#1. A Major Invasion
With Roman Reigns' heartbreaking leukemia announcement and Dean Ambrose's backstabbing ways, The Shield are no more, but the group was the last invading stable to run roughshod over the WWE roster. Sure, the company tried things with Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, and Braun Strowman, but the group never did make any sense and quickly fell apart.
Great stables share an actual bond, not a manufactured one. They are the product of blood, sweat, and tears, rather than writers' rooms. Believability and actual camraderie are what made The Shield so successful, and the same can be said about any of wrestling's greatest stables.

Could the WWE be planning an invasion angle? It worked in WCW with the nWo and worked magically, as the trio went down in history as one of wrestling's all-time greatest stables. If the company were planning an invasion angle, it would go down one of two ways.
Either the WWE has a secret deal in place right now with Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks (highly unlikely) or the WWE will utilize its own talent in NXT to stage a main roster invasion.
This worked years ago with the Nexus and RAW is ripe for the picking now. Just imagine a disgruntled McMahon opening up the show saying the current roster just isn't getting things done and that changes need to be made. Then he can say, as he so often has in the past, that RAW is open for anyone willing to come in and grab the brass ring. Enter team NXT.
The soon to debut Lars Sullivan is already striking fear into the hearts of the main roster but, imagine if he debuted along-side Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Ricochet, Adam Cole, Aleister Black and Velveteen Dream?
The RAW brand could be revolutionized and entirely revamped in one night and if NXT was bold enough to make the true TakeOver attempt, who wouldn't tune in week after week?
The fields are ripe for the harvest. Will anyone come to do the work?
