The Shield breaking up

[Swift]

Reigns doesn't impress me very much aside from his spear. But he has a great look and will probably be the break out star of the group because of that alone.

 

[Rysenberg]

It's a little wacky but I'd love to see Ambrose take the World Heavyweight Championship as part of The Shield. An Ambrose/ADR fued lasting a few months with Ambrose taking the title at Summerslam would be great. Eventually after a few months of domination by the Shield Ambrose and Reigns could turn on Rollins turning him face. Then at WM you have Rollins getting put over massively as a face after beating Ambrose for the WHC. Ambrose blames Reigns for the defeat and turns on him hence Roman turning as well. They could fued for a few months with Dean going over before moving onto bigger things over on Raw.

A boy can dream *sigh*

 

[RoyalRaven]

I'm still on the fence about him because he hasn't done enough to impress me. His mic skills are a little bit better, but I just feel like he'll be the next big guy who doesn't know how to work the ring. Then again he is Samoan, and they tend to know how to wrestle, don't think I know one who can't

True, plus I don't think they need many more heels at the moment anyway, I see Ambrose/Rollins doing a better job of the Heel role.

Have to assume you've edited and changed to be an as#h**e. ity:

Nope i was just pointing out that the same guy who says they are the most entertaining thing ATM is the same guy who said 2 hours ago that they're a bad copy of A & 8s

Ambrose an ADR would be a good feud to see, but I feel like it'll lack the hype because of Del Rio's inability to shoot a good promo. Believe it or not I think he would be good against the Miz, the match wouldn't be as ADR/Ambrose but it's a nice slow start for him, and more likely IMO since world title seems a bit soon for Ambrose even if it is next summer.

I don't mean to overstate Ambrose's ability, but I don't think it's a necessity for his opponents to have all that great mic ability. He can easily make a fued entertaining purely from doing his creepy ass promos, just see his one with Rollins at FCW. The Miz is probably the last guy I'd have him fued with. His face run has been awful and nobody really gives a shit about him. For his next fued I'd probably enjoy Orton to be honest. Orton is still over as hell, Ambrose would have a tonne of material to use against him and a win would put him over really well IMO.

I agree with you on the mic ability thing, but it has to have some flare to make the match as good as it should be and creative has lacked on that in the past few years, so an opponent with good mic skills could compensate for that. Also I want to seen an opponent Ambrose can go over on first and The Miz being a former WWE champ, but not really being important now would be a perfect fit for Ambrose. It would be a stepping stone for him, because otherwise he'd just be super pushed. Orton and Del Rio are less likely to put anyone over because Orton is megastar and it just would be unbelievable as far as booking right now or soon. ADR is someone who is being highly invested in right now and I don't believe Ambrose will go over on Del Rio when they're still in the process of putting Del Rio over.

It would look fine IMO as it would obviously involve help from Roman and Seth. Del Rio would be able to take the loss quite easily as well as he'll have just had a 8 month long title reign. Orton's been jobbing left, right and centre to guys who are hardly credible at all, I mean Ziggler can hardly buy a win and went over him cleanly at SS.

In addition to all this Ambrose is somewhat of an unknown quantity to a lot of the WWE fans and all they will have seen of him is with The Shield going over talented guys. It would definitely be believable.

Ambrose getting a main title shot directly after breaking up the Shield is in my opinion too soon. Before you send him to take the belt make sure he works as a singles star. There needs to be some sort of "road block" for him before the top. Because Ambrose as a singles wrestler is currently unknown. Before he wrestled in the WWE he was utter shit in the ring and his only singles matches in the WWE that are circulating are with Seth and Regal. Two men who can make just about anyone look good in the ring. He has without a doubt improved as a wrestler since signing but I say we still need to let him try his feet in the "kiddy pool" before sending him to the sharks. Let him hold the IC belt for a while or feud with an upper midcard gate keeper so that we can fully access his capacity as a singles wrestler.

We're hypothesizing this as if The Shield has already broken up. If they're still together then it's much more feasible, but as a straight singles, even with cheating I don't see it. Orton hasn't been jobbing. He's lost a few matches, but his win/loss ratio is still at the level of what I like to call "Super Saiyan" inb4 over 9000.

Ambrose isn't seen as an unknown quantity IMO. He comes out every week to attack people with two other guys, showing weakness when the odds are evened up aside from winning the two six tag matches, he's running away almost every other week. Until he is out on his own for sometime I don't see it. I think Cesaro going for the WHC is a lot more believable than Ambrose at this point.

I do agree it's a risk pushing Ambrose to the top so soon when he's been untested as a singles competitor. However, ring work isn't an issue at all IMO. The main event doesn't exactly have massively high standards when it comes to guys' ring work. I mean Ryback is getting a colossal push and yet he's been truly appalling in every match he's competed in. As I say, pushing a guy who has barely proved himself is a risk, but it's a calculated one. He'll have The Shield to rest on for the first few months of this hypothetical reign, and even before then they could send him out on his own a few times against ADR and if he isn't garnering a reaction, then have ADR go over.

The WWE fans don't read too much into things like that. The Shield are credible as hell, they beat Ryback, Cena and Sheamus cleanly - it doesn't really get much bigger than that. And it wouldn't be a straight singles though, Ambrose would have the Shield in his corner which pretty much makes a win over anyone feasible.

 

[Leo C]

I think they'll break up over the winter, maybe it'll blow off with a triple threat at Summerslam.

 

[CrayJ Lee]

I'm enjoying their gimmick. If they do breakup it will probably be in a big way on one of the PPVs.

 

[Zack Ryder]

If they lose WrestleMania XXIX. Whichever member gets pinned, the other two will probably argue with him. Then they might replace him with some body else and call themselves The New Shield.

After Wrestlemania 29. And I'd be HAPPY! :yay:
