10 Booking Steps For The Shield's 2017 Reunion
6. Trouble Begins To Brew At The Rumble
Now we get to Royal Rumble 2017, with all three men entering the Rumble match at different times. Perhaps have Dean as the plucky ironman, Seth as his backup midway through the bout, and Reigns as the big clean-up enforcer in the latter stages.
Unfortunately for fans of The Shield (ie. just about everyone), this is where chinks in the armour will start to appear. As individual glory looms, Roman should attempt to eliminate his partners, only for them to survive, and partake in a dramatic mid-ring showdown.
Maybe an exhausted Ambrose could then try to take advantage, only to also be thwarted. Crucially, Rollins should play peacemaker throughout this.
This infighting would then lead to the elimination of all three Shield members by other opponents. None are able to win the match and compete for a world title at WrestleMania.
