10 Reasons Sheamus Vs Daniel Bryan At WrestleMania 31 Is An Insult
10. We've Seen This Match On Two Other Occasions At Wrestlemania
One of WWE's biggest problems overall is that the company is retreading too many matches that have previously been seen on Raw, Smackdown and Pay-Per-View. The idea that Daniel Bryan - WWE's hottest babyface performer - won't even get a fresh and potentially intriguing matchup at Wrestlemania is incredibly insulting to the fans that have supported him, especially for the past three years. Sheamus and Daniel Bryan fought during Wrestlemania 27's pre-show for the United States Championship, and famously fought one year later at Wrestlemania 28 for the World Heavyweight Championship (a match the Sheamus won in 18 seconds). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPjt_kt3J6g While yes, this will likely be Sheamus and D-Bry's longest Wrestlemania match, neither Sheamus nor Bryan are at the place they were positioned at three years ago in the company, which means that for heel Sheamus the match is a stretch, and for babyface Bryan it's certainly a downgrade.
