On this particular night, the odds were certainly stacked against Daniel Bryan. After months of ridicule and constant criticism from Triple H and the Authority, Bryan now found himself with his back against the wall, because not only did he have to face John Cena for the WWE Championship, he also had to contend with the fact that the same detractor, Triple H, as the special a guest referee, not to mention there was a Viper lurking someone nearby impatiently waiting to cash in his Money In The Bank contract at even the slightest of opportunities.
John Cena and Daniel Bryan gave the fans a match worthy of a curtain call. This bout could have easily gone in either competitors’ favor and would've been just as historic. However, the ball bounced into Daniel Bryans court one too many times and when the bell rang, the WWE had a new champion and his name was that of the supposed "B player," the ‘American Dragon’....Daniel Bryan. Unfortunately, just as the celebration began, Triple H kept his word and planted Daniel Bryan with an unexpected Pedigree, allowing Randy Orton a chance to slither in and cash in his contract, pin the newly crowned champion and take the title as the show came to a close.
