10 Best Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (November 2018)
9. Brock Lesnar Vs. Daniel Bryan
Alright technically this has already happened but we've included it in this list because to this day we still can't quite believe what we witnessed.
Brock Lesnar, the guy who destroyed Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel whilst allowing him no offence, the guy who rarely wrestles on pay-per-views and appears on TV even less, the guy who doesn't seem to give a f*ck about WWE basically, put on an absolutely classic match with Daniel Bryan at Survivor Series.
Many went into Survivor Series worried that despite Bryan's excellent heel turn (we'll get to that later), he was set to be put through the ringer, punished, and squashed by Lesnar for his Crown Jewel indiscretion.
Playing on this, and the casual fans' perception that 5'8" Bryan didn't stand a chance against the behemoth, WWE booked the first few minutes of their contest to be akin to the beating Lesnar gave Cena at SummerSlam 2014, if not worse.
When Brock hit Bryan with an F5 then peeled him off the mat before the referee counted three, it seemed as though our worst fears had been realised...until something incredible happened.
Executing a second finisher, Brock Lesnar connected with the referee and Daniel Bryan seized this opportunity to hoof his opponent in the plums. What followed was a series of jaw-droppingly savage attacks on the former UFC fighter (you can see Bryan's footprint on Lesnar's face at one point) and even the smarkiest of smarks thinking the impossible could happen.
It sounds preposterous, but we all thought for a second that little Daniel Bryan was about to submit Brock Lesnar, who was selling like a champ.
He didn't of course, Brock Lesnar hit a second F5 for the win, but they'd put on a five-star epic, got us hook, line, & sinker, and restored our faith that Brock Lesnar can be bloody brilliant... when he can be bothered.
