The Miz, with Maryse at his side, mocked Daniel Bryan by pretending to announce his retirement. The fans actually bought it until he added “from ever facing Daniel Bryan again!” Daniel Bryan then came out calling Miz a coward. Maryse said Bryan should go home and call himself “Daniel Bella”. This brought out a furious Brie Bella who attacked Miz as Maryse bailed. Bryan then announced Paige had signed a mixed tag match for Hell in a Cell!
