You weren't supposed to get this Diary. Be it by his fortune or bureaucratic design, all signs suggested Daniel Bryan would surface at  WrestleMania 30 in a competitive yet far less marquee role. A contender for show-stealer but not positioned to make history. A mid-event blip on the radar of the WWE Universe during the 30th edition of The Show of Shows.

In stature (5-foot-10), diet (former vegan) and grooming (woolier than The Berzerker), Daniel Bryan is everything WWE's top champion has never resembled. But, should he overcome Triple H, then both Batista and Randy Orton, Bryan – the man who ate foot prior to an  18-second flop at WrestleMania XXVIII – will raise up the dual symbols of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the most emphatic "Yes!" succession yet.

Bryan's true ring origins | The story of the "Yes!" Movement in explained in three minutes

This Sunday, April 6, three decades of WrestleMania culminate simultaneous with a squared circle Manifest Destiny, a Movement. The Face of WWE may soon enough be a bit more bewhiskered, as a potential fairy tale (complete with chivalrous man-faun) unfolds before you on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
