12 Incredible Recent Matches To Get You Back Into WWE

6. Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton - Street Fight - Raw; June 24, 2013

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNOdbjI4ZLk For weeks, Daniel Bryan had listened to his peers repeatedly question whether he was the weak link in Team Hell No. After losing repeated matches to The Shield and usually being the one to eat the pinfall, Bryan became more and more determined to prove his worth. When a no disqualification match against Randy Orton ended suddenly thanks to a stinger suffered by Bryan after a nasty looking bump, a rematch was booked for the June 24 episode of Raw with fans choosing the stipulation. They overwhelming selected a street fight and the match was on. The bell rang and action was underway immediately. Orton was the first to introduce a weapon of any kind, bringing a steel chair into play. Bryan took a big bump on the steel entrance ramp during the break but fought back, showing great intensity, and began to unleash on Orton with some of his trademark kicks. With Orton in the corner, Bryan charged at him, landing a few running dropkicks. The last, however, was met with a chair from the Viper. With a table set up on the outside of the ring and Orton on the apron, Bryan baseball slid through Orton's legs and delivered a powerbomb through the table, the first major table spot of the match. Orton would return the favor later when he caught one of Bryan's kicks and put him through the table with the a T-bone suplex. The introduction of a cane proved vital to the outcome of the match. Orton used it to escape on Yes Lock but as he found himself trapped in the hold and reaching for the weapon again, Bryan grabbed it and used it against him, forcing it against Orton's face and intensifying the pain from the hold. Orton had no choice but to tap out, giving the match to Bryan via submission. It was the first major win for Bryan over a marquee star on his road to the WWE Championship match at SummerSlam two months later. A great street fight that limited the weaponry but made tremendous use of what they had at their disposal. The first in many very good matches between Bryan and Orton.
