He got the YES! from Vince McMahon
Shortly after winning the World Heavyweight Championship in 2011, Bryan found his confidence, turning into a cocky heel, who celebrated every small victory in an over-the-top fashion.
According to Bryan, the idea for the YES! chant came from McMahon.
"The one thing he did want was for me to be the happiest guy in the world as champion. Every time I went out, I had to treat it as if I had won the lottery. ‘In this instance, there’s no such thing as too over-the-top,’ he said"
