Where do people see this going, will The Shield bring in a new man or is this the end for the hounds of justice, I actually thought Ambrose would have been the one to turn, not Rollins
I think it was the right decision to turn Rollins heel.
I can understand why Ambrose may seem like the obvious choice to some. However, in addition to being sneaky and probably untrustworthy, I think his character also comes across as unhinged and non-conformist. The current version of Evolution comes across as conformist, yielding to corporate whimsy and I don't think Ambrose really fits that mould. Besides, although Reigns is being positioned as the obvious star, Ambrose has a lot of charisma and is probably one of the top three babyface wrestlers in the company (Goldust and Cena would be other two). By this I mean he actually knows how to get sympathy from the crowd through what he does in the ring. Just watch him, Ambrose really is that good.
I'm not sure as to whether adding a new member to The Shield is a good idea. They would have to bring in someone who fits the group better than Rollins did which, of course, is problematic as this is the only version we've known and Rollins was an integral part of that group. A new version of The Shield may diminish the strength of the previous version which wouldn't help Reigns (or Ambrose) if they are to move up the card. However, although Reigns is popular, he needs someone to cover his weaknesses. He is still quite green having being protected by Rollins, Ambrose and a variety of opponents. Outside of his Superman Punch and Spear, both of which generate huge crowd reactions, what other notable offence has he got?
Rollins will be fine in his new role - I think he'll make a good lackey for HHH .
