5 People That Should Replace Dean Ambrose  In The Shield

The Shield, WWE,
Does WWE need to replace Dean Ambrose in The Shield?

WWE has some very important decisions to make.

One of those decisions is whether WWE should officially break up The Shield once Dean Ambrose betrays his brothers, or have someone else join the group in Ambrose's place after the break up. Of course some are going to see that as ridiculous and a cheap way to get Reigns over, but it's not like WWE hasn't done it before.

In fact, WWE made it a point during the group's last reunion to have other superstars take Ambrose's place while he was injured. WWE even had Kurt Angle join The Shield for a night to take on Kane, The Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus and Braun Strowman, which was one of the best matches of the year.

With that being said, it's not like WWE hasn't done this point and its not like it wouldn't make sense to do it again. In all honesty, doing so might rub some fans the wrong way, especially since its not the original Shield, but it does allow for WWE to keep the group going for awhile longer and gives a young star a pretty high profile spot in the process.

Here are five superstars that are no doubt deserving of such a role.


#5 Bray Wyatt

The Shield, WWE, Bray Wyatt,
How would Bray Wyatt do as a member of The Shield?

While Bray Wyatt might seem like a controversial pick to replace Dean Ambrose, it would give Wyatt something to do and it would be like trading one lunatic for another. Much like Ambrose, Wyatt will be that heavy muscle that The Shield needs in order to move forward and will serve as a bit of a dream pairing for fans.

Wyatt would also fall right in line with The Shield promo wise and it would be cool to see what twist he puts on their promo style. In the end, it's not the perfect pick and contradicts a good portion of this group's history in The WWE, but that doesn't mean the company can't do it and it certainly doesn't mean that they won't

#4 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley,
Bobby Lashley would probably be a great fit for The Shield!

Would Bobby Lashley be a good fit for The Shield?

Although it might seem a bit like an odd pairing at first, him and Roman Reigns would create a powerhouse dynamic not seen before in popular faction. It also has the possibility of creating another grudge match between Reigns and Lashley down the line, which would be very interesting to see.

In the end, Lashley is another one of those superstars that WWE is doing next to nothing with and would really benefit from being involved in The Shield storyline. Again, this isn't a perfect pairing by any means and might just end up being a one off, but Lashley and Reigns being forced to work together as part of The Shield would be an interesting situation to see.

#3 Kurt Angle

Who wants to see Kurt Angle in a black vest again?

How cool would it be to see Kurt Angle in a black vest again?

Not only would it be a cool followup to the match Kurt Angle did with The Shield last year, it also would allow for WWE to involve Baron Corbin and The Authority into the match somehow. Not only would it be cool to see The Shield battle an Authority figure again, it also opens things up to some pretty interesting possibilities.

For example, lets say that Kurt Angle does replace Dean Ambrose in The Shield. WWE could create a storyline where the winner of the match would gain power of Monday Night Raw. At least that would be a cool way to involve The Authority storyline into what The Shield is doing, it also would be a cool match to see at somewhere like Survivor Series.

With that being said, Kurt Angle could also choose Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins for team angle at Survivor Series, which would also be cool to see, but it would be much cooler if Kurt Angle put on the black vest and joined The Shield himself. That way, it would have a bigger impact towards the faction.

#2 The Undertaker

The Undertaker, WWE,
The Undertaker and The Shield would be a bit of a dream pairing for WWE.

Maybe this one doesn't have to be on live television or anything like that, but it would be amazing to watch The Undertaker, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins team up for a six man tag team match. If nothing else, it would be a dream match to see no matter who the opponent is and would also give WWE a key chance to help get Reigns over with fans.

Again, this doesn't have to be a pay per view match or even a television match, but to see Undertaker and The Shield team up at a house show would be a huge impact moment for The WWE. It would even be a cool once in a life time event for the people attending the event, which would be pretty cool to see.

#1 Finn Balor

The Shield, Finn Balor,
Would Finn Balor be a good fit for The Shield?

Is it any wonder why Finn Balor would be the number one person on this list?

Beyond the fact that WWE is already doing absolutely nothing with Finn Balor right now, it would also be another one of those once in a lifetime moments that was discussed earlier. Not only that, it also would be a interesting way to help Balor gain some of his momentum back and eventually work his way back into the title hunt.

In the end, it would be really amazing to watch Balor, Reigns, and Rollins in six man action, especially with the high flying offense that Balor and Rollins are known for and would also be a great way to make Balor relevant again. If nothing else, at least doing this achieves that goal and does it in a way that The WWE Universe would be thrilled about.
