Bryan excuses himself as he gets a phone call and heads to the ring.

Bryan calls Shane down to the ring as well. Bryan recalls when The Miz was constantly in Bryan’s face about not being able to wrestle, and how Shane told him that he couldn’t attack the talent for the fans, for the company, and for the locker room.
