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

6. Daniel Bryan Submits HBK To The Yes! Lock - (RAW, 10/27/13)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whdiIPFTNYA After being screwed out of the WWE Championship by The Authority thrice over at mediocre PPV events that left everyone wondering: "What are they thinking?", there was hope that Daniel Bryan had a chance to fight fairly and rightfully take what was his at Hell in a Cell, with his former trainer and pal "The Showstopper" set to guest referee. There were questions as to HBK's alliance heading into the match, but the feeling was that he would call it down the middle, and that The Authority had to recognize in Bryan what they once were as Degeneration X €“ rebellious, raging against the machine, and unable to be stopped. But the last thing fans would see at Hell in a Cell was Shawn Michaels superkicking Bryan and, yet again €“ getting old? €“ costing him the WWE Championship. He lived up to his nickname, as hearts were broken throughout the Universe. Redemption came on the following Monday Night RAW however, when to a chorus of No! Chants, Bryan refused to shake HBK's hand and instead threw him in to a Yes! Lock, submitting the Hall of Famer on international television.
