YES! YES! YES! Daniel Bryan is hot as the sun right now, and was the Raw crowd's clear choice to face John Cena for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Now he just has to capitalize.
Ever since he was beaten by Sheamus in 18 seconds at WrestleMania XXVIII, fans have been behind Bryan. Perhaps it was sheer anger at what WWE did in that match, or perhaps it was the immediate character change. Regardless, Bryan is, by far, the most popular wrestler in WWE today.
And after being selected as the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship, he jumps two spots this week to, well, the No. 2 spot. That was a weird sentence.
