It should have ended back at Mania XXX.
Yes it fucking should have. The Authority was built around Daniel Bryan, and Bryan beat them. But no, we had to keep milking it, had to keep trotting them out.
And you know who have been hurt the most by the Authority, aside from Daniel Bryan? The Shield guys. The booking that has followed Rollins, Reigns and Ambrose has been fucking baffling since their break-up. You pull the trigger on a Shield break-up so you can get a shock pop, but guess what numb-nuts? No one bothered to think that
maybe the three guys were undercooked as single guys beforehand, so now you're stuck. What's that? You want to push Reigns as top guy but Ambrose is the only guy who was given any sort of singles focus in the Shield but you don't want to pull the trigger? Greeeeeeaaaatttttt. Now Ambrose is the one pulling Looney Tunes pranks while Reigns is off delivering stupid promos, giving Stephanie a roofie, and feuding with Big Show. Roman never seems to care, especially when put next to Ambrose. Then you give Seth the win in the feud, but OH NO! Randy is doing nothing in The Authority so we've gotta turn him face. Then Roman gets his push, but guess what? No one cares. You tethered all of the Shield guys to the Authority so now when Roman wants the title, it's undercooked. And also Ambrose is feuding for the IC title. So Reigns backfires, and come WM 31 Rollins loses, and Reigns gets smacked around until Seth cashes in.
AND THEN YOU MAKE HIM FEUD WITH AMBROSE. WHO LOSES THE FEUD AFTER EVERY MATCH ENDS WITH SHENANIGANS.
