John Cena: "It is early on the west coast, but you all are rowdy tonight. And I actually agree with all of you, I am absolutely disgusted at what happened last night at SummerSlam. ["Cena sucks! Cena sucks!"] Thank you for a warm Anaheim welcome. I just wanted to say that when I was WWE champion, time and time again I said the next person to hold that championship would earn it, and last night at SummerSlam Daniel Bryan earned it. I wanna take a second to publicly thank Daniel Bryan for bringing out the best in me, for reminding me that a WWE superstar should not be judged on race, creed or appearance. A WWE superstar should simply be judged by their commitment to excellence in this very ring. Now as we all do and you all know, Daniel and I, we don't see eye to eye a lot, but we both share the same passion in this very ring. That's why I chose him for the match at SummerSlam, that's also why I competed the match at SummerSlam when I was told time and time again not to. This is the first time I'm publicly saying this, but two weeks ago WWE medical-- the WWE medical staff told me that this giant ball of fluid on my elbow was the result of a torn tricep. They told me to go home immediately, get surgery and they would cancel the WWE championship match at SummerSlam. I refused. And I don't want you guys to misunderstand me here. I am not using this as an excuse. Last night I was defeated by a better man, in a clean fight. But that's all I wanted. I wanted a clean fight. And last night when I was in the training room with ice on my arm and a steak on my eye, thank you, Daniel, very much, some yoko ran in and said 'did you see, did you see? Triple H just handed the WWE championship to Randy Orton'. I was disgusted. I was offended and I was disgraced. I cannot put off my surgery any longer, tonight I leave the WWE. ["Yes! Yes!"] I love you guys and I am gonna miss all this, I just want you to know. Tonight I leave for the next four to six months to try to get myself healthy. But before I go I wanna take a second to do something. I wanna introduce to you a man who most certainly has earned my respect. You know what? No, no. More importantly than that, a man who we all can agree has earned the right to be called champion. WWE Universe, I give to you Daniel Bryan."

[Daniel Bryan kommt zum Ring. Cena verlässt ihn.]

["Daniel Bryan! Daniel Bryan!"]

[Bevor Bryan etwas sagen kann, wird er von Stephanie McMahon unterbrochen, die ebenfalls in den Ring kommt.]

Stephanie McMahon: "Daniel, I just wanna say I'm sorry. I am, I'm sorry. I mean, last night you had such a hard-fought victory. I mean, you won the WWE championship clean in the middle of the ring and you deserved it. And you did not deserve to have your dream just snatched away from you like that. But I hope you understand that, well, my husband Triple H, he was, he's the COO of the company and he was just doing what was best for business."

Daniel Bryan: "Best for business."

Stephanie McMahon: "Yes."

["No! No!"]

Daniel Bryan: "It seems like some people here have a disagreement as far as what's best for business. Okay? I expect that from you, I expect that from your father, but Triple H, he was a rebel, he was a renegade, he was the leader of D-Generation X. But now he's wearin' a suit, he's got a corporate haircut, and I guess-- I guess what they say is true. When you lie down with trash, sooner or later you start to stink."

Stephanie McMahon: "Well, Daniel, you're upset, clearly, and I understand why, so I'm gonna let that slide."

Daniel Bryan: "Oh, you're gonna let it slide. Ladies and gentlemen, three cheers for Stephanie, she's gonna let it slide! Let's hear it for her! Oh, that's great, that's wonderful. 'Cause what are you gonna do, fire me? Huh? 'Cause I will go back to wrestling in armories, I will go back to selling T-shirts out of my car, I am not afraid of being fired. Wait! But before I leave, I'm going to get my money's worth. Okay? And I don't care if it's your snake husband, or whether it's Randy Orton. I will really, really, really, really give you a reason to fire me."

Stephanie McMahon: "Daniel, nobody wants to fire you. I mean, you're all worked up, your anger management issues are, they're clearly messing with your-- with your mind. I mean, Triple H has said all along, as have I, you're very valued here. You're incredibly talented. I mean, you're the ultimate underdog, you're a part of the very fabric of the WWE. But I need to manage your expectations, Daniel, and these people don't understand business either, I mean, not everyone can be the face of the company. Not everyone can be WWE championship material. I mean, really, Daniel, you're like what? 5'8"? Maybe 200 pounds? And well, we can't all be supermodels, okay, but you know, the WWE Universe, they clearly love you. And hey, I mean, you have a place here. Daniel, you might not be an A, but you are a B plus. Solid B plus."

Daniel Bryan: "Funny, uh, because you're starting to remind me of a word that starts with the letter B right now. But I know you're just out here to rationalize your husband's behavior, that's your job, okay? But I don't have to accept it, I don't have to be relegated to bein' a B plus, okay? I don't just have to look you in the eye and move on and just say 'okay, I'll just be in the middle of the car'. I don't have to do any of that! I can be WWE champion and I don't care what you think!"

Stephanie McMahon: "I suggest you calm-- [Daniel Bryan schlägt ihr das Mikro aus der Hand. Sie besorgt sich ein neues.] Daniel, you need to calm down. Now I refuse to be intimidated by the likes of you. You're being unprofessional and uncouth and I won't accept it. I won't stand for it. Security! Security! [Security kommt in die Halle.] You're forcing my hand, Daniel, this is nothin' I want to do. Please escort this man from the building. This is a result of your actions, Daniel. You have no one to blame but yourself."

["Daniel Bryan! Daniel Bryan!"]

[Während er nach draußen begleitet wird, startet Bryan noch einen No!-Chant.]
