Carefully orchestrated it may have been, but the second greatest moment of Daniel Bryans career just edging out that breathtaking ending to the cage match where he turned on Bray Wyatt and, astride the cage, held the entire audience in the palm of his hand occurred on March 10th on Monday Night RAW, after Triple H had refused his challenge to a match at Wrestlemania. The ring filled with (planted) Daniel Bryan fans wearing his t-shirt, chanting YES, as did the floor all around it and when we say filled, we mean filled, with barely a square inch of space visible in the sea of grey shirts as Daniel Bryans fans hijacked the ring, and Monday Night RAW, refusing to leave until their hero finally got what he wanted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EQYSuG1GFY Bryan Danielson played his part well, demanding his grudge match, but Paul Levesques performance was a thing of beauty: he was mad enough when he thought that the match with him was all Bryan wanted. However, when he found out that he wouldnt get his show back until he agreed to put Bryan in the Wrestlemania main event if he lost to him earlier on the card, Triple H went absolutely berserk, in one of his finest ever showings, finally agreeing to the stipulation before being virtually carried, incandescent with rage, from the arena with a stunned Stephanie McMahon trailing behind him. And in the ring, Daniel Bryan celebrated with a hundred or so fans, the YES! Movement having achieved what it set out to in the storyline, and in real life.
