00:03Ladies and gentlemen, our opening contest scheduled for one fall is for the United States Championship!
00:31Now, ladies and gentlemen, Ted DiBiase forced himself into the United States Championship picture last Monday night on RAW when
00:38WWE went old school!
00:40Champion Daniel Bryan came with a win before DiBiase decided to get involved.
00:45Well, you're right, Daniel Bryan didn't get a chance to celebrate a hard-earned victory because Ted DiBiase showed up
00:50to rain on Bryan's parade!
00:53You know, I just gotta wonder if this has something to do with Ted DiBiase recently telling his father, the
00:57Million Dollar Man,
00:58He didn't want a hand-me-down in the Million Dollar Championship!
01:02He wanted something, uh...
01:05Well, maybe he's looking at it right there. He wanted something, and I think it's that United States Championship.
01:09Well, hi again, everybody. Michael Cole, Jerry DiCickelole, the Hall of Famer at ringside, joined, of course, by SmackDown's Matt
01:14Stryker.
01:15Big matchup here tonight, Matt, for Ted DiBiase, and an opportunity to win his first major singles goal in World
01:22Wrestling Entertainment.
01:22This is a different Ted DiBiase. Vicious and aggressive. I expect big things out of young Ted DiBiase tonight.
01:29Ted DiBiase taking Maryse shopping on South Beach last night.
01:33Oh, they come shopping, too.
01:35Versace dress, Prada jacket.
01:37From Aberdeen, Washington, weight 192 pounds, is the current United States Champion, Daniel Bryan!
01:46Well, of course, coming out to his nerd music, Daniel Bryan of the Valkyries. That's a great song.
01:51Yeah, from Apocalypse Now, and every time that Daniel Bryan comes out, that's what it is out here.
01:56Nonetheless, Daniel Bryan would know nothing about the way that Maryse would dress.
02:00That wonderful Versace dress and Prada jacket. How gorgeous, how gorgeous does Maryse look here tonight at Survivor Series?
02:07Oh, she's always very, very beautiful. As most armed twin gold diggers are.
02:14Well, Daniel Bryan said he was honored.
02:16Wait a minute, wait a minute.
02:17Go ahead, come on.
02:18How can you say that Maryse is a gold digger?
02:21Oh, come on, let me ask you. If you think, Matt, you could probably vouch for this.
02:25You said you'd love to take her shopping.
02:27You used to be a teacher. What if you still made a teacher's salary?
02:30You think she would be hanging around?
02:32I would take out a loan and mortgage my house.
02:34Trust me, Maryse would not be hanging around somebody that just is a regular Joe Blow off the street with
02:40a...
02:40Well, Michael, let me shift you there.
02:42Daniel Bryan said he was honored to have Hall of Famer Jim Ross call his Masters past week on Old
02:47School Ball.
02:47How did that work out?
02:48Well, okay.
02:49Nonetheless, Daniel Bryan and Ted DiBiase for the United States Championship
02:53as we kick off the 24th Annual Survivor Series.
02:56And we'd like to welcome the WWE Universe watching Survivor Series live around the world
03:01in places like the United Kingdom and Sky Box Office.
03:04Canada, Australia, and Mexico.
03:09I like it when the lights go down.
03:12I do, too. I don't have to look at Daniel Bryan.
03:14No, the diamonds on, uh, Maurice's fingers there don't, don't blind me so much.
03:19Oh, quit waving at her, Michael.
03:20Oh, she keeps flirting with me at ringside.
03:21Oh, look at Bryan.
03:22Daniel Bryan will certainly look to use his submission prowess against Ted DiBiase.
03:26But take nothing away from Ted.
03:27He trained with Hall of Fame a Harley race.
03:30Do not discount Ted DiBiase's knowledge of the submission world.
03:35Ted DiBiase, a third-generation superstar.
03:39What is he gonna do here, guys?
03:40Daniel Bryan could be in trouble trying to suplex Bryan out of the ring.
03:43And he does.
03:44Ted DiBiase's face tells the story.
03:49Ted DiBiase has become very aggressive, very vicious.
03:55Well, that's all well and good in recent weeks.
03:56You know, DiBiase can't win the title that way.
03:59If Daniel Bryan is counted out, you gotta win by a pin or submission.
04:03Maurice looks impressed at, uh, what the fortunate son DiBiase is doing thus far in this matchup.
04:09Look this out one more time.
04:10Oh, my goodness.
04:12I started to say fortunate that he almost landed on his feet,
04:15but he landed as much on his face that he did his feet.
04:18And he's back as well.
04:20DiBiase looking to wear Bryan down,
04:22which obviously is a sound strategy,
04:24considering Bryan and that LaBelle lock can strike at any time.
04:28Man, DiBiase doing, uh,
04:29who's pulling everything out of the playbook tonight?
04:31Look at this!
04:31Oh, man!
04:32And I'll tell you, Matt, DiBiase has been a changed man
04:34since he went through this situation with Goldust
04:37over the past couple of months.
