Don't have much time, but I have been thinking about this lately...
Many of us were shocked when Seth Rollins stabbed his brothers in the back post-Payback and I am sure, we all wanted him to get what was coming to him, in terms of a proper beating that a Traitorface like him should get.
So, as we examine how the stories of the 3 guys have gone until now; Do you guys think the SHIELD Break-Up story has been handled as well as it could have been?
From my POV;
I understood from the Reigns and Ambrose promos after the break-up, what they set out to do. Ambrose after Rollins, whilst Reigns went after the other guys in order to get to HHH.
Now, Reigns has beaten Kane, Orton and Rollins already, which means after injury, his sights should be set on HHH and ending the Authority, once and for all.
However, my main gripe with his Singles push has been aired on here quite a few times, in that, the lack of continuity in his push, and the lack of interaction with Seth and Dean really hurt his push in a big way and the writing disconnected him from them quite a bit. Given that he was portraying the Main Face vs the Authority, some interaction with the other 2 would have helped his push and his momentum big time.
As for Ambrose; his push has been handled rather well since he got handed the real Babyface making Money feud with Traitorface himself. It was going brilliantly until his return from Cinderblock smash at NoC, where he has had to basically take over from Reigns and booking probably was changed somewhat to make up for that(given Orton and Kane's lack of importance since NoC). Whilst I haven't minded Cena being a part of the Seth Rollins chasing pack brigade...I do agree when people say it has helped in cooling the animosity built up between Ambrose and Rollins since the break-up, and that is a minus for Creative. That said; a well-booked HiaC match will regain some overness for the feud, no doubt.
Needless to say, it is Dean Ambrose who has been the Real Winner since the break-up.
Seth Rollins' push has been well-handled also. Right now, whilst it does seem he is being 'overshadowed', it is apparent he is Foe no.1 for the 2 Top babyface guys, and that has meant that Orton and Kane have been afterthoughts. Needless to say, last RAW, Orton was given some importance by.....indeed, having his own Animosity with Seth Rollins.
I think as long as Seth is booked to do Heel stuff more often, is booked strong enough and remind us of his traitor act post-Payback, his Heel run will be a rousing success and could land him in the Top Heel spot post-Mania 31.
So, again the question;
Do you guys think the SHIELD Break-Up story has been handled as well as it could have been?
