They have seemed a bit dormant since TLC. Logically they seem to be continuing with the Ryback feud (since they keep attacking him), but what are they building towards (if anything)? Hopefully not Ryback/Shield handicap...Like ellthom said, individual feuds would be nice (while of course keeping them a stable), kind of like nWo in 2002 (Hogan/Rock, Hall/Austin, etc.)
Have Ambrose do something sick to Ryback and begin a slow-burn face turn for Rollins and Reigns. Play up the idea of them being subtly disturbed by Ambrose. Don't rush it, but get it into the fans minds that he's batshit insane and the two other guys are starting to get frightened by his worsening mental state.

They absolutely don't need to break-up or go solo yet, but having a more direct focus than 'injustice' and 'attack random wrestlers every week' could give them added purpose - they're attacking Orton and Ryback frequently, but they're not really feuding with either. Even becoming Punk's official goon squad would give them some form of clear direction.
They'll help Punk retain the title at the Rumble and then they'll celebrate with Punk to show that they are indeed working for Punk. Maybe have them compete in the actual Rumble match.
Then at Elimination Chamber, The Shield will somehow obtain spots in the WWE Title match and along with Punk beat down on the other participants in the match and then have Punk try and demand for The Shield to lay down and get pinned, Roman and Dean lay down willing enough. However, Seth kicks up a bit of a fuss but eventually reluctantly does so, which will lead to some divide between The Shield and Punk and plant the seeds for the break up and a future Rollins/Punk feud.
Then at Wrestlemania, The Shield will be banned from interfering in the Punk/Cena WWE Title match and are given a six man tag match against Ryback and two other face superstars. Then following Mania The Shield begin to fall apart as a group and they all go their seperate ways.
This idea coming out of left field, but I could easily see ryback and someone else in the final two of the royal rumble, shield comes out and helps weaken ryback while the last guy throws him out. Shield celebrates with the final guy and it comes aware that this entire time the shield has been working for him. Again, just and an idea.
Another possible scenario... We find out that Paul Heyman is solely behind The Shield and Brad Maddox. Why? Because he fears if CM Punk were to ever lose his title then he could no longer live vicariously through CM Punk. Or maybe we find out that Heyman believes if CM Punk were to lose the title CM Punk would no longer need him and feels he would be pushed into oblivion
WWE, it's time you give The Shield a decent storyline...after their impressive performance at TLC, one would have thought the creative team would be put to work on these three.
I would love to see The Rock vs. Roman Reigns on Monday Night RAW. This will be Rocky's first RAW match since he jobbed to the Hurricane way back in 2003!
The Shield cut a promo on Team Hell No over the house screen. Their chemistry doing promos as a group is improving. They criticized Team Hell No being called a team, and the promo ended with Reigns screaming "Believe in the Shield!"
(4) WWE tag champions Team Hell No beat The Shield (Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins w/Roman Reigns) via DQ to retain the Tag Titles. Bryan was out first to a good reaction with the Yes/No routine. Kane out next to a bigger reaction, which surprised me. Shield came through the crowd to good heat. Ambrose and Rollins worked the match, while Reigns played the enforcer. This was a good back and forth match. Lots of "Let's Go, Goatface!" chants. The finish came as Kane chokeslammed Ambrose, and Reigns attacked Kane for the DQ. The Shield started a beat down on Bryan and Kane, but were foiled by Ryback, who sent them packing.
last night house show where they challenged for Tag Team Ttles. They really need to give these promo time and not the same old bullshit (come, attack, leave) every time on the main shows, if they allow them to talk freely on house shows, they can do the same on RAW & Smackdown.
Totally OT guys, but...
Since yesterday I have a new job, signed the contract and the guys gave me shoes and a jacket for work...
Shoes are from that company:
My eyes transformed into stars, This HAS to be a good sign. :lol
People thought I was freaking out when I said that putting these guys in NXT promos was a bad sign, but it is. Since then, there has been almost zero movement for our heroes. The idiots in creative don't seem to understand that buzz in WWE is short lived, and especially with new guys, they need to capitalize on it. They have done nothing of the sort, and continue to not let these guys speak on main shows to a live crowd. This is getting pretty ridiculous that the best active mic worker in the company (sans Punk) is not being utilized at all, when during the RTWM it could be a huge asset.

I wish the Shields awesome entrance music would play before they come down to attack something. These guys are credible so they dont need to jump surprise everyone now. Wouldnt it have been awesome if you just heard there theme music and had Orton waiting and wondering which way they are coming from.
