WWE World Tag Team Champions: Kane & Daniel Bryan


Reminder, I do not rate matches that are under three minutes long…

-The show kicked off with Edge making his return to the WWE. He discussed his retirement, plugged Haven, which just happens to air right after Smackdown, and then said he had started watching WWE as a fan again. He noted that he had never saw anything like the Kane and Daniel Bryan hug. He also had not clue how they became the tag team champions.

Daniel Bryan then came out, and noted that THEY were not the tag team champions, but HE was the tag team champions. Bryan kept taking, and Edge excuse me, and Bryan replied that they shouldn’t talk about his ex-wife. Bryan told him to go back to acting and retirement, because there was nothing he could do to make Bryan snap. Edge said his intention wasn’t to make him snap, and they then got into a YES-NO-YES-NO battle.

Kane’s music then hit, and he and Bryan argue over who were the tag team champions. Edge broke it up, and both told Edge to take it easy, that he looked angry. Edge was confused about Kane being like Barney instead of the Big Red Machine. Edge brought up their history and asked if he remembered killing Paul and all of that fun stuff. Kane said he remembered, and as Edge took off his jacket expecting as fight, Kane opened his arms for a hug. Edge gave him a cautious hug, and Bryan went insane, yelling NO, NO, NO again. Edge then tried to make it all right with a group hug, including Bryan this time. That seemed to make Bryan happy, but then…

Damien Sandow came out. He called the whole thing an abomination, and Edge cut him off saying he could watch Bryan and Kane hug it out all show, but thirty seconds of Sandow was making him sick. Edge invited Sandow to the ring, which led to Kane and Bryan arguing over who would get to fight him.

-Bryan is happy with himself, and walks away with both of the titles, yelling that HE is the tag team champions.

-Kane is backstage, pissed off, and searching for Daniel Bryan. Kane finds Dr. Shelby instead, and then says he will tear the beard off Bryan’s goat face if he didn’t give his title back. Bryan comes out of nowhere (from a prop box) at the goat face mention, and Dr. Shelby looked upset as they argued. He then calmed down and stated that they had made progress and that they could solve this with a trust exercise. Kane promised not to rip off Bryan’s beard if he gave back the title. Bryan returned the title. Kane still said they had a problem, because Bryan cost him his match. Kane ends up saying he would feel better if Bryan also competed tonight, and said HE was the tag team champions, and left.

-Alberto Del Rio is in Booker’s office. He called Booker a coward for reinstating the Brogue kick, and said that he made him lose his world title match. Booker said the move was dangerous but legal, and if Del Rio didn’t want to get hurt, maybe he should get out of Sheamus’ business. Booker did add that he felt badly about reinstating it right before the match, but he wasn’t just giving Del Rio another chance, he had to earn it. Booker made Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus and Randy Orton for later tonight.
