Philjax Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 If they combined the Cena and Orton matches into one 4-way for the No.1 contendership (which Corbin would be up for so he wouldn't have to spunk his briefcase yet) it might be a bit more bearable. As it stands this show will be near impossible to watch in one sitting. Obvs ditch Balor/Wyatt as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourtyTwo Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Raw spoiler here, but wondered what sort of reaction it would get if Reigns won the title, pinning Lesnar, after interference from the newly crowned tag team champs, Ambrose and Rollins? Have the three of them run through the roster as a reunited Shield, until Mania season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows - would likely depend on the reactions they were getting which side of the face/heel line they were, and therefore who they'd face. Maybe go full on Shield v Bullet Club?

The King of Old School Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Bullet Club? No way are the fans buying Anderson & Gallows against the Shield. I don't think any full on Shield reunion will happen just yet, infact I would love for Ambrose and Rollins to come down and help Roman win the title, only for him to destroy them after. Imagine the heat! I personally think they will tease it for a bit until Mania where we might get the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could put AJ and Balor in with them as well, and then tease someone else joining the Shield? Gives you a decent survivor series match? I think them helping Reigns win, then him destroying them would be brilliant though - hadn't thought of that as an option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted August 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 Yeah, it's not the right time for a full-blown Shield reunion, because there's nobody at that level to be a threat to them - or, in a kayfabe sense, to put the pressure on them to bother reuniting in the first place. For a Shield reunion to make sense, it needs to be because there's a heel stable wrecking shit, and they need to put their differences aside and come back together to defeat the greater evil. Otherwise you just get three babyfaces who are mates now, with no real purpose. When The Shield turned face the first time around, they had the Wyatt Family to go up against while they were still a threat, they had Kane and The New Age Outlaws to wreck en route to bigger matches, and they had Evolution to go up against. Now who have they got? Are they going to wreck Miz, Axel and Dallas every week? Hardly seems worth it. Personally, I think they've teased Shield reunion stuff too often - with Ambrose and Reigns palling about for months after the initial break-up without properly being a team, with Ambrose and Rollins now, and with random throwaway matches, even just with Reigns keeping the old music. Imagine if he got new entrance music and new gear when the Shield broke up and then, five years down the line, the three of them end up the last in the ring during a Royal Rumble and do the fist bump, and the following night on RAW come out to the old Shield music to confront some baddies. The pop for that would be immense - the more they fuck about with it, the less likely that moment will ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Shy Dad Posted August 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 I still think its crazy how well WWE have done this, its been just over 3 years since the Shield split and the reformation of Ambrose and Rollins has been kept apart the entire time they've both been faces until this last 30 days or so and done fantastically well. Its pretty much near the same amount of time that the WWE had HHH/HBK break up their friendship in 2002 until they reformed in 2006 and at times it does feel a lot like that is the way WWE is trying to present them to a 21st century audience, Dean as the guy willing to take risks to steal the show because he's a bit crazy and has no fear, Rollins as a cerebral approach built from being a bit cowardly to begin with, Reigns as the Diesel of the three I guess as well, big guy with power that has a loose alliance to both. Actually really hyped for their tag match Sunday, if only because both guys coming out in Shield armour would probably get the biggest pop of the night.

That makes perfect sense. But then Ambrose and Rollins have just reunited to fight off the massive threat of Sheamus and Cesaro. So who knows.

Paid Members jazzygeofferz Posted August 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 I can't decide whether Lesnar's retaining or losing the belt without getting pinned *coughJoecough* so he can come back for Mania season and do the honours for Roman on the way out in a proper singles match.

WyattSheepMask Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I reckon Brock is losing the belt, but I can't see them putting it on Reigns at this point. As we're approaching the lull that is the final quarter of the year when people stop watching before coming back for the Royal Rumble , I think there is a real chance that either Joe or Strowman is winning the belt, and my money is on Braun. You can get another match out of Reigns and Braun after Reigns tried to murder him and Braun v Joe could be a fun encounter if it's given 10minutes or so. There were talks of doing Braun v Lesnar for Great Balls of Fire originally and I could see them going with that at the Royal Rumble and have Reigns win the rumble match.
