4. WWE Championship: John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan – 2013
The most exciting match of 2013 was also the main event of SummerSlam. This match was a complete clash in ideologies, and the WWE seemed to have finally given fans what they wanted in a Daniel Bryan win, before Randy Orton cashed in his Money In The Bank contract and walked out with the WWE Championship.
While the Yes Movement was in full effect during this stretch, this was the night that the phenomenon caught lightning in a bottle. From that point, fans were white hot for Bryan, and in April 2014, they’d finally get their payoff when the G.O.A.T. defeated Batista and Randy Orton to claim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXX.
