Whether you find this move forced or predictable, The Shield has reunited again in astonishing fashion on yet another blockbuster episode of Monday Night Raw.

Vince McMahon has always endorsed the idea of delivering some fine storytelling on The Road to WrestleMania 35 and with The Hounds of Justice now reunited, something big could be in the works for New Jersey. Roman Reigns' epic return to the squared circle followed with a quick Shield reunion in front of a deafening Wells Fargo Center was booked to absolute perfection.

While Dean Ambrose's contractual situation with the WWE is still unknown, Vince McMahon would be doing everything in his power to convince The Lunatic Fringe to have a second thought.

With The Hounds of Justice now advertised to lock horns with Drew Mcintyre, Baron Corbin, and Bobby Lashley at WWE Fastlane, one wonders how the entire storyline will pan out once WrestleMania 35 hits the frame.

Apart from Seth Rollins, both Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose have no confirmed WrestleMania opponents and with The Architect confirmed to slug it out with Brock Lesnar for the Universal Champion, The Shield's inclusion could play a major factor.

However, the reunion has coerced a division in the entire internet wrestling community. Where legions in the WWE Universe have welcomed the reunion with open arms, some fans have vehemently criticized the decision as very forced and predictable. So, why did Vince McMahon decided to push The Shield one final time? Does he have anything huge planned for The Hounds of Justice? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 biggest reasons why Vince McMahon wants to push The Shield one final time.


#1. To bring more anticipation and hype to WWE Fastlane

A significant reason why Vince McMahon decided to push the envelope with another Shield reunion could be primarily related to bring more anticipation and hype to their next PPV, Fastlane.

The advertisement of Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose would draw more attention from the fans whilst keeping WrestleMania 35 as the main focus.

This seems to be a very calculative decision taken by Vince McMahon and their inclusion on the card would only garner more mainstream attention from the casual fans.

#2. To not derail Roman Reigns' momentum as a solid babyface

There's absolutely no denying that Roman Reigns deserves all the adulation and respect in the world for overcoming his despairing battle with Leukemia.

While the WWE Universe have embraced The Big Dog's return to the squared circle, the fans could turn their backs on the former Universal Champion if he continues to be portrayed in superheroic fashion.

With Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose always being the backbone of The Hounds of Justice, Roman's inclusion in the frame would keep him protected and cheered on the Road to WrestleMania 35.

Since Vince McMahon will look to ascend The Big Dog back to the top, it seems like the company would be more cautious than ever now, and would probably advocate the idea of gradually propelling him back to his position.

Therefore, The Shield's reunion would play a very indispensable role in keeping the spotlight on Roman Reigns and not derail his momentum heading into WrestleMania 35.

#3. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose will help Seth Rollins defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35

This is going somewhere, right?
This is going somewhere, right?

Seth Rollins' meteoric rise to the top of Monday Night Raw is commendable and with The Architect now scheduled to tussle it out with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, things are only going to get better.

With the band back together now, there's a genuine possibility that Vince McMahon could be planning something huge to close out WrestleMania 35 in splendid fashion.

The Architect's destiny to slay The Beast at the Showcase of the Immortals could come true, but there's no denying that the creative team won't be booking him that strong against The Mayor of Suplex City.

This brings The Shield in the frame. Reigns and Ambrose could legitimately assist The Beast Slayer to get the job done and win the most coveted prize on the red brand.

An angle of this magnitude would be a significant way to propel Rollins to the top and would also give the fans a resounding WrestleMania moment for the ages.

#4. To keep Dean Ambrose in the spotlight and convince him to stay

One of the biggest reasons why the company could have pulled out all the stops for a Shield reunion would be to convince Dean Ambrose to renegotiate his contractual situation with WWE.

The Lunatic Fringe is bound to leave Vince McMahon's billion dollar company after his contract expires in April and this could be a clinical way to keep him in the limelight.

It's understandable that the self-proclaimed 'Moral Compass of the WWE' has struggled to find his footing as a villain on Monday Night Raw, and a transformation of this stature would only help him in the longer term.

While Vince McMahon may not see the former Intercontinental Champion as a legitimate headlining star, there's an ample opportunity to use his services for a blockbuster showdown against Roman Reigns at this year's Grandest Stage of Them All.

Do you think Dean Ambrose will stay in the WWE after WrestleMania 35?

#5. A blockbuster triple-threat match could be in the works for SummerSlam 2019 or WrestleMania 36

Are we ready for this?
Are we ready for this?

After The Shield debuted on November 18, 2012, and took the wrestling world by storm with its athletic prowess and unending dominance, the fans knew that the faction was destined for greatness.

While the dominant group was infamously imploded by Seth Rollins in 2014, we have only seen one triple-threat match between The Hounds of Justice in their entire tenure as superstars on the main roster.

Considering that the last tussle happened at Battleground 2016, The Lunatic Fringe rose to the occasion and outmatched his brothers for the WWE Championship.

Therefore, a possible reunion could pave the way for a fantastic triple threat match again at either SummerSlam 2019 or WrestleMania 36.

With Seth Rollins more than likely to walk out of New Jersey as the Universal Champion, could we see the band slugging it out again before the curtains close down on them?
