Much maligned for supposed burials, marrying the boss's daughter and apparently ensuring he maintained top status, Triple H isn't popular with every section of the wrestling fan fraternity. That's quite the understatement, but he was popular on April 6, 2014, all because he ensured that Daniel Bryan would have a night to remember. 

It'd wind up being one WWE fans may never forget.

Going into 'Mania XXX, it was the fans who made sure that Bryan would have a role. Outraged at Batista's Royal Rumble win and the apparent exclusion of their favourite from the featured bout on the biggest show of the year, the audience revolted. WWE caved to this and set up a meeting between Bryan and Triple H to open the show. 

It'd be the babyface who had his hand raised afterwards, and he'd go on to defeat both Randy Orton and Batista to win the WWE World Heavyweight Title in the main event.

Just as they had a decade earlier for Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, fans shed tears of joy over a workhorse wrestler being given such a tremendous moment to share with them. Sadly, it'd end up being the apex of Bryan's career, but it's a memory few will be able to let slip from their minds.
