will become the #1 contender for the WWE Championship.
The Miz's music hits, and he makes his way down the entrance ramp with his
"employee," Alex Riley. Miz says that Daniel Bryan challenged Riley and himself
to a tag team match. Bryan is someone who believes that just because he won the
lottery once, he now thinks that he will win every time. Miz begins to deliver
his "Awesome" catchphrase, but Daniel Bryan's music hits.
Bryan comes down to the ring with Ride of the Valkyries playing as his
accompaniment. If you missed it last week, that really is his theme. Bryan

from Stone Cold stunning Vince McMahon on RAW to Edge talking on a computer".

he will just ask Jericho for the GM's identity. The computer says that Jericho
is bluffing. Plus the GM knows the identity of Edge's opponent tonight. Edge
