Which Shield Member becomes a World Champion First?

[CM Parish]

Yeah, two quick polls from me.

I was watching Raw and I really feel Roman Reigns is a future World/WWE Champion. I think the guy tremendous potential.

Do you agree? Who do you think will be a World Champion first out of the troublesome threesome? Or do you think none of them will?

[The Ichi]

I can't see any of them doing it, honestly.

If I had to pick though, Ambrose.

[celticjobber]

I could see Roman Reigns winning it first, he seems like the one WWE will really get behind and push.

But Ambrose will likely have a run with it eventually as well.

[Chip]

Ambrose. He was the one who got the one on one match with Taker, they clearly see a lot in him.

Ambrose.

There's a reason he is the US Champion and Reigns/Rollins are Tag Champions.

[TGM]

Ambrose who loses it to Reigns in a Batista/HHH repeat.

The only world championship that matters in the company is the WWE Title, so with that, I can't see any of them winning it. That's not saying they'll flop or won't be big names, I like them alot, but the only one I can see being pushed to the very top is Reigns. Ambrose will be a tremendous villain but he doesn't necessarily need a world title to make a name for himself, like a modern day Jake The Snake. Rollins is the longshot of the group. I feel he'll struggle the most to stand out apart from the group once they split. He's a great in-ring talent but he's missing that extra something to rise to the very top.

Now if I actually considered the WHC a world title... All of them will hold it at some point, because that's what it's there for.

[Emmet Russell]

The World title is very attainable -- for any of them. I could easily see Dean getting into a program with RVD for the title by the time TLC rolls around.

Dean Ambrose VS. RVD in a TLC match would be amazing.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

Reigns.

Although Ambrose is by far the most talented, I think Vince's love of bigger men will shine through so he will get the big push at the end.

Rollins screams midcarder to me, although I am a fan.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Reigns is in that mold of charismatic big men you can build a "big fight" style main event around. heck, I think there's more money in him than there is in Sheamus (whose pretty much the only "big hoss main eventer" they have right now) or Ryback (too much goofy). plus he's learning from 2 of the best ring workers in the company, which is never a bad thing.

I could see Ambrose being a big deal, too, and because of his mic skills he actually might have more longevity than Reigns, but he's going to have to wait longer, especially with the glut of so-called main eventers the company still crams up there (as I've said before, WWE's biggest detriment is keeping around failed main eventers who shouldn't even be midcarders--> sometimes the glass ceiling exists for a reason).

Rollins is a dark-horse. he's clearly the best worker of the 3, and surprisingly learned how to cut a decent promo from his time in FCW. plus he already has experience being "the Man" in Ring of Honor, which sure as hell never hurt CM Punk or Daniel Bryan. I coould see him being like Jeff Hardy or RVD where he becomes really over with everyone by putting on exciting matches every night, but if he ever gets a run with the big title it'll probably just be a "thank you" run like what Christian got.

[Bootista]

Ambrose.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I think Roman is more traditionally what WWE would consider 'world champ material' but then when your two top babyfaces are Punk and Bryan, anything could happen in the next half hour.

[Instant Classic]

I hope one day all three do, but first I'd have to say Ambrose.

[JTG Fan]

Rollins for the upset.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]

I think Ambrose. He's already pretty much the full package, if they wanted him to win a World Title they could build him up to it fairly quickly (hell, we had a fantasy booking thread around here before Summerslam and I'd built him up to challenging for the WWE Title by the Rumble without him looking totally out of place).

Rollins I think is, if he ever wins a World Title, going to have a Jeff Hardy style slow rise to the top (maybe not as slow as Jeff but he's still a few years away) but the skills are evidently already there.

Reigns is a difficult one because he has the best look and presence of the three but he's also the least skilled of the three at the minute. Him being in a tag team covers up his in-ring flaws for the most part (his match with Bryan on RAW was sub-par compared to Bryan's usual matches and exposed some of those flaws) and being in a trio with the other two means he only has to speak in short bursts. Honestly, if The Shield splits soon and he continues to improve in the ring plus he has a manager to do his speaking for him then I think he could potentially be first BUT if he doesn't then it will take him a little longer I think.

I think all three will be World Champs eventually but I'd probably think Ambrose will be the first (although it could be Reigns) with Rollins taking the longest.

[The OP]

I think the key to this question is which one the company sees the most value in, and at this point it's clearly Ambrose, he's being treated like the singles star, so as of right now he's the most likely.

[katiemorgan67212]

I love all 3 of them but I do love Roman just a little bit more than the others so I picked him to win first.

My prediction is that Roman and Dean will absolutely be WWE champion at some point. Seth will not.

[froggyfrog]

Dean or Reigns. Reigns has the look but I think Dean is better rounded at this point so I voted him

[Knailsic From Now On]

I could really see Reigns being WHC champ.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Ambrose will win it first, but Reigns will have more title runs.

As much as I like Rollins, I don't see him winning the big one. He doesn't have Punk or Bryan's charisma, which is what ultimately pushed them right to the top.
