5 Replacements for Dean Ambrose in The Shield

#1 Bobby Lashley

This move could certainly keep Lashley relevant on RAW

Yes, Lashley is certainly being booked strongly on RAW. But I think it's only a matter of time before WWE ruins him like they've ruined many others in the main roster. Lashley has many shortcomings, especially on the microphone when he has to cut promos. I think he could thrive in The Shield.

Will he be a misfit with The Hounds of Justice? Anyone would, if they had to take Dean Ambrose's place in this beloved group. Overall, in the long run, I think Lashley may be able to fit in rather seamlessly.

Eventually I think it could potentially lead to a heel turn. And feuds with Rollins and Reigns could help him stay relevant on RAW.

Whom would you pick as Ambrose's replacement in The Shield, reader?
