5 best babyfaces of the PG era

#1 Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan defeated Randy Orton and Batista at Wrestlemania 30.

There was no question about it. Daniel Bryan has the most emotional connection with the WWE universe. Even after 2 years of hiatus from wrestling, his fan base did not die out. In 2013-14, he produced many stone cold level pops. He was so popular among the WWE universe that an adamant Vince McMahon had to change the main event of Wrestlemania 30. The reaction when he defeated John Cena at Summerslam 2013 was surreal.

The biggest reason for his success is his organic connection with the crowd. The support from the WWE universe lifted him from being a jobber to one of the most important guys in the roster.
