I'm loving where this is going. Shield/Wyatts could be our modern day Hardyz/E&C/Dudleyz
There's some fantastic matches to be made. I still believe that their final match should be a 6 man HIAC, TLC, or Elimination tag match. That leading into the Wyatts splitting The Shield up, making their triple threat ladder match at Extreme Rules for the US title. Rollins and Ambrose would be golden in that match.

I think everyone really is in the boat of "I'd rather Shield stay together but the break up has been executed very well". Shield is an amazing trio and they work soooooo well together. When can you name a bad Shield match? It's really hard, and even if there is one, it's just that. One. Out of a sh*tload of good-great ones. And it's doing the group justice (boom pun) to have them break up in such a great way too. This is getting me really pumped for a Shield 3 way match at Mania or a Shield/Wyatts III (if somehow Cena can't wrestle which I doubt but that's really the only alternative).

I want The Shield to split. These guys are too talented to be stuck in a group like this. In order for them to take the next steps...they need single careers. |

Considering for the last 4 months the entire focus of the Shield has been Roman Reigns, it was absolutely incredible to see Rollins deliver the goods.
He is clearly the most talented of the 3 in the ring, he can hold his own on the mic, and he has a "jeff hardy" kind of appeal. That man could be a major player if done right.
Here's hoping this will lead to big things for Seth, and not just losing to Roman Reigns in a triple threat.
For the record, I'm fine with them pushing Reigns. I'll be fine when they decide to push Ambrose too. It was Rollins I was really worried about getting lost, but if they make him the center of this whole Shield break-up it could be awesome.

I would like for the Shield to stay together a little longer since they have such good chemistry. They still have plenty of time to split and become single stars, no need to rush it. But I can't lie the twist they threw at us was great. So unexpected and worked so well. The match was amazing. Perfect example of great athletes getting the best out of each other and putting on a show for us fans. So if they do in fact really end up splitting then creative did their job on this so far. Hopefully they continue and finish this storyline with as much energy as they have put into it so far.

I think everyone really is in the boat of "I'd rather Shield stay together but the break up has been executed very well" Not me. Apart from the Wyatts and the split, The Shield weren't doing anything interesting for months and months. They just filled time in six-man tags when WWE needed to fill time. The split storyline is the most interesting they've been since about May last year. All three guys are awesome, I want to see them do stuff rather than spend their lives doing filler tag main events when WWE is too lazy to write a story. |

There are plenty of wrestlers in WWE who can put on pointless "entertaining matches" to fill time when creative can't be bothered to write a show -- Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose should be doing something more substantial and putting on matches that mean something. Right now, with the dissension storyline and the Wyatts feud, that's exactly what they're doing. |

So I've learned to settle for good matches. The Shield provide that together, so I like them together. That said, I'm excited to see them in singles competition as well so I have no problem with the split. Guess my point remains that some people just watch wrestling for the action, not that they are right or wrong and the same for you, just saying why people feel that way. |

They're managing to write a pretty damn good story with The Shield right now. Reigns was always going to be a star and Ambrose has his character nailed, but the specific writing of the story is really helping Rollins make his mark too. He was the guy that everyone thought might get lost in the shuffle, and he's been standing out a lot the last few weeks in the leader/peacemaker role. |

They all look very good right now. |

Its obvious that Reigns is going to be a big star but I hope Ambrose/Rollins also become big stars eventually. Rollins has been great in the last few weeks. If only WWE put Ambrose in legit feuds for the US Title then he'd give us one of the best US Title reigns in a long time. One of the best mic guys today and underrated in the ring.

I'll probably get bashed for this, but I've loved everything about the Shield since day one. Well maybe maybe not the turtle necks, but everything since then. Their rise. their run, & now their demise have all been highlights to me. All three guys are legit stars and there haven't been too many stables where you can say that. Rollings walking out and giving them tough love was something I did not see coming. But it makes perfect sense. It was booked beautifully, and executed even better. Tbh no one should bash you for this. I completely agree with everything you stated. |

I liked the swerve on Raw but hate that the WWE breaks up every solid tag team or faction within 1-1.5 years. The great factions are the ones that lasted for years. The Shield members could have still gone their own ways and done things on their own but remain allies.
Besides that the split was good. I've enjoyed The Shield tremendously for the most part besides the Roman Reigns push the last few months (he was pushed at the expense of Rollins and especially Ambrose). All three will be big time players in the WWE on their own.

Its just Shield vs. Wyatts. Its HOT because of the in ring performances. This is not storyline driven. The dissension in the Shield....thats the story. The Rollins swerve....thats part of it. |

I don't know if you're one of the people who doesn't watch Raw or pretends not to watch Raw, but the Wyatts vs Shield feud was built tremendously. The performers executed it to perfection, but the writing of it has also been awesome. The confrontations and staredowns were perfectly written to build anticipation without giving too much away. Everybody involved in that story has been great, whether they wear SWAT gear, Hawaiian shirts, jeans, overalls, or whether they're sitting in an office in Stamford with a notepad, a laptop and a cold that they're hoping Vince won't notice in the next creative meeting. |

I guess I am one of those guys who understands how storylines are written, detailed and explained in the story it tells. And this one has told....NOTHING. While the matches have been awesome, and the "story" of The Shield's dissension has slowly been built....there is no real reasoning for Shield/Wyatts. There is no detail....no back ground. Without the in ring work of both teams.....this would be nothing more than filler matches. Two teams of 3 thrown together into a match. Confrontations and staredowns? Thats riveting television. Man....I could sit and watch hours upon hours of these 2 teams staring down. Its been some of the best staring down that I have seen in a long time. And when Bray blinked.....I knew it was on! Take heed of all the over the top sarcasm these last few sentences have encompassed. Because you must be one of those wrestling fans that thinks everything WWE does is awesome and great. They can do no wrong. The anticipation hasnt been built on staredowns or confrontations. It was there, since the first time these 2 teams tagged together, because you have two teams that have earned the fans respect and have busted their asses in the ring. They got over. AND it was refreshing to see 2 heel teams, though Shield are probably more tweeners now, to do battle. But I certainly would love to hear about how this riveting storytelling has unfolded. Please enlighten me on this conflict. What was so dastardly that was done to ignite this feud? Tell me all the devious plot points and scenes of vengeance that have taken place. I must have missed all this while I pretended not to watch Raw. The only "story" that has been building and developing.....is the breakup of The Shield and the Wyatts feud with Cena. |
