW” movement in the ring. About a hundred people in “YES!” t-shirts got in the ring and surrounded it. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon tried to ignore it, but they wouldn’t leave the ring. They tried to send Damien Sandow out to start a match, but he wouldn’t get in the ring. Finally, Triple H acquiesced and agreed to have a match against Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania XXX. Bryan said that wasn’t all he wanted. If he beats Triple H, then he gets inserted into the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match later that night. Triple H had to be restrained by security before angrily agreeing to the stipulation.

The Smackdown video plays, and we’re brought into the arena. Michael Cole and JBL welcome us to the show.

Lilian Garcia asks the crowd to welcome the WWE COO Triple H to the ring. Triple H gets in the ring and goes to speak, but a “YES!” chant breaks out. Triple H looks around the arena, and he says that must feel good. He’s sure they had one of the greatest nights of their lives on Monday night. Daniel Bryan had the greatest moment of his career. Triple H is happy that they’ve had their moment in the sun. However, he is here to inform that because of them Daniel Bryan is not here tonight. Triple H says he’ll deal with Daniel Bryan at Monday Night RAW, and he’ll end all of this at WrestleMania. This leads him to the people. He’s happy they had their moment. Judging by the sound and the look of it, had all of them been there at Memphis for the Occupy RAW movement, they’d have loved to have gotten in the ring and participated. Triple H says they traded in all of their happy tomorrows for Monday Night RAW. Now, he’s going to end the YES Movement.

Triple H says the YES Movement could have continued to grow like it had since Summerslam, the place he started protecting Daniel Bryan. He protected Bryan at Summerslam for all of the people. If Bryan had succeeded, he’d have been dumped into the deep end with the sharks of this industry where he immediately would have been devoured. He protected Bryan to give the people hope and let them have a dream. That is what Bryan and the YES Movement represents: hope. Hope for all of the people and their pathetic lives. A “Daniel Bryan” chant breaks out. Triple H says he’s been protecting their hopes and dreams by protecting Bryan, but at the end of the day, Bryan is exactly like them. They dream of succeeding, but like the people, Bryan is just not good enough to succeed. At WrestleMania, he will now crush their hopes and dreams. At WrestleMania, he will put an end to this little YES Movement. He will end Daniel Bryan. There will be no triple threat. There is no pot of gold or fairytale. There is no happily ever after. At WrestleMania, he puts an end to the peoples’ dreams, and he buries Daniel Bryan.

The show goes on, so without further adieu, here is the first competitor for tonight. Coincidentally, this man was part of the Occupy RAW movement on Monday. Here is Damien Sandow.

Sandow makes his way to the ring and approaches Triple H. Triple H asks Sandow to refrain from his “verbose justification.” Triple H then mentions for the uninformed that he told Sandow to “shut up.” Triple H wants to play out a little scenario. The boss tells his talent to do his job. The talent then refuses to do his job. It doesn’t take a Mensa candidate to figure out that there would be some serious and devastating repercussions from the boss to said talent, unless that talent could look him in the eye and apologize. Maybe they could put this behind them. Sandow says he does apologize, and it won’t happen again. Triple H says he’s happy they could come to this accord. No harm, no foul. Vickie Guerrero told him that Sandow would be competing first tonight. She didn’t say against whom, but he wanted to wish Sandow luck anyway.

Triple H goes to leave the ring and then stops. The Shield’s music then hits, and Triple H then leaves the ring. The Shield comes in through the crowd as Michael Cole complains that Triple H influenced this matchup. Sandow will face a member of The Shield, next.

#BNB Segment

Bad News Barrett’s podium rises high above the people in Little Rock. Barrett says the Undertaker is 21-0 at WrestleMania, and they can agree that it is an incredible achievement, but he’s afraid he’s got some bad news. The streak is going to come to an end at WrestleMania XXX, and their children will be up all night in tears. As a result, they won’t get any sleep, and they’ll go to work the next day exhausted. The chances are they’ll fall asleep in the middle of an important meeting. Subsequently, you will be fired.
