We got a flashback to Payback that showed all the major hits from the show. The Narrator spoke over the footage to say that Payback comes in many forms and stages. The Narrator then questioned what lies ahead for all the superstars who competed on the show. Cole welcomed us to the arena and Daniel Bryan made his ring entrance. He didn’t seem much worse for wear from Monday, or at least it wasn’t immediately apparent.
The crowd started a Yes Chant, and Bryan soaked it up for a few seconds. He said on Monday, something happened to him that had never happened before. He said he had never in his career had a match stopped for a medical reason. He said he told the doctors on Monday he wanted to continue, but officials and doctors disagreed. Bryan went on to say that the doctors said they did it for his health, but he believed they did it because they thought he was the weak link.
He said worst of all, Orton was to blame. They then showed a clip of the match from Monday and the doctor stoppage, as well as the post-match stuff between Orton and Bryan. Bryan said that rather than disagreeing with officials and raging against the machine, but instead he picked him up and patted him on the head like he was his little brother or a little dog. He then said that he saw nothing but pity in his eyes, and tonight he didn’t care what anybody thought, because he would beat Orton tonight. He then started a yes chant, but Orton interrupted it.

Orton had an exasperated look on his face as he got to the ring. He shook his head and said “Dan, you got it all wrong.” He claimed he and others were concerned for his wellbeing. He kept coming and coming no matter what, and he said it made him respect him even more. Orton claimed he picked him up and put his arm around him because of respect. Bryan rejected everything he said and told him he saw no respect in his eyes, just pity. He said he knew he thought he was the weak link, and he said so on Monday.
Bryan said he would take all his pity and shove it down his throat. Orton said he was way out of line. He said tonight he was going to hurt it, and when the refs stopped their match later tonight, he wouldn’t be walking out of the arena. Orton then told him to respect that, and walked up the ramp.
