Don't panic when you read that headline, because it doesn't relate to The Shield. It has way, way, way more to do with the temporary alliance fostered by Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley; as a side note, this is Drew's second temp group in less than a year. Remember that 'Dogs Of War' thing he had going with Braun Strowman and Dolph Ziggler?

That was D-Generation X compared to this.

McIntyre belongs in a higher spot at WrestleMania, and he's not exactly going to get that if he's chumming along with Corbin and Lashley. The best solution here is that Roman Reigns picks up a crowd-pleasing pin over Baron and everyone moves on to greener pastures.

Whether WWE fancy flirting with a Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose match at New Jersey is up to them. Just...get rid of this pretence that three guys who just formed are a legit threat to one of the greatest factions of all time.
