Bryan walked in to the ring soon after Roman did and will take on Kofi Kingston tonight in a Wrestlemania Rematch for the WWE Championship. The former champion called Kofi a pancake throwing novelty act and claimed that his win at Mania was a fluke.
Meltzer reported that originally Bryan was meant to face Kofi at Money in the Bank but couldn’t be cleared on time. Kevin Owens was turned heel as a result and had Bryan been cleared a week earlier then Owens wouldn’t have been in the title picture.
