My Idea for the Shield at Mania

ASKane

Championship Contender
I have said for a long time that the Shield should face Undertaker at Wrestlemania because of them writing him off for so long and I have thought of a very good way for this to happen.

At Elimination Chamber I think the Shield should fight Wyatt's in the Elimination Chamber and after they win on Raw the next night Taker attacks Reigns and Rollins individually in the build up to an Ambrose title defence against Bray Wyatt in a match which is no DQ but Ambrose doesn't realise what happened and when he loses because he is outnumbered he gets annoyed at Rollins and Reigns but they tell him what happened but he doesn't believe them.

Then these attacks happen for a 2 weeks on Raw and Smackdown until they completely implode and have a huge brawl and then Taker challenges them to match at Mania but says they have to earn it and makes them have a Triple Threat earlier in the night. I think Reigns should beat Ambrose and Rollins in the Triple Threat and then loses a hard fought battle with Taker. Winning earlier in the night means that Reigns can afford the loss and wont harm his push. I think it will be good because it has been years since Taker fought a younger guy.
 
Reigns vs Taker is a good idea but not with him facing the rest of the shield earlier in the night. Like the end product just not the build
 
Ridiculously awful man!!! first of all..an elimination chamber for 3 on 3 is baseless..the whole point of elimination chamber is 6 wrestlers fighting for themselves to earn something big..2nd undertaker has no need of coming back and attacking the shield..he is much above everybody's level in wwe right now..he challeneged hhh a couple years ago because he stood tall against taker when he walked out on his own at wrestlemania 27 and taker was taken on a stretcher..the shield is great no doubt..but at wrestlemania only 2 logical scenarios exists for shield right now...one that they can have a 3 on 3 match against the wyatts or else they can have a triple threat match for the US championship.
 
Reigns (or even Ambrose/Rollins) vs Taker could be fantastic. We would get a decent ending to them injuring Taker; it would be a good match and it could help make him as a superstar. Remember, Randy Orton's first singles match at WM was against The Undertaker. Back then the Streak wasn't as important and talked about and when Orton countered the chokeslam into the RKO many thought he was going to end the streak.

Reigns might not be considered to be good enough to face Taker but there is more chance of him defeating Taker than there is The Rock, Taker or Sheamus. Even last year, it was a great match but we all knew Punk would lose.

With Roman Reigns it is in the back of everyone's mind that they are potentially building him up to be the next big star of the company and therefore he might just end The Streak. He almost certainly won't but it is still more likely.

However, I don't think this will happen. I can see The Shield facing off and there are other options for Taker. They will want to give him a big name and if he agrees to a match with Lesnar than that is a certainty. Other options are Sheamus and Cena (my personal favourite)

So yeh, if it did happen it would be a great match and fantastic entertainment but they won't go down that route.
 
Reigns isnt a big enough name to go after the streak. Im not saying its a bad idea, Im just saying that it wont happen. As far as the elimination chamber goes, I think its a terrible idea. You are changing the purpose of the chamber. How would the random chamber opening work? One team would have 5 mins of a 2 on 1 and possibly a 3 on 1. I wouldnt waste this match in the chamber. Wyatts vs Shield should be the opening match at Mania imo. Great match to get the crowd going.

I wouldn't call this ridiculously awful at all, but I doubt it will happen since most reports have said 'Taker/Lesnar is all but booked.

Your point on the elimination chamber is somewhat correct, though in the context of the Wyatt/Shield program, the chamber match actually comes off as an old-school WCW War Games match - instead of a traditional cage, it's done inside the chamber. The interesting aspects of the match would be which team has the upper-hand in terms of the doors opening - at certain points, the Shield could have a 2-on-1 advantage or the Wyatt's could have a 3-on-1 advantage. A more interesting point could be if the Wyatt's have all three remaining members and both Rollins and Ambrose have been eliminated prior to Reigns door opening. The three members could stalk Reigns' door, eagerly awaiting the final countdown til its opening. The anticipation to Reigns facing insurmountable odds would be tremendous and the pay-off of watching Reigns go in beast mode would be even bigger. The WWE could legitimately make Reigns look like a star in this match - something that appears to be a priority of the WWE lately.

