Reigns fits in with the bunch now?
That trio is perfect, money.

He fits in by the normal wrestling stable dynamic, but he doesn't fit the idea of a crusade against guys who got their spots despite being 'inferior' talent.

I never had a problem with him being in at all. He's a big man that can do power moves and spots (see his spear against Kane last night and his powerbombs). As much as I love a guy like Ohno, going up against guys like Ryback and Kane he wouldn't fit (while tall, Ohno doesn't wrestle like a big man).

Sure, but I think he always fit in with the group, its just people didn't have a clear conception of what the group really was.
People already had this idea of what the The Shield was and assumed Reigns wouldn't fit. But now that they've carved out a bit of a character for the group, he definitely works.

Reigns has surprised me to be honest, I'm not a big Rollins fan so I presumed the only good thing to come out of this would be Ambrose but Reigns has been awesome throughout. Total badass. I still wonder if he'll be able to cut it once he goes singles but as a member of The Shield he fits and is great.

Their roles in "The Shield" were always perfectly defined as far as I'm concerned.
Ambrose is the leader. Reigns is the the muscle. Rollins is the one that wears a hat.

He's still incredibly raw, but being in a group that allows him to focus on power moves right now will help him. Being in the same group with Mox (Ambrose) helps a lot as well because he is a genius when it comes to ring psychology and could really help Reigns in that sense. |

I always thought he fit. He's the Batista of the group, the 'dark horse' if you will.

I felt Reigns was fine.
I think that the only problem people had with Reigns is that they expected The Shield to be a mega stable of former indy stars and Reigns doesn't fit that criteria.

His solo promos are awful on NXT. I like the idea of him believing he's this blue-chipper and having his "signature" performance, but when he's doing those promos where he's threatening guys and intimidating them, he's very stiff. I like him on the Shield. Talks less, kicks ass. It works for him. |

I'm going to miss his "industrial jazz marching band" entrance theme or whatever it was. |

He's built like a brick shithouse. He's getting a lot better in the ring, and the company has been chasing him for years when he was in college football and after when he wanted to go Pro. He's the scion of the Anoa'i legacy and the spear to Kane made me a firm believer that he deserves his spot.

Having not seen him on NXT, I always thought he fit in fine with the Shield. Rollins was the one I always thought looked out of place. Reigns looks like a badass. Ambrose looks like a badass. Rollins looks like a goofy emo college kid.

I feel the same way about Reigns, he hasn't really impressed me on NXT but he fits into the shield really well. I just hope WWE continue to hide his weaknesses as they don't have a good track record of that in recent years. |

I think some people were excited to see guys they know from independents with ambrose and rollins and were kind of leaving reigns out due to not being familiar with him, but having a chance to watch him I'd say he's won people over. He's my favorite of the group for sure.
