"Daniel Bryan has again lost his WWE Title in controversial circumstances. The Superstar won the belt for the first time at last month&amp;#039;s SummerSlam but lost it moments later when Randy Orton cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and guest referee Triple H hit Bryan with the Pedigree.      He regained the championship by defeating Orton on Sunday&amp;#039;s Night of Champions pay-per-view, though fans later accused referee Scott Armstrong of a fast 1-2-3 count. On Twitter yesterday, Armstrong rejected claims of a fast count, later asking his followers: &amp;quot;Why such disrespect?&amp;quot; Last night (September 16) on Raw, Triple H claimed that Armstrong&amp;#039;s quick count was evidence of a conspiracy.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m ashamed of you,&amp;quot; the WWE COO told Bryan. &amp;quot;You have embarrassed yourself, you have embarrassed the WWE. You entered into a conspiracy with a WWE official to ensure a fast count so you could become WWE Champion.&amp;quot; He added to the boos of the crowd: &amp;quot;Now you&amp;#039;re going to lie about it? Daniel, you leave me no choice. As of this moment I&amp;#039;m going to hold the WWE Championship in abeyance.  &amp;gt; WWE Daniel Bryan interview: &amp;#039;I want a bout with Jesus&amp;#039; &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not going to return the championship to Randy Orton, but Daniel Bryan - as of this moment - you are no longer the WWE Champion. &amp;quot;I understand you&amp;#039;re upset, I will investigate this further, and possibly there might be a rematch in the future. But as of right now there is no WWE Champion.&amp;quot; To a chorus of &amp;quot;No&amp;quot; chants, Bryan refused to hand over the belt, but Orton, who had entered the ring during the confrontation, administered an RKO, leaving Bryan on the canvas and The Game to take the belt from his grasp. I admit it! The count WAS a little fast. \u2014 Scott Armstrong (@WWEArmstrong) September 17, 2013  Backstage, Triple H fired Armstrong for his actions in the alleged conspiracy. &amp;quot;WWE officials have to have integrity, they have to be above reproach. If we don&amp;#039;t have that then we have nothing,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ve been a loyal employee here for 20 years and I appreciate that, and I&amp;#039;m going to offer you a really generous severance package... Scott - I&amp;#039;ve got to let you go.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
