I am loving The Shield so far. Ambrose is just a cool cat, and there's that "loose cannon" vibe about him that makes him seem more dangerous than he looks. People talk about how Rollins is a terrible talker, but has anyone actually listened to a promo from the guy? He's not the best ever, but he's nowhere near terrible. Reigns seems to be doing a "silent ass-kicker" thing, and that might work for him. The dude is clearly charismatic and that's something you can't teach. Get behind that and let it become more evident as the group goes on.
The plan for the WWE Title picture would seem to indicate that Punk will beat Ryback and then move onto The Rock at the Royal Rumble. It'd be interesting to see how Roman Reigns will play into that, given that he and The Rock are family. I could see a storyline where Reigns decides to "sit this one out" and lets Ambrose and Rollins do what they have to do against The Rock at the Rumble. They beat down The Rock as it looks like he is about to win the WWE Title when Reigns marches down from the back as Ambrose & Rollins look confused. You then have two options:
A) Reigns helps The Shield beat-down The Rock and CM Punk retain the WWE Title. Reigns informs the WWE Universe that this mission is even more important than his family, and The Shield will right the injustices of the WWE, etc. This leads to The Rock teaming up with Ryback against Ambrose, Rollins & Reigns at WrestleMania for some revenge against the family member that betrayed him and the group that has been causing Ryback and himself so much grief.
B) Reigns helps The Rock out, turns face, and The Shield go after their former member, and perhaps add another member of the NXT roster to their ranks (Kassius Ohno?). Reigns then teams with The Rock and Ryback at WrestleMania to face The Shield.
The aim of this group seems to be to create new stars, so what bigger way to make them by having them rub shoulders with The Great One?
