Daniel Bryan opened the show. He said he called the people sheep last week and that he'd like to apologize...to the sheep because sheep don't harm the environment and leave a carbon footprint. He compared them to parasites instead. The crowd started chanting "Daniel sucks!"
Daniel Bryan was interrupted by 205 Live's Mustafa Ali. He introduced himself for a second and Bryan said "I know who you are. These idiots might not, but I know". Bryan praised Ali and says that he sees a lot of himself in Ali. He even told the Heart of 205 Live that they didn't even need to have a match.
He added that after their match, the people won't care, because too self-absorbed, too xenophobic are greedy consumers. Ali simply responded by asking what happened to him.
