#3 Desperation to win the WWE Championship
If there is one goal each WWE star strives towards, it is to earn and win the WWE Championship. Possibly the most prestigious title in the company given its long history and list of title holders, every WWE Superstar yearns and dreams of someday lifting the Championship.
Daniel Bryan has won the WWE Championship 3 separate times on previous occasions and he knows exactly the adrenaline rush and the pride that winning the title accompanies. For the longest time since coming back, he has tried to get back into the title picture.
Having lost the last time he tried to win the title, not taking a chance this time makes sense. The sheer desperation to win back the title that had once been his was too much for him to throw away the only chance that he had.
Thus, when he finally got the chance, he took it without wasting the opportunity.
