    We begin with a look at the United States Championship Match between Jeff Hardy and Shinsuke Nakamura.


    Jeff Hardy makes his way to the ring and he has something to say. He says he may look like Jeff Hardy and may make an entrance like Jeff Hardy. He says he may wear face paint like Jeff Hardy. He does not feel like Jeff Hardy. He says he feels incomplete. Jeff says his heart is broken because he is not US Champion anymore because of what Shinsuke Nakamura did to him. Nakamura showed that he lacks morality and honor.

    Jeff says that means that Nakamura is a no good low down jackass. Nakamura used a low blow because that was the only way that he could beat him. Jeff says he should not have continued but he wanted to get his hands on Nakamura. Tonight, his focus is clear. Jeff says he will make Nakamura fade away and classify himself as obsolete and win back his United States Title.

    We see Nakamura watching in the back and he is asked by Renee to comment on what Jeff said. Nakamura says that Jeff is a sad clown and he wears face paint to hide his tears. Nakamura says it is his title. He says that is a reason to smile. Tonight, he gives everyone a reason to smile by making a clown cry again. Nakamura says God Bless America.

    We are back and Miz makes his way to the ring very solemnly. A mannequin head with a Kane mask is rolled down the ramp to the ring. Miz puts the head on the table in the ring.

    Miz thanks everyone for being here tonight. Miz says he is as sad as everyone. Miz says we are not here to talk about the debut of Miz and Mrs., debuting next week. Miz is not here to talk about being the MVP of the Celebrity Softball Game at the All Star Game. Miz says it is not about him. We are here to talk about one of the best tag teams but two of the worst friends. In the words of Kane's favorite band, it is time to say Bye Bye Bye to Team Hell No.

    You had a yes and a no and they were able to become tag team champions. That didn't happen last night, but it did five years ago. Miz reminds everyone how Kane tried to end Daniel Bryan's career. Most would say that would be the end of the friendship, but Hell No. Bryan made the mistake of joining forces with Kane again. The embrace of the Grim Reaper is final and with Team Hell No six feet under, he would like everyone to stand up and have a moment of silence.

    Miz tells the people to show some respect for the Moment of Silence. Miz does not appreciate the response of the crowd. Miz says Yes chants might have been appropriate.

    Miz says I Told You So. Miz says he told you how this would end. He was in this ring and he said that Kane was a broken down demon and he was right. Miz says he was right about your bogus hero. Daniel was never a world beating wrestler. He is a glory hound obsessed with setting impossible goals to tug at your heart strings. Daniel threw one last hail mary pass to remain relevant. That is the reason for the sappy Team Hell No reunion. It was just to bring out his greatest hits.

    As sad as this whole thing has been, there is no one sadder than Daniel Bryan. Whether he can accept it or not, deep down inside, he knows that his return from injury is a bust. Every week, Daniel is hurting his legacy and no one else has the courage to tell him. Daniel will never main event Wrestlemania again and his career is dead.

    Daniel Bryan's music plays and he comes to the ring from behind and attacks Miz and the pallbearers. Bryan with a German suplex and Miz escapes the ring.

    Bryan with a flying knee.
