Lesnar should be the trump card of this match. It just makes too much sense.

Re: The Shield Discussion Thread
I mean Ambrose tweeting. His tweets were hilarious. Him talking about his battles with spiders in his apartment and making fun of WWE's Twitter class was epic.

Re: The Shield Discussion Thread
I've seen people post that Ambrose reminds them of the Joker, but his delivery reminds me more of 1950's Brando, just deranged.

Re: The Shield Discussion Thread
Why does the shield have to break up for them to compete solo?

I'm never going to liken him to the Joker since he changed his gimmick into being bat shit crazy a month before the Dark Knight even came out.
To me, he's always been the bastard son of a Piper/Pillman/Raven/Tracy Smothers orgy gone wrong but somehow turned right in the end. Throw in some Jack Tripper mannerisms with some alcohol and you have Moxley.

it seems to me any factions or teams who try to have someone compete solo is only for a certain event, or to job to someone else. Look at 3MB, team hell no, Rhodes Scholars. The either lose or win a match that means nothing. It's all focused around being able to send them back to their group, in the end.
So splitting up could mean they could start independent pushes and feuds.

- The reason why Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus, Ryback and John Cena at WWE Elimination Chamber won't be happening inside the Chamber is because it would be an elimination match and WWE doesn't want to have to eliminate five of their hottest Superstars right now.
|
Honestly, this does make sense. While I would love to see the match in the Chamber, this way, only one guy has to bite the dust.
IMO, they could still do the match in the Chamber where two guys start out, alternating teammates come in, and after the last man enters, the first superstar to score a pin or submission wins the match for their team. Basically the exact same thing as War Games.
If the plan is for the Shield to win, then Sheamus will bite the dust. Vice Versa, Rollins or Ambrose will eat the pin.

I don't like their explanation. This tells me that The Shield is going to win but they don't want to put it in the Chamber because it might hurt Ryback, Cena, and Sheamus's momentum. To me, losing in a regular tag match is worse than losing in the Chamber. Give the fans a great match inside the Chamber and they won't even care who supposedly looks weaker.

Agreed, and this is why I've been saying that as long as the Chamber match is booked correctly it doesn't matter even if Cena stands tall at the end.
But I see it a little differently than you - while I could see the Shield winning a straight up tag match by pinning Sheamus, what we might see happen is Ryback getting the pinfall. Unless they plan on dragging the Shield/Ryback storyline all the way to Mania, this would be the ideal time for Ryback to get a measure of revenge on the Shield for their actions. This would then free them up for new storylines heading into Wrestlemania.

How many PPVs do you really think they are going to have Ryback lose/not win? It's ridiculous.
