 Daniel Bryan was the hottest wrestler in the world in the summer of 2013. At the time, stopping the “Yes Movement” was like trying to stop a forty-foot tidal wave. There’s just no way it can be done, but WWE decided to try to postpone his big moment at Summerslam 2013.

 The main event was Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena with Triple H as the guest referee. On paper, many never thought Bryan Danielson would be in the main event of a major WWE PPV. He not only accomplished that feat, but he won the WWE Championship. It was only for a few minutes before

It was only for a few minutes before Triple H Pedigreed Bryan, Randy Orton cashed in Money in the Bank, and Daniel Bryan lost the WWE Championship. The devastation of the loss put the fans even more behind Bryan. It took him another eight months to truly regain the WWE title and take his place as the best in the business.
