A few minutes later arriving at the locker room Mike, open the door allowing Kayla to walks in first and then he walked into the room. The door closes behind him and they began preparing for SmackDown Live.

Later on in the evening WWE, SmackDown live opens with a graphic in memory of WWE Hall of Famer Bruno Sammartino. As the fans, are chanting, "Bruno" in the arena. A live shot inside the KFC Yum! Center, as Tom Phillips welcomes the fans who are watching on the USA Network. He is always joining Corey Graves and Byron Saxton.

Kayla sends the fans right to the stage as the music of her husband The Miz hits. She gives him a kiss and out he goes for his blue brand returns. He makes his way to the ring and then enters the ring and picks up the mic and is met with some heat especially from Bryan's fans. He reminds the Bryan fans to shut their mouths when his hand goes up. He goes on and declares that The A-Lister is back on SmackDown Live, making it the A show once again.

Miz says, "The one thing is missing – a title."

He goes on and says, "He will win back the WWE Intercontinental Title at the Greatest Royal Rumble event on Friday in Saudi Arabia."

He says, "He will beat Champion Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe and Finn Balor to bring the title back to SmackDown Live."

Miz brags about elevating the title and says, "That's 3 days, but tonight is now, and this is what the World has been waiting for."

He says, "I have nothing against my brother in law Shane McMahon he wasn't involved in getting me back from RAW it was Paige and that goat face, who still holds a grudge from Talking Smack. I should be chasing titles not wrestling Bryan who is not in my league right now."

Miz goes on about Bryan and him about to become a daddy again in five months when my lovely wife Kayla McMahon gives birth to our third child. The fans chant "Mrs. Awesome," now. Miz smiles and lets those chants for her. He goes on and brings up Bryan's twitter threat on punching him tonight.

He says, "I have some bad news for Bryan he touches me there will be no matches with me because my wife issues an edict." The fans chant "Mrs. Awesome" again.

He goes on and then introduces tonight's guest, Daniel Bryan the music hits and his fans cheers but he never comes out. His music stop and then the music hits and out goes Big Cass instead. Miz looks a little surprised to see Big Cass. He makes his way to the ring and then climbs the steps to the apron of the ring and step over the top rope entering the ring.

Miz asks Cass if he can help him.

Cass says, "It looks like Miz need a guest, so that's why he's out here."

Miz looks at him and says, "He was supposed to interview Bryan," Cass says, "No, one give a damn about Bryan."

The Bryan fans boo him and Cass talks about how hard he worked to return from his injury but who else was cleared on the same day he was cleared. Daniel Bryan. All he's hears from the WWE Universe is Daniel Bryan this, Daniel Bryan that and no one was talking about Big Cass.

Cass says, "He's been bringing in the shadow of an ordinary little man." Miz and Cass have words before they face off in the middle of the ring. Cass looking down at the Miz.

Miz says, "This isn't about them, this about the Daniel Bryan of the…."

Cass cuts Miz off and talk's trash about Bryan and his look. He goes on about the fans and how they will never live their dreams because of they are a bunch of Joe Schmoes. Cass talks about how he was once like Bryan but he got tired of it and grew to be 7 feet tall. He then went back and got payback from everyone who pushed him around before.

Cass goes on and says, "He despise, Bryan. Now here he is in the WWE and he didn't have to work Bingo Halls or Japan or Indies around the world. He's here because he's tall, educated and good-looking. That makes him a valuable that make him a star that makes him money."

He says, "He won't be living in Bryan's shadow for much longer because he's going to send Bryan back to where he belongs - on the shelf…. beaten and retired."

He says, "Bryan will never cast another shadow over him or anyone else ever again."

Cass mocks the "Yes!" chant and drops the mic as his music hits. Cass leaves the ring as Miz look on.
