10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About WrestleMania 27
7. Daniel Bryan Was Booted To The Pre-Show...
Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz for the United States Championship in late 2010, then continued to defend the championship into 2011. Fans anticipated seeing the former indy darling defend his title at WrestleMania, but he was beaten by Sheamus on Raw only a few weeks prior to the show. Still, the rematch was scheduled for WrestleMania, so fans would be able to see Bryan make an impact on the event for the first time ever. Unfortunately for fans of Bryan, his match with Sheamus was bumped off the main card. As there was no pre-show at WrestleMania XXVII, the only people who got to see him compete were those in attendance that night. Sheamus and Bryan would have to wait until the following year to have their WrestleMania match, and of course, that didn't go very well either...
