Which to me, supports the notion that the WWE should re-unite The Shield.....and for good this time.

-Find a way for Smackdown to trade Ambrose back to RAW before Mania.
-At Wrestlemania, have one of Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns go up against Brock Lesnar in the main-event.
-During the match, the other two members of The Shield interfere and help Reigns/Rollins destroy Lesnar.

Doing this would likely make The Shield heel or tweener (guage the crowd on RAW the next night), but over the long term, if they are pushed right, the fans will flat out cheer them as faces.

The thing for me is this: The WWE literally has no one right now to fill the shoes of Cena. Yes, Cena is still around, but it's in a part-time capacity now. There is no other 'one guy' right now capable of drawing......or bringing in WWE Network subscriptions (if that's the new standard-bearer metric).

The Shield, in its entirety, is the only thing capable.
