The show begins with a recap of Night of Champions and the Monday Night Raw that followed it. Vickie Guerrero is in the ring to open, but is greeted with a chorus of boos. As General Manager, she says she needs to make the show more thrilling along with the best ever. She announces that she’s here to introduce someone, and that someone is none other than Daniel Bryan. Bryan begins to speak saying that he would much be champion for one day rather than be a corporate sellout. Vickie says she is his boss and gives Bryan the opportunity to come clean. Bryan states that they both know he did nothing wrong. Vickie demands the truth, and Bryan asks if she wants the truth then gives it to her. He says that the truth is that he kneed Orton in the face and that Scott Armstrong could have counted to 20. He says he should still be WWE Champion. Vickie says that she could have fired Bryan and that she hopes he never becomes the face of WWE. She goes on to state that Bryan deserves to be beaten up by The Shield, and then shows the crowd photos of all the superstars who helped Bryan on RAW. She goes on to announce that those ten superstars and Bryan will take on The Shield in an eleven on three gauntlet match.
