We are back and Renee Young is in the back with Big Cass. Cass tells the WWE Universe about his day. He appeared at the Memphis County Fair for the opening of their new roller coaster. He pretended to smile and took some pictures. Then he took his money as well as a souvenir. It is a height chart for a roller coaster. Cass says one person does not meet the height requirement for the ride and that person is Daniel Bryan. Cass said a good big man will always beat a good little man. That is what will happen at Money in the Bank. It will not be a roller coaster or the bumper cars. It will be a freefall drop. If Daniel Bryan tries to come up to his level, he will come crashing right back down.
