Reigns and his amazing friends.

[Raw is Doodie101]

The Shield booking is awesome but I am getting tired of Roman getting all the attention and wins. I like him and I love his moves but I like Seth and dean just as much and I am tired of seeing those guys underpromoted. Does anyone feel the same way?

[RIHT]

I agree. This is what the problem with a Reigns singles run would have been had it been done earlier. They want to make him like Batista leaving Evolution, but what was cool about that is that Batista was the lowest guy in Evolution until he struck out on his own. People wanted to see attention on him when it wasn't being given, and WWE gradually pushed him into the spotlight (no pun intended), until he finally was played off as a big deal. WWE out of nowhere has been having Reigns win every match for the Shield and dominating everywhere. People will get sick of it if shoved down their throats. If anything, at least when the Shield breaks up, use this as the reasoning.

[The Man They Call Asher]

The Shield has been presented as very tactical from the get-go. Their gear, the way they entered the arena after their debut coming down from separate areas, managing to turn things around with proper teamwork even if the numbers are against them. This is no different. Roman Reigns is a force multiplier.

[Topher is Human]

I could only read this is "Reigns and his amazing thighs", no matter how many times I've read it, the moment my eyes go to it, I see thighs...

What have you done to me FAN?

[Bub (BLM)]

The funny thing is, Ambrose and Rollins will end up getting further in the long run. Reigns will be overpushed, alienate fans, and end up being just another Sheamus.

[MiLo Duck]

I'm on board with this idea.

I think the way they are doing it at the moment even hurts Reigns significantly. If they do split, then they've already diminished the other two guys he may be feuding with or the other two singles commodities they'd have in the mix at that point. They absolutely do not need to do these ultra pushes in the terms of wins and losses with guys already getting reaction, that should be saved for the guys who need that little extra to get over, something that is clearly not needed in this scenerio

[N E O G E O B O Y S]

It's weird, I was cheering for reigns when everybody here was LOL HE SUCKS, WHY NOT USE CHRIS HERO INSTEAD. He filled the role of the power man amazingly. But then, they had been pushing him way too hard and is backfiring imo.

The whole thing tonight was focused on Roman as being the main guy and the other two being his cronies. In the beginning Roman said to believe in him, Evolution said they're going to make an example out of Roman, they said he's the big dog of the Shield and then you get to the main event. Roman's the one who looks the most impressive given he still hit Triple H with the Spear, his friends saved him but then it went to Roman again at the ending. Even the commentators kept mentioning Roman over the other two. Hell, in the replay they only showed what Roman did. They didn't show Ambrose's amazing finisher nor Seth's but they showed Roman's multiple times.

It's clear it is Roman Reigns and friends. The other two aren't being made to being as great as he is even if they try to promote "The Shield". Like it's been said earlier, it's basically Roman Reigns and training wheels to keep him from looking too bad.

I like all 3 so they need to be treated as equals. What made Reigns amazing was that he had the "it factor" without it being shoved down our throats. That's what makes it amazing. Now with it being acknowledged all the time, it is too much. It's like when you like something as a teenager and then your dad picks up on it and tries to be hip with it. It doesn't work out.

Shield will change their name to "Handsome Roman Reigns plus 2"

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

So Roman would be Batman because of the constant attention, Seth Robin and Dean The Creeper. Roman though has improved in both promos and working the ring, on the other hand Dean and Seth will be the standouts despite WWE trying with Roman unless they make Roman a jungle man than they have all of my money

All of this focus will make sense when he joins Evolution.

["Cane Dewey" Johnson]

Everyone keeps thinking that Reigns is going to go face while Ambrose and Rollins go heel. But the Reigns push reminds me of when the Rock was pushed hard as a tweener, and then pushed even harder as a heel. If people get sick of the Reigns push, a heel turn would take a lot of those negative feels and channel them appropriately given his character alignment. And keep Rollins and Ambrose face. Then, a Reigns face turn after could be gangbusters depending upon what necessitates the turn.

It will be Roman Reigns, his beautiful girl hair... and 2 other people.

[SEAN CARLESS]

WWE needs to be more subtle with Reigns. If you're all noticing the obvious narrative bias, chances are the most vocal fans are as well, and will eventually turn on the guy. It's happened so many times. And that's why I hate it when WWE handpicks heir apparents so far ahead of time, as opposed to organic pushes. It backfires way more than it succeeds.

"I like it!"



"Wait, we do not."

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Reigns is so amazing that he decided to name his left nut "Dean Ambrose" and his right one "Seth Rollins."

[Deleted]

Wait, you mean the Shield isn't just Roman Reigns?

I thought those other two guys were just stage hands - since they're all dressed in black.

[Mista T]

Seth Rollins is my favorite, I just hope after the Shield is said and done Rollins or Ambrose isn't jobbing to midcarders

This wouldn't surprise me, especially with Batista supposedly leaving soon.

I'm absolutely convinced that, for the time being at least, this is the point. The "believe in ME" from Reigns when everyone else in The Shield talks of "we" or "us". I think this is WWE working the fans deliberately ("REALITY Era") and Reigns is gonna be built up to be the next mega-heel for Bryan to feud with in the main event.

I also think that they do anticipate Rollins, out of the three of them, as the most likely to catch on as a huge face when the Shield disband. Hence why Rollins has been regularly kicking the crap out of Triple H during these little fights.
