The main goal of WWE doing a feud between The Shield and Evolution is to push Roman Reigns as a top player and to get him into a singles match against Triple H.
The match with Triple H is rumored for SummerSlam but word is that it could end up taking place at Hell In a Cell or Survivor Series if they decide to stretch it out longer.

They should use this to lift all 3 of the shield to the top level. Reigns isn't ready to go to the top yet, especially if he receives one of those mega pushes, it'll expose him to much.

WWE is going too fast with Reigns. They will try to protect him and overbook his matches to hide his in ring shortcomings, but the fans will see through this crap just as they did with prior superman pushes. Ultimately, he will be forced into a heel role as he will be rejected as a face by the majority of the audience.

Daniel Bryan has been in the WWE since 2009 and worked his way to the main event status. The WWE just wants to hand it to Reigns when he only has 4 years of total WRESTLING experience and has only been in the WWE for just over a year and half.
He should be getting the slow burn and start off in the mid card and work his way up. He shouldn't be given a main event push so early, its just going to blow up in their faces.
let the match happen, it will be amazing to see how bad the match comes off and Reigns will flop just like Ryback for being pushed too fast and too soon. You would think they would learn this lesson. Reigns is worse on the mic than Ryback and that is saying a lot, and he is certainly worse in the ring than Ryback.
Daniel Bryan is a 10 in the ring and Roman Reigns is a 0, that might have something to do with it. Roman Reigns also has less charisma, less ability to talk, and is getting pushed purely based on his physical appearance.

Breaking him off from the Shield and putting him right in a feud with Triple H is not the right thing to do as the fans will see right through that if he is still green as a solo wrestler.
Re: Backstage news on WWE's main goal for doing a feud between Evolution and the Shie
You guy's acting like Rollins and Ambrose are going to get thrown in the trash bin are crazy. They choose Rollins as the 1st NXT champion for a reason. They know what they have in him. I have no doubt they want him to be the next Jeff Hardy minus the drugs plus the better wrestling moves. They know what they have in Ambrose too. It may seem like a joke to all of us, but letting him hold the U.S. belt for a year does say alot. Since 2010 Miz, Bryan, Sheamus, Ziggler, and Cesaro have held the U.S. belt and all of them got pushes within the next year.
After reading through these boards I really think the only reason people are actually down on Reigns is that they just don't want to see Rollins and Ambrose thrown away. These guy's are part of one of the best 3 or 4 stables in WWE history and are crown jewels of HHH's new developmental system. They aren't going anywhere.

Of course they're going to get thrown in the trash. There's one world title now. You aren't gonna be seeing ANYBODY new other than Reigns going near that thing. You're not gonna convince anybody with bad excuses like the NXT and US titles, either.
Re: Backstage news on WWE's main goal for doing a feud between Evolution and the Shie
I actually like Reigns but his marks a bit delusional. The guys is not good on the mic or in the ring. I don't think he's terrible but any objective person would tell you he's not good either. I'm honestly leaning towards less than mediocre for both departments. That said, I think he's improving and I don't see him as a Ryback. I think he'll pan out fine if they keep the Shield intact for at least another six months to a year. He's making strides but he's not ready yet. I do think he has a presence and charisma that will lend to him succeeding but he really needs to improve before we talk about a match with an all-time legend in HHH.

Spot on as usual. I feel the exact same way. There's something about Reigns that I like, and I think the 3 or 4 moves he does are all exciting and awesome; but, he truly does need to improve tremendously before swimming with the great white sharks in singles action. Let him swim with the guppies first and work his way up slowly. First things first though, he needs to do at least 2 months of singles matches on house shows before working on his own on TV. First impressions are everything in this business, and if fans think he sucks in the ring and on the mic when he's a singles star initially, they'll tear his head off when/if he goes over more talented performers (which he will). The key with Reigns is off screen practice, and lots of it.

