10 WWE Events Out Of Daniel Bryan's Control That Made His Career
6. Cashing In Money In The Bank
Much like the Money in the Bank briefcase win, the decision wasnt made for Bryan to win the World Heavyweight Championship at the TLC 2011 Pay Per View until the day of the show, and it was an absolute fluke that Bryan was even in the building to be able to cash in his briefcase. Mark Henry, the World Champion at the time, had a serious ankle injury and couldnt defend the championship on a regular basis. The decision was made to have Bryan cash in on Big Show, and Bryan was only in the building because he was doing an autograph signing nearby earlier in the day. A couple months prior, at Vengeance, when Henry and Big Show exploded the ring after a superplex, the crowd was chanting for Bryan to cash in the briefcase, but Bryan wasnt even at the show.
