7 WWE Superstars Who Defied The Odds of 'Making It'

These guys had a dream and worked to achieve it
Daniel Bryan lived the classic underdog story, and triumphed

1: Daniel Bryan

Bryan has said time and time again that he was always told that he wouldn’t make it. The story of defying the odds never gets old and Bryan was the best in his underdog role. Being the underdog and working against the grain resulted in the “Yes!” Movement, which had revolutionized Bryan’s career and the course in WWE. He wasn’t supposed to make it that far, but yet he did. The “Yes! Movement“ was that powerful, and without it, we wouldn’t have seen his culminating moment at WrestleMania 30 winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. It was a perfect storm for Bryan and his career.
