Particularly, when you throw in your theory of never having the Shield lose in 6 man tags... that would create the mystique that drives professional wrestling
It's an investment that beats the dogsh** reunions we've seen from DX and the NWO. Having the Shield breakup for personal reasons beats them jobbing out to teams with far less potential as unified teams
Keeping them undefeated keeps them fresh in the viewers eyes so when they do unify (for a short nostalgic run) their mystique will remain intact (you can be sure Cole will mention it)

It's a small sacrifice to keep them stainless in 6 man tags, similar to keeping the dead man undefeated at Mania. Shield (as a unit) >>> Wyatt's (or anybody else for that matter, as a unit)

The Shield never losing as a six man team would have been an interesting idea, and it's one I actually made a thread about a year ago: http://wweforums.net/threads/the-shield-should-never-lose-as-a-group.23528/

Obviously this would be impossible to do now since they've jobbed a handful of times already (to the Wyatts twice, Bryan/Orton/Kane, Christian/Usos) but it would have been cool to do at one time. As it is now, they've still won far more times than they've lost (against some star studded teams, too), so as long as they don't suddenly just start jobbing to anyone - like to Kane and The Ascension - they can still preserve a lot of their mystique for if and when they reunite for a short time later. The Wyatts should be the final loss for the group in any sort of tag team imo.

I've seen bits of The Ascension on NXT and I don't think they deserve a call-up to the main roster, let alone a big WrestleMania match. And Kane? No one wants to see him wrestle. I'd rather thtey go back to booking The Shield against 3 random babyfaces tbh.

At this point, I'd put The Shield in the battle royal, which Reigns goes on to win, and do the split from there.

While I disagree with your assessment of Kane and the Ascension, I do like the idea of them putting the three into the battle royal and having a similar play-out as they did in the Rumble, but with them getting to the last 3 to 6 guys in the fight.

Although I'd shock everybody and have either Rollins or Ambrose win it rather than Reigns, just to further what they've been developing.

I wonder why they aren't considering The Shield vs Dolph/Miz/Ryder .. would get way more buzz behind that match than the one rumored here.
Dolph/Miz/Ryder start their turnaround here and Shield breaks up right there after the match with Reigns telling Dean he'll wrestle him right here and now for the US Title and then Rollins is like woah woah boys what makes you think I dont want a piece of that action, next night on RAW triple threat for the US title (or next PPV, but would be awesome either way if it was the following night or PPV).

Holy fuck this feud sucks. Kane is a piece of shit and The Shield are the hottest thing in WWE. I'm guessing Kane calls upon either The Ascension as rumoured, or maybe New Age Outlaws? No way Shield should job. Putting them in the Battle Royal is the best option now.

Guess they should have just gone ahead and saved the first encounter between The Shield and The Wyatts for Wrestlemania after all. I mean, if The Shield are gonna be competing in a tag team match anyway, at least it would have been one that we actually care about. I would have been fine with the triple threat main event being Orton/Cena/Bryan or even a four way between Orton, Bryan, Cena and Batista.

Orton v Cena v Bryan would have been amazing. Makes perfect sense as those three have held the title for the past year, and their feuds have interlinked. Also, we never got closure to Bryan/Orton or Cena getting a rematch with Bryan. Would have emulated WMXX as the new upcoming star wins the belt against two established faces of the company.

I would have actually enjoyed seeing that and I bet the match would be very good. But rumor has it that Batista was guaranteed the main event at Mania XXX in his contract, so we get what we're getting. It gives me hope, though, that WWE realized they needed a third man in that match (and I love the psychology of HHH announcing that, if he beats DBD, he'll be in the triple threat for the title....it definitely adds something to the mix that was missing when Bryan was the only one who had an opportunity to be added in).
