Subtle Shield Teases on Raw

From about :40 to 1:00.

Cena compares about Seth's friendship to the Authority to the Shield. Where Seth blindly believes that the Authority are actually his friends, when The Shield were his brothers.

And then after that, Cena brings up that between the 3 of them, Seth was the only one willing to stab the other 2 in the back. And if you notice after Cena says this, Seth isn't his usual whiny, angry heel self. For a moment he actually looked sad and dejected at the mention of his former brotherhood.

Not predicting anything, even though I think we will get a Shield reunion before the end of the year. But have to say, hit me right in the feels.

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

If seth came back to the shield after losing his titles, that's the only way to keep his momentum up, after losing it all.

Would love for the shield to reunite, they already have a feud perfectly lined up also. Wyatt vs Shield 2.0 let's do this.

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

It shouldn't be a quick reunite. Reigns and Ambrose should be weary of Rollins for a few months before accepting him back into the group. Slow build > Random, fast build.
I agree. Though, I hope The Triple Threat is set for WrestleMania. So, In my world, I would jump start this at NOC where HHH screws Rollins. Get Reigns, Ambrose, and The Wyatt Family involved. Eventually get that up to Shield vs. Wyatts at Survivor Series.

The Shield is back. We get about a 2 month reunion. Reigns turns heel around Rumble time. We get Ambrose (face) vs. Rollins (face) vs. Reigns (heel) at Mania.

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

I was expecting Ambrose and Reigns to be joined by an NXT superstar to be honest
Baron for example
That could still very well happen. Whether it's an NXT guy or a current roster guy. But still, I hope Ambrose and Reigns continue to go it alone until Seth goes in and we get Shield vs. Wyatts again.

I don't see them reuniting until Reigns wins the title. They won't want him looking like a failure like Ambrose next to Rollins. Not to mention, they don't want to stop Rollins singles career right now. It'll be 2 or 3 years before they reunite. Remember, WWE doesn't care about the concept of The Shield like the fans do, the only reason they created it was to try to make Reigns a good wrestler and it failed. They're not in a rush to bring it back.

No they didn't. They created it to give CM Punk some people to work with(although it didn't end up working out that way in the end). Just listen to his podcast with Cabana, Punk came up with the idea of The Shield, wanted Hero in it and WWE chose Reigns instead, which is fine, but it was never created just to make Roman a "good wrestler".

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

Dude, that show where Reigns and Ambrose came down to the Shield music through the crowd had me marking out like an idiot.

I miss the Shield so much. :(

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

They're single runs have to flopped to a certain extent. I mean Reigns and Ambrose are basically still stuck together and the former is rejected at every ppv. Might as well let Rollins join them and keep them together until they're ready for the main event.

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

Reigns and Ambrose should at least get even with all the damage Seth did to them since betraying them. Just going back and joining the Shield no questions asked makes no sense and isn't believable.

"Yeah, you stabbed us in the backs and beat us up this past year? Sure come on back, no big deal!" No. Though with the WWE, reasonable is a foreign concept so who knows.

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

I want them to reunite for one night, then after they win the match, Ambrose & Reigns kick the living shit out of Rollins & put him out of action for 3+ months. I love him to death, but after all those 40 minute promos & multiple segments a night every week for the past 15 months, I could use a little break tbh.

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

He needs a solo face run to start with. Having him go straight from the Authority into the Shield just makes Roman & Ambrose look like idiots.

But if Rollins has already turned, and is fighting an uphill battle against the authority alone for a while, then his former bros will know he's legit.

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

Not that I wouldn't mark out if it happened, but we're probably at least several years away from a reunion. Reigns still has to win the title and have it for awhile, Dean has to turn heel and be fed to both Reigns and a face Rollins and then we gotta wait a little while so they can forget all about it and then get back together.

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

It's only been a damn year, if anyone in the booking committee had even an iota of common sense they would have known to keep the three far apart as possible so that when they did cross paths it would have been a huge moment.

