#2 Best: Daniel Bryan's opening salvo

Less than a year after you return from being told by doctors you'll never wrestle again, how do you get the WWE Universe to turn against you? You go out among them and call them out on being 'fickle'. Daniel Bryan is completely committed to his character and I thought he did a great job at the start of the show this week.

I loved the character work that Daniel Bryan did at the top of the show, this week. He made his way from the merch stand to the arena, through the crowd. On the way, he got a lot of his fans to turn on him and boo him strongly.

I really loved the fact that R-Truth came out and attacked Bryan to maintain continuity from two weeks ago. WWE is known to abandon this approach sometimes, and I'm glad such wasn't the case this week.
