14 Early WWE Predictions For WrestleMania 31

8. Daniel Bryan Vs. Seth Rollins

Despite numerous rumors suggesting another WrestleMania match between Daniel Bryan and Sheamus, those plans might change if WWE is continues to follow the plan of €˜don€™t repeat things that happened too recently€™, which is the basis for Bryan€™s noted absence from the title picture this year. Daniel Bryan was eliminated unceremoniously from the 2015 Royal Rumble match to a chorus of loud boos from the audience. Bryan has been arguably the most popular WWE Superstar for almost two years now, even when he was sidelined with a neck injury. So while it isn€™t likely for Bryan to be involved in the main event (because Vince doesn€™t want repeat occurrences from last year€™s €˜Mania), it€™s possible that Bryan will nevertheless be fighting the Authority. The smartest thing to do now is for Daniel Bryan to go after Seth Rollins, the crown jewel of the Authority. In his feud with the Authority, Bryan has already dealt with Kane, and no one would really expect much of a competitive match between Bryan and Big Show or Luke Harper. It only makes sense for him to take on the only person in the Authority that can give Bryan a competitive match, and that man is Seth Rollins. It would certainly be a great thing to see both of these highly-skilled wrestlers compete against each other at WrestleMania. Both of them have experience on the independent scene and have had good chemistry with one another. Many fans would love to see these two go at it on the biggest stage of them all. However, there is also the possibility of the Authority or J&J Security getting involved, costing Bryan the match. Therefore, despite the overwhelming fan support for Bryan, if this match were to take place, the likelihood of Rollins winning would be higher.
