Honestly, whilst Christian is amazing and all, him being revealed as the leader of The Shield will go down just as bad as D'Lo Brown and Taz being revealed as key members in Aces And Eights. He's beyond irrelevant right now and has been that way for a good year and a half, and his star power just isn't big enough to warrant a big surprise return reveal as The Shields leader.

If Christian, or any superstar at that were to take over the Shield it would end up like Nexus when Punk took it over because then it wouldn't be focused on the members of the group, but rather the already established superstar that's heading it.

But The Nexus never focused on any of the members of the group other than Wade Barrett before Punk came, and by that point Wade was gone. That group was doomed to fail, way before Punk took over it. Can't compare the two in any way whatsoever.

I'm sure if someone like Randy Orton took over the group that Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose would still get a lot of attention, if not more. Right now they've played second fiddle to pretty much everything even while being the most entertaining thing on the roster, with someone like Orton taking over the group they could garner a lot of momentum if Orton is pushed accordingly.

Good point, Barrett, but still with someone stepping in to The Shield it just doesn't seem right. I would say let the new guys have their group as it is now. I think all three members are getting equal attention and I find it to be working very well for all three. This group isn't something that I see being around pass Summerslam, so I wouldn't bother adding any other members.

I do agree that if someone were to be added, Orton would be a good pick being that the last two people he worked with improved, even though DiBiase is nowhere to be found even before his injury.

Eh, eventually they'll need an extra edge. They're red hot right now but they can only stay that way with continued momentum, and that can't be gotten with beating Ryback and his two chosen partners every PPV.

Orton going into the ME Scene on RAW allied with them would give them a lot more exposure and put them right back into the main storyline. Right now they just seem like an afterthought, even whilst being the best thing on the roster that is being pushed dominantly.

I hope not, The Shield don't need Christian.

Christian will just sit out WM 29, and him being revealed as the Shield leader would be really awful, no need for it at all.
