The WWE has confirmed Daniel Bryan's role for WrestleMania 31 later this month while the plans for The Undertaker and Sheamus may keep them off of television until the "Show of Shows."

There was some speculation after The Undertaker used parlor tricks to accept Bray Wyatt's challenge for a WrestleMania match on Monday Night RAW that the "Deadman" would return to television soon, but that is not the case.
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, the plan is to still keep The Undertaker off of television until his entrance at WrestleMania 31 to add some more mystery to the match.

With 'Taker being absent since WrestleMania XXX last year when he lost The Streak and was subsequently injured in his match against Brock Lesnar, the WWE wants fans to wonder what he will look like and what kind of shape he is in all the way up until his bout with Wyatt.
Per the report, Sheamus also likely won't be seen until WrestleMania despite the constant vignettes plugging the return of the "Celtic Warrior."
There is currently no word on what Sheamus' role will be, but he is likely slated to appear in the 2nd Annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal or the Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship.
Sheamus hasn't been seen since November when he lost the United States Championship to Rusev and was later written off after the mighty Russian and Mark Henry beat him down.
Despite him being taken out by two villains, it is expected that Sheamus will return as a heel.
In a bit of news that involves spoilers, it was revealed at Tuesday's SmackDown tapings, which are set to air this Thursday, that Bryan will be a part of the Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship. Bryan announced he's in the bout at the top of the show.
The field for the match so far includes Bryan, Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, R-Truth, Stardust and Luke Harper.
