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

19. Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus For The World Title (Extreme Rules 2012)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0Ea44VhpPI In a two-of-three falls matchup against Sheamus, the man who took his title and became cause for Bryan's angsty swerve toward redemption, it looked as if Daniel Bryan would regain his title and and the steam that brought him so close to the top of the card. After being disqualified by the ref for relentless attacks on his opponent, Bryan went mercilessly after his opponent's left arm and used his technical prowess to submit Sheamus with the Yes! Lock until he passed out in the squared circle to win the second fall. The Great White eventually regained his composure however and ended the match in the same manner as he had their 18-second bout at 'Mania €“ with a Brogue Kick that sent Daniel Bryan tumbling through the air.