Can't see Evolution going past SummerSlam. If they want to push him that hard then he should go thru Orton at Payback/MITB, Batista at Battleground and finally Hunter at SummerSlam.
Re: Backstage news on WWE's main goal for doing a feud between Evolution and the Shie
We are seriously on the verge to one of the darkest days in wrestling history since The Miz as WWE Champion. Reigns better improve in the ring and on the microphone (more so in the ring) cause this information is letting me know that I will be changing the channel a lot more often from the WWE. Reigns is utter garbage right now, we don't need another Great Khali in the main event.
Re: Backstage news on WWE's main goal for doing a feud between Evolution and the Shie
The Shield was nothing more than a tool to get Reigns over using Rollins and Ambrose to cover up his lack of ability in the ring and on the microphone. I bet Triple H/Reigns has a stipulation that allows for the match to be a complete spotfest, further hiding his lack of in-ring talent.
Looks alone aren't enough in 2014. Fans see through that bullshit, 80's tactics don't fucking work anymore.
Its not that simple. The fans love to be vocal in this era but non of that seems to translate to money/business. If Bryan was moving business like Steve Austin did back in 97, he wouldn't be pushed aside for Roman reigns in the first place. If the fans boo reigns, WWE would turn him into another Cena anyway, as long as he draws WWE will position him as the top star without a doubt.
Yes I'm talking about 2012 feud. It cut off his momentum completely and he barely recovered when he turned heel last year against Cena, and yet again WWE managed to cut his legs off by jobbing him to Cena at Extreme rules that didn't even main event.
It's out of my control so it won't do any good complaining about it. I don't mind Reigns as much as others and I actually hope he does well for himself. While that's going on Ambrose and Rollins won't allow themselves to be lost in the shuffle. As much as I dig them as a group, I've always felt that they will each flourish on their own. The Shield is just the first chapter for each of them. It's actually quite prophetic they are feuding with Evolution because much like Orton and Batista, all three of these guys are future main eventers. They will just be getting there on their own respective paths. Reigns is getting the spotlight by default because they want him to be the big babyface hero. Rollins will fit that role organically over time. Ambrose on the other hand is a villain at heart.
Reigns gets backed by the machine, Rollins let's his in ring style speak volumes, and then there is Ambrose. There are people out there who don't understand the hype. They say he's the weakest of the three. Well, those same people will find out first hand that being a member of the Shield was a mere drop in the bucket at what he's capable of. In many ways he has the most to prove because he doesn't have the flash Rollins does. Or the look Reigns does. His character compliments guys like Rollins and Reigns which is testament as to why he was debuted with those guys in the first place. He's unique. He's brooding. He's the cream of the motherfucking crop.
Re: Backstage news on WWE's main goal for doing a feud between Evolution and the Shie
I seriously doubt there would be all of this hype about Reigns without the dirtsheets. As soon as people read that HHH wanted to push him to the moon, all you could hear was how much potential he had. Before those reports surfaced, not so much. Be Honest, what has he done to make you think he deserves to main event Mania 31? His push at Survivor Series and Rumble already has already exceeded what he merited. Yet, I dont hear too many of his marks decrying that superman push that most here seem to revile.
Re: Backstage news on WWE's main goal for doing a feud between Evolution and the Shie
The Reigns critics are laughable because they think thier opinion is fact. Reigns is awful in the ring, no mic skills etc. Reigns is fine in the ring despite the fact that you don't like his style. Reigns is solid on the mic great expressions, got a cocky swagger going. Is he Bret Hart in the ring and The Rock on the mic? No. But he's not bad. Just because you don't like someone doesnt make them bad? Just like just because I like someone doesnt make him good? But, in basic terms of working a match and performing a promo he's fine add in his look and presence and all the tools are their for him to be at least an upper mid-carder for WWE for years to come. If he never passes his floor he's on his way to a solid career.
Re: Backstage news on WWE's main goal for doing a feud between Evolution and the Shie
I don't vehemently hate Reigns, I just think he isn't as ready to have a match with Hunter as Ambrose/Rollins are. Hunter needs someone at least good to have good-to-great match with.
Re: Backstage news on WWE's main goal for doing a feud between Evolution and the Shie
you guys act like he is the great khali reigns always performs well and has improved leaps and bounds since his nxt days
but why would you want a young talented performer with tons of potential to fail just because your favorites are'nt getting his push it seems extremely petty

Well, tons of potential doesn't mean anything if they put him at this stage in the ME. In the mid-card is OK, help him build some singles credibility but if he goes over Triple H? Seems a bit too soon for me because he is still a part of the Shield; if right now he has been in singles competition I wouldn't have had such problem with him but injecting tag team player into such big one-on-one seems too rushed for me.
And no, I would prefer someone who is total package to be pushed, whether or not he is my favorite. Reigns for me doesn't have all the tools yet.
Re: Backstage news on WWE's main goal for doing a feud between Evolution and the Shie
LOL at comparing Reigns to Ultimate Warrior and Goldberg as if those are bad things. For one thing, he's nothing like Warrior (I wouldn't mind if he was though), no one has the energy Warrior has. Two, Warrior had 2 5 star matches (more than Daniel Bryan and Ambrose and Rollins etc. have in WWE) and Goldberg was a huge star and legend and better than 99% of wrestlers ever.
Reigns will be fine if they book him correctly, like a beast.
Why shouldn't Ambrose and Rollins be pushed?
Ambrose:
Decent mic skills
Not believable/looks like a drunk/druggy
decent ring skills
horrible finisher
no presence
mid card charisma
Rollins:
bad voice (with decent mic skills so....it's still decent, but he's incapable of cutting a GOOD promo)
looks like a geek
again, not believable
has no charisma
has no presence
Both should be upper mid carders with Rollins going further (MAYBE a thank you world title) due to his great in ring skills.
