The Royal Rumble pay-per-view is quickly approaching and Bray Wyatt is set to defend his Universal Championship against Daniel Bryan at the event.
This week Kane kicked off SmackDown, and The Fiend tried to attack him by coming up through the ring, but Kane got out of the ring and Daniel Bryan snuck up on The Fiend with a running knee.
As Bryan was beating The Fiend down he retreated back under the ring and disappeared.
Daniel Bryan later announced backstage that he is challenging The Fiend to defend his title in a strap match at the Royal Rumble.
Were @KaneWWE & @WWEDanielBryan going to let #TheFiend @WWEBrayWyatt escape with the upper hand?
