Before challenging Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan battled Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown, but Cesaro interfered by attacking The “Yes!” Man to give Bryan the disqualification win.
After disposing of Drew Gulak, Cesaro, Nakamura and Sami launched a three-on-one assault on Bryan, hitting the Kinshasa, the Neutralizer and the Helluva Kick just before Bryan’s title fight against Zayn at The Showcase of the Immortals.
