WWE.com comments on the Shield

[Stopspot]

If you had asked the WWE Universe who Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns were in the first 11 months of 2012, there’s a strong chance you’d have gotten a blank stare and a raised eyebrow. Now, of course, it’s a different story. Ever since this triumvirate of NXT Superstars surged into Survivor Series and laid waste to Ryback, “The Shield” has inspired untold unease among the ranks of WWE Superstars, leaving them to wonder who will be next in their crosshairs. Claiming to defend “justice” in a WWE that allegedly lacks it, the trio was hardly shy in choosing its targets: John Cena, Ryback, Randy Orton, Team Hell No, and others who they believe embody a broken system that they swore to change before NXT. With Ambrose as the group’s mouthpiece, Rollins as its daredevil and Reigns as its bruiser, The Shield made its biggest statement yet by defeating Team Hell No & Ryback in a brutal Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match at WWE TLC, ensuring their reign of terror would continue well into 2013. And the scary thing is, they’re just getting warmed up.

Nice text, nice to see that they can establish roles for all three without pointing out a clear leader, helps building mystique.

I wonder if he'll do a Barrett, I have a horrible feeling of dread saying that actually.

 

[HHHBestHeelEver]

I think that what makes this stable likeable is precissally the lack of a leader per sei, we all know ambrose looks to be the one but the fact that they don´t show it on tv makes it more appealing

 

[Crayo]

Please don't mention Barrett, if the same happens to Ambrose I might have to just revert back to being a huge casual fan and supporting Sheamus. The heart break would be unquestionably horrible.

Agreed that their lack of a leader is what helps make them stand out in comparison with past groups. And their lack of a manager. I also hope they aren't eventually revealed to just be in cahoots with Punk since it would kinda ruin their gimmick.

I wonder how long they will all dress the same.

The bullet proof looking vests with 300 pockets make me laugh a bit. I don't see why they don't just wear all black, the vests really aren't needed :dawg:

The vests "shield" their chests? :urm:

lol at how basically only Crayo said "Ambrose is obviously the leader" 1:

It's so obvious that it doesn't even need to be mentioned ity:

As I said before, Cornwall fags automatically assume he's the leader and stuff. :dawg:

I already knew who they were in the beginning of the year. And Reigns wasn't even Reigns, he was Leakee. #IWCBadass

Though, I do think there's a big chance of them being in cahoots with CM Punk, mostly because of the lie detector test on Miz TV. He lied about believing he could defeat Ryback cleanly by himself and it sort of implied that he was also lying about not being in cahoots with Maddox and the Shield before the test was interrupted.

I definitely know Punk and Heyman were in cahoots with Maddox because of Heyman pulling Maddox away to talk for a bit.
