3 Blockbuster Matches Involving The Shield That Must Happen Soon

The original Shield reunion was spoiled last year due to Dean Ambrose going down with a significant injury, but upon his return, WWE wasted no time in picking up right where they left off, as Rollins, Ambrose, and Reigns once again reunited almost immediately after the previously injured Ambrose returned.

During their original run as a trio, The Shield took on factions such as Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista), The Wyatt Family, and The Authority. While those matches were a big deal at the time, they wouldn't be nearly as huge as any potential match-up involving the trio would be now simply because all three men have been successful as singles wrestlers, thus meaning that they're way more popular now than they were four years ago.

So, who's going to step up and challenge The Shield now that they're back together? Well, after last week's edition of Monday Night Raw, we already have a pretty good idea of who they're going to face off with first, so let's go ahead and start with that.

#3 The Shield vs. Ziggler, McIntyre, and Strowman

WWE shockingly decided to turn Braun Strowman heel, which was pretty puzzling to say the least, as the current number one contender for the Universal Championship has been the hottest babyface in the company for quite a while now.

But, like anything else, it's an attempt to get Roman Reigns over, which, as history has told us, probably won't work. But, one thing that is pretty clear is that, at some point in the near future, and possibly on tonight's edition of Raw, WWE will do a six-man tag between The Shield and Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, and Braun Strowman.

When the match happens, I wouldn't be surprised to see The Shield win, but that doesn't mean it'll be the end of Strowman going after Reigns, or that it'll be the last time The Shield has to deal with Braun Strowman, and I'll explain the reason why later in this list.

#2 The Shield vs. Undisputed Era

Of the three potential matches on this list, this one would probably be the best in the ring, however, due to the fact that The Undisputed Era hasn't been established yet on the WWE main roster, it'd probably be a good idea to have them feud with someone other than The Shield when they're called up.

But, after their first feud on the main roster ends, the best thing WWE could do with them is put them up against The Shield. It would be an awesome match, and it'd give the popular NXT trio a chance to show what they can do in a big match situation on the main roster.

Of course, if done right, this would be one of those situations where the crowd would be split right down the middle during the match, which is probably the best type of environment WWE can have for a main event match these days.

#1 The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family

Even though WWE already did this feud back in 2014, I wouldn't be surprised to see them go back to it before the end of this year, simply due to the fact that Rowan is set to miss a significant amount of time due to injury, thus putting Harper in a spot where he might not have anything to do.

So here's my prediction: after The Shield takes care of Strowman, Ziggler, and McIntyre, WWE will move Harper to Raw, where he, Braun Strowman, and Bray Wyatt will reunite to take on Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns.

As we saw from their previous feud four years ago, these teams have incredible chemistry together. Furthermore, it'd be a good way to get Bray Wyatt back in the main event scene, and it'd be a good excuse to continue the Reigns vs. Strowman feud over the Universal Championship.
