Brock Lesnar vs Daniel Bryan
Survivor Series 2018 had quite a few exciting matchups on the main card, which featured the likes of Ronda Rousey, Seth Rollins, and Charlotte Flair. The PPV headliner, however, was a huge David vs. Goliath clash between Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar.

Much like this year's last-minute WWE title change between Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton, D-Bry also pulled-off a similar antic that year. On the last SmackDown before Survivor Series 2018, Bryan earned himself a shot at the WWE Championship just by getting into a heated exchange with then-champion AJ Styles.
In what was the main event of SmackDown, Bryan went on to defeat Styles, but not without heel shenanigans. With the referee knocked down, Bryan hit Styles with a low-blow and pinned him to win the WWE title. In the process, Bryan ended the WWE Universe's dream of witnessing a grand rematch between Styles and Lesnar and also solidified his heel turn.
Despite the replacement, Daniel Bryan proved in the main event of Survivor Series that he is more than capable of putting on classics.
