I completely agree with this. Those six-man tags were phenomenal and a highlight of the program each week. They were possibly the best thing about wrestling at the time, and it's rare when the WWE is producing the best thing in wrestling consistently.

Mainly some match quality and hopefully as something you can eventually build-up to being a worthy "special attraction." When you hear "Six-Man Tag Team Championship," you think "fuck, that is going to be wild."

Well, if you put together those teams, in regular tag team competition you'd still have American Alpha, The Usos, The Revival and DIY. You could call up TM61 and put Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann together as a permanent tag team. 2H2H -- "Too Hot To Handle" -- or something. The Dusty Classic has introduced us to the idea of Hideo Itami & Kota Ibushi as a team.

The WWE's tag team division has never run on depth. Historically, you've always only had a few over teams who manage to capture imaginations at the time. The 2000-period was Edge & Christian, The Hardys and The Dudleys. Sure, Too Cool and the APA were over, but they felt like they were quite a few notches below in terms of importance.

If you have a tag division of The Usos, Alpha, Revival and DIY, you've already got, potentially, one of the most exciting divisions the company has ever had.

In WWE that would be a constant. Like instead of just Cesaro and Sheamus theyed probably throw Sami Zayn in there. Really dont see any reason for the Shield to reform. It makes sense in ROH as they have the agreement with NJPW and CMLL as both promotions have 6man championships. In WWE it would just feel out of place I think.
My big thing with The Shield guys is that I have stopped caring. Seth Rollins was booked atrociously as champion, but his face turn has been rather soft. The end game of him fighting Triple H is not something I am particularly keen on. Hell, I saw it when Seth Rollins was part of The Shield, and it was more excellent then than it will be now.

Roman Reigns as United States Champion is fine, but the WWE have smashed him right into the ground. I would have put the belt on him at Clash of Champions, but I didn't expect the crowd to be as ambivalent as they were. "The plan" is not going to get back on track. People still see the strings and will ALWAYS reject it.

Dean Ambrose, sadly, has stopped entertaining me. He was always my favorite member of The Shield, but he's getting stale as the guy in jeans who does "crazy!" topes that barely look like they touch. He's never been more credible than the gum-chewing renegade he was in The Shield, and he's honestly never been cooler.

The reason you would put them back together, is because they are worth so much more as the greatest faction in WWE history than they are three guys that have all held the World Title and US Title, but haven't drawn a dime between them since the split. Sorry to channel Mike Graham there, but they have all had a turn and I'm burnt out on the guys. Maybe I'm in the minority there, but with all three being "faces" (has Seth actually turned yet), this seems like the best opportunity to put them together, and try to sell some action figures and t-shirts.
