10 Booking Steps For The Shield's 2017 Reunion
Ambrose and Rollins look to be back together! (For the time being...)
This week's Monday Night Raw saw the apparent reunion of Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, an event which has predictably sent the internet all aquiver. It seems as though the possibility of a Shield reunion has been talked about since Rollins first blindsided Roman Reigns with that steel chair, a storyline which unbelievably took place over three years ago.
Since then, we've seen several teases of a reunion of the trio - most notably at last year's Survivor Series, when despite being on different teams, Rollins and Reigns teamed up with Ambrose to slam AJ Styles through the announce table.
However, on this week's edition of Monday Night Raw, we may have seen the real thing - or at least two-thirds of the real thing. Ambrose and Rollins finally gave the old Shield fist bump after weeks of teasing, and were immediately booked into a tag title match by Kurt Angle this Sunday.
The possibilities from here seem numerous. How long will the partnership last? Will one turn on the other? Will Roman Reigns get involved?
Here, we're going to attempt to book a compelling Shield reunion angle - stretching from this Sunday's SummerSlam PPV to WrestleMania 34, and beyond.
10. They Win The Tag Titles At SummerSlam
The first port of call for Rollins and Ambrose should be victory on Sunday, as much of a shame as that is for Sheamus and Cesaro.
The makeshift tag team have developed into one of the most entertaining duos in WWE, first as faces then heels - but unfortunately their title reign must be sacrificed for the benefit of a larger storyline.
That's not to say Rollins and Ambrose should steamroll their opponents. It should be a very competitive bout, one which sees Dean and Seth really learn how to work together again en route to victory.
As new tag champs, the storyline can begin in earnest.
