The Game delivering a Pedigree to Bryan
By the time TLC 2013 was on the horizon, Daniel Bryan had been sent back to the mid-card and the fans weren't having any of it.

In a Raw segment that involved a bunch of former World champions, Bryan was cheered heavily to the point that Triple H looked legitimately pissed, and not in kayfabe.
The segment was a way to promote John Cena vs Randy Orton at the PPV. Triple H kicked off the segment with a failed attempt at addressing the crowd. The crowd began chanting for Bryan loudly, as he took it all in, with Mark Henry encouraging the fans to cheer more.
At one point, Triple H's face displayed genuine anger over the consistent interruption, and it took his friend Shawn Michaels' plea to stop the fans and get the segment rolling. This was an indication that fans badly wanted Bryan in the main event scene.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
