We suggest 5 potential Shield mates for Ambrose and Rollins

#2 Kassius Ohno

The original Shield member deserves a place when he comes up!

Before you question our pick, let us tell you a little story about The Shield. The original incarnation of the unit was supposed to have Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Kassius Ohno. The idea, proposed by CM Punk, was shot down by Triple H, who wanted Roman Reigns in the group. The rest, as they say, is WWE history.

Ohno could be brought back to become the third member of The Shield, and potentially start a rivalry with Roman Reigns about the same. Ohno is a great worker and is also fantastic on the microphone. Without this gimmick, he may just get lost in the shuffle, in the long run.

Ohno does not have the physique that Vince McMahon likes. To get over, he needs a strong stable, to support him. This could be a way to benefit all concerned.
