5 most shocking WWE Title changes

Even Seth Rollins seemed shocked after he cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania 31.

#1 Daniel Bryan’s Big Moment

Daneil Bryan knocked off Batista and Randy Orton for the world title at WrestleMania 30.

In hindsight, Daniel Bryan coming away from WrestleMania 30 as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion was the only way to go. He was immensely over with the crowd, and the moment was clearly as huge as WWE could’ve possibly hoped.

But the set-up to the match would’ve made his victory seem unlikely. In the months leading up to the event, the Authority had held Bryan back from the title. Further, at WrestleMania, he had to beat Triple H first just to qualify for the match against Batista and world champion Randy Orton. Of course, he did all that, and it created a truly raucous reaction from the crowd.
