I have to be honest -- the mystique of having Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns clash was kind of broken as soon as they started wrestling on RAW. While I enjoy both guys' personas, they kind of need to be surrounded by great performers in the ring to live up to the ideas people have for them. If RAW were a test, I'd actually have to say that both men failed. Wyatt's segment with Cena was great, and the interactions between Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt was great, but as soon as they got in the ring it really needed Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper and even Erick Rowan to lighten it up.
If The Shield breaks up, I could actually see a very quick revolt against Roman Reigns. Especially if he becomes your stereotypical WWE babyface character. A Triple Threat at WrestleMania could very easily feature Dean Ambrose as the guy being cheered. A Spear by Reigns and the pin for the title could lead to an initial "YAY!" from women and children, only for the crowd to very quickly remember "Hang on, this isn't what we want," and the heat to start coming in. Sort of like the Sheamus World Title victory over Daniel Bryan. Even worse would be a quiet crowd.
Part of me is thinking that the best thing going forward might be for The Shield to remain together. Or at least wait until WrestleMania to turn Ambrose (The Shield would be de facto faces against The Wyatt Family if Cena is hurt).
