Fantasy Book The Shield

By Scott Keith on 10 July 2016

> Hey Scott,

> I have a theory: The wrong people turned when the Shield broke up. Dean and Seth are fine as babyface and heel but they are MAGIC when they’re reverse. By having Seth as the snivelling heel when he’s clearly more suited for the AJ-Styles high flyer, you’re cutting off a huge piece of his personality. Meanwhile, Dean’s loose canon attitude would always be better as a Terry Funk heel, by way of David Koresh villain, he was born to play.

They could do the whole WM21 build, with Reigns being gradually more resentful of Dean, while the fans also get clued to who the real star. Then, eventually, the 2/3 Shield EXPLODES are Wrestlemania.

> Thoughts?

Seems reasonable, although it’s a bit late to fix it now. Seth’s fine as a heel as long as he’s not snivelling to the Authority, though. Roman should definitely be a heel. Dean works either way.
