10 Most Shocking WWE PPV Squash Matches Of All Time
5. Daniel Bryan Vs. Sheamus - WrestleMania XXVIII
Not a lot can happen in 18 seconds, particularly when it comes to wrestling matches. As such, the highly anticipated WrestleMania rematch between Daniel Bryan and Sheamus was hugely disappointing for both fans and talent alike.
Following the previous year's snub that saw the US Title match between DB and the Irishman dropped to the pre-show, expectation was high for the pair when they were booked to square off for the Big Gold Belt at WrestleMania XXVIII. Instead, the bell rang, Bryan kissed AJ Lee at ringside and ate a Brogue Kick. With that, the match was over.
An audience chanting "Yes" and an abundance of people holding "Yes" signs throughout the stadium were immediately left gobsmacked at the flagrant miscarriage of justice. Neither the blaring music of the victor or the exclamations of the commentators could hide the displeasure; it was audibly clear that those in attendance were not pleased.
Despite the brevity of the bout, the match itself proved to be a pivotal moment in Bryan's career. The conciseness of the match would cause outrage amongst the fans, prompting unbridled support for the former 'American Dragon'. As such, the bout at 'Mania proved to be a blessing in disguise and acted as a catalyst for the "Yes Movement" that followed.
