Daniel Bryan was easily the hottest thing in professional wrestling in 2013. The Yes! Movement was at its peak and WWE had no option but to put Bryan in the main event. On an edition of Raw, John Cena handpicked Daniel Bryan to face him for the WWE Championship. The match was scheduled to take place at Summerslam 2013.

At the biggest event of the summer, the American Dragon defeated John Cena with Triple H as the special guest referee, ending the latter's reign at 133 days. The match was a pivotal point in Daniel Bryan's career it cemented him as the biggest babyface of the company.

John Cena worked the match despite an injury as he announced on the following night on Raw that he would be taking time off to undergo surgery for a triceps tear. The Cenation Leader's will to work the match despite a severe injury earned him the respect of even his harshest critics.
