WWE WrestleMania 30: 6 Potential "Mania Moments" That Could Happen

2. #YesMovement - Daniel Bryan Silences Triple H

The last year of Daniel Bryan's career has been nothing but ups and downs. He was hand-picked by John Cena to face him at SummerSlam, and after a clean win in an incredible match, he's screwed out of the title by special referee Triple H and Money in the Bank briefcase holder Randy Orton. The following months of PPVs featured Bryan vs. Orton with repeated screwjob finishes and decision reversal nonsense. Then there was his two week stint with the Wyatt Family, before turning on them in one of the most memorable Raw moments in years. Now, WWE has finally succumbed to the rising tide and given the fanbase what they want. Entire books could be written on the mindset of WWE's creative department and their handling of Daniel Bryan. Were they actively trying to derail his ascension? Has this whole program been a meta angle where they've taken real life criticisms and turned them into storylines? What if WWE realizes that in the post-kayfabe era the only way to garner true molten heel heat is to actually externalize the thoughts behind unpopular company decisions, take the criticism of your audience and turn it up to 11? Whether your opinion is that Bryan's rise has been an organic grassroots movement or brilliantly manipulated by WWE, Daniel Bryan has to win at WrestleMania XXX. By creating the stipulation that he gets placed in the championship match if he beats Triple H you've all but guaranteed the viewers that he's going over. But it needs to be definitive. It needs to be an absolute, undisputed clean victory. Leave no room for controversy, just a humbled egomaniac of a boss who realizes the error of his ways. Then hopefully we can put the heel authority figure wrestling trope behind us for good.
