All three SHIELD members should be thrilled. WWE booked them to look devestating yesterday. Exactly. Really, I think they were being primed to be the enforcers for the new corporation even back when Vickie was about to fire them and Vince chimed in to talk about how much he liked them months ago. The Shield make the perfect group to administer the law of the land put forth by this corporation. That by definition is a form of Justice.

It gives them "credibility" even though they've been essentially main event for a good while now, but storyline-wise it makes sense on two levels. Hired goons for Trips to use (and fodder for D-Bry to run through, since, you know, someone has to lose to him), but also kayfabe-wise, they hold all the other titles on RAW.

Handpicked challengers by Triple H -- Kofi, Ryder, etc They'd be getting a huge push in a way -- spotlighted in the WWE title picture -- and would look good in defeat a la Taka and Maven who went toe-to-toe with HHH back in the day. Logically this makes sense, but you can't sell a PPV with your main event champion put in matches you know he will easily win just for storyline purposes. NoC will be Bryan vs Orton with a ton of interference, which will probably lead into a blow off at Hell In A Cell. Ah, yes, the classic 2 PPV and move on booking.... Just like when Austin/McMahon headlined 2 PPVs and was finished.... Wait.... (Translation; I remain cautiously optimistic that this will be a long term thing & will hopefully be as glorious as I think it really can be.)

The Shield looks like they wear badges now. How long has that been going on?

Forget about the 3 Man Bossmen, HHH needs some stooges. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn are available. I would love this so much.

Who are the three Ken Shamrocks? Or three Tests?

3 Tests---Curt Hawkins, then bring back Lance Hoyt and Sheamus for head kicking power
3 Shamrocks- In a weird twist we actually just get Daniel Bryan to do it.

All I know is it was weird seeing The Sheild take orders and blatantly do someone else's dirty work.
They once said they have no friends and they don't trust anyone.

They trust in the almighty dollar... That's enough for them.

The company needs to seriously stop with pairing two guys for three or more PPVs in a row. There are many ways to navigate a feud. I agree. I like the idea of having Bryan fight his way back toward the title. I am just not sure how long. I want to see him have a decent reign and I feel like having him win at survivor series instead of rumble or mania now wouldn't be as great It can be hard to time this stuff. Waiting until Mania sounds nice, but then they run the risk of having him job out and look inept to stall the story, which leads to lesser crowd reactions and lack of interest. That, or injury, could derail the whole thing. James Storm's push somehow ended up having both happen.

no one thinking about the guy who Vince is ordering around?
Wade Barrett once led a beatdown that put him in a coma

I would go:
Night of Champions: Bryan vs Shield in a gauntlet match (Bryan goes over)/ Orton vs Ziggler(Orton goes over) Battleground: Bryan vs Triple H (Trips wins with ref stoppage)/ Championship Scramble for the WWE title with Orton, Ziggler, Henry, Big Show and Punk (Orton wins in the final seconds) Hell in a Cell: Bryan vs Triple H in a cell (Bryan wins)/ Orton vs Punk (Orton goes over) Survivor Series: Bryan finally gets the title from Orton.

Triple H was treating them like a glorified Gunner and Murphy. Does this mean that Sheamus is going to go on a 1000 match winning streak that's not over at all when he comes back?

The Shield looks like they wear badges now. How long has that been going on? Since Vince deputized them in his Officer Big Mac gimmick. The Mac is for McMahon.
