Told you he'd be back.

In early 2014, Daniel Bryan was massively popular with the WWE audience, but was in the middle of a run as a member of the villainous Wyatt Family faction, having been converted by its leader, Bray Wyatt.

Bryan had been worn down by The Authority refusing to give him respect, despite his popularity. Wyatt absorbed Bryan into his cult and began teaming with him, although the success of the team decreased rapidly once Bryan joined.

Following a loss to The Usos on Raw, Wyatt tried to punish Bryan as part of a post-match ritual. As it looked like Wyatt was going to deliver a Sister Abigail to Bryan, he fought back, dodging the move to a huge ovation.

Bryan then came alive, beating down Wyatt inside the cage whilst fighting off Harper and Rowan on the outside. He then led the crowd in a fantastic Yes chant before dropping Wyatt with the Running Knee.

Bryan then scaled the cage and led the crowd in another Yes chant, beginning his road to the main event of WrestleMania XXX.

A well-told story capped up a perfectly executed turn, Daniel Bryan turning on The Wyatt Family is one of the best face turns of all time.
