Did the "Yep" movement defeat the "Yes" movement?

1 Comments

One of the matches with the longest storyline buildups for Wrestlemania 34 was Shane McMahon's feud with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. With Daniel Bryan cleared to wrestle, he was able join in the fight at Mania, which took place on April 8 in New Orleans at the Superdome.

While Zayn and Owens have spent most of their time in WWE as enemies, they became united as they found a common enemy in Shane McMahon. Owens saved Zayn from McMahon's death-defying dive at Hell in a Cell, and the two have been a pain in the Smackdown commissioner's behind for months. However, Bryan always had their backs, as--like them--he's an "indie guy."

Bryan found himself on the duo's bad side after being cleared to wrestle in a WWE ring again. He needed to punish Zayn and Owens after their brutal attack on Shane. Bryan fired them and then found himself getting beaten to a pulp, including taking his first powerbomb in years. Bryan found himself in an alliance with McMahon, and with a win, the two are officially fired from Smackdown. Here's a recap of how things played out.

  • Shane O'Mac comes out first in his trademark baseball jersey and silly backwards jog thing. Not sure if it's the lighting in the Superdome but Shane looks considerably less red-faced than usual. Next up is Daniel Bryan, who is preceded by a montage of people around the world doing the "Yes!" chant. The whole crowd is on their feet at Bryan Yes's down the ramp.
  • As KO's music starts, the heels sneak behind McMahone/Bryan and attack. Zayn and Owens pick up Bryan and buckle bomb him onto the ring's side. The match hasn't even officially started yet.
  • Officials rush from the back to check on Bryan, who's still prone on the floor. McMahon gets in the ring and orders the match to start, even though he's currently without a partner. He gets in some quick offense with a flurry of those awful little punches he throws. All. The. Time.
  • Of course, Zayn/Owens quickly gets the upper hand on the solo McMahon. Medics are outside the ring treating Bryan.
  • After a few uncomfortable minutes (including a barely-made Coast-to-Coast from McMahon to Zayn), Bryan finally rushes back into the ring to break up a pin attempt. He's back folks!
  • Bryan finally gets the hot tag from a badly beat up McMahon. Bryan is zipping around the ring, flipping off the top rope, doing flying knees from the ring, doing huge drop kicks, nipping up. He looks great.
  • After a distraction from Owens, Zayn lands a Helluva kick to Bryan. Bryan kicks out of the pin, though. Owens then manages to land a Pop-up Powerbomb, but again Bryan kicks out.
  • Bryan lands a knee to Zayn's head, and quicky puts him into the Yes Lock. Zayn taps, Bryan wins, and the crowd goes nuts.
  • What a fine return for Bryan. The years away haven't seemed to dull his skills, and it's exciting to know he's back to full form.
