5 Reasons why Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins reuniting with The Shield is a big mistake 

You cannot say that this was an uneventful episode of WWE RAW. From Roman Reigns announcing that he's been cleared to Ronda Rousey seemingly relinquishing the RAW Women's Championship, to Batista's return, it was packed with more surprises than I could name in my '5 Surprises for RAW' article.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night came after the Dean Ambrose vs Drew McIntyre match. There was the tease of a Shield reunion as Reigns and Rollins came out to save their treacherous friend from harm. And in my mind, this was a pretty huge mistake.

For Rollins and Reigns, this is a massive step down. And I shall say why this is the case in this article.

Feel free to disagree and sound off in the comments section below.

#5 Dean Ambrose has no momentum at the moment

Dean Ambrose was part of perhaps the best heel turn in recent memory, in my opinion. He turned against Seth Rollins on the very same night that Roman Reigns announced to the world that he had leukemia and that he would be relinquishing the Universal Championship. The timing stunned the world and made Ambrose into a figure reviled by everyone.

But somehow, WWE did not book Ambrose right and I would even go as far as to say that his heel run has been a complete disaster. From a lunatic, he became a germaphobe, and his match against Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship got 'boring' chants from the audience that was in attendance. And now, he's been suffering one loss after another.

The truth of the matter is that Ambrose is the only man who stands to gain from yet another Shield reunion. And to be honest, it shouldn't matter to him...

#4 Ambrose is on his way out of WWE

The news was made public by WWE. Dean Ambrose will no longer be associated with WWE after WrestleMania 35 comes around. And therefore, instead of a short-lived run with Ambrose in the team, it makes more sense for WWE to build Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins as top singles superstars.

I mean does anyone even care about the Rollins vs. Lesnar program anymore? Except for a small promo from Rollins, where he underplayed the match as compared to Roman Reigns' return, it was not even really mentioned across the course of RAW. WWE needs to build up the marquee match for WrestleMania as opposed to just forming this short-lived alliance.

And you know what, WWE knows exactly what to do because they're doing a wonderful job with Becky Lynch. It is the Universal Championship match that completely feels like an afterthought at the moment.

#3 Erasing the history between Ambrose and Seth Rollins

I mean if you think about it, there is no reason for Seth Rollins to reunite with a man who betrayed him on the very night that his friend announced that he'd be stepping away from WWE to battle leukemia. Roman Reigns should also be offended that Dean Ambrose resorted to such tactics on such an emotional night.

By coming to Dean Ambrose's aid, Rollins and Reigns just made the entire program with Ambrose turning heel completely null and void. There is no storyline continuity and this is a reason why so many viewers are tuning out of WWE these days in great numbers.

Yes, I am aware that Ambrose has shown signs of becoming a babyface once again but I'll be honest. The face turn was very badly done, and it made no sense at all, really.

Plus, it wasn't even on the script...

#2 Dean Ambrose has been going off the script

Roman Reigns beat a life-threatening disease to bounce back and return, in what seems like phenomenal shape. Seth Rollins has been a workhorse for WWE, to shows up to work, despite the fact that he's recovering from an injury. Dean Ambrose has been out of shape in recent months and has also gone off the script in previous weeks.

I mean does it make sense to ally with a man who did not stick to the script when he said 'slay The Beast' to Seth Rollins on RAW recently? You'll have two members of The Shield who're giving it their all and a third member of the faction, who simply does not care anymore.

It would just leave the audience with a bitter taste in their mouth, on the road to WrestleMania. I do hope I'm wrong and Ambrose begins to care again.

#1 No viable opponents for The Shield

The New Day is on SmackDown Live. The Wyatt Family is nowhere to be seen. The heel alliance of Lashley, Corbin, and McIntyre is hardly a threat. The Shield could always come back but whom will they feud with?

I mean let's list out all of the potential trios on RAW at this point in time. Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers would be demolished by The Shield in a matter of minutes. And unless you count The Riott Squad, that's pretty much it in terms of trios, quite honestly.

It would have made sense for The Shield to have returned to vanquish a heel authority figure who was abusing his power like Corbin. But now babyfaces are in charge of RAW and the Shield has nobody to potentially feud with.

This is why I think reuniting The Shield is a very bad idea.
