SACRAMENTO, CA – You know what they say: A zebra can’t change his stripes, especially a crooked one. Looking to build his momentum to a fever pitch before this Sunday at SummerSlam, Daniel Bryan caught the wrong end of a Sacramento screwjob when Brad Maddox – whose track record of officiating is notoriously iffy at best – was revealed as the guest referee for the submission master’s second tilt in four days against Wade Barrett.

The forcibly shorn Barrett hardly leaned on Maddox as a crutch en route to victory, toughing it out through a ruthless attack on his knee from Bryan before literally and figuratively putting the No. 1 contender on the ropes. Bryan turned the tide with a flurry of kicks to the Brit’s chest, but Barrett dodged the final strike and rolled the No. 1 contender up, notching the win with the help of a fast-count from Maddox that, if Bryan’s post-match reaction was any indication, was potentially ill-advised.
