Don't let #1-wwf-fan let you hear that!
I am yet to see this match, but while it does seem a mis-match on paper, I think if people are going to buy The Shield as threats, they needed to show that they can hang with some big names.
If you need a kayfabe explanation as to why they were able to win against Ryback and the Tag Champs, you can always point to that unknown quality they have. Ryback, Kane & Bryan could not prepare effectively because they were essentially up against ghosts, while their work is well publicised. Plus, there is that chemistry factor. And the fact that The Shield have been attacking these guys for weeks and Triple Powerbombing them to heck.
Also, Seth Rollins will have potential as a Jeff Hardy-like babyface. This heel run will show what he can do as a gloomy and serious personality before people get behind him and he starts to move merchandise. If Roman Reigns keeps improving and doesn't upset anyone with silly antics, he will be pushed as a huge star. It'll just be whether or not his natural charisma is enough to make it stick. Dean Ambrose will be able to sell himself, and is likely to get a nice run as a top heel that causes havoc for some folks.
Can't see any member of this group "failing" to be honest. Especially with them now being pushed so strongly out the gate. Hopefully more impressive NXT talent gets the opportunity to step onto the big stage if these guys prove the model to work.
