Daniel Bryan Wins SmackDown Elimination Chamber, Loses to Roman Reigns in Universal Title Match

In the opening bout of tonight's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, Daniel Bryan outlasted Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, King Baron Corbin and Jey Uso to earn a shot at Roman Reigns' Universal Championship.

Reigns came down to the ring immediately after Bryan's win, and although he was momentarily caught by surprise with a Yes Lock from Bryan, Reigns ultimately put Bryan down with the Guillotine Choke to retain the Universal Title.
