With the Heyman confrontation/Brad Maddox Murder, we discovered an interesting bit of information about the SHIELD, that being that apparently they're "paid" to do "jobs."
Will this bit of plot come back on the following Mondays going forward? Will the Shield be hired by other people? Will it be addressed who's been hiring them so far to attack the random faces, Randy Orton, etc? Is their nonsense about injustice just baloney, or is it real, and part of a bigga pictuh? Do we think this ends with the Rock hiring them and a heel turn? Has he already hired them? Do we think they'll attack heels as well as faces if hired to?
I'm not looking for a wait and see. I want thoughts, theories and speculation!

In a year we will find out it was Hornswaggle that was hiring them to protect Khali.

I believe they are renegades who are attacking former champions, or guys at championship level in order to attack WWE's ideals. Heyman is employing them, but he is using loose guidance on a nuclear missile, much like he does with Brock. Kind of a "Yes, go burn it to the ground! But while you do so, be sure to take out this guy who also fits your hit list." There is no other way to explain the strange assortment of other guys they have taken out. Rey and Sin Cara? Rey and Punk had a feud, but that was ages ago. The Miz? Sheamus? So I think a lot of this is some form of vigilantism, and that will come out later.
As a side note: I think the roles of the individual characters in the group are great. Ambrose as the twisted visionary, willing to throw himself and anyone else at a perceived enemy. Dean is guiding and manipulating the anger and talent to achieve a greater, darker cause.
Reigns is a quiet man boiling with rage. He's down with fighting injustice , but it's more about hurting people for this screaming psycho. This will lead to him being the next big monster face when he decides to break away (possibly after seeing Ambrose manipulating him?)
Rollins as the talented younger brother. He's eager to be the first guy into the fray, and the other two seem to look out for him especially. This perfectly sets Seth up for a nice face turn later, again, probably after Ambrose screws him over.
Then you have crazy, twisted and untrustworthy Dean Ambrose still throwing himself at upper card talent and working to break the machine.
Such a great stable! BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD!

Seems that way. Maybe that's why they dropped Waybarruh being open for business, it did seem to imply a "hired gun" situation.

It would be cool if they only accepted payment to fund their own agenda.
Only trouble is it's wrestling stable not a militia funding a coup so what would they spend the money on? Steel chairs are much cheaper than guns and they only wear one outfit.

I like the idea of a stable of "hitmen" who are paid by people to do jobs, "wet work" if you will. Be it a Heel wanting to take out a face champion, or a face feuding with a group of heels and is in need of tag partners...
The Shield as "Guns for hire" sounds like a good idea to me!

For the idea of The Shield as "mercs" to work, they need to be tweeners who go after everyone, no matter the alignment. So, in that case, getting them away from Paul Heyman would be a good start.

I'm shocked we're discussing anything involving Punk, Heyman and the Shield as if we don't already know where it is and has been headed this entire time

So all Cena needs to do to defeat them is hire his own mercenaries:  |
