6: Sheamus, Randy Orton & The Big Show vs. The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, & Roman Reigns)

The Shield have been one of the hotter things since debuting at Survivor Series last November. Their match with Team Hell No & Ryback stole the show at TLC back in December, and they actually managed to defeat the team of John Cena, Sheamus, and Ryback at Elimination Chamber. Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins have had an excellent start to their careers, and it’s clear that all three of them have a lot of promise for the future. I can definitely see Ambrose ending up as a future top heel.
The addition of Big Show to this match does add a few x-factors. First, there’s the fact that The Shield haven’t had the same kind of luck with him they have had with the rest of the roster. But on the flip side, it’s also been established that Show and Sheamus don’t get along, given their history.
The Shield’s undefeated streak will have to end sooner or later, but I don’t think it’ll be here. They’ve still got a lot of mileage to go, even though their gimmick and direction needs some work.
It’s been rumored that Randy Orton will soon return to his heel roots after years of being a stale babyface. If that’s the case, there’s no better time to do so than at Wrestlemania 29. He’ll either cost his team the match by attacking Sheamus, or turn on them after falling to The Shield.
Winner: The Shield following a DQ
