5 Replacements for Dean Ambrose in The Shield

#4 Ricochet

Ricochet could add a whole new dimension to The Shield

Ricochet is one of the most unique performers in the world. The level of athleticism that he brings into the ring cannot be matched by most in-ring performers across the world. And yet, like we've seen time and time again, there's always a chance of him getting lost in the shuffle, in the main roster. Maybe a run with The Shield is what he needs desperately!

Reigns and Rollins can hide his inadequacies on the microphone and elevate him instantly to main event status. In turn, Ricochet can make Shield matches supremely interesting, especially after a hot tag comes about, flipping and flying all asunder. It would be a symbiotic relationship that could yield massive returns in the long term.

I have a feeling that if Ricochet ends up going to 205 Live, he will not live up to his potential. On the main roster, surrounded by such massive talent, Ricochet has a chance to shine and dominate RAW!
