The night the crowd gave up. This coming “Wrestlemania” looks like it’s destined to be another Roman Reigns coronation. Yes another one, because that’s exactly how things need to go. Back in 2015, Reigns had his first big Wrestlemania main event, but there was a big match to get through first.

The fans wanted the opposite.

FULL MATCH - Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan - No. 1 Contender's Match: WWE Fastlane 2015

WWE has posted the full Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan match from “Fastlane 2015” on its YouTube page. Bryan was making his return from the neck injury that cost him his WWE Championship about nine months earlier. Reigns had won the 2015 Royal Rumble and was facing Bryan to firmly establish himself as the top star.

Opinion: The wrestling was good but this was beating the fans over the head with something they didn’t want to see. At that time, the fans wanted Bryan and did not want to see Reigns. However, never let WWE cease to amaze you with their ability to push Reigns down your throat no matter what you want. At the very least though, Bryan got to have one last great singles match before retiring.

Bryan got in some great lines before the match.
