Finn Balor will have his work cut out for him dealing with the reunited Shield in the winter of 2019. He'll win the Royal Rumble, eliminating both Reigns and Ambrose to claim victory, but that will only make the target on his back larger. Reigns, Ambrose, and Rollins will spend February and March trying to take Balor out. He, Hideo Itami, and Sami Zayn will fall victim to The Shield at Fast Lane, but that won't dim Balor's focus as WrestleMania draws near. Balor and Rollins will have another classic at the show of shows, but a referee bump will allow Reigns and Ambrose to make their presence known. They'll attack the challenger, but when Balor leapfrogs a Spear that takes out Ambrose, the confused former WWE Champion will fall prey to a knee strike and a Coup de Grace. Rollins will then stumble into a Bloody Sunday from Balor, and another Coup de Grace will give the Irishman his second WWE Title.
