Top 5 most unexpected WWE moments of 2018

#4 Daniel Bryan eventually turned heel by metamorphosing into the NEW Daniel Bryan

Who thought Daniel Bryan would transform into one of the biggest antagonists of SmackDown Live?

Unlike Dean Ambrose's eventual heel turn, nobody would have even predicted that Daniel Bryan would be the one to lead SmackDown Live as a remarkable heel champion in 2018.

The former YES Man seemed to have struck a chord with fans after his career peaked at WrestleMania 30, where he overcame all odds to be crowned WWE World Heavyweight Champion at last.

But we all know what happened after that...

Despite Daniel Bryan's career resurgence in 2018, he could never quite capture the intensity, popularity, and momentum we had witnessed during his peak years in the company.

Eventually, frustration set in, and one of the company's most popular babyfaces transformed into the NEW Daniel Bryan who has now adopted a bizarre routine of channeling his frustrations by pointing out the mistakes of mankind and how those mistakes are poisoning this earth as years pass us by.

From experiencing the feeling of being one of the most insanely popular babyfaces which only the likes of The Rock, Stone Cold, Hulk Hogan, and a few others have been accustomed to, and now, by portraying some of the most innovative heel-work the company has ever seen, Daniel Bryan is one of the only few wrestlers to experience both sides of the divide.
