I feel like this is what they meant to do with 3MB but then that ended up sucking. The Shield could be very awesome if they don't screw it up. Ill be disappointed if they end up helping Punk in TLC though.
I don't know what you're talking about with 3MB. That is a comedy stable, meant to give some low card guys a new gimmick. It's not meant to dominate the shows, it's for fun (and it is fun, the stable brings a lot of good comedy). It might take off, and help their standing a lot, it might not.
This, The Shield, is a main event stable very much meant to play a major role.
They did in 2/3 minutes what most stables are unable to do within months of TV time; character development, after watching that short interview you could already tell that Ambrose is going to end up being the border-line insane, sadistic, joker-esque member (bare in mind I haven't laid eyes on any of his work before this), Rollins comes across as 'doing the right thing' and seems to believe the intentions of the group are pure (and I'm calling it now Rollins will leave the group first and turn face against Ambrose/Punk (IF he's involved) and then Reigns, the strong silent type which I think is a really clever way of booking him as I've seen his NXT stuff and whilst he does have the 'look' he is VERY 'green' and atleast in this way it could mask his negatives. All in all am impressed with how this storyline and group has been booked (so far atleast), hopefully it continues because frankly there isn't that much else worth watching on RAW these days.

My first impression of The Shield was "Another Aces & Eights?" I mean, the suits make them look like something out of The Dark Knight Rises. They look like action stars. Roman has a really bright future ahead of him and I don't say that often. Not especially on the first day.
I dunno about Dean Ambrose, he's got a lot of hype around him, but I dunno. The only thing I see good about him so far is the Mic segments. Especially in that interview with Cole.

Thought all 3 men did very well. Played their roles well. Ambrose was very good in the interview. Like other have said, he was very calm but you could tell that he was trying to get across in the audience's minds "huh, there is something off w/ this guy." Rollins was very good as well. He was very believable and sounded very calm. I am w/ the majority that he will turn face eventually and feud w/ Ambrose and/or Reigns. Reigns did what he needed, and looked like a bad ass doing it. Going forward, as far as talking goes, it should Ambrose doing 50%, Rollins doing 40%, and Reigns doing 10%.
Also, a question: Anyone think The Shield might challenge for the Tag Team Championship? Think about it. They went after Kane and Bryan. The teams have beef w/ each other. They have a reason to fight each other. It was rumored that Kane & Bryan would defend their belts against SinSterio and The PTPs in a ladder match. Why not add The Shield (most likely Rollins and Ambrose) and make it a Four Way.
Also, one small thing I noticed. During the main event Reigns appeared by himself while Rollins and Ambrose appeared together. This makes me believe that these two will be somewhat of a tag team while Reigns again is the enforcer.
What do you think of my prediction?
Agreed. He did fine and I have no doubt he will continue to do fine as a heel. But his biggest strength is as a face. W/ his natural connection w/ the crowd and amazing and wild in ring ability, he could be that next Jeff Hardy type of face.
Loved it as well. The WWE camera team did a great job there. As soon as Ryback's music hits, they close up to Punk's face w/ The Shield waiting for him right behind Punk. Laughed my ass off when Punk jumped over the barricade. Just the way he did it was so funny.
What does PG have to do w/ this? Seriously, dumb comment.
Punk is amazingly hammy as a heel, he does everything in such an over the top manner, it's really fun to watch. He practically somersaults over the barrier.

this caught me off guard, but what if they pulled the ultimate decoy and reveal that The Rock was the mastermind behind the shield ?
think about it, Roman Reigns is his cousin, and the motive is that he doesn't want non of Ryback at the Rumble and he figured Punk was the easier target
and if you really want to root it out, have heyman double cross Punk and join The Rock, and that Heyman only managed Punk to keep the title on him until the Royal Rumble
this process could turn Punk into a face
99.99% chance it's not gonna happen, but it would be cool tho, it's just like Goldberg vs Hulk Hogan and the NWO in 98
