[2014-02-03-WWE-Raw] Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

This is the first of a five-match series Orton has against his Elimination Chamber match opponents for being so fucking high-maintenance towards the Authority. Excellent match of course. D-Bry worked on the left leg over and over again, but Orton would damage D-Bry's right shoulder to get the heat back and gain control. Now without any help, D-Bry FINALLY gets his major non-gimmick match victory over Orton. This didn't have the crowd energy of their previous Raw match, but this was great stuff, with phenomenal storytelling and the drama building as the match progressed. ****

Their 12/16/13 match is the greatest TV match in WWE history, but this is top-5, too. Fantastic dueling limb work, Orton's work on Bryan's arm especially looked vicious, and Bryan sold it very well. These 2 had such a fantastic chemistry with each other. ****3/4
