They are quite possibly one of the most dominant and successful factions of all-time. They're certainly the best of the past decade or so. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose made an immediate impact upon their main roster debut in 2012.
Following their split, the trio went their separate ways and each had their own success in one way or another. The most impressive statistic since their split is the fact that all three have won the WWE Championship at least once.
In recent weeks, there have been a few teasers indicating a future return of the stable. Rollins and Reigns appear to be partnering up more often than not these days and Ambrose has found his way into the fold as well, from time to time.
Of course, the only way this works is if the brand-split ends, or they all somehow end up on the same show. Regardless, I do believe 2017 is the year of the return of The Shield.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
