Bryan Danielson / Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt, from WWE Royal Rumble 2014

Bryan had learned how to have a good match with a broomstick five years before this match, so of course this is all sorts of great. Wyatt has a great sense of theater, but the big difference between the awesome Bray Wyatt of 2014 and the lackluster Bray Wyatt of later comes down to conveyed motivation. He moves with purpose and menace; he's doing more than "getting his spots in". Together, Bryan and Wyatt control their heat like a stove, bringing the crowd with them on a wild roller coaster. I would have been quite receptive to a PPV rematch.
