Here Is My Daniel Bryan Caw On WWE 12 Mr. Money in the Bank (2011) On April 26, Bryan was drafted to the SmackDown brand as part of the 2011 Supplemental Draft.[118] Bryan debuted for the SmackDown brand on the May 6 episode, when he lost to Sheamus.[119] Cody Rhodes then started a feud with Bryan by attacking him after losing their match and placing a paper bag on his head. Bryan then aligned with Sin Cara to feud with Rhodes and Ted DiBiase.[120][121] On June 28, Bryan returned to NXT to manage Derrick Bateman once again.[122] On July 17 at Money in the Bank, Bryan won the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match which earned him a World Heavyweight Championship at any point within the following year.[19] On the July 22 episode of SmackDown, Bryan declared he would cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania XXVIII.[123] After several months of losing matches, Bryan began a feud with World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry. On November 4, Henry challenged Bryan to a non-title match to prove Bryan could not become champion. During the match, Big Show knocked out Henry, making him win by disqualification. Show, as a friend of Bryan, then urged a groggy Bryan to cash in his championship match but Henry recovered and attacked both Bryan and Show before the match could start.[124] After losing a rematch, Bryan suffered attacks from Henry the following two weeks.[125][126] On November 25, Henry was knocked out again by Big Show at which point Bryan cashed in his briefcase for a title match and quickly pinned Henry. However, SmackDown authority figure Teddy Long revealed that Henry was not medically cleared to compete and voided the match, so Henry remained champion and the briefcase was returned to Bryan.[127] Bryan later admitted he betrayed his principles by not waiting for WrestleMania, but explained he felt strongly about exacting revenge on Henry and realised he may not make it to WrestleMania due to Henry's continued attacks.[128][129] Regardless of his briefcase, Bryan won a four-way match on the same episode of SmackDown to become the contender for Henry's championship;.[130] however on the live November 29 SmackDown, Henry pinned Bryan to retain his title in a steel cage match.[131] Also in November, Bryan started being involved in a romantic storyline with AJ.[132][133] [edit] World Heavyweight Champion (2011--present) Bryan cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on December 18 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs against Big Show, who had just defeated Henry and subsequently received a DDT onto a steel chair, which allowed Bryan to secure a pinfall victory and become the World Heavyweight Champion.[134] In the following weeks, tension was teased between Bryan and Show, with Show unhappy about Bryan taking the world championship from him, and Bryan being displeased about Show's lack of appreciation for Bryan's help.[135] As world champion, Bryan started being overconfident and showed signs of success going to his head.[136] Bryan's first defense of his world title was against Show on the January 6, 2012 episode of Smackdown, where Bryan retained his title by disqualification when he goaded Mark Henry into attacking him.[137] The following week on SmackDown, Show received a rematch for the title contested under no disqualification, no count-out rules. Bryan again retained his title as the rematch ended in a no contest after Show accidentally crashed into AJ at ringside, injuring her.[138]
