...
Daniel retorts and says that Shane sometimes became hotheaded and lost sight of the bigger picture. Daniel adds that SmackDown should be a land of opportunity for everyone, not just people Shane liked.
...
Shane adds that when he had taken a moment to walk to the other side of the ring to collect himself, Daniel had helped Sami and KO win with a fast count. Daniel Bryan replied that he had done it to protect Shane from himself as chants of "Thank you Daniel" broke out.
...
Shane McMahon's music hits and he's come out to confront Daniel. Shane recalls the RKO from Randy Orton which almost had Sami Zayn pinned which would have led to KO and Sami to be fired.
