"Daniel, I'm ashamed of you."

Daniel Bryan: "There is a lot of things I'd like to say right now. But I think what says it best... is YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!"

[Triple Hs Musik unterbricht Bryans Jubel abrupt.]

Triple H: "Before you go down too far the road of congratulating yourself on becoming WWE champion, Daniel; I would like to address the 800 pound gorilla that is sitting in the room, and that is the fast count from last night. It's what social media is talking about, it's what they're talking about, it's what talent are talking about... Daniel, that victory is tainted as of this moment, and I would like to get to the bottom of that. So I would like to bring Scott Armstrong, the official from last night, out here right now."

[Scott Armstrong begibt sich unter lauten "No!"-Chants zum Ring.]

"Well Scott, thank you for coming out here. I would like to get to the bottom of what happened last night. First I'd like to take a look at some footage. We're gonna look at the footage of last, the end of last night's WWE championship match. But before we do, I'd like to show some footage right now that shows, Scott, your normal cadence in a WWE championship match, you're normal count. If we could, please."

[Auf der Leinwand wird ein Two Count aus dem WWE Championship Match zwischen Bryan und Randy Orton bei Night Of Champions 2013 vom Vorabend gezeigt. Triple H zählt mit.]

"One..... two..... that is your normal cadence, Scott, is it not? Let's take a look at it one more time, just to be clear."

[Ein anderer Two Count aus demselben Match wird gezeigt. Triple H zählt erneut mit.]

"One..... two..... that is your normal cadence for a three count, is it not?"

[Scott Armstrong nickt bestätigend.]

"I would now like to take a look at the footage from the finish of last night's WWE championship match, the final call of you will. If we could roll that, please."

[Die entsprechende Szene wird gezeigt. Triple H zählt mit, und die erhöhte Zählgeschwindigkeit ist nicht zu übersehen.]

"One.. two.. Hold on! Can we please just look at that one more time, please? I would like to see that again."

[Die Szene wird wiederholt.]

"One.. two.. three! Now, for those who cannot discern the difference I would like to be absolutely clear. If we could see them side by side, please. Now, the questionable three count is on the left, your normal cadence is on the right. If we could roll the footage."

[Der erste Two Count und der Three Count werden parallel abgespielt. Der Three Count ist im Vergleich deutlich schneller.]

"So in the amount of time that it took you in a normal cadence to count to two you made a three count last night. Scott, that was an incredibly fast count. How do you explain this?"

Scott Armstrong: "It was a fast count. I don't know."

Triple H: "'It was a fast count. I don't know.' That's your reason. 'I don't know.'"

Scott Armstrong: "I made a mistake."

Triple H: "Scott, you are a senior official of the WWE, right? That kind of fast count does not just happen. How do you explain how that happened?"

Scott Armstrong: "I made a mistake."

Triple H: "'I made a mistake.' Scott... I have known you for fifteen years, right? I've never seen you make a mistake like that. I've have never seen you make that kind of mistake and if you've ever done anything you've always fessed up to it and I, I have the feeling right now that you're not telling me everything, Scott. What do you, what do you do... tell me the truth, come one! Get it out!"

[Armstrong sagt etwas abseits des Mikrofons zu Bryan.]

"Ho-hold on a second. What did you do, did you just say 'They've got us, Daniel'? 'They're unto us'? Us? This changes everything. Scott, I will deal with you later. If you could please go to the back right now, please. Thank you very much for your time!"

[Daniel Bryan protestiert bereits und sieht dem sich entfernden Ringrichter fassungslos hinterher.]

"Daniel... Daniel, I'm ashamed of you. You have embarassed yourself, you have embarassed the WWE. You entered into a conspiracy with a WWE official to ensure a fast count so you could become WWE champion?

[Bryan protestiert weiterhin laustark.]

"Daniel... now you're gonna lie about it? Daniel, I have... you leave me no choice. As of this moment, I am holding the WWE championship in abeyance. I... I am not... I am not going to return the championship to Randy Orton, but Daniel Bryan, as of this moment, you are no longer the WWE champion."

[Bryan gerät in Rage und wiederholt mehrfach, dass Armstrong während des Matches ausgeknockt wurde.]

"I understand you're upset, I will investigate this further, and possibly there might be a rematch in the future. But as of right now, there is no WWE champion. And Daniel, I need you to do the right thing. Since you are no longer champion I need you to hand over the WWE championship belt to me."

[Das Publikum protestiert mittlerweile ebenfalls, und Bryan weigert sich, den Gürtel zu übergebe.]

"Daniel, I speak to you like a man. You have embarassed yourself, you've disgraced yourself, you've disgraced the WWE championship, you've disgraced your family... I would have thought Shawn taught you better than this. Daniel, you are no longer the WWE champion. Hand over to me the WWE championship belt, or I will take it from you!"

[Während Bryan sich weiterhin weigert und das Publikum in "No!"-Sprechchöre verfällt, ertönt Randy Ortons Musik. Der entthronte WWE Champion begibt sich zum Ring. Doch Hunter stoppt ihn, bevor er und Bryan aufeinander losgehen.]

"Randy, calm down! Calm down! I have got this. Daniel, calm down! There is not gonna be any fight here. I have got this. Daniel, look at me! Be reasonable here! You are no longer the WWE champion. The title is held up, there is no champion. I will get to the bottom of this, but in the meantime, you need to hand over that WWE championship belt to me, Daniel. Or, I promise you, I will take it from you."

[Bryan sieht sich den Gürtel an und schließt die Augen. Das Publikum wiederholt seine "No!"-Chants, und Bryan sieht sich um. Dann schleudert auch er Hunter ein "No!" entgegen. Als dieser nach dem Titel greift, verpasst Orton seinem Widersacher einen RKO. Triple H verlässt den Ring, während Orton auf den geschlagenen Bryan herab sieht.]
