5 Possible partners for Braun Strowman against The Shield 

This storyline has so much potential!

Last week on Raw, Braun Strowman attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank contract on Universal Champion Roman Reigns, before he was saved by Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose and it appeared that The Shield had reunited once again.

The Shield has been one of the most dominant factions in WWE since their debut back in November 2012 and this past week on Raw they were the first team that had been able to neutralize Braun Strowman.

WWE doesn't seem as though they will make the same mistake as they did at WrestleMania, and could take the threat of The Shield seriously, which is why Braun now needs to find two partners. There are a lot of teams that have issues with The Shield and a lot of singles stars that could join together in order to take on Rollins, Reigns, and Ambrose.


#5. Finn Balor and Baron Corbin

Finn Balor was defeated by Roman Reigns last week on Raw, but The Big Dog was kind enough to finally give him the rematch he had been waiting for since he was forced to drop the title in the summer of 2016. Balor and Strowman are good friends and have shown this a number of times over the past few months, so he would be the perfect person to choose.

Roman Reigns has made an enemy out of Baron Corbin in recent weeks and the acting General Manager of Raw could easily put himself in a position where he was able to extract some revenge. The Universal Champion has definitely made a dangerous enemy in Corbin, but having Balor and Corbin on the same side given their recent issues is definitely an interesting formula.

#4 Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre

Even if WWE wanted to lazily book this entire storyline, they already have a tag team that has an issue with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, so why wouldn't Braun Strowman go ahead and ask Ziggler and McIntyre to join him?

The easiest way to book this would be for Strowman to decide to go it alone against Roman Reigns once again before Rollins and Ambrose descend and Ziggler and McIntyre then come out to aid him. This wouldn't be because of any kind of alliance between the three men, this would literally just be a case of common enemies.

The former NXT Tag Team Champions haven't been given the best storylines since they were promoted to the main roster, but this could be WWE's chance to redeem itself. Akam and Rezar seem to have ended their issues with Titus Worldwide and could be the ones who decide that they are hungry enough to go after The Shield.

The Shield were once at AOP's level and they know what it's like to be young and hungry so it would be interesting if they decided to join forces with another powerhouse in order to overcome the threat of the trio.

#2 The Revival

The Revival should be Tag Team Champions, the stars didn't align for them at SummerSlam like many fans hoped, but they have been bragging about the fact that they managed to defeat Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns twice.

Now, The Revival call themselves Top Guys so they won't be happy about Rollins, Reigns, and Ambrose stealing their thunder and reuniting. Even though Braun is technically a face, this could easily be another case of common enemies where The Revival join Strowman in order to make a statement to the rest of the Tag Team Division.

#1. The Wyatt Family

This is the option that excites me the most, the stars have definitely aligned in order for there to be a Wyatt Family reunion since Matt Hardy and Erick Rowan are both currently injured, this means that Luke Harper can come over from SmackDown and join with Bray Wyatt to bring back The Wyatt Family.

Without Erick Rowan it won't be Elimination Chamber 2014, but it will still be The Wyatts vs The Shield once again and after the first time these teams came together and the fact that The Wyatts are still undefeated in all matches (except the one following Elimination Chamber) against The Shield, there is a great foundation for a feud.
