Ambrose would have been too much like Orton. I guess this Evolution iteration is fine with me.

Was Tyler Black a good heel? lol

Nooooooooope.

 

[Gorillaz]

For the most part it was a good stable while it lasted

losing them now is what is rough since most of the stuff is kind of "ehh" right now

 

[Sblargh]

Wow.

Legit Shook for realsies here.

 

[blackaroni]

Sadly, this means Rollins gets more mic time.

 

[Penguin]

I didn't expect him to turn

Hell didn't expect a turn tonight from The SHIELD

 

[strobogo]

Make me a video of you doing it, strobogo.

I will you piece of shit. I'm in terrible shape and I can do it.

 

[Vylash]

Sadly, this means Rollins gets more mic time.

He's been improving a lot and can actually hold his own on the mic now

 

[Anth0ny]

Actually, I'm okay with this. They reached the pinnacle. They could go no higher. It was time for a change.

It's true. There's literally nowhere they could go at this point, besides, like... 5 months of Wyatts 6 man tags.

The split makes sense at this point. They're keeping Reigns with Ambrose to mask some of his weaknesses for a while longer. Wouldn't be surprised if Roman won the Rumble next year and was placed in the title picture, at this pace.

 

[Serpentine]

shield

 

[TimeEffect]

What was next for the shield? They have run riot through every heel on the roster just about as a team and it was awesome. But now these young guys can go at is as singles wrestlers.

Shake hands and disband, dammit!

I can't stand this breakup. It was such a perfect bromance, with Ambrose always carried out by Reigns like a little brother.

Also, I really thought Ambrose was in on it, it's really funny to see him continue to be such a face, because he's got slimeball written all over him.

 

[darkside31337]

How long have you been watching?

Rollins walked out on the Shield and explained

they were nothing without him

He is the architech

Exactly.

Even with the flow of the match last night, they were getting decimated until Rollins saved them by taking out all 3 at once from the ramp spot.

Wish they did the break up on on a bigger venue than a regular Raw though. Best thing in the WWE over the last 2 years.

 

[TheChits]

Agreed. They were the greatest stable in recent memory. They didn't fuck them up guys. We saw where it went, and it was great.

"It's a llama mask, bro."

; _ ;

This is still so good.

 

[Data West]

Woulda been Ambrose like I said before, but we know Trips likes to prove the internet wrong.

high flying heels is almost never a good idea, but we'll see how it goes.

 

[bigkrev]

There was nothing left for them to do, but it's bittersweet to see them broken up.

Would not be surprised to see Ambrose turn as well in the next few weeks, and a horseman beat down coming for Reigns.

 

[Joeki11a]

Cm Punk is coming back this confirms it

 

[Heel]

I want to hear friend Heel's thoughts about this.

The way I see it, this could go two ways:

A) Seth has been chosen as the breakout singles star. Reigns and Rollins stuck in tag team limbo, jobbing to The Usos.

B) The Shield is reinvigorated by a new third member via a highly-anticipated, ratings-driving debut by The Man They Call Sting.

 

[Phatmac]

I'm bummed. The shield were great for a long time. I guess it had to happen.. RIP Shield

 

[Ithil]

Shake hands and disband, dammit!

I can't stand this breakup. It was such a perfect bromance, with Ambrose always carried out by Reigns like a little brother.

Also, I really thought Ambrose was in on it, it's really funny to see him continue to be such a face, because he's got slimeball written all over him.

For a natural heel, Ambrose is actually a terrific face in peril.

 

[charsace]

Nooooooooope.

He's been great the last 2 years in the shield. Right now he is the complete package as a wrestler. He reminds me of Shawn Michaels.

 

[BadAss2961]

Only caught the last hour. Crowd was turrible. What did they do to put them to sleep like that?

 

[somedevil]

I bet at Money in the Bank you get Rollins vs Ambrose to build him up and Reigns vs Randy Orton. Then at Battleground Rollins vs Reigns and finally Reigns versus Triple H at Summerslam.

 

[blackaroni]

He's been improving a lot and can actually hold his own on the mic now

He still rambles too damn much.

Trips rubbing up on Roman's chest.

 

[Man God]

SMH, just copying TNA once again, SMH.

 

[Jimmy King]

Now that The Shield is over, can we admit their best in ring stuff was against Team Hell No and their random partner of the night?

