However, Daniel Bryan had spent months taking losses in most of his matches. At this point, a feud between the World Heavyweight Champion, Mark Henry and Daniel Bryan ensued. Mark Henry was shown as confident of not being beaten by Daniel Bryan. However, the Big Show was involved in this feud as well and even attempted to get Daniel Bryan to cash in.

This led to a few matches as well as violent attacks by Mark Henry on Daniel Bryan. Things finally came to a head during the November 25 episode of Smackdown. Big Show knocked out Mark Henry allowing Daniel Bryan to quickly cash in and pin Henry for the Title. General Manager had this decision overturned claiming Henry was not medically cleared to compete and handed the briefcase back to Daniel Bryan as well. Bryan eventually would successfully cash in the briefcase against Big Show at TLC in December the same year.
