The Shield Vs. Cena & The Gang

At Elimination Chamber, The Shield will face John Cena, Sheamus, and Ryback. Ryback has been feuding with this group for months. Sheamus entered the picture a few weeks ago. Cena turned his full attention to the group after he was attacked by them after the Royal Rumble PPV. Will The Shield once again be victorious?

Before I look at the actual match, let me talk about the storyline development for this stable. It was already revealed that they were being paid to help CM Punk. That kind of kills this gimmick about fighting injustice. And yet, the WWE is still having the group push that idea. In terms of that gimmick, the group is looking pretty weak right now. They should just have them properly align with Heyman and Punk. There hasn't been any interactions between The Shield and Heyman and Punk since the reveal. Why not? They might as well go for it.

Storyline momentum is not the only thing that has been lost. The Shield has gotten beaten by Cena and his troops for the second week in a row now. There is still Smackdown for The Shield to regain momentum before the PPV, but they are really making the group look bad.

Who should win? I am not a fan of any of the three guys in the stable, but I wouldn't mind them winning this one. Would it really kill Cena's momentum that much? He is getting a title shot at Wrestlemania no matter what happens at Elimination Chamber. Cena always has to look like the hero, and he is teaming with some other strong faces, so a face victory would not be surprising. It would be a little refreshing if this did not end up like the Nexus angle. Have The Shield head into Wrestlemania with two big PPV wins under their belts. It could be a big Wrestlemania moment for Ryback to finally get his revenge against the group at the big event. The Shield can provide a great story heading into Wrestlemania, if they have momentum.
