3 reasons why The Shield won't break up 

Ever since their debut, the trio of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose has dominated the WWE landscape. They have won countless championships, with all three becoming Grand Slam Champions.

They had an explosive debut, dominated the show, and were broken up at the peak of their popularity. The WWE Universe had since been clamouring for a Shield reunion. While the WWE tried to reunite the faction twice, it was unsuccessful due to different health issues.

We have seemingly gotten a Shield reunion now, and if this week's RAW is any hint, there might be some cracks developing already. But in this writer's opinion, it's just a farce. Here are 3 reasons why The Shield won't break up for some time now.

#1 Roman needs the cheers

The Big Dog

One thing's perfectly clear: The Shield reunion has been an excuse to get Roman cheered ever since he won the Universal Championship. The enforcer of the group has been subject to constant jeering and boos ever since the group split.

Vince McMahon loves Roman Reigns, and if anything can get his pet project over with the audience, it's The Shield. The faction was hugely over, still is, and always will be. This gets Roman cheered by default.

If The Shield were to split, WWE might have to deal with the risk of their top dog getting booed again. And after looking at the effort they've put in getting him over, it seems highly unlikely that the trio go their separate ways.

#2 Ambrose may lose credibility

Dean Ambrose has had a great comeback

This week's RAW pushed forth the idea that Ambrose may consider turning on his brethren. While thankfully that didn't happen, there's a chance that it may, and it's a bad idea. Let's take a history lesson folks.

When Rollins joined the Authority, he became a slimeball of a heel who avoided matches, which was a total contrast from his face days. After his memorable MITB cash-in, he began to lose constantly in non-title matches. This hurt his credibility greatly, and it took a serious knee injury and almost a year of playing a cool heel to get back on track.

What's the guarantee that this doesn't happen with Ambrose too. Reigns is a main event fixture, Rollins has solidified his position greatly, and there aren't many great faces for Ambrose to feud with. What after he burns through the feud with Roman and Seth? It's a question that demands proper thought.

#3 Disrupts the balance between heels and faces

The top heels on RAW

Monday Night RAW had a shortage of credible heels, which was quickly mended by calling up Drew McIntyre and turning Strowman heel. The premier heels on the red brand include Ziggler, Strowman, McIntyre, and Corbin.

On the good side, we only have the members of the Shield as credible faces (sorry Finn). If Dean Ambrose turns heel, it takes the tally of top faces all the way to two. And it's not as if WWE has nuanced storytelling which will elevate other faces.

If the Shield is broken up by Ambrose, it throws the championship pictures into complete disarray. There won't be faces for the heels to feud with, and we may have to sit through Ziggler or Corbin taking on No Way Hose or someone like him.

Unless WWE doesn't build up another credible babyface, it'd be wise to keep the Dogs of War together.
