It still does not make sense to me. They still to this day have Ambrose as a face. Why didn't they switch up their alignment and have Dean be the one that turned? He's a natural heel.

Seth Rollins is Triple H guy not Roman and Dean so I think that is the reason Seth is the one who turned on them.

Shock value. No one really saw Seth being the one to turn on the Shield. He was always the peace keeper in the group. Breaking a group like the Shield, at the time, needed to be shocking and make people care. Really it should've been Roman to turn heel on them, but even that would've been predictable.

It was a swerve pure and simple.

How long it was in the works is up for debate but 90% of the IWC wanted Ambrose to turn on the Shield, some basically since their inception even. The other 10% more or less thought Reigns.

Basically, no-one thought Rollins would be the one to turn....so they turned him.

 

[ImSumukh]

The biggest mistake is Rollins turning on Shield instead of Roman.

 

[THE MAN.THE MYTH.THE SHIV.THE END.]

To surprise us. Thing is you had Ambrose and Rollins playing counter to their strengths which benefited no one.

Can't lie that it worked out. Rollins was a great heel IMO and Ambrose was one of the most over guys in the company for a year and a half or so. His title winning moment arguably made it worth it. Plus, that Rollins/Ambrose feud after the split was one of the best feuds of the past several years. At the moment things have gotten stale, but they could always decide to turn him. Deciding to go babyface 3 years ago doesn't mean they are locked in to keeping him that way.

 

[Brodus Clay]

Actually in a way makes sense, Ambrose talented enough to survive being a babyface on WWE pg environment, Rollins? well watch him now as a face.. hes a fucking disgrace.

People can say whatever they want but Ambrose has been a huge success as a babyface he is still the most over guy in the roster.
