On this week’s episode of RAW, Daniel Bryan returned and Vince McMahon arranged a WrestleMania championship rematch between Bryan and WWE Champion Kofi Kingston. SmackDown stars can now come to RAW thanks to the wild card rule and Bryan hoped to capitalize. The Planet’s Champion quickly looked to prove that he wasn’t rusty as he took the fight to Kingston. The two competitors proved that they’re quite familiar with each other; they matched the other’s every step.

Kingston fought with the heart of a lion and Bryan demonstrated the skills that made him the WWE Champion in the first place. The champion took a nasty fall and it looked like his reign was in jeopardy but he persevered. Kingston hit Trouble in Paradise to retain the championship.
