People WANT the Shield to break-up? I don't want them to break up, but I *do* want them to finally explain what the hell their deal is. Seriously, I love the group, but it's always bugged me that their actual gimmick is so vague and half-formed.

What's the deal with these consistently almost INTENTIONALLY bad ideas we're hearing lately from the E?

Remember when people didn't like Roman Reigns as a member of the Shield and wanted Kassius Onho to replace him?
While I think this newz story is a pile of horse shit, I would be shocked that WWE tries to find a role for Mason. Maybe he'll be the bodyguard for Del Rio whenever he returns. I'm surprised they did make him a Paul Heyman guy instead of Ryback.

I get the feeling that Rollins is going to get the X-Pac gig of still having the gimmick long after it's dead. If Albert joins Rollins and Ryan and they get an Uncle Cracker theme look out.

Rather than subbing anyone new in, I say when it comes time to split the group up, just have them go completely separate from each other, have a triple threat for the US title at Mania, and have Reigns win it. What's the point? he should be onto bigger and better things. What's he going to do if he wins that? defend it against Brodus Clay? He'd be better off throwing it in the trash.

People WANT the Shield to break-up? I kinda do, I want to see how they do as solo acts. The Shield has pretty much hit its peak as far as how high they can go as a stable and you could argue they hit that months ago. I fear as time goes on they will eventually ruin it, past the Wyatts they've run out of opponents as they've pretty much run through everyone, to the point now they are facing a solo Punk, if they remain as a stable after that, who do they go after next? Another solo act? No thanks. I think Reigns, winning the US title from Ambrose at Mania would be a really nice moment in what is looking to be a lackluster PPV. In their "absence" they could elevate the Real Americans to be top heels of the tag division, Reigns can prove if he's going to be a future star with his US title run, Rollins can start developing a personality and Ambrose........ well, Ambrose would just kinda be doing the same thing. Thinking on it a little bit more. I'd be fine with Mason being the 3rd guy if it was only for a week. They could have Ambrose and Rollins find a 3rd member to prove Reigns isn't as replaceable as he thinks, only for Reigns to tear Mason in half.

Seriously, I love the group, but it's always bugged me that their actual gimmick is so vague and half-formed. I think it's way too late for that now. After a year of them being the MVPs of the WWE, I personally don't think any extra backstory, context, etc is required anymore. Also, see Wade Barrett's "It's all pahr of tha biggah pichtah" for evidence on why pushing a backstory isn't needed anyway.

I think Leo Kruger would be a better replacement than Mason Ryan

I like this only if Mason and a returning Batista have a feud over who 'The Animal' name really belongs to, and as a grudge match of sorts for when Ryan kept getting those 'Ba-Ti-Sta' chants on RAW

(concept borrowed from another thread)
Guy 1: "What if The Shield didn't break up after we turn Reigns? Who could we put in there?" Guy 2: "Let's see, big guys in NXT... Rusev? Ryan? Cassady? There's some options, I suppose."
Backstage Source: MASON RYAN TO REPLACE ROMAN REIGNS IN THE SHIELD

Basically, as usual with these things, I'll believe it when I see it.

Personally, I think I'd rather have Rollins and Reigns turn face on Ambrose. I think they'd be a great addition to tag division. And I love Heel Ambrose, I could picture him picking up a lackey, like Matt Hardy did with Shannon Moore.

there's lots of other guys in developmental with more upside than Welsh-tista who'd be better in the role. hey maybe Leo Kruger might actually finally get called up. Ohno would've been good too but he's gone.
