WWE History: 5 last minute changes that helped save storylines

#3 Daniel Bryan added to WrestleMania 30 main event

Bryan captured the WWE World Championship in 2014 as part of the Miracle on Bourbon Street

Although he may be one of the most hated men in WWE today, it wasn't too long ago that Daniel Bryan was universally beloved by the fans.

His all-time peak came in early 2014, as many were sure Bryan would win the Royal Rumble match, and get his chance to reclaim the title he had been screwed out of twice.

Instead, Batista won the 30-man match, and the WWE pitched Batista Vs. Randy Orton as the Mania main event.

Infuriated, the crowd booed both men, as Bryan's popularity soared even higher.

With no other option that wouldn't be hated, the WWE gave Bryan an in, defeating Triple H in the show's opener, and capturing the title in the main event, after making the Animal tap out.