In terms of what The Shield should be doing at WrestleMania - The match at the Elimination Chamber would take care of their feud with The Wyatts while a triple-threat match between all three members for the US Title is a similar idea to what was done with Legacy. Perhaps I'm a little jaded because the Legacy triple threat match at WrestleMania 26 provided an awful pay-off, but I don't want to see that match with The Shield.

Now to say The Undertaker has no reason to come back and take out The Shield is incorrect. The Shield laid out 'Taker last May. He has every reason to come back to try and extract revenge. Whether you think that's a big enough reason for him to put his streak on the line is a matter of personal preference.
 
WrestleMania is big money for the WWE. At Wrestlemania you need big money matches! Taker's streak is big money....so you have one match everyone has been waiting for and that is Taker vs Lesnar!!

Anyone can belieive that Lesanar can take Taker down and end the streak. So it's a believable match! Reigns isn't ready for that yet.

The next money match for Mania would be the Wyatt's vs the Shield. I think there is money to be made in the Shield being face for a match before they split, which would then build each Shield member up for possible big summer slam matches!

The only other thing IF they turn the Shield early I could see the NWO making a nostalgic appearance vs The Wyatts, then possibly Reigns having a coming out match for say the IC title against someone like Ziggler who could carry him to a great match.

Then have Ambrose vs perhaps even Rollins for the US title which would be a great match also.

That would leave a possible four way title dance Punk vs Cena vs Bryan vs Orton for the undispusted WWE title.

Now those matches would be money and that's what's best for business!
 
If Reigns were to face UT at WM what an awesome accomplishment that would be. That match alone would push Roman to the moon as far as his career has already gone. More and more he is outshining the rest of the group even more so than Ambrose. But if reports are true and i dont have a doubt they are,then UT vs Brock is all but set in stone! But an answer to the Shield taking taker needs to be addressed ASAP

Reigns .vs. Taker would be pretty sweet... but down the road.

I think Taker will come back and destroy the shield and get some revenge back only for Brock to come out and destroy Undertaker. He gets his revenge and gets his match with Brock. Paul says that Punk could not get the job done and it was because he was not the best, Brock is.

Down the road have Roman and Taker face off... perhaps Dean could get a shot.
 
Man i have seen threads like sheamus vs taker, wade barett vs taker, ziggler vs taker etc. This is no surprise

Roman Reigns vs undertaker. Not gonna happen. If taker was 5+ years younger, it could take place. First of all taker have like 2 more matches left in him. Those have to be the money matches, not the matches to put over younger guys. Unless taker agrees to work more schedule but thats a very low possibility. Im just thinking from vinces perspective. Second, how about wwe establishes roman reigns as a solid believable competitor before we pair him against the freaking undertaker. I dont recall seeing many roman reigns single matches on raw.

The challengers for takers streak, not limited, were batista, edge, hbk x2, hhhx3, cm punk and you add soon to be lesnar. That list is elite. Its hard to believe roman reign would be a threat to the streak. Of course a hard fought battle with taker will still give the young guy credibility. But again, taker have like 2 matches in him.
 
I think vince will make the streak bigger before he may or may not finally end it may be next year or the year after that no way he'll let any of shield members face him it's gonna be either brock(most likely), rock or cena......
As for the shield i dont want to see them split yet may be next year or the year after that they have that mystique one of the few things i like about wwe (still).

This year their dream booking could be against the NWO reunited if hogan nash and hall agree to that. Have them destroy NWO i think nash can still do a great job and he doesn't have a problem with putting guys over...
at survivor series have them beat DX (reunited) or even the new age outlaws. there is so much they can still do as a heel team before finally turning them face and then breaking up because of heel ambrose after that i think all 3 of them will be big enough to face taker at WM31 one on one
 
I'm hoping for Rock and Usos vs. Shield. Rock has unfinished business with them, and if he teams up with his cousins, it will put them over in a big way. Plus, you can end it with Dean turning on whoever gets pinned (Seth maybe). I think it could be good thing for everyone involved. Don't split them up just yet. Wait until they have a 2nd Mania under their belts.
 
