10 Times WWE Creative Changed A Match On The Fly

10. Daniel Bryan's Cash In

It has been an age-old tradition in WWE for the giants to lose steam once they pass their early destructive phase, and The Big Show wasn't any different. Following his second WWE title reign in 2002, The World's Largest Athlete got relegated to being an attraction, and WWE never considered him for another World title run until 2011. No, the ECW title reign doesn't count!

He entered a rivalry with Mark Henry over the World Heavyweight Championship, and had two unsuccessful attempts at Vengeance and Survivor Series 2011. The two behemoths locked horns again in a Chairs Match at TLC 2011, and Big Show finally defeated the World's Strongest Man to win the title. But things didn't end there; Daniel Bryan cashed in his MITB contract to end Big Show's title reign as soon as it began.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon had originally planned to put the title on Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 28 or Elimination Chamber - but he changed his mind and decided to have Bryan cash in on Big Show at TLC 2011. Since McMahon didn't make the call until a few hours before the PPV and Bryan wasn't booked for the event, WWE had to rush the latter in from an autograph signing at a nearby city and went ahead with the cash-in.
