How Will The Shield Split Up?, Reason for Their Babyface Turn on RAW

- We noted before that there is still a plan in place for The Shield to split up. The plan is for Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose to play the heel tag team while Roman Reigns will be booked as a top singles babyface.

The apparent babyface turn by The Shield on RAW was done to accomplish two things – allow The New Age Outlaws to work a program with them, which they requested, and to better set up Reigns’ big singles run.

The idea behind better setting up Reigns’ singles run is that it’s better for Ambrose and Rollins to turn on Reigns than it is for Reigns to turn on them.
