Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I muri i nga marama o te whakaoho me te karo i a Bryan - me te whakauru ki te riri a Team Hell No me The Bludgeon Brothers - I whakataetae a Bryan ki te hoa whawhai a The Miz i SummerSlam, engari i ngaro na te whakamahi i nga koromatua parahi kaore i kitea. Whai muri i te SummerSlam, ka tawai a Miz ki a Bryan ma te tuku korero reti teka ana ka hoki mai te wahine a Bryan a Brie Bella hei hoa. I te Reinga i roto i te Puka i te Mahuru 16, i ngaro a Bryan raua ko Bella ki a Miz raua ko Maryse i muri i te whiu a Maryse i a Bella. I te Super Show-Down i te Oketopa 6, i hinga a Bryan i a Miz kia whiwhi ai ia i te waahi WWE Championship ki a AJ Styles i Crown Jewel i te Noema 2. Heoi, i muri i te mate o Khashoggi, kaore ia i whakaae ki te mahi i te huihuinga Crown Jewel i Saudi Arabia ka whakarerekehia te korero kia tu ai to raatau tukinga i te Oketopa 30 o te waahanga "SmackDown Live", i ngaro a Bryan. I te wahanga 6 o Noema o "SmackDown Live", i whakaingoatia a Bryan hei rangatira kapa o SmackDown i te
Survivor Series i te Whiringa-a-rangi 18, engari i muri mai ka tohatoha i tenei mahi me The Miz.
