20 Greatest Moments Of Daniel Bryan's Career

7. Turning On The Wyatts

With WWE seemingly adamant that they weren€™t going to give in to the strong fan response to Daniel Bryan, he became a member of The Wyatt Family, because, y€™know, he has a beard. Genius, right? Clearly not, because nobody wanted to see D-Bry as one of Bray Wyatt€™s followers, particularly when he had to wear a garish boiler suit. Luckily, the January 13th, 2014 edition of Raw saw Bryan break free from Wyatt€™s shackles and lay a beatdown on the Eater of Worlds inside a steel cage. The night would end with Bryan perched atop the cage, with the packed crowd all chanting €œYes€ along with their hero. In terms of the past decade or so, there are very few WWE crowd reactions that matched the crowd€™s response to Bryan on this night. Seriously, the guy could have given Steve Austin a run for his money at this stage of the game. But even then, despite this gloriously executed break away from The Wyatts, the WWE would be hesitant to do anything of note with Bryan and instead had him initially lined up to face Sheamus at that year€™s WrestleMania.
