10 underappreciated WWE Matches

Minor spoiler alert: Daniel Bryan features on more than one occasion throughout the list

#7 John Cena vs Daniel Bryan – Summerslam 2013

Cena and Bryan put on a technical masterpiece at Summerslam

Understandably, WrestleMania 30 is hailed as the biggest night of Daniel Bryan's career. The image of him holding aloft both the WWE and World Heavyweight Title belts, having just defeated Batista and Randy Orton, will live on for eternity.

An unfortunate result of this, however, is that Bryan's original crowning moment has been forgotten by many. John Cena was the WWE Champion heading into Summerslam 2013, and had selected Daniel Bryan to be his challenger at the so-called "biggest party of the Summer".

What followed was one of Cena's best matches, as he and Bryan indulged in a very technical and entertaining match. Bryan came of age that night, even dominating Cena at certain points, screaming at him to get up before delivering more Yes Kicks.

After over half an hour of quality wrestling, Bryan debuted his Running Knee finisher and managed to pin Cena, becoming WWE Champion for the very first time. Confetti fell from the ceiling as Bryan, and the Staples Center celebrated an emotional ending to a truly phenomenal Summerslam main event.
