“Good luck finding a team with better chemistry than the Bucks. They’re the best!” said Taz.

After the match, Brandon aimed the Cold Spray at Orange Cassidy’s eyes. This set up an ambush from “Switchblade” Jay White who clobbered Orange Cassidy with the Blade Runner!
Tony Schiavone interviewed “American Dragon” Bryan Danielson!
Danielson: “I know what people want. They want me to be bothered that Moxley teamed with CM Punk. No, my offer and CM Punk’s offer are two different things. I want to build something long term with Moxley. CM Punk just wants a one-night stand.”
Matt Sydal and Lee Moriarty interrupted the interview. Lee said he could show Danielson what he was made of, and Danielson said he wanted violence next Wednesday on DYNAMITE when the “American Dragon” faces off with Moriarty!
