I think there has to be an element of fighting from underneath and achieving a new level with every victory. Daniel Bryan did that, but I think Stone Cold Steve Austin was always accepted as "black belt" level in WWE once he first became WWE Champion.

Sami Zayn is absolutely tremendous at being an underdog. Perhaps one of the best ever. This will obviously become more clear as his career attains more longevity, but his program with Cesaro and chase of the NXT Title are perfect examples of underdog storytelling.
