Daniel Bryan was talking to Sami Zayn, who is trying to recruit him and make sure he stays away from a resurrected Yes Movement when the ominous red light appeared.

The Fiend would choke out Bryan with a Mandible Claw, laughing maniacally all the way through.

It is uncertain as to whether or not The Fiend will defend the Universal Championship at Survivor Series, Brock Lesnar will be defending the WWE Championship against Rey Mysterio. This is however in line with The Fiend's continued strategy of attacking men that Bray Wyatt has had with in the past.

Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt have personal issues that date back all the way to 2013, at one point, Daniel Bryan was even a member of the Wyatt family in early 2014, before turning on Bray after a Steel Cage Match against The Usos. All of this led to Bryan's great triumph at that year's WrestleMania, where he became WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
