5 times WWE fans took over the show

#2 John Cena-Randy Orton Championship Ascension Ceremony

By the time 2014 came around, the WWE Universe was as ready as ever to see Daniel Bryan become World Champion. The Yes Movement had gained huge amounts of momentum, and Bryan was getting incredibly loud reactions on a weekly basis. On an episode of RAW, WWE had a Championship Ascension Ceremony between John Cena and Randy Orton. The ceremony featured Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and a bunch of former World Champions including Bryan.

Triple H addressed the crowd during the segment, but fans were focused on Bryan and no one else. The arena erupted with chants of Daniel Bryan, as Triple H struggled to continue with his promo. It seemed at the time that The Game was frustrated at being interrupted by the crowd, and it took Shawn Michaels' plea to the fans to stop the chants. The segment ended with Triple H attacking Orton after The Viper accidentally hit Stephanie. WWE would go on to listen to the fans and give Bryan his well-deserved moment at The Show of Shows.

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.
