00:00The Intercontinental Championship is one of the mainstays of Wrestlemania and WWE.
00:07And the Intercontinental Championship is the first singles title that Sami Zayn has held on SmackDown.
00:14And it took Sami a while to earn it. He finally did the right thing and beat Braun Strowman.
00:20Let's see if he can earn this victory here tonight over Daniel Bryan or if Daniel Bryan can wrestle away the Intercontinental title.
00:28What do you think of the burgeoning friendship between Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak?
00:34It all started back in the Elimination Chamber, John, when Daniel Bryan and Drew Gulak had a match.
00:39And, well, Daniel gained a lot of respect for Drew Gulak.
00:45I certainly need a little time here.
00:47Yeah, but John, this has been classic Sami Zayn for months and months now.
00:51He has no interest at all in getting in the ring with Daniel Bryan.
00:55He understands his championship's on the line and he's trying to buy himself some time before starting this matchup.
01:04You heard Sami Zayn claiming he was already in Daniel Bryan's head.
01:08That's what the relationship, look, I like it.
01:10Sometimes when you're out there and you don't have a little introspection of yourself,
01:14you need someone like Drew Gulak to point out some holes in your game.
01:17That appears to be what Drew Gulak has done.
01:19Championship match, baby. You got those here. Let's go.
01:21And again, Sami Zayn just sitting here, taking his time, playing mind games,
01:27no interest in getting in the ring with Daniel Bryan.
01:30Everybody does it. Michael Cole knows it. Everybody does.
01:34Five.
01:35Take your time. Take your time.
01:36He's taking enough time, Cesaro.
01:38Just no ten. Just no ten. There we go.
01:40Seven.
01:41Sami Zayn appears to be utilizing the entire ten count here.
01:45I'm already getting tired.
01:45Touch him.
01:47People get disqualified. Don't you touch him.
01:49And at some point, John, you have to realize what is frustration going to set in for Daniel Bryan.
01:56The mind game from Sami, the interference from everyone around the ring.
02:03And Daniel Bryan had to expect that this was going to happen tonight.
02:07With Cesaro and Nakamura at ringside.
02:11Sami trying to get out of the ring.
02:13Almost caught by Bryan.
02:14Falling his way away.
02:16And now it's Cesaro and Nakamura running interference.
02:19You guys back up.
02:20And now Drew Gulag.
02:21Taking out Shinsuke and Cesaro.
02:25And Gulag now taking the fight to Cesaro, coming to the aid of his buddy Daniel Bryan.
02:30And launched over the barricade is Cesaro and Nakamura sent into the barricade as well.
02:38And he's taken out of the picture.
02:40What kind of ego maniacal man is Drew Gulag?
02:43Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
02:44Hey.
02:44Hey.
02:45He's taking his nose into a WrestleMania match.
02:48Get him out of the way.
02:48You boys ain't here no more.
02:49Drew, Drew.
02:50Drew.
02:51What?
02:51Let him go.
02:54Let him go?
02:55Let him go.
02:55Let him go.
02:56Let him go.
02:57Go ahead and just count him, ref.
02:57Go ahead and just count him.
02:58Let him go.
02:59You want to count him?
03:00You want to count him?
03:01Let him go.
03:02One.
03:03Huh?
03:04Two.
03:05Well, we gave you your senses, huh?
03:06Three.
03:07Nobody.
03:08Yeah.
03:09So the great champion is going to take a count out victory, but maybe not Daniel Bryan.
03:19Bryan suckered him in and goes right after Sami Zayn on the ramp.
03:23Gonna drag the champion back into the ring.
03:25And Daniel Bryan, at least for this moment, has outsmarted Sami Zayn.
03:30Daniel, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
03:32Hang on.
03:33Hang on, it's all a mistake.
03:36None of this needs to happen.
03:37None of this needs to happen.
03:38You can just join us.
03:40Right to the knee.
03:41Easy, easy.
03:42Daniel, Daniel, listen to me.
03:45Listen to me.
03:46God.
03:47There you go.
03:48I think Daniel Bryan doesn't want to talk anymore.
03:50He wants to take the Intercontinental Championship from a very loud mouthed Sami Zayn.
03:55And Bryan just teed off by the champion.
03:58Knees to the midsection.
03:59You have to understand also, this is Drew Bulek, who shouldn't be down here in the ring side.
04:05He also was the one that knocked out the coaches of Sami Zayn, who's out here to do nothing but help coach Sami.
04:12Okay, John.
04:14Oh, and a kick right to the hamstring.
04:16That hurt.
04:17And a kick to the spine.
04:19And Daniel Bryan now teed off on Sami Zayn.
