01:03i think it's safe to say this casket match is finally going to put an end to the rivalry
01:10between daniel bryan and kane and you notice how daniel bryan is looking at the casket that's
01:15because daniel bryan has never been involved in a casket match in his career
01:19kane has been involved in a few including one against his half-brother the undertaker
01:27another against triple h
01:35yes
01:40and if you want to discuss this casket match on social media we urge you to use the hashtag
01:46people casket match i've made a picture for you you got a casket that's nearly eight feet long
01:54less than three feet wide you can barely roll to your left barely roll to your right barely sit up
01:59but one of these men will be enclosed in darkness at the end of this night so here we go no pinfalls
02:07no submissions no countouts no disqualifications as king mentioned the only win when you put your
02:13opponent in the casket and shut the lid incredible rivalry between these two men over the past
02:22couple of years remember king uh they were once good friends part of the tag team hell no tag
02:28team champions exactly right good friends often make bitter enemies that's been the case with
02:35these two cover by kane again no covering decided instead of rolling toward the casket

02:48and daniel bryan trying to fight his way out of this predicament he does close it get it away
02:54remember a couple of tombstone pile drivers from kane last year
02:59injured the neck of daniel bryan requiring surgery weren't sure if he was ever going to
03:02return to a wwe ring again that's fresh in the mind of kane he knows he was that close
03:08that close to putting at daniel bryan for good and he has a high potential

08:22ready scramble just scrambles out the other side well barely out though half his body still in you
08:28got to get out of there daniel get out of there he's trying to close the lid daniel
08:34bryan trying to prevent the lid from being closed on him my god it's desperation mode for daniel
08:40oh no it's going to close the lid's going to close on daniel
08:45bryan fighting back trying to fight out of this
08:47oh kick to the face but he's still in the casket get out of there
08:55and now he's not oh no
09:00my goodness bryan tried to rally cain wouldn't let it happen we continue live on smackdown
09:09and the man who lived his dream at wrestlemania last year daniel bryan and
09:13roiled in this matchup with cain here live on smackdown king it's a casket match
09:17it is a casket match one of these men have to put their opponent inside that oh my god
09:22inside that casket and byron every time daniel bryan starts to rally cain is right there you
09:27know daniel bryan said on monday he's trying to put on a brave face but he's ticked off
09:32he's angry but i go back to the emotional standpoint emotions can be your downfall
09:37and maybe the emotions of daniel bryan are costing him here against cain and cain now
09:41calling for the lid to be open he's going to try to force daniel bryan into the casket
09:45again bryan was in it one time but cain was not able to uh close the lid i think i think
09:51daniel's confused i don't know if he knows where he is right now he feels that cup and he knows
09:55where he's going and cain punishing daniel bryan as he moves him even closer inching him closer to
10:01the casket man fights daniel bryan fighting out of it back into the ring in a way i feel like
10:08cain's getting frustrated he's supposed to get daniel bryan in that casket daniel bryan wants
10:13to get as far away from that casket as humanly possible now don't blame him
10:21daniel bryan has had a couple little flurries here and there but for the most part it's been cain
10:30i think it goes back to the experience michael a man who has been there he's done that cain
10:34has been in casket matches before he understands the pacing and he understands the danger with
10:40every move you make and so many wwe fans as we mentioned before are so disappointed over the
10:47fact that that man daniel bryan didn't win the royal rumble match on sunday they could be
10:51disappointed unless bryan can rally yeah you're right about the disappointment the universe would
10:58suffer daniel bryan gets shoved in that casket that lid slammed down shut on him yes he's he's
11:06that's the resilience daniel bryan's made a career out of it
11:11the heart the guts never say die attitude of daniel bryan
11:25that's a victory to daniel bryan against two blades of
11:28wrestlemania and what's doing with bryan rolling here
11:32oh man bryan
11:39and again no count out disqualifications pinfall or submission
11:47to the legs about the sheer punishment both these men are inflicting on each other
11:53oh we got to do that just incapacitate him enough to put him in the casket
12:06the surgically repaired neck
12:10of daniel bryan the injury caused by cain last year
12:14that's the last thing daniel bryan needs to worry about but unfortunately took away a huge factor
