1. Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan (World Title - WrestleMania XXVIII)
A timeless classic, for all the wrong reasons! Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Title should have started WrestleMania XXVIII with a bang, but it was instead one quick thump that ended the contest. Distracted by his then-girlfriend AJ Lee, Bryan turned round only to be met with a big Brogue Kick. Pinned immediately, the entire match was less than 20 seconds in length. There weren't a lot of folks happy with the outcome of this one. Not only was it Daniel Bryan on the receiving end of the embarrassing loss, but it was the opening match of the card, a clash which should set the tone for the entire show going forward. Things would remarkably improve for Bryan at WrestleMania cards to come, but this wasn't quite the debut he would have hoped for on the main card of the biggest show on the wrestling calendar. Losing the World Heavyweight Title so suddenly didn't make a whole load of sense, and this came across as little more than the middle finger being pointed from WWE towards people who believed in Bryan's ability. What other title changes at WrestleMania could be considered as unnecessary or unwanted? Do you agree with the choices on this list? Let us know down in the comments section below!
