WWE Rumour: Will The Shield Feud With Brock Lesnar?

A reunion has been discussed with Brock Lesnar as their target.

Take this rumour with a grain of salt, but Wrestlechat reports that WWE may be planning to reunite The Shield this summer, with WWE Champion Rollins going babyface. The website claims that at one point the plan was for the newly reunited Shield to make it their mission to take down The Authority with Rollins going after Kane and Triple H, which would have led to Stephanie McMahon bringing back Brock Lesnar from suspension. That storyline didn't quite play out as we saw Brock Lesnar return as babyface on this week's Raw but Wrestlechat claims the plan to reunite The Shield this summer could still be in the works. If this storyline were to take place, WWE would have to turn Lesnar back into a heel, which is entirely possible if he did a double turn with Rollins in their Battleground match. If they did something where instead of Lesnar beating Rollins for the WWE Title, he attacked him with the help of Triple H, Kane and others leading to Rollins being looked at as a sympathetic figure. Then a reunion of The Shield could be built up and WWE can go with that as the main story.
The Shield's return has been hinted at several times recently including in the main event at Payback. In addition to that, Rollins and Reigns said a reunion of the group was likely at recent Q&A's at Comic Con events that they were a part of as well.
