#2 Best: Bryan taking bumps again!

As our writer Gary Cassidy pointed out, Bryan must have been struggling to hide his smile

To those who believe that wrestling isn't pre-determined, this was a heinous attack. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens got into heel mode and took Daniel Bryan to task. And then, we saw something really awesome. Daniel Bryan started firing back!

On a night that should have been one of @WWEDanielBryan's finest...Sami & KO proved they are vile, spineless cowards. Neither of them belong in @WWE and #SDLive...I just hope this didn’t set back Daniel’s in-ring return even further.

Of course, he couldn't overcome the numbers, but in the moments that he struck back, we saw that Bryan hadn't missed a step. He bumped like only he can, as he put on an incredibly realistic and masterful performance. While the crowd usually cheers for the cool heels Owens and Zayn, this time, they completely booed the tandem.

Months of build had led up to this moment. We wonder if Daniel Bryan will team up with Shane McMahon to take on Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania, next month.
