Until Daniel Bryan defies all the odds to become WWE Champion again in 2018 or 2019 (which will surely happen if he sticks around for another year or so), then the magic of WrestleMania XXX will remain his crowning achievement. What a night that was.

Beating Triple H and overcoming both Randy Orton and Batista on the same card showed that yes, WWE were willing to put their might behind Bryan and push him as the biggest babyface they had; in truth, they didn't have much choice. The DB hype train had reached fever pitch by the time 'Mania XXX rolled around, and there was no stopping it.

Playing Bryan's wins over 'The Game' and his Evolution cohorts is the kind of thing his Showcase was built for.

It's sheer drama, the kind WWE so love, and it remains the pinnacle of his in-ring career with the promotion. Around four years ago, Daniel Bryan wore an organic smile that said it all. We want to relive that happiness in 2K19.
