5 Winners From Money In The Bank...
5. Daniel Bryan
WWE.comWhile not being a competitor in any of the evening's matches, Daniel Bryan's appearance on the pre-show can only be viewed as a win. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the crowd at the TD Garden in Boston was extremely happy to see the returning hero. Entering to an explosive chorus of "YES!" chants, Bryan took the mic to address the WWE Universe for the first time since he was stripped of the title. There's been some speculation this week on how WWE views Daniel, whether or not he'll return to the top of the card when he's fully recovered and back in action. Reports are that they've lost faith in him for getting hurt when they needed him most. Hopefully this is all just unfounded rumors, but if that is the case, then tonight should tilt their thinking back in the other direction. The fans still love Bryan and will be molten for his return when he's finally cleared to go. If his recovery is taking longer than initially expected, hopefully he'll sit out until he's fully healed and not force a comeback before he's ready. Having Bryan as a surprise entrant in the 2015 Royal Rumble would blow the roof off the arena. Ideally he isn't out that long, but if so, tonight's reaction should have helped convince WWE he needs to be back in the main event immediately.
