WWE: 20 Best Moments Of Daniel Bryan's Slow Burn

12. Ryback & Team Hell No vs. The Shield (TLC 2012)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC0z857e138 It was a six-man tag match that had all the flair of a heyday ECW bout €“ within five minutes, Kane had both crushed someone with a steel chair and been crushed by one, leaving Ryback to power struggle with the three-man onslaught that The Shield would come to patent in front of fans across the WWE Universe. From the independent circuit to the WWE, it was the first PPV that saw Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan in the ring with one another. Yes! Chants began to circle the arena in a fit of impatience and by ten minutes the crowd would bear witness to Bryan going head first into a table by the hands of Ambrose and Reigns. After a double suplex about 10:00 in, Bryan was pinned, but Kane came in for the save and chokeslammed Ambrose onto a steel chair. The madness spilled outside of the ring, and Ryback would get powerbombed through the Spanish announcers' table. He would get his redemption later by knocking Seth Rollins from atop a huge ladder and into a table below. Bryan would try the No! Lock on all three members of The Shield and at one point the undersized underdog looked to have it won, but he was unable to overcome the odds.
