In all honesty: anything less than the Shield getting squashed is ridiculous
 

Bryan is the best submission wrestler in the WWE. Kane is massive and a multi time champ. Ryback is a beast and could Shellshock all three at once. The Shield consists of two midgets and one guy of average size. How they can possibly pose a threat to these three is ridiculous and I. Don't understand how this wasn't pointed out from the beginning.

Well Bryan is a midget too. You've recognized a skill from him. How do you know that Dean Ambrose doesn't have a skill that makes him better than Daniel Bryan?

Ryback should probably come close to being arrested for the disgusting manslaughter he commits on them though. If Ryback doesn't come out of this match looking terrifying, WWE fails.

Oh yeah? Well once the referee is out and BRAD FUCKING MADDOX runs down with a steel chair and pretty boy face to take out Ryback and give the SHIELD the win, you'll be sorry.

It's pretty obvious the Shield is gonna win b/c Punk, Ziggler, Heyman, Lesnar, and that other dude are all members and are gonna interfere and cost the faces the match.

They could have that match on early though and have SHIELD look like a threat again later on by costing Cena his match, claiming it's wrong for Dolph to have to defend his MITB.

because Daniel Bryan has a beard.

It's not going to be a DX vs. Spirit Squad Squash, they wouldn't do that to their 'hot' new angle.

well Ryback can't Shellshock one Tensai so I don't know how we can take him seriously

plus he's only 6'2" with no mic skills, vanilla midget to the max

Ryback is gonna Shellshock you in a m?inute!

You're a really optimistic person.

Hope Kane sets fire to Seth Rollins and gets that stupid blonde out of his hair.

Id much rather watch the Spirit Squad than these three.

I've watched Ambrose and I know he has his sadistic crazy side that I think will come into play in this match. As for the other two. I dunno how you make them into viable threats. Seth can wrestle really fucking well. But he's not some violent brawler. He's a good junior heavyweight technical wrestler. How these guys can take on Ryback and Kane and make it believable will be a tough test in itself.

If Ambrose were 6"6 275 that'd be awesome, but I can't take him seriously against Ryback and Kane no matter how crazy.

In short, the WWE has booked themselves into a corner yet again. Ryback has already lost two straight PPV's so you're already on the brink of totally killing his momentum. On the flip side, having the Shield booked as being dominant and then losing totally kills them too. Ryback, Kane and Bryan SHOULD destroy these fuckes as none of them with maybe the exception of Ambrose has any upside at all. But I have a feeling this won't happen.

I can see something where Reigns or Ambrose pick up the win over Daniel Bryan, then Ryback lays them out for revenge.

I'm guessing that's what's gonna happen. Still though, that's three straight ppv losses for Ryback. Not good.

Ryback still has momentum. Look at his 2 PPV losses. A shady ref at HIAC, The Shield Attack at SS (not to mention Ryback was not the one pinned). I think Inno may be right about how the match will play out.

I never understand this logic. You're watching a television show where Rey Mysterio is a 2 time world heavyweight champion and a former WWE champion. Why can't the smaller guy, especially a group of heels who are on the same page and can use cunning, win?

For the record I don't understand the Mysterio thing either.

Maybe more men. This is basically an indy group. Wouldn't be surprised if Kassius Ohno ended up in there. And Adrian Neville. Maybe even Richie Steamboat. Or they could be lead by Bray Whyatt even. I dunno who else is in NXT at the moment.

Yeah I have a feeling Punk will interfere or possibly Brock Lesnar will take out Ryback leading to a match between the two at the Royal Rumble. dunno.

I hope it is elimination and they end up with Ryback and two members of the shield left or something. It'd be cool if Other members debuted at TLC.

Big E Langston would get me interested as they'd have a true power guy who Roills and Ambrose could hide behind. Reigns as their "enforcer" is stupid and if you've seen him on NXT, he's sooooooo boring in the ring. Kic, punch, punch, kick, "Mark of Excellence" finisher. His offense is like Drew McIntyre's.

And for the love of God don't bring up Ohno. He's horribly bland and has the body type of a 15 year old. His gimmick as a knockout artist is the worst gimmick in NXT.

Ambrose is 6'4'', hardly a midget.....

They need to find a way to take Ryback out of the equation using some huge way to keep him down, think handcuffs except bigger because they should book Ryback as able to break out of handcuffs. They need to literally park a forklift truck on his head or something, then have The Shield scrape out the win from Kane and Bryan.

Think like others have said the Shield would win by having others running in during the match like a Punk or Maddox. Maybe even Ziggler if the Shield beat down of Cena goes deeper than just a random attack.

BRAY WYATT.

Bring him down to interfere and it turns out that his teachings are what gave The SHIELD their sense of right and wrong.

luke harper would be a nice addition..6'7 270 and just looks crazy (maybe even crazier than ambrose) may be a bit green though so should spend a little more time in development.

to keep this angle going shield HAS to win. a loss here takes away all momentum(ie nexus losing at SS) ryback already looks dominant and a win here does absolutely nothing for him. the shield going over 3 top guys will put them up that much more.

If Bray Wyatt debuts, then fuck Bryan and Kane. One of them can take a pinfall. Bray Wyatt debuting supersedes everything else.

Will he bring his hobo wrestler with him from NXT or not?

Aces and Eights.

No shame in Ambrose losing after a chair shot from Ryback.

Bray Wyatt is a special talent. Id rather save him, Harper and Rowan for something completely different.

He also weighs like 50 pounds

Nothing 6-8 can't fix.

I dont get why Ryback is having so much trouble when hes been squashing guys like them for a year in handicap matches....

Well, obviously they want to build them up as more of a threat than the random jobbers Ryback was squashing.

I never really cared for Brodie Lee, he doesn't give off that "big man" aura for me. Where you see him walking down to the ring and think, "oh man he's gonna kill someone" (he has the Eli Cottonwood/ Kurrgan feel to him) If I were to add a member, I would add Big E Langston. Former powerlifter (has that low massive build), been with the company for a few years, I think he'd be more of a better enforcer than Luke Harper.
