7 Possible WWE WrestleMania 31 Opponents For Daniel Bryan
3. Sheamus
This is a match that has been rumored for several months. Sheamus has missed some time due to some undisclosed injuries he had that he needed to take care of. The thinking was that he would return at the Royal Rumble, find a way to screw Bryan out of the win and work as a heel because of that. Instead, Sheamus didn't show and there are other rumored opponents for Bryan. There's a history here, so that's why a match makes sense. In 2011 they were a part of the pre-show at WM27. In 2012 at WM28, Bryan lost the World Title to Sheamus after 18 seconds because Bryan kissed then-girlfriend AJ Lee. Their match one month later at Extreme Rules was 2/3 Falls and it was much better although people remember the WrestleMania moment more. It seems like a natural rivalry. Bryan's the ultimate underdog while Sheamus could thrive as a bullying type heel again. His face act became so stale, so it makes sense that if WWE wants to get him over as a heel then he should feud with Bryan because the fans will hate almost anybody that Bryan is against. If it doesn't happen at WrestleMania, expect it later in the year. That seems like a sure thing.
