2. How long will the Shield reunion last?
The Shield made their reunion official this week on Raw. It was a fun sight and composed of the entire package – the triple power bomb to the commentary table and the fist bump. We have waited ages to see this sight once more. However, nothing lasts forever. Especially, in the WWE, everything has an expiration date. When will that day come for the Shield?

The ripples of their reunion are still echoing through the WWE Universe. However, we already have rumors about the group not sticking around for long. But there still is so much the Hounds of Justice could do this time around. A feud with the Balor Club is a no-brainer for starters. However, the long-term plan for Roman Reigns has always been to main event WrestleMania and defeat Brock Lesnar. The whole reunion arc might get in the way of that.
So does this mean we might as well savor every moment of the Shield while we still can? Apparently yes. However, the bigger question is how they will break up. Will someone turn heel this time around as well and break them up from the inside? Or would all three of them go on their own ways, promising to reunite whenever the time and circumstances call for it? The second options seems to pander more to my taste.
