Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett

The SmackDown after SummerSlam carried a lot of emotions. Randy Orton was a newly turned heel and Daniel Bryan was the fan favorite suppressed by the company. Christian and Del Rio would have another go at it inside the squared circle after their SummerSlam classic.

Bryan was on a mission to prove the Authority wrong and was booked against Wade Barrett in a Steel Cage match. The match punished each men to their limits and Bryan gave one of the performances of his life when he pinned Barrett after almost 15 minutes.
