When you think of WWE in the modern era, it is impossible to top The Shield in terms of impact, and in terms of just how they influenced the business. And at no point am I going to say that Roman Reigns and The Usos are as cool as The Shield were, but they are a worthy replacement in terms of a dominant babyface faction.

There's almost no chance that Dean Ambrose will be returning to WWE in the near future because he has a pretty cool gig with AEW and really seems to be enjoying a lot. And so, a Shield reunion is pretty much not possible at the moment unless they decide to do a reboot with a brand new member like Aleister Black or Mustafa Ali.

But even if that were the case, Seth Rollins is a heel and Vince McMahon/Paul Heyman may not want him to become a babyface for the sake of a Shield reunion.

In any case, this is a replacement, watered-downed version of The Shield, which, to be honest, is quite popular with WWE fans.