I feel like it would be rushed if The Shield was already split up by Mania. It's only 4 months away. I think they should face off against the Wyatt Family at Mania with the Wyatts going over. We saw a few weeks ago that the crowd would go crazy for a Wyatt Family/Shield match. Leading up to this match, The Shield could bicker here and there in promos and/or after matches. Ambrose could lose the US Title at the Rumble and blame Reigns and/or Rollins for not preventing it. After the loss to the Wyatts, we could see them officially implode. Ambrose will remain heel, Reigns turns face, and I'm honestly not sure about Rollins. They could then have a triple threat match against eachother at Payback and feud up through SummerSlam, maybe even longer.

As far as Taker is concerned, his match is usually the 2nd biggest on the card besides the WWE Title match, and Reigns doesn't deserve that spot yet. I feel like by this time next year though, he'll be the main guy we're talking about to either win the Rumble and face the champion at WM31 or face Taker to end the streak.

This year, there are only 3 guys that I could see challenging Taker. Brock Lesnar or John Cena would be the top 2 draws. Below them, the 3rd guy who I wouldn't be shocked to see face him is Bray Wyatt. To me, that would be more intriguing than Lesnar or Cena, with Wyatt's character being perfect to feud with someone like Taker. Reigns just doesn't belong in that big of a match yet. I definitely see him in one of the top profile matches at WM31 though.

So Bray Wyatt whose biggest win is over Kane is a biggest star than Reigns who holds a pinfall victories over John Cena and Daniel Bryan aswell as a record tying Survivor Series performance. Wyatt has done absolutely nothing so far and unless his family beat Bryan and Punk I think he would be less deserving of at shot at Taker than Heath Slater. If Reigns has a solid match with Punk at TLC, has a record breaking Royal Rumble and then a solid match inside the elimination chamber against the Wyatt's then he would be ready for a match with Taker.
 
Cena beats Orton to become Undisputed WWE Champion (Unified Champion? What the hell were you thinking WWE Universe?) at TLC. Paul Heyman returns and congratulates Cena for becoming the first Undisputed WWE Champion in over a decade. Since Bischoff handed HHH the WHC. Paul asks if Cena remembers who the last Undisputed Champion was? Brock Lesnar. You want what's 'best for business'? Want to determine the 'Face of the WWE'? John Cena vs Brock Lesnar for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Royal Rumble. Lesnar attacks Cena from behind and poses with the belt to close RAW.

Lesnar beats Cena at RR and Punk wins the Royal Rumble match, reigniting the Heyman-Punk feud. Cena gets a rematch, but says he wants what is best for business and the fans; Brock Lesnar's first ever Elimination Chamber match. HHH agrees and books it, getting annoyed with Heyman's gloating about Lesnar's wins over him. Lesnar vs Cena vs Orton vs Bryan vs Sheamus vs ???. After getting fed up with Heyman, HHH inserts himself into the match as well. Cena and Bryan start the match. Orton comes out next. Then Sheamus. Sheamus eliminates Orton, Bryan rolls up Sheamus. Lesnar is out next and HHH last. Bryan eliminates HHH, who os obviously furious. Cena and Bryan laugh at HHH as he exits. Lesnar attacks both and eliminates Bryan. Lesnar eliminates Cena to retain.

HHH tries to make himself vs Punk for Punk's shot at Lesnar at Wrestlemania in a No DQ match. The Shield come out immediately and start to beat down Punk. Bryan, Cena come out and eventually the locker room clears in a huge brawl until Vince's music hits and he returns. He claims HHH has taken it too far now and he will not be allowed to ruin the company Vince built. HHH gets upset and says the company is basically his as soon as Vince drops dead, which should be any day now. Vince says he and Steph aren't the only possible heirs, bringing out Shane. They'll settle this the McMahon family way, a match at Wrestlemania. HHH will choose a representative and Shane will choose a representative for control of the company (leave Shane out and rewrite it with Vince in his place if he isn't available). HHH laughs and says he doesn't need a representative, he'll fight on his own. Shane says he'd love to kick his brother in law's ass, but he is a little rusty and has his own idea of what's best for business. He chooses Daniel Bryan who leads the crowd in a YES chant to end RAW.

