As Daniel Bryan and The Miz battle in the ring, the Universal Champion emerges from the darkness to give his Survivor Series opponent a glimpse of what awaits.

Daniel Bryan came to SmackDown to summon Universal Champion “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt just two days before their title clash at WWE’s Fall Classic. Bryan indeed was met by Wyatt, but not in the way he intended and not without a detour.

The Miz, who traded some harsh words with Bryan last week during “Miz TV” in an exchange that seemed to rekindle their hostile rivalry, hit the scene to challenge Bryan to a match just after The Beard called Wyatt to the squared circle. The A-Lister attempted to prey on a vulnerable Bryan, who was furious that Wyatt was seemingly not answering his summoning. Miz even slapped Bryan across the face, leading to an unscheduled match.

The two couldn’t settle their longstanding differences, however, as “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt soon appeared just as it seemed Bryan was ready to reignite the “YES!” Movement. Wyatt wrecked Bryan with the Mandible Claw, making a clear, intense statement ahead of his first title defense this Sunday.
