Ranking All Daniel Bryan's WWE WrestleMania Moments From Worst To Best

1. Vs. Triple H (WrestleMania XXX)

Hours before toppling Orton and Batista to finally reach the mountaintop, Daniel Bryan beat Triple H (y'know, the guy considered by some to be an evil, power-hungry villain who has squashed countless dreams in WWE) 100% clean in the middle of the ring to open 'Mania XXX.

Even Triple H's biggest critics had to admit that he had played a blinder by allowing everybody to believe that he, the WWE system and even the McMahon family would never book Bryan as a top guy. As soon as Daniel cracked him with that running knee and made the cover, all that ill-feeling washed away.

It was replaced by euphoria and a powerful sense of belief that only occurs when fans forge a connection with a talent they treasure.

That Trips was willing to sacrifice himself in the show's opening match showed he was a team player and believed Bryan was indeed "best for business" after all. This, not the later Triple Threat, is surely Daniel Bryan's most noteworthy victory at WrestleMania.

Here's hoping he can emulate it in years to come.
