#4 The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan - Night of Champions 9/19/2010
Daniel Bryan, the guy that everybody said did not belong, spent the beginning of his WWE career proving them all wrong. He was eliminated early on from the inane NXT competition with The Miz as his “pro” and was released from WWE after the tie choking incident with ring announcer Justin Roberts.
He returned in spectacular fashion at SummerSlam and just two months later he would become United States Champion by defeating The Miz.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
Miz, along with Michael Cole, were Bryan’s most vocal detractors. In the end, it was Daniel Bryan who got the last laugh. Thanks to his involvement with Bryan, The Miz gained significant legitimacy as a singles competitor that had once eluded him.
This match was a specific turning point, as it occurred at a big pay-per-view event that had a raucous crowd. Both men became higher profile stars at Night of Champions 2010 thanks to their great performance.
