Cesaro and Daniel Bryan came out on SmackDown to hear Roman Reigns' answer.

Cesaro took the mic and said that if Roman would not come down, he and Bryan will get an answer out of the WWE Universal Champion by meeting him backstage.

Roman Reigns' music hit at this point and he came out flanked by Jey Uso and Paul Heyman.

Reigns was surprised at Cesaro having the audacity to challenge him. He said that The Swiss Cyborg hadn't earned or deserved the right to challenge him before adding that it was the Universal Champion who makes the call.

Reigns turned away from Cesaro and challenged Daniel Byran instead for a match on next week's SmackDown. He said that he did not like DB and this would be his last title opportunity.

Cesaro insisted that Daniel Bryan should accept the challenge. Reigns added that when Bryan lost, he didn't want to see his face on SmackDown ever again. Needless to say, Daniel Bryan accepted the challenge.
