10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About WrestleMania 29

9. Daniel Bryan Still Didn't Reach Seven Minutes Of WrestleMania Match Time

Daniel Bryan had the best night of just about anyone's career at WrestleMania XXX when he defeated Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista en route to becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Before that night, though, his WrestleMania resume was something less than stellar. Bryan was meant to make his WrestleMania debut in 2011, but a scheduled U.S. Title match with Sheamus was booted to the pre-show, then turned into an impromptu battle royal. The next year, Sheamus and Bryan tangled for Bryan's World Heavyweight Championship, where the challenger infamously won in 18 seconds. Finally, at WrestleMania 29, he'd get a real chance to grab a piece of the spotlight as part of the popular "Team Hell No." Once again, D-Bry was denied. He and Kane took on Dolph Ziggler and the debuting Big E but the entire bout was only given 6:18, making it the shortest contest of the show. Team Hell No got the victory and the WrestleMania pop, but after three years on the main roster, the company's best wrestler had only racked up a mere six-and-a-half minutes of WrestleMania ring time.
