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

7. Daniel Bryan Captures The WWE Championship - (SummerSlam 2013)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RYBTP6JblE With the Yes! Movement at a fever pitch, and The Authority ready to dismiss the submission specialist as everything but "what's best for business", Daniel Bryan would enter SummerSlam riding the biggest wave of fan support pro wrestling has seen in nearly two decades. It was a 27-minute epic that brought out the best in both men and decidedly proved the Yes! Man to be a top-tier superstar. With Triple-H presiding over the match as a special guest referee, the combatants would pull out every weapon in their arsenal that took fans up-and-down and through the tunnel on a rollercoaster, eventually leading to Bryan's new running knee smash. He had won the WWE Championship and the crowd erupted like a volcano. They were completely silenced, however, when Triple-H pedigreed Daniel Bryan. It allowed Randy Orton to cash-in, win the title, and give Hunter a reason to mock his Yes! Chants and prove to everyone that he was the man in charge of The Game.
