The Shield made their WWE main roster debut back in 2012, and subsequently went on to make a huge impact not only in the world of professional wrestling, but in the sports-entertainment realm as a whole. Fast-forward to the here and now, and it wouldn't come as a surprise to most that each individual in the dominant unit has held a World Championship in the WWE during their respective runs as singles competitors.

Nevertheless, perhaps the most underrated Superstar from amongst The Hounds of Justice is none other than The Lunatic Fringe, Dean Ambrose. Following the shocking act of betrayal committed by Seth Rollins back in 2014, when The Architect turned his back on Ambrose and Roman Reigns to join The Authority; Rollins, Ambrose and Reigns went their own separate ways until they'd briefly reunited last year.

Injury issues among other unforeseen circumstances saw them disband until they once again reunited earlier this year after Ambrose made his in-ring return coming off a long injury hiatus. Now, considering the fact that the WWE seems to have dropped more than a few hints of Ambrose potentially turning heel on his Shield brothers very soon, it'd be folly to discount the angles that could precede, transpire and originate when the Shield's loose canon finally snaps! -- Today, we are going to be looking at a select few rather shocking ways in which Dean Ambrose could destroy The Shield forever...


#3 Blatant disrespect

One of the most vital points in a professional wrestling storyline is for the ebb and flow of it to be in accordance with what the fans have been conditioned to accept as reasonable, at least in this make-believe fantasy world which we so lovingly refer to as pro-wrestling sports-entertainment. In simple terms, the most likely angle that the WWE could book Dean Ambrose in from this point moving forward is to have him show blatant disregard for his Shield brothers.

Honestly speaking, from what the WWE presented to us on this week's episode of Monday Night RAW -- what with Ambrose engaging in a couple of heated conversations with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins backstage after the former's DQ loss to Braun Strowman -- all signs point towards Ambrose openly expressing his disdain for The Shield. Do not be surprised if you see Ambrose's heel turn come as a rather casual one, instead of the usual shock, pomp and circumstance which generally surrounds a heel turn in a top storyline...

#2 The execution

Coming to the execution of Dean Ambrose's long-awaited heel turn, there's no better place for it to transpire than The Shield's all-important 6-Man Tag Team Match against Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre & Dolph Ziggler at WWE Super Show-Down come October 6th...Or is there?

The big stage is perhaps the most predictable place for a possible Ambrose heel turn, hence, the WWE could dig deep into its bag of pro-wrestling tricks for this one -- something which could witness the promotion choosing to book Ambrose to turn heel on the episode of Monday Night RAW which follows Super Show-Down. Regardless of what happens in the aforementioned matchup, Ambrose could hurt his Shield brothers and dent their faith in the brotherhood forever by joining hands with Strowman, McIntyre & Ziggler on the RAW after Super Show-Down.

Win or lose at Super Show-Down, Ambrose's heel turn would most definitely hurt The Shield, as Seth Rollins' Intercontinental Championship reigns shall be brought into the danger zone. Similarly, Roman Reigns' run as the WWE Universal Champion would be one of pain and horror as there'd be no one except Rollins to watch his back, and an old friend in Ambrose helping their enemies put down The Hounds of Justice for good...

#1 A late goodbye

Truth be told -- one must never say never, when it comes to the world of professional wrestling. And, bear in mind, despite Dean Ambrose betraying his Shield brethren, the group could possibly reunite a few years down the line.

However, a key distinction between Ambrose's upcoming heel turn and Seth Rollins' betrayal which took place back in 2014, is that The Lunatic Fringe character has always been depicted as someone who's good at heart. Let's face it, Rollins -- irrespective of whether he's portraying a heel of a face -- has always possessed that cunning charm and cerebral brilliance which radiates through both his promos and mat work. Akin to that, Roman Reigns' "Big Dog" character has been known as a tweener powerhouse whose primary goal is to be the top "Dog" (no pun intended).

Despite being blessed with the nickname, Lunatic Fringe; ironically, it's Dean Ambrose who has always come through as the purest babyface in The Shield. Well, leaving his brothers to fend for themselves especially when faced with a terrifying group of rivals which includes names such as Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler and even Acting RAW GM "Constable" Corbin, a heel turn of epic proportions would serve to break the stainlessness of Ambrose's character forever.

Dean Ambrose' heel turn at or after WWE Super Show-Down could destroy the very foundation of The Shield; shake it to its very core; and abruptly change the course of its three members. Ladies and gentlemen! We, the WWE Universe, are in the midst of an extremely interesting angle on RAW which -- if executed correctly and steadily -- could see Ambrose surpass Reigns and Rollins as the face of the company.