The Shield vs The Wyatt Family at EC inside the Chamber. An Undertaker gong distracts Reigns, allowing Harper to hit the big boot and Bray to end with with Sister Abigail to pick up the win.

To start RAW the night after EC Ultimate Warrior is announced as a HOF inductee and comes to the ring to speak and introduce the man who will induct him, Hulk Hogan. Hogan comes out and starts to talk. Shield's music hits and they come out and surround the ring. Cena runs out and tries to fight them off, but The Shield gets the upper hand. The lights go out and Taker is in the ring when they come back on. He fights off The Shield with Cena, Hogan and Warrior. Undertaker then stares down Cena and looks up at the Wrestlemania sign, Cena looks up too.

Kane comes out and makes Cena & Taker vs The Shield in a 2-on-3 handicap match for the main event. The match ends via DQ and The Shield ends up taking out Cena and putting Taker through the announce table again. The Wyatt Family comes out and tries to abduct Taker. The lights go out and Taker has disappeared. Bray is pissed and orders Rowan and Harper to get Cena up for him to hit Sister Abigail to end RAW.

Cena starts off the next week on RAW asking The Authority to explain to him what he did to deserve The Shield and The Wyatt Family being sicked on him. He is interrupted by Bray on the big screen. Bray says Cena should know that Bray answers to no one. You were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. He talks about The Undertaker seemingly choosing to face Cena at Wrestlemania and claims that he is taking that spot and ending The Streak. In a backstage segment Kane is attacked and abducted by the Wyatt Family.

Cena vs Ambrose is set to Main Event RAW. The Shield causes a DQ and beats down Cena until Hogan's music hits and he comes out to try to make the save. If The Rock is available, he comes out and evens the odds to set up a six man tag match at Wrestlemania; The Dream Team vs The Shield. If not, Cena and Hogan manage to fight off The Shield and a 2-on-3 handicap match is made for Wrestlemania (which could still be marketed as The Dream Team vs The Shield I suppose).

Bray taunts The Undertaker and says that now, with the passing of Paul Bearer, Kane is Undertaker's only family. But he doesn't have to be, he can join their family. The next week Rowan and Harper carry out Kane who is tied to an Undertaker symbol. Bray drenches him in what appears to be gasoline. "I told you that the fire that you thought was your friend, your beginning, would ultimately be your ending". He goes to light a match and the lights go out. Taker appears and tries to fight off the Wyatt Family, but is beaten down and hit with Sister Abigail to end RAW. Maybe as a twist they untie Kane and he was in on the plan all along.

Interesting ideas, but I don't think Lesnar will work 3 straight PPVs including all that build-up on Raw. I also think it's a bad idea to tease Cena vs. Undertaker and then dump it the next week. Fans won't get excited for Taker/Bray when they were basically told it was Taker/Cena instead.

I personally think a better card would be:

1. WWE Championship: CM Punk vs. Triple H (c) — Street Fight
2. The Rock and The Usos vs. The Shield
3. World Heavyweight Championship: Daniel Bryan w/ Brie vs. John Cena (c) w/ Nikki
4. Kane vs. Brock Lesnar
5. The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt — Buried Alive Match
6. 30-Man Tag Team Battle Royal for the WWE Tag Team Championship, Every superstar has to tag with a legend: Santino and Warrior
7. Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
8. WWE Diva’s Championship: AJ Lee (c) vs. Summer Rae w/ Fandango
9. United States Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Goldust — Title vs. Career
10. The Big Show vs. Antonio Cesaro — Swing!
11. Intercontinental Championship: Christian vs. Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Damien Sandow (c) vs. The Miz vs. Wade Barrett — Six Pack Challenge
Kick-Off: Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara
