10 Booking Steps For The Shield's 2017 Reunion
4. Reigns Leaves The Group
The next week, the first real split should occur with Roman Reigns leaving the group - but not by physically turning on either of his partners. He should instead leave in the most Roman Reigns way possible: by simply declaring himself above all this nonsense, announcing his intention to go after the Universal Championship once again, and walking away.
This would, of course, get Reigns a lot of heat - and that's no bad thing! By this stage, WWE seem ready to recognise Roman as a heel in all but name, and having him act smug and superior about a collective the fans hold dear would feed into this wonderfully.