04:38Goldust brought something out of DiBiase we haven't seen in a long time.
04:41Sometimes that's what it takes for a superstar to get a fire lit under him.
04:43If Goldust lit the fire in DiBiase's belly, I'm all for it.
04:49Here's the cover hook of the leg.
04:51United States Championship on the line
04:52and a kick out at two by the champion Bryan,
04:55who has been pummeled and punished thus far by DiBiase.
05:02Daniel Bryan won the United States Championship
05:04back in September at Night of Champions
05:06with a victory over The Miz.
05:08It has been on quite a roll as of late.
05:11Just when you think Daniel Bryan's had enough,
05:13here he comes.
05:16Boom!
05:17There he goes.
05:18Now, DiBiase, look at DiBiase kicking, I mean, just...
05:23Mean streak tonight.
05:25Well, I think it's...
05:27I think it's about, you know, what he said to his dad.
05:30Cover again.
05:30Hook of the leg, again, and a kick out.
05:32I mean, you know, most people would be proud
05:34and honored by the fact that you're dead
05:36and wanted to pass on a legacy
05:38or give you something like that.
05:40That trust fund, I don't guess he would turn that down,
05:42but the Million Dollar Championship.
05:44I guess this is about the fact that
05:46Ted DiBiase wants to earn this United States Champion
05:49and Championship for himself.
05:51And these two superstars couldn't have a more different path.
05:54You talked about Ted DiBiase, but what about Daniel Bryan's path
05:56and what he had to deal with on NXT,
05:58what he had to deal with,
05:59making it here on Monday Night Raw,
06:01earning the United States Championship.
06:03Daniel Bryan was on NXT trying to earn his way into the WWE.
06:07He had to deal with The Miz,
06:09and he had to deal with you, Michael.
06:10Cover yet again.
06:10Hook of the leg on Bryan.
06:12Two count.
06:12Got him here.
06:13And a kick out.
06:14Daniel Bryan basically got a career in the WWE handed to him.
06:18He had The Miz.
06:19He had The Miz be his pro.
06:21Watch this one.
06:21Watch this one more time.
06:23Beautiful, picture-perfect drop kick.
06:25I mean, think about what your career would be like, Matt Stryker,
06:27if you had an opportunity to have The Miz coach you along
06:30and become your pro for a number of months.
06:32I was coached along by Hall of Famer Johnny Rodgers,
06:34but either way, Daniel Bryan toiled for over a decade
06:37trying to make it here into the WWE.
06:40I understand that you have an issue with Daniel Bryan,
06:42but you have to respect the path that Daniel Bryan has taken
06:45to follow his dreams.
06:47Look at this.
06:48And Daniel Bryan keeps coming at DiBiase.
06:52The United States Champion of the 192-pounder
06:55from Aberdeen, Washington.
06:57One of the things I respect about Daniel Bryan was,
06:59you know, when he first came here, he was part of Nexus.
07:02He left the WWE, he was banished or whatever,
07:05but when he came back, he didn't try to get back in Nexus.
07:07I respect him for that.
07:08One good turn deserves another as Daniel Bryan with a forceful drop kick
07:12seems to change the momentum of this match.
07:14I guarantee you, Nexus didn't want it.
07:15Oh, come on.
07:17Why would they want this guy to completely blow their image?
07:20Yeah, he's the United States Champion.
07:23They don't want championships, I'm sure.
07:25Bryan lands on his feet.
07:28And look at...oh, Daniel Bryan starting to pick up the pace a bit.
07:32Which he needs to do.
07:34One of the reasons Bryan's so dangerous is that LaBelle lock,
07:37which you can lock on at any time from out of nowhere.
07:43Oh, look out!
07:44Look out!
07:46Daniel Bryan!
07:46Oh, man!
07:47Way to kick off the Survivor Series, but hang out.
07:50Bryan may have separated his shoulder there.
07:52How will that affect the LaBelle lock submission?
07:56Hey, Daniel Bryan almost overshot his target
07:59and crashed head first, shoulder first.
08:03The official's gonna start the count.
08:04Let's get a view here and watch.
08:06Let's see the way Daniel Bryan lands.
08:09It's almost as if DiBiase...
08:11Watch this.
08:12You're getting a better view here.
08:14Watch his shoulder.
08:15Oh!
08:16And again, Matt, to your point, I mean,
08:18how does it affect the submission hold?
08:20The LaBelle lock.
08:21Daniel Bryan uses both of his arms.
08:23He tries to capture his opponent's shoulder
08:24as well as cross-face.
08:26Well, he may not need it as he goes to the top rope here.
08:29DiBiase's in trouble.
08:30I say kudos to Daniel Bryan for even attempting to continue this match
08:33and...
08:34Continues!
08:35Way-handed right here!
08:36Into the cover again.
08:37Hooks the inside leg of DiBiase.
08:39He could have appeared in a near fall
08:40in this United States Championship match
08:42at the Survivor Series.
