3 exciting storylines for The Shield after tonight's Raw

The latest edition of Monday Night Raw ended up leaving us with more questions than answers. The show opened with The Big Dog addressing the sea of fans in the arena.

Reigns made it clear that the only person standing between him and his ultimate goal is his own brother, Seth Rollins, leading to Seth coming out to the ring. Roman wished Seth for his outing against The Beast at WrestleMania 35, and proceeded to request for another Shield reunion.

A reluctant Rollins took a while to agree to Reigns' request. Ambrose' music hit next and as he was about to hit the ring, he got decked by Elias on the ramp. Reigns and Rollins tried to tend to him, but he shrugged them off and left backstage.

Later in the night, Dean Ambrose joined the Shield to fend of the band of villains, FINALLY reuniting with his brothers! A six-man tag was announced for Fastlane.

The following scenario left a string of possibilities for The Hounds of Justice as they move forward. Let's take a look at three of these possibilities.

#3 Dean snaps on Reigns

Is Ambrose still unstable?

Now that Dean is a part of Shield again, that leaves him and Reigns without a marquee match at the Show of Shows.

With Seth having his hands full until Mania, WWE might go the easy route and give us the remaining two Shield members facing off against each other in a big-time matchup at WrestleMania.

Leading to the Show of Shows, Reigns and Ambrose fight off a string of tag teams, until they lose one of them with Ambrose snapping again. This leads to a ruthless beatdown on Reigns.

It becomes clear to Roman that Dean's still in a state of confusion on whether he truly is a part of The Shield. Roman vows to help Dean fight his demons and rescue him back from the darkness that's turning him into a contemptible human being.

This storyline culminates on the grandest stage of them all, with Reigns finally defeating Ambrose and reuniting with him, in a perfect sendoff before he departs the WWE.

#2 A No. 1 contender's match

Is this still a possibility?

Even though it was made clear that Reigns won't be interfering in Seth Rollins' affairs with Lesnar, there's still a slight possibility of the storyline taking a turn for the worse.

As Mania approaches near, The Shield agrees on the fact that Roman does deserve his rematch for the Universal title. Dean starts acting weird again and tells Reigns that he is his equal, and wants the shot too.

This could lead to a number one contender's match at the grandest stage of them all, with Reigns defeating Ambrose in a hard-fought match, to cement his place in the main event, alongside Rollins and Lesnar.

WWE's obsession with Reigns and WrestleMania main events isn't exactly a secret. There's still a possibility of the company inserting Reigns in the match by any means possible, and this could be a possible way to do that.

Rollins could still win the title, but he would have to overcome Lesnar as well his brother Reigns, in a rematch from WrestleMania 31.

#1 Shield destroys Brock Lesnar in front of 80,000 fans

Fans are tired of Brock's reign

Brock Lesnar's reign of terror has run its course a long time ago. The WWE Universe isn't too thrilled with seeing him treating the company as well as its major title the most disrespectful manner possible.

This is the major reason why fans are clamouring for Rollins to finally beat Lesnar at the show of shows and reclaim the belt. But as history has often proven, Brock Lesnar isn't your average wrestler who can be slain without losing a sweat. Seth Rollins would have to go through hell to even come close to pinning The Beast. The following scenario could perfectly play out here.

The two performers deliver a fast-paced classic, with Rollins not staying down even after eating three F5s. This enrages Lesnar and he begins a beatdown on Rollins that reminds the fans of what Lesnar did to Orton at Summerslam 2016. This goes on for a while before The Shield's music hits!

Out come Reigns and Ambrose, to the aid of Rollins. A merciless beatdown begins on Brock, joined by a bloody Rollins. The beatdown comes to an end with a devastating triple bomb on Lesnar, followed by a pin by Rollins.

WrestleMania closes with The Shield standing tall and raising their fists in the air, in a cool visual.
