Would you be my new best friends?

Codependent Poster posted:

He got bought out. And they've been pushing Seth as the guy who was the glue of the team. So it makes a lot of sense, especially when it would have been super obvious to turn Dean.

Dean's horrified look at the betrayal was really great.

This isn't an angle I would have predicted at all but I like the potential it has. It's a shame to see the end of The Shield as a group but they're pretty much going down in the record book as the most consistently dominant faction in WWE for a VERY long time.

I hate that it had to end, and maybe one day they'll get back together. But I think Dean's complete look of shock at him not being the one to stab them all in the back made it worth it.

No see he threw himself off a titantron and legit pinned one of these guys with his finisher on purpose, all a trap, he had you alll fooled etc whatever

IMO, the best explanation they could do is that Rollins was always able to be bought out, HHH just had to find out what it was. It leaves him with a mercenary streak that could help him character-wise.

It seems abrupt to break them up, but uh ... after beating Evolution, who do they have left to feud against? This continues the feud and throws a new twist into it. But otherwise, they'd jsut be out there squashing 3 heel jobbers a night and people would stop caring.

Dean talked about his "former partners" in the magazine. They probably wrote & had that set up ages ago, when The Shield was first going to break up.

I was warned a while back not to use :russo: until I see something that's actually really bad.

This was definitely a :russo: moment. Sorry, but I can't believe that in less than 24 hours that the guy who jumped off Titantrons to win for his team was just outright bought out. It's just dumb.

There was nothing left for them to do, really. They proved they were the best faction in WWE and pretty much unstoppable. So breaking them up is the next logical step.

They call up Sami Zeyn and have him be the new member.

It's pretty obvious that HHH backed up a truckful of money/power/women/hairdye to Seth's house in the last 24 hours rather than some sleeper agent poo poo. He realised that as a team they were unbeatable, so he had to split them

I get the feeling Evolution is done as a thing, it's just going to be Triple H's handpicked goons Randy Orton and Seth Rollins.

I am terrified they're going to drop the ball here, but there's literally nothing else to be done.

It's going to be really cool after a year or two of singles work when one of them is getting beat down by the big heel of the day, then the "SIERRA HOTEL INDIGO" theme hits for the first time in ages and the other two run in to make the save with a nuclear crowd pop.