 

[HerbertFish]

Sadly, this means Rollins gets more mic time.

Don't know about that. Ambrose is decent on the mic but Reigns is awful. Now he's behind one of the GOAT talkers and Orton. Probably less talking.

 

[Sblargh]

Now Rollins goes after Bryan's titles and become the ultimate heel?

 

[toddhunter]

Cm Punk is coming back this confirms it

A real like-for-like replacement for Batista

 

[BadAss2961]

Now that The Shield is over, can we admit their best in ring stuff was against Team Hell No and their random partner of the night?

Their best run was against the Wyatt family.

 

[Judderman]

Now that The Shield is over, can we admit their best in ring stuff was against Team Hell No and their random partner of the night?

They made me enjoy six-man tag team matches. Their matches against the Wyatt's were the best.

 

[spindashing]

Nooooooooope.

Wellllll....fuck.

 

[Jimmy King]

Their best run was against the Wyatt family.

Nah it's not even close.

 

[plagiarize]

Seth is a great heel though. He did great heel work in the Indies and I'm sure he was great when shield were heels. So I'm fine with him turning.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

The way I see it, this could go two ways:

A) Seth has been chosen as the breakout singles star. Reigns and Rollins stuck in tag team limbo, jobbing to The Usos.

B) The Shield is reinvigorated by a new third member via a highly-anticipated, ratings-driving debut by The Man They Call Sting.

Funny Man Steve Borden would do wonders for the Shield.

Good call as always, friend.

 

[slightconfuse]

Seth went CZW on ambrose .

End of an era. No D-Bryan or Shield matches in the future. WWE is looking even darker now

 

[Data West]

Now Rollins goes after Bryan's titles and become the ultimate heel?

Rollins gets fed to Reigns. Bryan will continue to feud with Kane.
Bray will come back as a face, and I don't know who they'll stick him with.

 

[serenewarfare]

I'm of two minds about the whole thing. I think it could be a huge moment for Rollins, but I am terribly sad to see the Shield breakup. Hands down the best thing to happen to WWE the past two years.

 

[Toki767]

The crowd facing the camera didn't look shocked at all when Rollins hit Reigns with the chair. They just looked bored.

 

[Man God]

Their best run was against the Wyatt family.

Nah their 3 way stuff way back at the beginning of their career was even better.

Also the various D-Bry matches last spring and summer.

 

[NastyBook]

I thought Rock got his ass beat mercilessly with a steel chair by Austin. Ambrose just upped the ante.

 

[Sblargh]

Rollins gets fed to Reigns. Bryan will continue to feud with Kane.
Bray will come back as a face, and I don't know who they'll stick him with.

Let's call my theory positive thinking and your theory negative thinking.

 

[bean breath]

Hello ladies!

A little late today but let's. do. thiiiiiiiis.

 

[HerbertFish]

Their best run was against the Wyatt family.

Yep. Wyatts vs Shield 1 is still the match of the year as it stands.

 

[Jimmy King]

Let's call my theory positive thinking and your theory negative thinking.

Another term for his theory is "reality"

 

[canadian crowe]

How long have you been watching?

Rollins walked out on the Shield and explained

they were nothing without him

He is the architech

Yeah but that was months ago and that got them on the same page.

Either way I was hoping for a break up and I'm happy it was Rollins.

 

[Jimmy King]

Yep. Wyatts vs Shield 1 is still the match of the year as it stands.

I can't allow people to falsely build The Shield's legacy on this. It will not stand.

 

[blackaroni]

Don't know about that. Ambrose is decent on the mic but Reigns is awful. Now he's behind one of the GOAT talkers and Orton. Probably less talking.

I don't think Reigns is awful. He doesn't speak as much as the others and he doesn't have to.

 

[Mengetsu]

Well that was a swerve...and now im sad because the best faction is gone

 

[charsace]

Ambrose qnd Rollins just excel period. Heel, face it doesn't matter. Both guys were the best of the best everywhere they have been and that's why Trips has had them working with Reigns since fcw.

 

[Spider from Mars]

How shitty was this weeks edition of Monday Night Raw™?

 

[Joeki11a]

Yeah but that was months ago and that got them on the same page.

Either way I was hoping for a break up and I'm happy it was Rollins.

It planted the seed for this, also why you think Rollins was getting all this hype and buzz recently?, so they can do this with an effect.
