WWE: Examining the past, present and future of former Shield members

The Shield, without a shadow of a doubt, was one of the best stables produced by the company in recent history. From the moment they set foot in the main roster to the moment they broke up, Shield was making headlines and winning matches like they were born for it.And just like all the stables in the past, WWE saw some great potential in all three members of the Shield as they had the ability to stand out on their own even in a star-studded roster.This was easily the motive behind WWE decided to put an end to the faction and when that much awaited moment happened, the fans were presented with three individuals who were looking to reach the top.The performance of each after the faction ending has been more than impressive so here is a look back at those and how the company could set them for the future.

#3 Roman Reigns

The Past: Reigns was always the golden boy in the pack and had that aura of his family with him. The fans believed that he was sure to be a WWE champion or even scale heights that John Cena scaled. The way in which he was pushed as part of the Shield suggested the same as he was the one doing all the big work and gaining momentum even in tag matches.

The Present: Just like the fans thought, Reigns has been pushed right into the WWE title picture by the creative team. He has been regularly headlining pay-per-view and involving in Title matches which looks to be working as a foundation for the future he is set to have. There are also rumors making round suggesting that Reigns could be the champion at Battleground which proves how high his stocks are.

The Future: Winning the WWE title might not come as soon as Battleground for Reigns but he is sure to reach there at some point of this career, probably next year. As far as his near future is concerned, the rumored feud with Triple H looks all set to happen and could run all the way to end of the year. This is very important for Reigns as he needs a five star feud under his belt before he could wear the major belt around his waist.
