#9 Daniel Bryan (2012)
Daniel Bryan's story is no less than a fairytale. The short superstar kicked off his WWE journey in 2000 but left the company in 2001. He returned for a second stint in 2009 and went on to become the most popular superstar of the wrestling industry by 2014.
However, he had to retire from wrestling due to his injuries in 2016. Bryan took up the role of the General Manager of SmackDown Live then and continued in that position until 2018 before he was cleared by the medical team to return to in-ring competition. And here we are in 2019, where Daniel Bryan is once again at the top of the WWE.

But before he became popular amongst the WWE Universe, he had battled in the Elimination Chamber match of 2012 where he put his WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Santino Marella, Cody Rhodes, Wade Barrett, Big Show, and the Great Khali.
Bryan retained his title after winning that match and he would love to repeat his performance of 2012 once again this Sunday when he puts his WWE title on the line once again inside the Elimination Chamber.
