Daniel Bryan emerged to sign the contract and make his Universal Championship Strap Match against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at Royal Rumble official. In that match, a strap will be tied to a wrist on the challenger and a wrist on the champion for the entire contest and the winner will only be decided by pin-fall or submission.
However, instead of coming to the ring to sign the contract, a sweater-clad Wyatt appeared in the Firefly Fun House, trying unsuccessfully to fax the contract at the advice of his attorney, Mercy the Buzzard.
As Bryan & Wyatt engaged in a war of words, Bryan wrapped the strap around him, anticipating his showdown with the monstrous titleholder at Sunday’s Royal Rumble.
Finally, Wyatt insisted that the “The Fiend,” and not him, should be the one to sign the contract since he will be competing in the match.
After the lights changed, the monstrous titleholder appeared in the ring holding the other end of Bryan’s strap. After unleashing the Mandible Claw and Sister Abigail and relentlessly using the strap against WWE’s “Yes!” Man, “The Fiend” stabbed himself though the hand several times and signed the contract in his own blood.
