– Daniel Bryan came to the ring for the contract signing for his Universal Championship strap match against Bray Wyatt at Royal Rumble. Instead of coming to the ring, Wyatt appeared on the TitanTron and said he was trying to fax in his part of the contract. Ultimately, Wyatt said that he wasn’t fighting Bryan at Royal Rumble, the Fiend is. The Fiend teleported into the ring, attacked and whipped Bryan, and signed the contract in blood after repeatedly stabbing the pen into his own hand.
