I guarantee the pop would be insane if it ended with the three of them staring each other down, then doing the fists-together pose followed by the classic shield music. Actually, have them start the Reigns solo version, then have Reigns cut it off and say on the mic "play the RIGHT verson."

I just teared up a bit just thinking about it.

Then Reigns NEVER speaks again except to cap off the other two with a single line.
That's part of the reason I kind of want to see Gallows & Anderson with Jericho. Right now, Jericho actually gets heat. He's been getting some wins and he actually beat AJ Styles at WrestleMania. It would make sense for Gallows & Anderson to want to align with the bigger lion. AJ knocks back their help, they help Jericho against Ambrose (which commentary can sell as a preemptive on Ambrose due to his Reigns connection) and then attack both Reigns & Styles after the match, with Jericho revealing himself to be behind it. The main event of Extreme Rules is then Reigns, Ambrose & Styles vs. Jericho, Anderson & Gallows. You also probably get Shane McMahon fighting Triple H for control of RAW or something.

Styles works too well as a face at the moment. Sure, a heel turn might eventually increase his value, but I feel like you have to put the WWE World Title on him to do that, and that would mean the belt moving around way too much. I wouldn't object to it happening, but I think they're pushing way too much into that little sphere there. Jericho can always be knocked off later by Gallows & Anderson when they get their feet wet a bit more. Balor can replace him when he's up there.

Ah, fuck it -- just do the Styles turn. It'll be glorious once it happens.
