* '''October 2, 2013''': After ShawnMichaels gives a rather paltry "Triple H is my friend above all else" excuse for his actions at Hell in the Cell, Bryan's invited out to accept his handshake of apology. After refusing it the first time, Shawn tells him the kick was meant as a finishing lesson: Don't trust ANYONE in the business of professional wrestling, whether it be friend, family, or spouse. After refusing the handshake a second time, HBK snaps and calls out Bryan for being a "self-righteous little puke" and demands that he show respect shake the hand of a real "A-plus player" in Shawn. Bryan does...and shows what a quick learner he is by ''locking The Showstopper in the YES! Lock and making the Hall of Famer tap!''

* '''September 16, 2013''': The main event of the night was the recently stripped Daniel Bryan against the WWE tag team champion Roman Reigns. He managed to take out every member of The Shield before locking in the crossface onto Reigns, but Orton interfered ending the match by DQ. The four of them started attacking Bryan like they had done the past few weeks. Earlier in the night Orton put Miz into the hospital by putting a chair on his neck and breaking it. He planned to do the same thing to Bryan, but all the faces spilled out of the locker room and dove into the ring to make the long-awaited save. Orton ran for his dear life while everyone else gave The Shield a little taste of their own medicine. The night ended with all the wrestlers standing in the ring and every single person in the arena chanting "YES!" "YES!" "YES!"

** The kicker out of all of this? The crowd was ''completely'' on Bryan's side throughout the segment. Getting everyone on your side against, arguably, one of the most admired, respected performers in pro wrestling is an awesome moment in itself.

* '''September 9, 2013''': Bryan ''finally'' getting one-up on Randy Orton. Despite a grueling contest with Dean Ambrose, taking a post-match Shield beating AND a RKO, he found the strength to get back up and ''drill'' Orton with the same Busaiku knee he won the WWE Championship with in the first place, hoisting said championship over a prone Orton. This happens in no small part thanks to The Big Show, who stalled Orton long enough for Bryan to recover.

* '''WWE Summerslam, August 15 2010:''' The show's main event is a seven-on-seven elimination match between a team of WWE all-stars and Wrestling/TheNexus, and Team WWE has a one-man deficit. Earlier in the show, Wrestling/TheMiz accepted Cena's offer of joining Team WWE; later, he comes out during the Team WWE entrances and looks to be the final man for the team. Cena stops him as he makes his entrance, however, and informs Miz that he took too long deciding whether or not to join the team, and that he'd found someone else in that time. Daniel Bryan comes out, and the cheers of millions of nerds causes the internet to explode. And in what was both his WWE return match and his WWE PPV debut (''in the main event of the second biggest show of the year'', no less!), "[=AmDrag=]" made sure to leave his mark - in this case, by completely owning both Darren Young and Heath Slater in about a minute each, and making it all the way to the final four.

* '''July 22, 2013''': Put in a gauntlet match by Raw GM Brad Maddox, Bryan first faced JackSwagger, taking him down in a short, but physical match by tapping him out with the YES! Lock. Next, he'd face the other half of the "Real Americans" Wrestling/AntonioCesaro. What would ensue was the most physically brutal match I've ever seen on Raw between Bryan and Cesaro. Cesaro at one point laced into Bryan with '''20''' European uppercuts ''in a row'' followed by a clothesline that ''flipped Bryan for a 360'' and nearly took his head off. How did Bryan respond? By trapping Cesaro in an Indian Deathlock and ''pounding him repeatedly with vicious forearms.'' Bryan pulled off the win with an amazing counter of Cesaro's mid-air uppercut into a small package for the three count. And while he was essentially spent for his 3rd match with {{Ryback}}, Bryan persevered, countering a Thesz Press into a Single-Leg Crab, nailing a top-rope dropkick that floored the big man, and countering the Meathook clothesline with a knee ''straight'' into Ryback's face that nearly knocked him out.

** The real crowner? While Cena ultimately played hero and drove Ryback away after the big man powerbombed Bryan through a table, Bryan fought back up from 30+ minutes of wrestling and being driven through a table to get back in the ring and receive a standing ovation from the crowd with his music playing to close out the show. If one counts the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk8ghJiSqMQ subsequent dark match]] (a six-man tag) then although he had a rest break after the televised main event, Bryan wrestled for even ''longer'' live!

** The spot with Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} could essentially be a FunnyAneurysmMoment since Sheamus received a heavy bruise on his leg and a torn labrum that will take him out for 6 months. Full payback for 18 Seconds?

* '''July 22, 2013''': Put in a gauntlet match by Raw GM BradMaddox, Bryan first faced JackSwagger, taking him down in a short, but physical match by tapping him out with the YES! Lock. Next, he'd face the other half of the "Real Americans" AntonioCesaro. What would ensue was the most physically brutal match I've ever seen on Raw between Bryan and Cesaro. Cesaro at one point laced into Bryan with '''20''' European uppercuts ''in a row'' followed by a clothesline that ''flipped Bryan for a 360'' and nearly took his head off. How did Bryan respond? By trapping Cesaro in an Indian Deathlock and ''pounding him repeatedly with vicious forearms.'' Bryan pulled off the win with an amazing counter of Cesaro's mid-air uppercut into a small package for the three count. And while he was essentially spent for his 3rd match with {{Ryback}}, Bryan persevered, countering a Thesz Press into a Single-Leg Crab, nailing a top-rope dropkick that floored the big man, and countering the Meathook clothesline with a knee ''straight'' into Ryback's face that nearly knocked him out.

* '''July 9, 2013''': "The Summer of the Beard" rolls right along with highlights at the beginning and end of the RAW broadcast. The first being Bryan getting into a brutal bout with Sheamus not at all unlike their Extreme Rules match from last year, this time though surprising the Irishman by ''powering out of the Cloverleaf'' with ALL 265 lbs of Sheamus bearing down on him and small packaging Sheamus for 3! The next would be following the Orton/Punk main event, with Bryan laying out both men and climbing the ladder to take down the briefcase as a confident sign of his victory at MITB this Sunday. [[RunningGag Again]], crowd going nuts with YES! chants as this happens.

* '''Money In The Bank, July 14, 2013''': While Curtis Axel did ultimately screw him out of a victory, Bryan was a downright '''BEAST''' in the match. Nailing Orton with a running dropkick into a ladder, suicide diving onto Punk on a pile of ladders ''and springing up without a scratch'', and subverting Sheamus' usual "drive a small guy through a ladder" spot, kicking the Irishman off the turnbuckle and causing him to crash through a bridged ladder on the outside.

* '''June 24, 2013''': Daniel Bryan faces Randy Orton in a Street Fight, with chairs, tables and a Singapore cane getting used. At one point, Bryan had Orton in the NO! Lock, but Orton was able to get to the Singapore Cane and hit Bryan enough times to break the hold. At the end, Bryan had Orton in the NO! Lock again, with Orton again using the Singapore cane, but Bryan grabbed the cane, and still holding Orton in the NO! Lock, placed the cane where his hands would go with Orton clearly in pain until he had no choice but to tap out. As Bryan led the crowd in the "YES!" chant, Orton interrupted, shook Bryan's hand, and left. The show ended with the crowd continuing the "YES!" chant.
