“I do know that they are both very talented. It does not surprise me one bit that they have phenomenal matches, that they can continue to have something very special and consistent through the years because they’re both very talented.” – Shawn Michaels on CM Punk and Daniel Bryan
A couple of years ago, Punk wasn’t seen as a main eventer, but as an above mid card performer. But in ’11, Punk changed all of that with his ‘Summer of Punk’ storyline, which saw him becoming the hottest superstar of the year and resulted in him holding the WWE championship for a record 434 days, the longest in over 25 years!
CM Punk became the number two guy in the company, and the biggest superstar for quite a while. With CM Punk now being the franchise player in the WWE, one can say that he grabbed the opportunity he received with both hands and elevated himself in the company.

Daniel Bryan is quite similar to CM Punk, whether it is in size, background or wrestling skills. Both the performers were given little to no chance of making it big in the global organization, but they slugged it out and became the top names in WWE.
Daniel Bryan now finds himself on the verge of breaking the proverbial ‘glass ceiling’, as he has done what no one was able to since the ‘Summer of Punk’ storyline, and that is to captivate the imagination of the WWE Universe and the wrestling fans alike. Daniel Bryan is the most beloved superstar in WWE today, and one believes that with a good storyline and some faith in Bryan, he can be the breakout star of the year!
Everyone witnessed what can happen if WWE believes in an individual, as displayed by their faith in CM Punk. We have to wait and see if Daniel Bryan will be able to something similar and start a new revolution.
