In June 2013, Daniel Bryan was on course to pick up one of the biggest victories of his WWE career in a No Disqualification match against Randy Orton on WWE RAW.

Unfortunately for “The Leader of the Yes Movement”, he suffered a stinger during the match and he could not feel his arms after landing a top-rope dropkick on his opponent.

Speaking through a headset, Triple H told WWE's medical doctor at ringside to end the match early but Bryan repeatedly ignored him and refused to stop competing.

"I had gotten a stinger in a match and lost feelings in both of my arms. I have a mentality of never stopping a match. Whether it's really good or really bad, that's my mentality." [H/T Opie Radio, via Wrestling Inc.]

Triple H ordered that the match must come to an end, with Orton being declared the winner. This angered Bryan, who confronted the 14-time WWE World Champion in the backstage area after the match.

"When I came back, I was hot. I don't want to say we got nose-to-nose, because he's six-three. We came pretty close. They're more conscious of protecting us from ourselves."

Bryan defeated Orton via countout at a WWE SmackDown taping one day later and the injury did not force him to take any time off.
