The Wyatts vs. The Shield

This week on Monday Night RAW, the Wyatts briefly brawled with the Shield.


And it was amazing. Sort of.

Whenever two of the biggest teams in WWE clash, it's (almost) always a fantastic bout, but this wasn't a match or anything. This was just a taste, like the bits of cookie crumbs the Wyatts probably find in their beards. It's unclear whether the Wyatts will in fact face the Shield in a match, but it's a possibility.
Here are three likely scenarios following the fallout of that fight:

1. The Wyatts vs. The Shield
 

Obviously this is one scenario. The problem is that the WWE doesn't like to have bad guys fighting other bad guys. One team needs to be made up of heroes, and the other villains. The Shield could possibly become heroes, given their, um...appeal...but it would take some doing. The Shield have been major villains for about a year now, and I can't help but think they'd split up after a face turn. They're too young a team for me to recommend they split, but the Nexus were together for about this long when they broke apart, so it could happen.

2. Wyatts & Shield vs. Punk and Bryan, Cody and Goldust, and the Usos.


Partway through the fight between The Wyatts and The Shield, they attacked CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, and the other four Superstars hopped in. Thus it was 6 villains vs. 6 heroes. The Survivor Series pay-per-view is coming up, and every year there's a huge 5-on-5 match there -- but that's the thing. It's a 5-on-5 match, not a 6-on-6. Maybe Bray Wyatt will sit out the match in his rocking chair, or one of the Usos will be injured, or Dean Ambrose will be involved in a US Title match instead. Whatever the case, something needs to happen to whittle the numbers down. Unless it IS a 6-on-6 match this year. Who knows.

3. Nothing


It's also possible The Wyatts vs. The Shield was only a teaser after all. They may never actually fight each other or fight together in any meaningful way. That would be a shame. Just a year ago, all six of these guys were on NXT, and now they're sparking massive brawls to end main events. I want to see these two teams FIGHT, but there's some fear in the back of my mind that says I may never get to see it.

I'll be sure to write an angry blog about it if that happens.

Until next time, have a nice day, and don't be a jabroni.
