Triple H says he wants to clear up some confusion from last week. Triple H reminds everyone that last week they said that if Daniel Bryan beat Randy Orton, that the Authority would reconsider him to be Face Of The Company. Triple H says the keyword is reconsider.
Triple H mentions that they’re also considering Antonio Cesaro, #ScumbagSheamus, Christian and John Cena. Triple H is cut off by Randy Orton’s music.
Stephanie McMahon scolds Randy Orton for interrupting them again, especially when they’re talking about the new face of the WWE. Stephanie tells Orton that he needs to go to the back and prepare for his match against John Cena. Orton tells Stephanie McMahon that he’s out here to apologize to The Authority for being chlildish and foolish. Orton says that he needs to give The Authority what they want, and what he wants, and that’s to bring the Viper for the remainder of his Championship Reign.
Stephanie McMahon asks Randy Orton where this change of character is coming from and Orton responds that it’s coming from the heart.
Stephanie McMahon asks Randy Orton if he is feeling the pressure from the WWE Universe chanting Daniel Bryan. Orton says it’s not about that, it’s about 6 months ago, at the Staples Center, where Randy Orton stood united with The Authority as Face Of The WWE. Orton tells Stephanie that he wants to make good on that promise and be the Face of the WWE in and out of the ring. Orton wants to do all the media appearances and be on the cereal boxes. Orton calls himself the heart and soul of the WWE, and better than any of the other Superstars, especially Batista.
Randy Orton is cut off by Daniel Bryan.
Daniel Bryan calls Randy Out on calling himself the “heart and soul” of the WWE, then jokes that Randy Orton is a different body part entirely.
Stephanie McMahon says she’s tired of Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton interrupting the Authority. Stephanie says from now on, Superstars need to make an appointment with the Director Of Operations, Kane.
Daniel Bryan tells Stephanie McMahon that Kane is nowhere to be found, except for when he’s doing The Authority’s bidding, like when he came out during his match against Randy Orton last week. Bryan says Kane failed and Orton still defeated Randy Orton. Bryan tells Stephanie McMahon that he wants a match with Kane tonight, but Stephanie reminds Bryan that he attacked Kane first. Stephanie says that The Authority doesn’t condone Kane’s actions , so he’s on leave for one week, and he has an extremely strong letter of reprimand in his performance approval file.
Daniel Bryan mocks Stephanie McMahon’s punishment of Kane, then asks who is doing The Authority’s Performance Approval File. Bryan tells Stephanie that whoever is doing it needs to see that The Authority is a combination of ignorance (Stephanie) and stupidity (Triple H)
Randy Orton demands that Daniel Bryan show The Authority respect and not only should Bryan be honored to be in the same ring with them, he should kiss the ground that they walk on.
Daniel Bryan claims that Randy Orton REALLY likes Stephanie McMahon, then reminds Orton of handcuffing Triple H to the ropes while Orton kissed Stephanie.
Randy Orton asks to punt Daniel Bryan’s head off, but Triple H says that won’t be necessary. Triple H decides to do what’s “Best For Business” and put Daniel Bryan in a match with no one. Triple H gives Bryan the night off. The WWE Universe boos.
Daniel Bryan starts chanting “NO!” with the WWE Universe.
