Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. The Shield.
Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. The Shield.

The Shield has been a very influential and probably the most dominant faction in the WWE history. The trio debuted in 2012 and since have made a mark on the main roster. They consist of Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. All of them are grand slam champions in the WWE and have had success in singles as well as tag team competition.

The Shield was broken up by Seth Rollins in 2014 but then they were reunited in 2017. They are currently competing on Monday Night Raw in a rivalry against The Dogs Of War. Roman Reigns is the current Universal Champion and Seth Rollins is the current Intercontinental Champion. Dean Ambrose does not hold any title right now. And thus, the WWE is teasing a Dean Ambrose heel turn.

It is expected that Dean turns his back on his brothers very soon. But before breaking up, they need to have matches against the following teams:


#4 The British Strong Style

The British Strong Style is a faction that performs in the UK Brand as well as in NXT. Pete Dunne is the current UK Champion as well as the longest reigning champion of the modern era. Whereas Tyler Bate and Trent Seven (together known as Moustache Mountain) are former NXT Tag Team Champions. They are amongst the most technically sound wrestlers in the whole world.

Them coming up to the main roster soon is inevitable and a feud with The Shield is just what we need. Together both teams can put up an awesome match. The Moustache Mountain even have a 5-star match (rated by Dave Meltzer) against The Undisputed Era in NXT. It is the one and only tag team match in the WWE that has been awarded 5-stars. This proves that they can have a good match against anyone and are worthy opponents for The Shield.

#3 SAnitY

SAnitY has already debuted on SmackDown Live and it is not your fault if you have forgotten about it. Since they have been brought up, they disappeared as the writers did not have any storylines for them. Then they were back for some matches and they again disappeared. All the three men of the faction have tremendous potential. But WWE seems to have no idea about what they should do with them.

When we talk about dream matches for The Shield, Sanity is one name that comes up to the mind. If they square-off, they will leave a tremendous match behind. As Sanity are involved in nothing right now, the WWE can transfer them to RAW to face The Shield and it would be a fresh match-up to see.

WWE can shake-up things a bit by doing this and it would be happily accepted by the fans.

#2 The Balor Club

The Balor Club is one of the most talented factions in the WWE. But right now, Finn Balor is on RAW, whereas Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are on Smackdown. These three have been together since their days in Japan. They were together on RAW with The Shield but unfortunately, they did not have a full-blown feud.

The WWE can transfer The Club to RAW and make the reunite with Finn Balor to face The Shield. They can have an extraordinary match together and the WWE Universe will definitely enjoy this feud. The Club are involved in nothing right now. And Finn Balor, along with Bayley is involved in a meaningless filler feud with Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox.

So, it would be the perfect decision to make them go against The Shield to bring back their lost caliber.

#1 The Undisputed Era

The Undisputed Era is a faction that is too much talent to be kept in NXT for long. They might be the best faction in the whole WWE right now, that means even better than The Shield. Every single competitor of the faction is naturally gifted in terms of in-ring abilities. They also have the charisma of the top guys.

They are destined to dominate the WWE and it is just a matter of time. Who is better than The Shield to make a statement against when they come on the main roster. This is a dream match for many wrestling fans and the WWE must make it happen. The storyline would be a blockbuster and the match itself will be the best part of the feud.

WWE will have to book this match sooner or later because it is just what is best for business.


So these were the 4 dream opponents that should face The Shield. Comment below about which faction would you like The Shield to face.
