#1 Daniel Bryan beats The Miz in an "I Quit" Match at WrestleMania
The build-up to this match involves all the promo elements from the Summerslam build along with added violent interactions between the two. One week, Bryan and The Miz take part in a Beat The Clock Challenge to determine who will choose the stipulation for their WrestleMania match. It is also determined that the loser of this match would move to Raw in the post-Mania Superstar Shakeup since they cannot contain each other.
The Miz beats Tye Dillinger in about six minutes before Daniel Bryan faces Andrade 'Cien' Almas in the main event of Smackdown. They have a supremely quick and competitive match which ends in a little less than six minutes, meaning that Bryan wins the challenge and would choose the stipulation for their final encounter.

He chooses an “I Quit” Match. A match that requires innovation, brutality and technical skill. Bryan goes on to bury The Miz and say that he will have no idea what hit him at MetLife Stadium when this little Goatface shuts his big mouth up.
Over the coming weeks, we hear less from Miz on the microphone and see more assaults on Daniel Bryan. He uses weapons in the ring and backstage, even debuting a new Submission Hold. As we get to WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan gets a standard entrance while The Miz gets one which is flashy as ever.
The two of them just destroy each other with steel chairs, kendo sticks, trash cans, tables and other weapons. It is twice as brutal as their first match at Summerslam was. Both Bryan and Miz get their periods of domination during the fight with both of them showing admirable resiliency.
The Miz uses the same cheating technique he used to beat Bryan and Styles, only this time it is legal. He has his submission on Bryan, who is a mess, and grabs a kendo stick for added pressure. But then suddenly, Bryan reverses it and locks in the “Yes!” Lock with the kendo stick. After a minute of trying to get out, The Miz gives in and says the words “I quit!”.
Daniel Bryan has climbed back to the top of the sports entertainment mountain and is leaving WrestleMania with the WWE Championship! For The Miz, it was words from his own mouth which completed his downfall. A poetic end to the best feud in recent WWE history, with the returning hero conquering his biggest enemy to win it all.
