"The opening segment, you see the cars pull up. You see Will Ospreay's car pull up. He do a walk. You see Bryan Danielson's car pull up and they do a walk. Then you go into the show. Then later on, you have Bryan Danielson walk into the ring to address his victory, and who does he pass on the way that he shakes his hand? Will Ospreay. It's called giving him the rub. You say, 'When I'm gone, you're gonna hold this title for a long time,'" Henry stated. [H/T WrestlingINC]
