As far as the Shield is concerned, I don't expect that to last either. WWE is about as subtle as ground zero of a construction site that a split is imminent. We all know that Reigns will get that wonderful push to the moon that we've all seen before, that is the most manufactured unnatural thing ever, that 3 months after he wins the title, the fans turn on it. I've seen it too many times to really be bothered to care. I'm on your side, I want Mania to end with Bryan as champion. That's how it should end. I don't agree that the Reigns push will be manufactured. The fans want it, and he's liked by WWE, so they'll take their time, and do a slow build to him winning the title. They won't give him the WWE Title this year, they'll have him win the 2015 Royal Rumble, and let him walk out of Mania with his first WWE Title win. They've got to know that Reigns' first WWE Title win should be a Wrestlemania Moment. Okay that's what I'm hoping.

His last 2 tweets speak volumes to the legitimacy of this. Hey, he could be going to MMA. Thats what all the cool cats are doing. TBH though he doesn't strike me as someone who can legit be a real fighter. He'll beat Vince Lucero to show us what a legit badass he is, then steal Roman Reigns' spot winning the Rumble and headlining Wrestlemania XXXIV.

You know what? I wish more people would walk out.
Nothing that I loathe more than this last 10+ years where everyone is committed to WWE and kisses their ass, because they're essientally the only dog in town. It only feeds their ego to continue to do whatever they feel like doing. The diehard fans aren't going to leave. The wrestlers aren't going to leave. What's stopping them?
Maybe we'll finally get that Triple H vs. broom match, while the fans march to the exits while filling the ring with trash. Hey Trips, make sure you sweep up, after you're done!!

To me, it has seemed that Punk hasn't been showing the same amount of passion he was showing in 2011 and 2012 lately. It just seems like he hasn't been into his programs as much. I can sort of understand why. He hasn't exactly been booked well since dropping the title and working the Undertaker feud. And now Batista and Brock are getting big Mania matches over him, while he has been there busting ass.

I wonder where this leaves Sheamus, if they go ahead with Bryan / Triple H. Facing Kane? They should honestly probably try and make it a triple threat title match and come up with a way to make Sheamus a suitable replacement for Punk in the Triple H angle. If they're still set on a heel turn (they might not be, with Punk gone and Batista getting toxic reactions), they could always have him murderize Rey Mysterio at Wrestlemania. I always wanted to see that match during his first heel run, but we never got it one-on-one.

At least Brock is a legit ass kicker, so it's believable he could come into WWE and beat the shit out of everyone. He's also delivered the goods big time against Cena and Punk, and should do it again against Taker.

I do have to wonder if a change in Mania plans has something to do with this.
I wonder if his current storyline was now leading to something like CM Punk vs. Kane at Mania, which would be a total downgrade from a title match or grudge match with HHH.

Wow, I know I've said that a 1997-esque shakeup of the card between the Rumble and WrestleMania wasn't impossible, but damn... Is that actually a possibility now?

They've got to know that Reigns' first WWE Title win should be a Wrestlemania Moment. Okay that's what I'm hoping. The fans didn't fall in love with Roman Reigns, they fell in love with the Shield. I'm not saying that Reigns shouldn't get that push, but it's clear from things I've read that he's the one they're going to push, because they love him. The Shield got over as a unit. Once that's all said and done and Reigns goes solo, he'll get a push that only WWE can manufacture. But like a toy, you get it home, you open the box and the toy falls apart. The fault of the manufacturers. I suspect that's going to happen here because WWE can't withhold their orgasm for anything they find that has main event arousal. You look at talented guys like Sheamus and Cena and what WWE did to them. I have no hope.

Outside of Bryan, this was the only guy on the roster who had the fans on his side. This will make people side with Bryan more, as they really have no one else
