The 10 iconic WWE images that define the last decade

#7 Daniel Bryan wins the World Title at WrestleMania XXX

In 2014, Daniel Bryan's voice was finally heard by people around the world and even by WWE, as 'The Leader of the Yes Movement' pretty much had the support of the entire WWE Universe and was on a mission to prove that he was not a 'B+ Player' that Triple H had billed him as.

Bryan's Yes Movement also saw him and his multiple fans occupy the ring on the 10th March episode of RAW, as it left an irate Triple H with no other option but to agree with Bryan's demand for a match at WrestleMania XXX.

At the event, Bryan defeated Triple H in order to insert himself into the WWE World Championship match between Randy Orton and Batista and despite notable interferences from The Authority and double team-ups between Orton and Batista, Bryan managed to overcome all the odds and capture the WWE World Title in the main event of 'Mania 30.

Bryan, winning the title against the odds is an underdog story that everybody still loves to talk about.
