Daniel Bryan had all the talent in the world to be a world-class wrestler, yet no one was giving him a shot at reaching the top of the ladder in the Land of Giants called WWE. This is what made his Money in the Bank victory in 2011 so special. On an event that is fondly remembered as the day, CM Punk finally reached the top of the WWE Ladder, Daniel Bryan started his ascent up that same ladder.

Just like CM Punk in 2009, the victory started a slow-burning heel turn for The American Dragon. After winning the World Heavyweight Title from Big Show at TLC, Bryan initiated the Yes chants that he is still associated with till this day. Although Bryan lost the title to Sheamus in a humiliating way at 'Mania 28, he subsequently had a phenomenal program with CM Punk, formed a fun team with Kane and, of course, won the title in the main event of Summerslam 2013 and 'Mania 30.

#2 Seth Rollins (2014)

The win that made Seth Rollins the megastar.

The Shield dissolution in 2014 was both one of the most shocking and the best thing that could have happened in WWE back then. Not only did it make way for three exceptional superstars' singles run, it also initiated one of the most stunning heel run in the past 10 years. The culprit - Seth Rollins- was already a star before that, but a monumental win at Money in the Bank 2014 turned him into the megastar that he is now.

His program with Dean Ambrose, that ran from mid-2014 to mid-2015, was the best rivalry in WWE in that period. As the face of the Authority, Rollins set the whole world on fire by cashing in the contract in the main event of WrestleMania 31 to win the title in the heist of the century. Holding the title for over 7 months, Rollins wrestled and outlasted various wrestlers like Randy Orton and John Cena before vacating the title due to injury.
