#4 The Ratings
![The WWE Universe not being behind The Shield is a good reason to break them up.](https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/10/794b3-15391854442017-800.jpg?w=190 190w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/10/794b3-15391854442017-800.jpg?w=720 720w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/10/794b3-15391854442017-800.jpg?w=640 640w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/10/794b3-15391854442017-800.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/10/794b3-15391854442017-800.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/10/794b3-15391854442017-800.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/10/794b3-15391854442017-800.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2018/10/794b3-15391854442017-800.jpg 1920w)
Its no secret that WWE has been scrapping the bottom of the barrel ratings wise and while The Shield is usually a popular entity with fans, it doesn't look like that's the case this time. In fact, with WWE's over focus on The Shield, it might even be a huge contributing factor to why ratings are so low, which means a change needs to be made
Unfortunately for the part of The WWE Universe that wants to see more of The Shield, the low ratings and the overall dislike of Roman Reigns is sure to make this storyline end sooner rather then later.
Of course, the eventual Shield break up could cause more fans to leave, but it will allow the ones that didn't like the idea of The Shield reunion to return as well.
