The American Dragon has won a lot of matches during his career, but he has also lost many times. It is normal to remember his defeats against Roman Reigns, Sheamus, Randy Orton or Kofi Kingston, but there are several wrestlers that maybe you forgot defeated Bryan Danielson in a singles match, so let's take a look at 10 of them.

10 William Regal

William Regal vs Daniel Bryan

William Regal and Bryan Danielson have a long story together, and they continue to add chapters to their story with the formation of the Blackpool Combat Club in AEW, but you probably forgot that Regal defeated Danielson in a singles match.

On the April 13, 2010, episode of NXT, William Regal and Daniel Bryan faced off, though unfortunately the bout lasted just over a minute. Bryan showed defiance and ferocity, but that wasn't enough to survive against Regal, who only needed a powerful Knee Trembler.

9 R-Truth

Daniel Bryan R-Truth

Believe it or not, R-Truth has a singles win over Daniel Bryan, which occurred during the August 27, 2012, edition of Monday Night Raw. The match was entertaining, with good in-ring action, but suddenly R-Truth took a microphone and incited the fans to chant “YES! YES! YES! YES!”, which made Bryan take the mic to shout “NO, NO, NO”.

Therefore, Bryan completely forgot about the match, so he lost by count out. This has to be one of the stupidest defeats of Bryan's career.

8 Sin Cara

Remember the two Sin Caras? Well surprisingly Bryan Danielson lost to both of them. First, he lost to Sin Cara (Mistico) on the May 13, 2011, episode of SmackDown - a very good match by the way.

On August 30 on SmackDown, Daniel Bryan lost to Sin Cara (Hunico), and on September 23 on SmackDown he lost to Sin Cara (Mistico) again. It is evident that Daniel Bryan had a hard time with the high-flying moves of his masked opponents.

7 Ted DiBiase Jr.

It was a pretty good bout, with back-and-forth action for over 10 minutes, with Danielson dominating and DiBiase countering. The bout ended when DiBiase hit his Dream Street on Danielson for the win.

6 Darren Young

Darren Young vs Daniel Bryan

Truth be told, Darren Young had a lackluster WWE career, being remembered mostly for teaming with Titus O'Neil (The Prime Time Players). Young didn't have many career accomplishments, but he can say that he defeated Bryan Danielson in a singles match, and that’s saying something.

On April 6, 2010, on NXT, Darren Young needed less than two minutes to defeat Daniel Bryan, who was dominating the short match, but Darren Young got a sudden victory.

5 Damien Sandow

Damien Sandow vs Daniel Bryan

Damien Sandow has two wins over Daniel Bryan in singles action. The first time was during the October 26, 2012, episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Sandow defeated Bryan, who was hurt after an attack by Cody Rhodes at ringside.

Months later, on a Main Event episode, Sandow again defeated Bryan, this time Bryan was distracted by Kane, so Sandow hit a neckbreaker, and pinned Bryan for the 1-2-3.

4 Erick Rowan

On the September 24, 2019, edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Erick Rowan defeated Daniel Bryan in a singles match. Even though this happened in recent years, many people have already forgotten about it, which is a shame because this match was actually quite enjoyable.

Bryan looked great during the match, he was in control, but got distracted by Luke Harper, which allowed Erick Rowan to perform The Iron Claw on Bryan for the win. After the match Roman Reigns showed up to help Bryan, fighting both Rowan and Harper.

3 Jamie Noble

People often forget that Bryan Danielson participated in a few WWE matches in the early 2000s. On January 18, 2003, on an episode of Velocity, Danielson faced off against Jamie Noble. Although Danielson was a bit green, his extraordinary talent was evident, even if no one imagined then that he would seriously be one of the all-time greats.

Jamie Noble did not look bad either and managed to defeat Bryan Danielson in just under seven minutes.

2 Koji Kanemoto

Koji Kanemoto and the American Dragon faced each other in singles action on one occasion, on July 12, 2004, at NJPW Best Of The Super Junior XI. This was an excellent match that no one talks about. The storytelling was top-notch, and both competitors did a very good job overall.

There were some very good sequences, with grappling maneuvers and cool technical work. In the end, Kanemoto was the winner and advanced to the finals, where he was defeated by Tiger Mask.

1 Michael Tarver

Michael Tarver vs Daniel Bryan

You probably don't remember Michael Tarver, who worked for WWE in 2010, but quickly fell off the radar. Tarver only had five singles matches in WWE, and incredibly his only two singles wins in the company were over Daniel Bryan.

Tarver's first victory came on the May 4, 2010, episode of NXT, and three months later, on Monday Night Raw, Michael Tarver defeated Daniel Bryan again, this time in just two minutes.
