One of the most iconic matches of the decade (even if it did lag way too long way too many times), it was the culmination of a rebellion that finally forced WWE to change direction, giving its fans a feel-good moment that will never be forgotten.

To add to the drama before the match even began, Daniel Bryan's arm was injured, and was made worse by Triple H earlier in the night, and it looked like it was taking him out of contention early.

Triple H and Stephanie made their presence known in the match, pulling the referee out of the ring when Bryan had the Yes Lock on Orton and bringing in their handpicked referee to do their bidding. It looked over when Batista landed the Batista Bomb on Bryan, but the latter kicked out.

He would kick referee Scott Armstrong out of the ring and suicide dive onto Armstrong, Triple H, and Stephanie, taking them all out. A shot with a sledgehammer finished Triple H off for good, but Bryan would soon be facing a combined assault form Batista and Orton.

A combination of a Batista Bomb with an RKO through an announce table looked like it ended Bryan's ability to participate in the match. A stretcher came out.

The match slowed to a crawl from here until the end sequences, where we saw Daniel Bryan win the title and got perhaps the most iconic closing to a WrestleMania this decade.
