ven though, earlier in the night, Triple H had offered Daniel Bryan the chance to face any member of The Shield he wished, the former WWE Champion opted to place that choice in the court of The Hounds of Justice. While it looked for a moment like it would be Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins secured the spot with a sneak attack from behind at the last second.But Bryan would overcome. Despite a fierce opposition – not only from his opponent, but also from the other two Hounds of Justice – the No. 1 Contender to the WWE Title scored the important victory with an authoritative high knee. However, as Bryan celebrated at the top of the ramp, leading the WWE Universe in a “YES!” chant, WWE Champion Randy Orton attacked him with the title, leaving his Night of Champions adversary in a world of hurt as he held championship gold above his head.
