WWE Forced To Alter Plans For Roman Reigns And The Shield

The unfortunate injury to Dean Ambrose apparently threw a huge wrench into WWE’s long-term plans.

According to RingsideNews.com, Ambrose’s injury has changed future live event plans for Roman Reigns and may have permanently delayed The Shield’s reunion.

Since Ambrose’s injury, there have been significant amounts of changes to several television storylines and it now looks like one plan the company had in mind could be nixed altogether. WWE was originally planning a Shield reunion tour at WWE Live Events, which has already been pushed back once after Roman Reigns caught the mumps a couple months back…The belief is once Ambrose returns from injury in nine months, Roman Reigns will already be WWE Universal Champion, so it wouldn’t make much sense to do the tour.

WHAT’S IT MEAN FOR WWE?

It’s clear that WWE had long term plans for The Shield to stick together (or at least be loosely associated with another) because Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan recently winning the Raw Tag Team Championship suggests Rollins and Ambrose were initially slated to get that victory.
