The Time: 18 seconds

Former WWE champion Daniel Bryan is currently enjoying his run as one of the top WWE superstars after returning to in-ring action from a career-threatening injury.

Meanwhile, Sheamus is struggling to establish his foothold as a main eventer despite being one of the better stars in the promotion for over a decade.

But back at Wrestlemania 28, things were going quite differently. Daniel Bryan entered the match as the World Champion in the curtain jerker match. The champion kissed his then-kayfabe girlfriend AJ Lee, turned around and immediately ate a Brogue Kick from Sheamus, who pinned the champion and won the title in just eighteen seconds. Many fans expressed frustration because the two men had put on lengthier matches that were well received.

It was another experiment that the WWE creative team toyed with that left a bad effect in the WWE universe's mouth.
