10 WWE Superstars That Got Over In Losing Efforts

8. Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan's entire run for the WWE Championship that began in the summer of 2013 was predicated on his inability to win. As a B+ player and "a good, little hand" Daniel Bryan was fine at putting on exciting matches, but not exactly the picture of success that the McMahons wanted to represent WWE.

So when Triple H screwed him out of the WWE Championship just seconds after winning it off John Cena at SummerSlam 2013, fans rallied behind Bryan. When Shawn Michaels screwed him out of the WWE Championship at Hell In A Cell 2013, fans rallied behind Bryan yet again. WWE was determined to end Bryan's main event run; the fans had other ideas.

Fan support took Daniel Bryan from losing another PPV match, this time against Bray Wyatt at the 2014 Royal Rumble, to headlining the 30th edition of WrestleMania. At the big show, Bryan won the newly-unified WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXX after defeating all three members of Evolution throughout the course of the show.

While injuries eventually forced Bryan to vacate the title, ultimately shortening his career, The Leader of the Yes Movement reached an insurmountable height at WrestleMania XXX despite having lost most of his matches during the previous year.
