10 Lowest Points Of Daniel Bryan’s WWE Title Reign
9. Daniel Bryan Married Brie Bella
It's difficult to believe that Daniel Bryan's life is really all that terrible when he gets to go home to Brie Bella. If you win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania and then pretty much IMMEDIATELY go get married and have a honeymoon, fans probably shouldn't care too much about you as the champion of a professional wrestling company. What would have likely been a better solution is if Bryan won the title, cleanly defeated Triple H and then stood in the middle of the ring and explained that he was going to marry his fiance, take a quick vacation and then come back and defeat anyone The Authority threw in his path. Instead of that, Daniel Bryan got beat up by Triple H and the Authority, then got married, came back and was beaten up by Kane. Of course, this entire time he's still married to Brie Bella, which, well, none of his fans in the audience are. From being a socially awkward and hard-nosed competitor to being a charismatic guy who loses matches and has a hot wife, in just over two months Daniel Bryan went from being the champ to basically being The Miz.
