#1 Changing The Game

Daniel Bryan along with CM Punk was the main catalyst behind the WWE making drastic changes in the company policy after a disastrous run from 2009 to 2012.

However, things started to change in 2011 with the Rock's return and the summer of Punk. But it was Daniel Bryan's feud with the Authority that forced Vince McMahon into changing and accepting the new reality where a top star was not an overly muscled and jacked-up performer, but an in-ring performer who could make the fans gasp like Shawn Michaels once did.
