#8 Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt – Royal Rumble 2014
Trending
Unsurprisingly, given the uproar that surrounded the Royal Rumble match back in 2014, nobody really remembers all that much from the rest of the show. However, this is a great pity, as the opening match of the card treated us to a minor classic.
Daniel Bryan took on Bray Wyatt in singles action, as a result of Bryan leaving the Wyatt Family just weeks earlier, and the results were enthralling. Wyatt proceeded to steal the show, however, producing his best work inside a WWE ring on that night.

The way he dominated Bryan and the sadistic manner in which he appeared to enjoy preying upon him really had the crowd believing that he was something to be afraid of. Bryan put in a fantastic performance, too, selling Wyatt's offence perfectly and getting the crowd behind him with ease.
The finishing sequence was something special, too - Bryan had built up a tonne of momentum, had the crowd roaring and was going for a Suicide Dive onto Wyatt, who was outside the ring. Wyatt, however, caught him and slammed Bryan's head into the barriers outside the ring with a vicious Sister Abigail.
He dragged a lifeless Bryan back into the ring and hit the move again, leading to Bray securing a genuinely huge victory. Wyatt and Bryan had amazing in-ring chemistry together, and it's a loss to the industry that they'll likely never fight each other again.
