The Wyatt Family are the ones to be booked as unstoppable. Bray is outstanding in his character, and Rowan/Harper are fucking beasts. WAY more interesting than The Shield.

I think the day of the Megastar is over. The closest thing we have to it is Cena. Even the Rock wasn't as big coming back as he was during the Attitude era. I don't even see Ryback as being the next Batista honestly.

I wouldn't mind being wrong about this, but haven't we been waiting for the next big wave of wrestling fans to make the industry main-stream for a while now? Hogan, Sting, Nash, Hall started the decline in interest when WCW went away. When they returned even Hogan VS. Rock and the NWO revival (botched as it was) didn't really bring things back to the level they were before. When Austin went away along with Mankind and Rock I feel like the age of the Megastar died (no Mankind wasn't a "Megastar", but he was close and good at getting guys crazy over ie. Rock, Triple H and Undertaker to a certain extent).

So I'm not worried about the Shield becoming Megastars, doubt they'll ever be anywhere near that level, but neither will Ryback, of Kofi or CM Punk or Daniel Bryan or Curt Axel.

I'm on board with the thinking that Ryback should have never been booked against Punk. I hated it. I still think that they could have done Punk vs. Vince McMahon and had Punk get heat by kicking the shit out an old man. Say what you want about Vince, but people care about him and it'd be intriguing to see the owner fight a guy he's taller than lol.

And while I disagree with Ryback losing all the time, the fact is he's still contending for the WWE Title. That's what I mean when I say his push has never faltered. He's been on every PPV since he's main evented, which is more than, say, The Miz can claim.

I don't understand Ryback not beating Henry at WrestleMania either. That shit was stupid. He even then hit the Shell Shock on Henry. That was just bizarre. It's like they wanted another loss on Ryback just as a fuel for the heel turn, but they could have created a more energetic feud by just having Ryback target Cena and him actually have taken down the strongest man in the world at WrestleMania.

I still think that the WrestleMania card was all out of whack this year. I really believe that perfect booking for Ryback at WrestleMania would have been for him to have gotten into a verbal altercation with Big Show back when Show was the World Heavyweight Champion. Ryback would attack Big Show after he beat Sheamus in a World Title match and lay out Big Show with some Meat Hook clotheslines. Dolph Ziggler would then cash in and become the new World Heavyweight Champion. Big Show would then attack Ryback during the Royal Rumble Match and toss him out of the match, ruining Ryback's dreams of making it to the main event of the biggest show of the year. That would clear the way for John Cena or Chris Jericho to win the Rumble and set up Rock vs. Cena vs. Punk, Ziggler vs. Jericho and Show vs. Ryback as big matches for the show. As for what The Undertaker would do? If Taker were willing to work with him, you could put him against Sheamus, who has listed Taker as a dream opponent. As for what you do with Del Rio and Jack Swagger, who Ziggler and Jericho would have replaced in the title program? You have Del Rio win the United States Championship from Antonio Cesaro heading into WrestleMania and Del Rio talks about how proud he is to be US Champion and all that, and that's when you have Swagger return and target Del Rio. Their feud was pretty much treated as a mid-card rivalry anyway, and it wasn't promoted as the main event level attraction a World Title match at WrestleMania should be.

And just for fun, since this thread is about them, you have Randy Orton, Triple H and Batista team up to take on The Shield -- reuniting Evolution against the new faction on the block. Brock Lesnar would then take on Shawn Michaels in an Unsanctioned Street Fight, having lost to Triple H at Elimination Chamber due to HBK getting involved and helping his friend out. The Street Fight stipulation is used so that they can still bill HBK as being "retired." Throw in some solid championships matches -- Team Hell No defending the Tag Titles against the sudden alliance between Antonio Cesaro & Kassius Ohno; Wade Barrett defending the Intercontinental Title against The Miz with David Otunga as the special referee (Otunga's past alliance with Wade Barrett is brought up by The Miz, and Barrett points out that The Miz teamed with Otunga at WrestleMania the year previous); Kaitlyn defending the Divas Title against her ex-best friend; and a "good for either championship" Money in the Bank Ladder Match and you've got a stacked, but great WrestleMania card.

The Shield are still working so well together, but I feel that Dean Ambrose seems to be running a little bit further with this thing than Rollins or Reigns are managing to. Both are doing great, and Rollins is especially into his role, but Ambrose seems the most notable of the three thus far.

Really hope that at SummerSlam, Ambrose vs. Jericho happens for the US Title. I can't think of a challenger for Ambrose that I'd rather see more.

Looking back in retrospect, I think the WWE may have made a mistake in splitting up The Shield after Wrestlemania that one year.

The Shield were hot as fuck, and The Shield/Wyatt Family feud still had a lot of untapped potential.

Would've been after WM 31 in 2014, and to be more specific, the night after Payback 2014 on RAW, June 2, 2014 when Rollins turned heel and attacked Ambrose and Reigns.

Besides for a Wyatt Family feud there was nothing else for them to do. And honestly, they just beat Orton, HHH, and Batista multiple times super cleanly. Were the Wyatts really going to contend with the Shield?
