How strongly booked were they? People 'believed' in The Shield so religiously that social media flooded with outrage the moment Seth Rollins turned heel. You have to remember, this was before Roman Reigns became the punching bag of the hostile fanbase, when he, Rollins, and Dean Ambrose blended smooth teamwork and a collectively-unfazed demeanor, captivating WWE audiences the world over. The brilliance of the gimmick is that no three men, no matter their star wattage, could come together and defeat the well-oiled mercenaries, who functioned with one mindset, in spite of their three very different ring styles. Wanna get Reigns over once more? Have him, Ambrose, and Rollins hold their fists out together once more. Oh, and never let him speak again.