08:44Now, does going for the cover by Daniel Bryan
08:46give us an indication of Bryan's injury?
08:48Why wouldn't Bryan go for the LaBelle lock right there?
08:51Well, you're right.
08:52He may not have the strength in that shoulder right now.
08:54Well, Maurice will get new strength.
08:59Oh!
09:02Oh!
09:04Daniel Bryan uses his feet as effectively as the rest of his body.
09:09Strike after strike to DiBiase.
09:11The referee might have to stop this thing if DiBiase can't get his hands up.
09:14Uh-oh!
09:14He does get his hands up.
09:16Oh, DiBiase.
09:17Oh, nice counter!
09:17Look at this!
09:18The master of the small package!
09:19He's up here!
09:20Two count kick out by DiBiase.
09:21He almost got caught.
09:22What a simple counter.
09:23Just a simple jump.
09:24Hang on!
09:24LaBelle lock could be coming!
09:26Yeah, Bryan going for the LaBelle lock yet again.
09:27Look at DiBiase get to his feet.
09:30Wise strategy by DiBiase!
09:31With a close line that turns Bryan inside out!
09:34Into the cover!
09:35Can the champion recover here?
09:37New champion!
09:38Kick out at two!
09:43He turned Daniel Bryan inside out.
09:46Complete flip!
09:52Watch this!
09:56Man!
09:57That is some impact right there.
09:59Listen to this!
10:01I know it's just as impressive as the way DiBiase countered the possible LaBelle lock before that sequence there.
10:08I don't know.
10:09I think DiBiase seems to be wasting a little time right now.
10:11I know he thinks he's got this well in dance.
10:12Setting up is not wasting time.
10:13He's setting up for Dream Street.
10:15And Daniel Bryan countering Dream Street once.
10:19Can he do it a second time?
10:20And Bryan, look at this.
10:22Roll through.
10:22Shoulders down here.
10:23Two count!
10:24Did he get him though?
10:25And DiBiase is way to keep that Cobra Clutch submission hold intact.
10:32Oh no!
10:33Spine Buster!
10:34And look at this.
10:36Cover yet again.
10:36Bryan's in trouble!
10:37And a kick out at two and a half!
10:39This young man is so resilient!
10:46What do you say Cole?
10:47You think he looks like a nerd?
10:49I'm telling you.
10:50This guy certainly doesn't.
10:51I mean this guy is a superstar once that bell rings.
10:53Come on!
10:55He's a superstar nerd.
10:56I don't get why nerd is derogatory.
10:58It just implies that Daniel Bryan is educated and smart.
11:01Especially inside the squared circle.
11:02Or even better King, a nerdy superstar.
11:05Oh man!
11:06And look at DiBiase.
11:08Looking to take the United States Championship from Daniel Bryan here tonight.
11:15This could be it.
11:16Oh boy.
11:17Top rope.
11:17This is dangerous.
11:18Look at Bryan!
11:19Slip under!
11:20Great counter by Daniel Bryan!
11:28Well DiBiase, he can only say brought this on himself.
11:32Oh my lord.
11:33Not from the top rope.
11:34Daniel Bryan here.
11:35What's he gonna do?
11:36DiBiase in trouble!
11:38It's obvious!
11:38Look at this!
11:39Oh man!
11:42Well at what cost to Daniel Bryan's potentially injured right shoulder?
11:48What about the back of the head and neck of Ted DiBiase?
11:51Daniel Bryan rolling DiBiase over.
11:53Covered.
11:53Shoulders are down here.
11:54There's a two count.
11:55Take out again.
11:57Oh hang on!
11:57And look at this!
11:58From out of nowhere Daniel Bryan going for the LaBelle Lock!
12:00Can Bryan get the LaBelle Lock on?
12:03Nice counter there as well from Ted DiBiase.
12:06DiBiase doing a great job.
12:07He's obviously scouted Bryan.
12:09Watch it here!
12:10Oh!
12:12And DiBiase looking to steal one here.
12:14Win the United States Championship.
12:15Two count.
12:16They kick out at two.
12:17Near fall after near fall in this matchup here.
12:21Come on DiBiase!
12:22Oh yeah man!
12:23This is the art of chain grappling.
12:25If Bryan can get his hands around DiBiase's face.
12:28And there is the LaBelle Lock!
12:29He got him!
12:29The LaBelle Lock's in!
12:30Center of the ring!
12:31DiBiase nowhere to go!
12:33He has to tap out!
12:38What a match!
12:39This matchup is the result of a submission and still the United States Champion Daniel Bryan!
12:47Somehow he keeps winning.
12:49I don't get it.
12:50But he keeps winning.
12:51Daniel Bryan is a talented and accredited WWE Superstar and still the United States Champion.
12:57That's how he keeps doing it Michael.
12:59Yeah.
12:59Talent and ability.
13:01And just go up and let him just demonstrate that LaBelle Lock on you.
13:04And then you'll understand how he does it.
