5 Greatest Rivalries In The History Of WWE

#4 Daniel Bryan vs The Authority

It was this moment which started it

Daniel Bryan was one of the most over babyfaces back in 2013. On an episode of Raw, John Cena, then WWE Champion was given a choice to whom he would like to face at SummerSlam. Cena set his opponent as Daniel Bryan and later it was announced that the referee will be none other than Triple H. At SummerSlam, Bryan defeated Cena in a classic and was later screwed by Triple H who turned heel and pedigreed him followed by a cash-in from Money in the Bank holder Randy Orton who became the WWE Champion. Later, Triple H formed the Authority and later added Kane to it.

The Authority always tried to prove to Daniel that he was a B+ player whereas they wanted A players to hold WWE Championship. Since then, Daniel faced Randy for the championship and was always screwed by Authority and even Shawn Michaels at Hell In A Cell who superkick him for attacking his best friend Triple H.

Later, the returning Batista won the Royal Rumble whereas Daniel Bryan was losing to Bray Wyatt. He again fought for WWE Championship inside Elimination Chamber and was again screwed by Kane(Authority Member). On an episode of Raw, he started the Yes Movement against the Authority and asked for a match at WrestleMania against Triple H and if he won, he is added to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between Batista and Randy Orton. He won the match against Triple H and in the main event, he completed his dream of becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

The story felt so true and believable. A man who wanted to fulfil his dreams fights his way to become a WWE Champion in the main event of WrestleMania 30.
