There was one person on SmackDown LIVE who wasn’t on board with Shane McMahon’s march through the Raw locker room: Daniel Bryan. Attempting to somewhat restore the peace before Survivor Series, the SmackDown General Manager snuck onto Team Red behind Shane’s back for a parlay with Kurt Angle that didn’t quite go the way he envisioned. Angle rejected Bryan’s olive branches and demanded he deliver a message to Shane on SmackDown: He’s bringing his gold medals and his roster to Survivor Series for payback.

The Olympic Hero offered his blue brand counterpart one act of kindness by insisting that Bryan stay in his office rather than risk walking through an arena filled with Raw Superstars who were hungry for payback. But even that ended up becoming a nightmare, as the lights cut out and Kane struck in the darkness, grabbing Bryan by the neck and subjecting him to an apparent Chokeslam as the illumination of Bryan's phone went out. When the lights returned, Bryan was being loaded onto a stretcher by a team of medics, who transported him to a local medical facility.
