7 Shocking Ways WWE Tricked  Fans Into Rooting For Roman Reigns This Week

#1 Turning the Raw roster on The Shield

What effect will the locker room turning on The Shield have on The Universal title picture?

It's not exactly known yet how Bruan Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre convinced The Raw locker room to ambush The Shield, but the move really did its job of creating an everyone against The Sheild mentality. It also left The Shield lying prone for the second week in a row, which is slowly starting to ignite a groundswell of support around the group.

Of course, WWE is going to have the allow the locker room to explain themselves for their actions, but this move seems to solve a lot of problems for WWE. Not only does it make The Shield look like the defacto underdogs of the entire feud, it also turns Strowman into a powerful heel in the process, which should protect him when he takes a loss at HIAC.

In the end, WWE was extremely smart to have everyone turn on The Shield in the closing moments of Raw and it will be interesting to see what the company does next with the storyline. Furthermore, it will also be interesting to see how this affects Strowman versus Reigns at Hell in a Cell and what it will do to the ending of the match.
