A lot of fans were angry when, after Daniel Bryan had cleanly beaten John Cena, Triple H hit him with the Pedigree and allowed Randy Orton to cash in his Money In The Bank privileges at Summerslam 2013. It seemed like just another example of Bryan being held down by WWE, but it was more than worth it by the time WrestleMania XXX came around. Booked in the opening match, Bryan vs. Triple H would decide who would go on to the main event later that evening, facing Randy Orton and Batista in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Title. Stephanie may have been at ringside for her husband, but she was wide-eyed when Bryan rocked out of the corner, nailing Triple H with a big running knee. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2df66h_daniel-bryan-vs-triple-h-wwe-wrestlemania-xxx_sport Immediately following the move, Bryan pinned Triple H, cleanly defeating him and eventually going on to capture the title later that night. Suddenly, all the strife and rumours of being held down were worth it. People can say what they want about Triple H (and have), but he did the right thing for business on this evening.
