Yeah but it also helped that the Shield know how to work a match, and now that you have 3 guys coming In. I think everyone it just gonna compare them to what the shield did and that might bite them in the butt

True but Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper are good workers. Erick Rowan is a bit green but people thought the same about Roman Reigns when Shield debuted and he has surprised a lot of people. They will work a much different style anyway so hopefully people wont be expecting a copycat group.

Dolph needs that win if he's ever going to be more than midcard in WWE

I am still trying to figure out the benefits of him dropping the title to Del Rio at Payback. Such a bad move on WWE's part as it hurts the run of yet another potential maineventer.

Guess they just wanted to pull off the double turn. Although they still could have done it through a DQ win or something like that I guess,

Only thing i've come up with is Merch Dolphs sells Rios doesn't so the did the double turn to make it easier to market?

I know Luke is solid but I hope for the sake of the groupe Bray is above what he was when he was Husky.

I'm guessing WWE saw how they fans were reacting for both men and figured for this double turn to work Dolph needed to drop the belt.

It can work well if Dolph eventually gets the bet back at the right time and gets a good run with it. Doubting that Del Rio with the belt is a long term thing.

I guess they figured Dolph would get more fans trying to win back the belt as a face then just turning face as champ. Make sense, I'm still not a fan though.
