This week opens with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and RAW General Manager Brad Maddox, as Vince ordered Maddox to apologize for allowing WWE Champion John Cena to choose his opponent for Summerslam. Vince then asked Maddox why he labeled Daniel Bryan a troll, and why he felt that he doesn’t have what it takes to win the title. Daniel appeared and stated that it was Vince who made those statements. Vince asked if he respects Cena and he said yes. Daniel asked Vince if he respects him and everything he’s done for WWE.
Vince told Daniel that he lacks the one thing Cena has: RUTHLESS AGGRESSION. Vince labeled him a “half-pint troll”, and stated that if he wins the WWE Championship, it would be the biggest embarrassment to the company. Daniel told him that the one thing that he likes about him is his honest, and that it really doesn’t matter what he thinks. He mentioned that it’s what the fans think, and he asked them “Do you want a new WWE Champion?”, and the fans responded with a big resounding YES!!!
