Daniel Bryan has finally got his hands on the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after winning a triple-threat match at Wrestlemania XXX.
'The American Dragon', who had earlier defeated Triple H to earn his place in the bout, made Batista submit to the YES! Lock to the delight of the 75,000 fans in attendance in New Orleans.
Bryan, who was still nursing an injured shoulder from his previous encounter, had been on the end of outside interference from Triple H before he nailed 'The Game' with a sledgehammer.
Triple H was led to the back, but Batista and Randy Orton joined forces to drive Bryan through the announce table that left the leader of the YES! movement ready to be carted away on a stretcher.
However, Bryan returned to the ring and with Orton on the outside, Bryan hit the running knee on Batista before executing the YES! Lock that saw 'The Animal' tap out, meaning that Orton lost the belt without being involved in the conclusion.