04:23Protect yourself, Sami Zayn's up.
04:25He's giving up.
04:26Come on, he's giving up.
04:27It has been a long time since anybody has actually really gotten their hands on Sami Zayn in this manner.
04:33Come on, come on, come on.
04:34And here comes Daniel Bryan through the rope.
04:36Oh, it drives Sami Zayn into the barricade.
04:39And now the kicks from Bryan and Zayn's in deep, deep trouble here.
04:46The attack, the relentless assault continues.
04:48That moment at WrestleMania that King called WrestleMania was one of the greatest moments I've ever seen.
04:56And I've been around a long time.
04:59Off the top rope, missile dropkick to the champion, Bryan into a kip up.
05:04And Daniel Bryan is exactly where he wants to be right now.
05:07Complete control of the Intercontinental Champion.
05:09Look at what Daniel Bryan has done from the World Champion, WWE Champion, four times Intercontinental Champion, Tag Team Champion.
05:20But this might be one of his most satisfying victories if he finds a way to beat the Wally Sami Zayn.
05:26And with Hugh Gulak's help and tutelage and coaching over the past few weeks,
05:31Daniel Bryan has found this new aggressive side.
05:35What?
05:36You think Drew's a nobody, huh?
05:39Wow, wow.
05:41You're the nobody.
05:43My God.
05:44You haven't earned anything.
05:47The fight just broke out.
05:49Out of the corner, let's go.
05:51From the slaps to the kicks, Daniel Bryan has beaten the hell out of Sami Zayn.
05:55And a kick right to the face, and Zayn is in serious trouble.
05:59Focus now, Daniel.
06:01And his Intercontinental Championship reign, John, could be coming to a close.
06:05Watch your hair, Daniel Bryan.
06:07Daniel Bryan is sensing another WrestleMania moment for himself.
06:11You gotta listen.
06:12Listen.
06:13Three, four, five.
06:14Is Sami crying?
06:15Sami.
06:16Come on.
06:18Up the head.
06:19I think he is, but he really should not be crying at WrestleMania.
06:23Inside the ring.
06:25And an elbow by Zayn.
06:27Caught Daniel Bryan right in the mouth, and now Sami Zayn will go on the attack.
06:32Push, push, push.
06:33And as we know, Sami can be extremely dangerous.
06:35Big clothesline.
06:37What impact to Bryan?
06:39I've never seen anybody talk quite as much as Sami Zayn during a match.
06:55He talks all the time, not even in a match.
06:57He's a great liberator.
06:58Giant mistake.
06:59Keep your head up.
07:00Keep your head up.
07:01Get your hands ready.
07:02Come on.
07:02Come on.
07:03Giant mistake.
07:04Giant mistake.
07:05Those hands ready.
07:06Those hands ready.
07:07Come on.
07:08Giant mistake.
07:09Breathe now.
07:10Breathe now.
07:11Come on.
07:12Come on.
07:13Hit your teeth.
07:14Come on.
07:14Hit your teeth.
07:15Hit your teeth.
07:16Come on.
07:17He ain't got you.
07:18He ain't got you.
07:19Here comes Bryan.
07:21Down to Sami Zayn.
07:23Come on.
07:24Come on.
07:25Right.
07:26Everything he does has malice behind him.
07:29How physical has this match been?
07:32This is just a beating.
07:34Oh my God.
07:35Sami may be out.
07:36Now playing the part of an Everlast punching bag is Sami Zayn.
07:47This is a full on assault by Daniel Bryan.
07:51And he's not done torturing Sami Zayn yet.
07:56Zayn's been running his mouth for weeks.
07:59Calling himself the greatest intercontinental champion of all time.
08:02Daniel Bryan has taken exception to that.
08:05As we had said back in West Texas when I grew up.
08:08Somebody better yell calf rope.
08:10Yes.
08:11Yes.
08:12Yes.
08:13Yes.
08:14Yes.
08:15And then yes chants begin again.
08:16And Cesaro and Nakamura now.
08:18Back into the ringside area.
08:20Oh.
08:21Driving Gulak to the steps.
08:23And now Daniel Bryan taking out Nakamura and Cesaro.
08:28Here we go.
08:29Playing field even again.
08:30And Daniel Bryan now up to the top rope.
08:32Sami Zayn to his feet.
08:34Bang.
08:35Caught him with a hallouva kick.
08:36Sami looking to retain the intercontinental title.
08:40Got him.
08:41Wow.
08:42Sami Zayn from out of nowhere.
08:44Here is your winner and still the intercontinental champion Sami Zayn.
08:54It looked like Zayn hit a version of the hallouva kick.
