Daniel Bryan did wonderful job of robbing the audience of everything they loved just five days removed from his shocking heel turn and WWE Championship victory. When he last held the gold, he did so with a grip that pointed to the heavens, 'YES!' chanting for the millions that shared in his triumph. Here, he considered the gesture before abandoning it completely, wearing the belt above black trunks that completed an edgier aesthetic.

Gone were the bright shades of blue, green and/or burgundy. Ebony boots and tights mirrored his opponent's palette - his inner 'Beast' now as vicious as the living breathing one across the ring from him.