With that said, it's still way too early for a reunion and we already have had The Shield Vs The Wyatts, this should be the Wyatts vs Roman, Dean and some other guy

Re: Sublte Shield Teases Last Night

I noticed the tease as well. Maybe I'm looking into it too much but did anyone notice during the Strowman match JBL said something to the effect of "He just destroyed 2/3s of the Shield!"

Probbaly nothing but I thought it was kind of an odd thing to say, and with how scripted the announcers are sometimes who knows??

You never know with JBL. I mean they're all taking orders from Vince but there times JBL goes on a tangent with obscene jokes and references that most don't even understand. Hard to tell what's coming from their mouths and what's coming from Vince's mouth.

I think it's a given at this point that Ambrose and Reigns have to get help at some point. I mean, one guy by himself took out both of them. But the only guy I can ever picture is Rollins. The only force that could truly stop this new Wyatt Family is the true Shield. At least that's the way I would spin it. They could plug a lot of guys in there but I just can't see a good fit.

I think the Wyatt family should become the new central antagonists of the show, replacing the Authority, and the Shield have to reunite to stop them. I don't think a Shield run should be long unless you've given up on all 3 as main eventers and when it ends it shouldn't be by betrayal again rather them amicably parting ways to chase gold.

THIS IS HOW RAW SHOULD PLAY OUT (of course it won't though):

NOC: Reigns and Ambrose pick up a guy but loses to the Wyatts. Rollins barely edges Sting and meets HHH on the ramp the usual hug and says you're the man. They reach the top and HHH clotheslines him down and calls out Sheamus. Sheamus brogue kicks him, drags him to the ring and pins him. New Authority champ.

Raws: Shield trying out new guys for the third place but keep losing to the Wyatts because of Strowman. Rollins cutting tweener promos and interrupting matches until he gets his rematch which is made at HIAC

HIAC: Shield guys get decimated in a HIAC match with another replacement. Rollins debuting a new finisher is about to hit a new finisher and the lights out, Rollins laid out and Sheamus wins.

Raws: Rollins trying to track down who attacked him and Authority say have nothing to do with it. Shield guys challenge the Wyatts one more time, Bray stipulates that if the Shield loses they're done in WWE. Roman accepts, need to find a worthy partner. Final go home Raw, Rollins finds out it was the Wyatts but not revealed.

SS: Rollins joins the Shield, they win.

Raws: Rollins builds to challenging Sheamus again, Roman and Ambrose are skeptical about Rollins, teaming with him but everything looks good from Rollins side.

TLC: Rollins wins back the title as a babyface

Building up to Royal Rumble where Roman turns heel and feuds with Rollins continuing into the Elimination Chamber or whatever filler PPV is there and Ambrose wins the Rumble. Boom Shield triple threat as the main event, with Rollins and Ambrose as faces and Roman as a heel, everyone wins.

It would be really awesome if WWE writes Seth Rollins joining back like this:

Let's say that Wyatt are attacking both Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns and first Seth Rollins would be watching it and enjoying the demise of both of them at the hands of Braun Stroman. So, as he starts walking away, he keeps looking back with a diminishing watching his once-so-called brothers are getting destroyed... his facial expression changing from a smugging smile to a merciful sadness in a change of heart kind of way while seeing both Dean and Roman getting destroyed.

So, he grabs a chair or a weapon or something and rushes back to the ring and stands in front of his fallen comrades and trying to protect them. Even though, he backstabbed them and he was a jerk to his former brothers... that changed his heart and tries to fight along with them to get the Wyatts out of the ring.

Of course, it's not easily going to set well between Dean and Roman from the get go but that makes Seth Rollins into a face and eventually, he'll regain the trust of both Shield members to fight the Wyatts.

I hope something like that would happen... it'll create an awesome pop and a great moment. :grin2:
