R-Truth ambushed “The New” Daniel Bryan to kick off SmackDown LIVE

January 8, 2019

Daniel Bryan mocks the WWE Universe's consumerism: SmackDown LIVE, Jan. 8, 2019

Daniel Bryan commandeers the concession stands until R-Truth comes looking for retribution.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — WWE Champion “The New” Daniel Bryan kicked off SmackDown LIVE in the concourse of Jacksonville’s Veterans Memorial Arena, insulting the WWE Universe (going as far as pelting them with food and drinks) as well as his Royal Rumble opponent, AJ Styles. However, Bryan’s tirade was cut short when R-Truth popped up out of nowhere to get retribution on the WWE Champion after Bryan assaulted him on Christmas night. Truth was quickly separated from The Beard, but he wouldn’t have to wait long to get his hands on Bryan, as they had a scheduled match … and it was next!
