So they started building this feud with The Shield vs The Wyatts. I personally am excited for the feud because both teams are very interesting, and do a lot of great work in the ring. What I'm afraid will happen, is that they will not take the feud far enough. There are a lot of good things that could happen here if they play it right.
For one, I think they are sitting on a gold mine in having Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose on opposite sides of each other. I liked the promo they cut last night on the Wyatts. Seth Rollins actually did pretty well on the promo, but I feel they need to focus on Dean Ambrose more in these promos. He's the best talker. They focus on Reigns a lot in the ring so focus on Dean Ambrose on the mic.
They need to play to each persons strong spots and really kick it up in those areas. Roman Reigns is the power house of the team. Have him really step it up by following up his spears with Triple powerbombs and such. I think Rollins' strong point is his brutality. like the kicks to the head and the curb stomp. I remember when he did it to one of the Usos at Survivor Series and I looked at my room mate and said, "We just witnessed a murder". If JR were to have been on commentary that night, it would have been great. Have Rollins become just that much more brutal in the ring. I'd even give him some sort of weapon like a baton, to start decimating the Wyatt members. Then of course with Ambrose it's his talking and his bizarreness. They really need to have him play some mind games with the Wyatts and give him 80% of The Shield's mic time.
Playing to each characters strength can really get each member of The Shield over. Bray is already over and has pinned Bryan clean and will likely feud with Cena. Harper and Rowan will likely win tag titles at some point after Mania. We can see that Reigns is getting a big push, but what about the other two? What happens to them after the split? I say keep doing what they are doing with Reigns, but like I just mentioned give Dean the mic consistently. We don't need to play "everyone gets a turn". This is his chance to really get over. Then have the feud end with Wyatts and Shield joining forces as for as some sort of conspiracy by the Authority (This would be a safe way to secure the WWEWHC on Bray). Then there is where you can have Reigns turn face which will get him pretty over and with Dean already being over at this point from his mic work, that's where you get Rollins. Give him some sort of signature weapon like I said and really have him go to work on Reigns. Then the two can feud. I think extreme rules would work great for them.
The next thing that needs to happen is more TV spots. I know they each had a match and each cut a promo after the other's match. But have more backstage things happening. Have The Shield kidnap Eric Rowan and Luke Harper and have them tied up somewhere. Then have them surround Bray in the ring with Dean Ambrose cutting a promo on him about not being a monster, an being nothing but a helpless man without his followers. Bray Wyatt does his evil laugh and takes the fight to The Shield. Lights go out and Harper and Rowan appear in the ring batterred and beaten to help the fight. Really do all kinds of stuff throughout the night with the 2 stables.
While we are doing more things, this is a solid and simple way to get significat events to happen on Smackdown. Have the Wyatts attack Shield in the crowd on the way to the ring. We get a brawl that could be edited in case a fan got stupid. You could have Shield go on a rampage through the whole backstage area attacking crew members. They can really take this all kinds of ways. But it would make people want to tune in to Smackdown. I don't watch it anymore but this would change my mind. I think pushing Smackdown as a relevant show again is important at this time. The WWE Network is going to be launching in 20 days and I'm assuming WWE wants viewership on their Network shows. Fans will watch both Raw and Smackdowns instead of just Raw. That will give em bigger numbers for their "Did You Know" moments.
I really feel that WWE can achieve a lot if they capitalize. They would establish 3 singles competitors, give us a story worth watching, get Smackdown relevant again, have a big plot line in the conspiracy for them to work with going forward.
