#4 Daniel Bryan - WWE
Trending
Daniel Bryan signed with WWE in 2000 to a developmental contract. Despite being close to a call-up, he never made it to the main roster. He would resign with the company and spend a few months in their developmental system before the introduction of WWE NXT. After the first season of the original NXT, Bryan was a part of the Nexus debut in their assault on John Cena, CM Punk and others.
Daniel Bryan was caught up in the moment during their attack and choked ring announcer Justin Roberts with his tie. Due to this action, Bryan was fired from WWE. After a short run on the independent scene, he returned to the promotion after just two months at Summerslam 2010 to face his fellow Nexus members.

Daniel Bryan made the most of this opportunity when he won the WWE United States Championship the following month over his NXT "mentor" The Miz. After losing the title and heading over to the SmackDown brand in 2011, Bryan won the Money In The Bank contract and went on to cash it in on the Big Show at TLC 2011 to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
This led to a heel turn and the creation of the Yes Movement as Bryan celebrated victories with his signature taunts and catchphrases. Following his loss to the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 28, Bryan formed Team Hell No with Kane and won WWE Tag Team gold. This only elevated the complete package that Daniel Bryan would transform into.
After a lengthy battle against The Authority, Daniel Bryan would achieve his biggest prize to date, winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after beating Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista in one night at WrestleMania XXX. Despite a false start and a short first official stint, Bryan made the most of his second stint with WWE.
