Bray Wyatt backstage

Wyatt said he is not like us, and he is what our parents hid us from.

He said that, after what transpires next, it will be hard for us to ever smile again.

Kane vs. Daniel Bryan in a Casket Match

Kane was dominant from the very beginning, and he frequently tried to get Bryan inside of the casket, but he consistently failed. The closes he came, was when he had Bryan laying in the casket, but Bryan was able to hold the casket open with his legs.

Bryan finally got his comeback going, hitting the backflip off the turnbuckle and the Yes Kicks, before sending Kane over the top rope, and landing a suicide dive.

On the outside, Bryan kept up the advantage, until Kane pulled out a counter, and started to utilize a chair.

Kane threw Bryan in the casket and almost had the lid closed, but Bryan stopped it again, this time, pulling Kane into the casket with him, and putting on a unique Yes Lock.

Both men hung around the casket, trading places multiple times, until Bryan had Kane laying on the middle rope, and he hit a running knee, knocking him into the casket, allowing him to slam it shut.

After the match, Bryan stood atop the casket, leading the crowd in a “Yes” chant.

3 out of 5 stars – This match was definitely a bit too long, and the beginning was brutal. However, the ending was a lot of fun, even if it was slightly overbooked.
