20 Greatest Moments Of Daniel Bryan's Career

5. Hijacking Raw

On the night that Bryan and his Yes Movement hijacked Raw, it was finally an acceptance from the WWE that they needed to appease their audience. What the fanbase wanted was Daniel Bryan, and finally the company decided to give fans what they wanted. For what seemed like an eternity, the WWE seemed adamant in their stance that D-Bry was simply never going to be €˜the guy€™ or a true main event player. Having fought their fanbase to the point of spiting themselves, finally they relented. As Bryan and his followers took over the Raw ring, the storyline went that Triple H agreed to give Bryan a match at WrestleMania XXX in order for The Authority to get control back over their own show. If Bryan won that match, he€™d then go on to face Batista and Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. The rest, as they say, is history. The sight of Daniel Bryan surrounded by a whole horde of adoring fans, all screaming €œYes€ at the top of their lungs, is a truly memorable one and one that the American Dragon will likely never forget.
