Not to mention that it'll be like 7th on the card and probably would get 10 minutes if that. It'll be a great 10 minutes I'm sure, but ultimately inconsequential.
What's funny about this is - and I was talking about this with Nick
before the Royal Rumble - it seemed since the start of the year that there was a 50/50 chance that Bryan would be in the Wrestlemania main event, but if he
wasn't in the main event, then he'd be way down at the bottom of the card. Which is fucking insane when you think about it, but it's what we all presumed. He'd either face Lesnar for the title or have a throwaway match against someone like Sheamus. And it looks like we were right.
I guess we all should have known that Reigns would win the Rumble, given none of us ever believed that he wouldn't be in one of the most prominent spots at Wrestlemania. But it's insane that someone who is popular enough to be the main draw of the show will likely be fighting in the 7th most important match on the card.
Makes you realise how fucked up Vince's priorities really are.
