5 ways WWE could book The Shield

#2 Return of CM Punk

It might be a long shot, but anything's possible

Legend says that The Shield was first brought in to be muscle for CM Punk. Punk has spoken in the past how he was the one who pitched the idea to WWE creative, only for Roman Reigns to be replaced by Kassius Ohno in Punk's proposal.

History told of how The Shield debuted and rose to popularity, but it would have been much different if CM Punk had been their leader as first proposed.

There's currently an ugly legal matter between Punk and WWE, but you can never say never in pro wrestling. The Shield will have a nice run and tell some good stories but eventually, there might be time for a shake-up.

What if WWE starts throwing in references that there is a grand mastermind behind all of this? From the Raw Tag Team Title victory at SummerSlam to The Shield's reforming, all of it was carefully orchestrated.

When the time comes to reveal this unseen force, "Cult Of Personality" could ring out once more and CM Punk would come out to one of the biggest reactions in WWE History.

Punk could announce himself as a part-timer and wear the badge proudly as he only faces handpicked opponents. But whenever he showed up it would be in association with The Hounds Of Justice. This decision might do a lot of amazing things in the overall landscape of WWE.
