The post-Royal Rumble edition of WWE Raw lives on. First, the arena was snowed-out. Then, WWE went to a studio-based show. Now, it appears that rehearsal footage made air on the Universal HD replay that airs on Saturday nights.

Leaked video shows Daniel Bryan sitting down with Renee Young for his post-Rumble interview. The footage is of Bryan talking about his casket match against Kane on Smackdown. After Bryan concludes his thoughts, the video cuts to the writer/producer talking to Bryan about his promo, specifically Bryan's storyline-driven issue with Reigns winning the Royal Rumble match. Also, a friendly discussion about use of the term "pro wrestler" follows.

Bryan: "Was that better?"

Writer: "That was real good. Much better. Much smoother."

Bryan: "Is the stuff with Roman - does that sound good?"

Writer: "I think it's fine. You kind of take it away, but you put him back over. You say, 'Hey, look, I'm a man of opportunity, I got no beef with him."

Then...

Writer: "Can I compromise with you on 'wrestler?' Can you just say 'wrestler?'

Bryan: "Oh yeah. In the first draft, it said pro wrestler. I was like, 'Oh yeah. Okay."

Writer: "I re-wrote it WWE Superstar."

Bryan: "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, that wasn't the deal." (laughs)

Writer (to Bryan & Renee): "Everything was good. I think that was pretty smooth."
