Awesome read. And I like the idea of slamming some stuff together to make folks matter/stronger. And that's even with this whole plan having a little WCW to it. A 'real' heel group with actually threatening folks would be cool. And the matches would be the best.

>Finish the night with Sting and Rollins. Let Sting have a bit

>Hunter, Kane, and Show attempt a beat down to both guys.
>Sheamus cashes in on Seth, and a bigger beat down ensues.
>Sting grabs a chair to even things up a bit, then the screen

>Dean and Reigns make the save WITHOUT FUCKING MUSIC.

>Let everyone go at it for about a minute before Baron Corbin's

>attack the Shield/Sting....before turning and mollywhooping
>Braun. The faces clear the ring, Corbin and Ambrose lock eyes,
>hug, and Reigns does the Shield fist, followed by Dean and
>Corbin. They all look at Seth, who looks at them and mouths
>something along the lines of "I'm sorry. What did I do?"
>before rolling out of the ring.

>Tomorrow night the Authority/Wyatt "Ministry" or whatever the
>fuck the y call it delivers a promo about power, how to get
>it, and what it takes to keep it. Bray says some shit about
>there being time enough for titles but for the time being,
>power is what he craves. Hunter echos that sentiment and does
>some speaking for Sheamus. So we'd get a new faction of
>Sheamus as champ with the Wyatt's as his enforcers. Kane and
>Show get unceremoniously dismissed in the process.
>
>Far as Seth, we see him come out and apologize to The Shield
>for what he did and talks about how what he did was
>unforgivable and how grateful he was that they did what they
>did.

>the next month would follow Seth going it alone without trying
>to patch things up with The Shield as the Shield guys reach

>Series, where we'd get the full blown Shield reunion, albeit
>with Corbin added to the mix. We'd get explanations to his

>There's no downside to this angle. Obviously the gaps would

>elevates everyone in a big way, keeps Reigns protected in the

>role he's well suited to given his limitations that WOULD help
>add some depth and intrigue to this whole mix.

>The whole thing would be hotshot like crazy but by the end of
>the night we'd see the entire main event landscape altered in
>huge ways, we'd get the Shield back, the Wyatt's would breathe
>serious life into a stale ass Authority story that shows no

>That's my fantasy book for the night.
