11) It Turned Into A Rough Night For Daniel Bryan
It ended up turning into a rough night for Daniel Bryan. After defeating Big Cass, he was attacked. Cass put a beating down on Bryan before walking out.
Smart booking to keep Cass looking strong after the loss. This will keep the feud going into Money in the Bank.
He lost the battle, but did @BigCassWWE win the war and take @WWEDanielBryan out of commission? #WWEBacklash pic.twitter.com/LrCUrDZvuL
