WWE are reportedly planning Sheamus vs. Bryan III at WWE WrestleMania 31 in Santa Clara.

Sheamus who is scheduled to return to television anytime was not backstage at Sunday's WWE Royal Rumble despite being rumored to return during the Royal Rumble Main Event.

WWE originally had plans for Sheamus to face Daniel Bryan in New Orleans at WrestleMania XXX last year but that feud was soon nixed when CM Punk left the company and WWE took the decision to elevate Bryan to the main event instead. 

Sheamus is expected to return as a heel.
