Here is a follow up to the Daniel Bryan story, something that could somehow mend the woulds that the Yes Man is reportedly going through right now. While he may not be competing for the WWE Heavyweight title, he is still expected to be among the cards at the grandest stage of them all – Wrestlemania 31.

With fans visibly upset at the WWE for writing off Bryan during the rumble, rumors have it that Bryan will once again be in the limelight as he will be feuding with a returning WWE superstar, Sheamus.

It was earlier rumored that Sheamus would be returning at the Royal Rumble as a heel character but the Celtic Warrior was nowhere around the arena. There is no telling when Sheamus would return but his comeback may happen in the coming shows.

A Sheamus-Daniel Bryan showdown at Wrestlemania is nothing new for both superstars. Both were supposed to meet at Wrestlemania 30 but the WWE tweaked the plans and inserted Bryan into a Triple Threat match against Batista and Randy Orton. Bryan won and eventually became champion.

But both have had matches before. They battled to a no contest in Wrestlemania 27 during a Lumberjack match and again in 2012 during Wrestlemania 28 which Sheamus won in an 18-second long match.

Sheamus has been out of action due to an undisclosed injury he sustained prior to the Survivor Series. Adding a little bit of color to that as well was that Sheamus had some issues with Rusev and Mark Henry because of a beat down. However, all these issues seem to have been resolved.

With Bryan once again being inserted into the picture, the WWE hopes to appease the fans for sticking to the Roman Reigns storyline. And from all indications, the WWE is still working on that angle which pits Reigns against reigning champion Brock Lesnar.
