Yes, an 18-second match is a must-see WrestleMania bout. In this case, it has to be seen to be believed. An entire feud that was built up was blown off quicker than Honky Tonk Mans Intercontinental Championship loss. Sheamus hit a Brogue Kick on Daniel Bryan seconds after receiving a kiss from AJ Lee, costing Bryan the World Heavyweight Championship. Diehard fans were devastated and felt Bryan was buried by this, but consider this: the loss led to Bryan dumping AJ, which caused her to go crazy and adopt the persona that made her the best Diva in the WWE. Bryan spiraled out of control too, landing in a tag team with Kane and eventually riding a wave of popularity that took off after this match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF_kEtYlfBc Meanwhile, Sheamus still wrestles for WWE. Well, it didnt work out great for everyone.
