#1 Daniel Bryan at WWE SummerSlam in 2013

At WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view in 2013, Daniel Bryan defeated John Cena to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. It was another moment of celebration as confetti rained down following the conclusion of the match.

Leading into the match, John Cena hand-picked Daniel Bryan to be his opponent. The McMahon family disapproved of Bryan as they felt he wasn't their typical WWE champion.

Triple H, on the other hand, was pro-Bryan. Eventually, Triple H was named as the special guest referee for the match and Bryan went on to defeat Cena.

As the confetti continued to reign down following the match, Triple H raised Bryan's hand and then proceeded to deliver a Pedigree to Bryan. This stunned the WWE Universe. Out of nowhere, Randy Orton came down the aisle with his Money in the Bank briefcase and cashed-in to immediately end Daniel Bryan's celebrations.

This moment sparked the start of the YES! Movement, in which the WWE Universe was against The Authority for holding Daniel Bryan down. It became one of the most fan-participated storylines in the history of WWE that culminated at WrestleMania 30.
