5 Times Fans Have Had Power in the WWE

Yes Movement

WrestleMania 30 was a big show representing 30 years of the largest show of the year for WWE. When looking back at this Mania, everyone thinks of one moment first, and that is Daniel Bryan winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

The fans fought by his side the entire time. The odds were consistently stacked against Danielson, but with the fans’ power, he was able to overcome them. After getting screwed over by the authority repeatedly, the fans had had enough and made sure to stick by Danielson’s side.

Fans would repeatedly chant “Yes” or “Daniel Bryan” during segments that wouldn’t even involve Bryan. They didn’t let WWE have a choice in whether or not Bryan was going to be successful in the company, because they made the decision for them. The WWE Universe wanted Daniel Bryan.

Come WrestleMania 30, the “B+ player” won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WrestleMania by defeating both Randy Orton and Batista. This is something every wrestler dreams of doing. The fans are what made it possible for Danielson.
