Welcome to 411’s WWE Smackdown Report 3.21.14

Match times are not exact.

The show starts off with Kane talky time. Kane said that Monday Night Raw was a glorious night, because it was the night that the YES movement was ended. (We see video of the Triple H beat down on Bryan from Raw) Kane then explained how Bryan had it coming, but that it was the fans who were really to blame, because they kept motivating Bryan. It was the fans that made Bryan believe that he was something he wasn’t; Bryan believed that he was bigger than the Authority because of the fans, but no one is bigger than the Authority. Kane says that some people are simply better than others; the Authority is better than Bryan and all of the fans. Kane then read a letter from Triple H, noting that he regrets having to taking matters into his own hands in regards to disciplining Bryan and also regrets that he was pushed into doing it. He doesn’t like to use force, but sometimes you have to use force, and he struck with vengeance. There has to be respect for the Authority. He then thanked the fans and welcomed them to Smackdown.
