10. Daniel Bryan Vs. The Wyatt Family (2013)
It is a testament to the incredible level that Daniel Bryan was working at at this time that this match was as good as it was. Handicap matches where the babyface has the odds stacked against them are eye-rolling old hat, and TLC 2013 actually featured two of them. Where as in the opening match of the show CM Punk defeated the three members of The Shield, logic would prevail in the second as Bryan came up short against Bray Wyatt and his followers. Daniel Bryan was simply on fire at this point, and produced a hot tag style comeback despite not having anyone to tag at all. The big men sold well for Bryan, and Harper in particular showed signs of the superstar he will surely become. The story was gripping throughout as well, with Bray trying to get Bryan to give in to the inevitable and joint the Wyatts, something that would happen (for a short amount of time) not long after. If anyone can make a three-on-one handicap match work, Daniel Bryan in 2013 was that man.
