Predicting 10 WrestleMania 31 Matches Six Months Out
9. United States Championship Match - Sheamus vs. Bray Wyatt
There is potential for an awesome feud between the Wyatt Family and The Authority based on Bray's fascination with raging against the machine but at this point, it is difficult to foresee a scenario in which Wyatt and his family would be able to execute a quality babyface turn given the overwhelmingly bad booking that has plagued them. With that said, a less exciting-though-potentially great match against Sheamus for the United States Championship should be a fine enough consolation prize. Sheamus and Wyatt have wrestled a handful of times on Raw, SmackDown or Main Event but have never really been allowed to have that high-profile match to prove what they are capable of when sharing the ring with each other. With both being shuffled to the background in favor of the former Shield members, current WWE World Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and John Cena latest quest for championship gold, odds that they are involved in anything near the marquee bouts at this year's Showcase of the Immortals are incredibly low. Why not pair them up, bring the U.S. title some much-needed legitimacy and give fans a relatively fresh match in the process? Seems like a solid plan, right?
