For most superstars, falling out of the main event and entering into a program with Kane is a bit of a problem. Kane is an excellent performer, but has been around so long and been a part of so many bad storylines that he just isn’t in demand anymore, so the fans treat him as such. When he and Daniel Bryan paired up, though, it was absolute magic.

Both were involved in some capacity with new Raw GM AJ Lee throughout their main event run, so Lee utilized her newfound authority to punish both men for their treatment of her, sending them to an anger management class.

These skits could have easily been terrible, another failure in a long line of out-there angles with Kane, but Bryan and Kane, along with a solid supporting cast, delivered some of the most entertaining segments in RAW history.

Between their sessions with Dr Shelby, their famed segment “Hug it Out” segment, or their unorthodox budding friendship, they were both consistently great throughout their run together.

Their chemistry was so great that WWE decided to put the tag titles on them and give them a lengthy tag team run. They were also one of few teams that were effectively funny without letting it ruin their credibility as performers.

Despite their bickering over which of them was the true tag team champions, both still looked like legitimate main eventers, especially as they became central figures opposing the Shield.

As soon as the Shield debuted, they found themselves at odds with Team Hell No, with their debut TLC match alongside Ryback being an unquestioned success. The Shield and Team Hell No would continue to feud for months, with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins winning the tag titles from the odd couple of WWE.

After Wrestlemania, their feud added another famous tag partner of the Devil’s Favorite Demon, The Undertaker. Seeing Bryan stand alongside the Brothers of Destruction against the Shield was a sight to behold, as the past, present, and future of the business all shared the ring.

Eventually, Bryan began to view himself as the weak link and sought to prove himself as a legitimate main event talent, and in doing so catapulted himself into the stratosphere.
