Sit by Mr. Pierre’s Pool: Is the investment of the Shield a flop?

[Mr. Pierre]

So...looking at this long-term project in 2020, is the Shield a flop?

The WWE put tons of time, money, merchandise, and promotion into Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose.

Debuting in 2012, the three wrestlers had a huge, immediate impact on the company’s weekly presentation.

8 years later, do you think this investment has lived up to its potential?

Roman unfortunately has had serious health issues and there’s an argument that he took much longer than expected to become a true, main event star.

Seth has recently hit the “reset” button and developed a new character.

Dean was settled as a staple of this generation’s mid-card which is still a void to this day. Ambrose’s WWE fate has been sealed for the moment.

With that being said, did the Shield deliver?
