The trio known as The Shield have been rumored to break up since Survivor Series when they celebrated their one year anniversary by having Roman Reigns last as the sole survivor in an elimination match. Most of us figured at that point that Reigns was the next "chosen one" by management and it was only a matter of time until he became a babyface star. With WrestleMania coming up in less than four weeks, it appears as though the breakup of the group isn't going to happen yet. They're holding it off. It's the right move. Look at the WrestleMania card, with the big matches already in place like Undertaker vs. Lesnar, Bryan vs. Triple H, Cena vs. Wyatt and Orton vs. Batista vs. Bryan (probably), it's going to be hard for any other match to make a huge impact. Those matches are all going to get 15 minutes or more and everything else will get significantly less. There are seven reasons why WWE is doing the right thing by waiting before they unleash Reigns, Ambrose and Rollins against each other. Here's a look at them.
7. Fans Are Warming Up To Them

Ever since the story with The Wyatt Family started the fans have started to cheer them because they respect them for all the great work they've done over the last year and it has put them in a new position. What's interesting is that while Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are clearly getting positive reactions from the fans, Dean Ambrose is getting more of a mixed reaction although it's been getting better over recent weeks. When he was alone fighting the Wyatts on Raw a couple of weeks ago he really showed some good babyface fire. Rollins has the tools to be a natural babyface. He's the high flyer that can wow the fans with his aerial moves and is one of the faster guys. Reigns is obviously going to be positioned as a babyface, so it's not a bad thing to have him in the role while he still has his buddies by his side.
