Big Show Vs. The Shield?

Big Show's match at Wrestlemania looks like it is starting to take shape. Big Show is currently involved with Sheamus and Randy Orton in their quest against The Shield. Those three against The Shield at Wrestlemania?

Does this mean Big Show turns face? It might happen down the road. As of right now, they are still pushing it as Big Show not getting along with Randy Orton and Sheamus, but not in the comedic way you have with Daniel Bryan and Kane. That actually adds more to the story. Not only are faces trying to find a way to knock off the undefeated heel stable, but the heel giant also has issues with the heel stable. Will he work with the faces? Can the faces trust him? Definitely makes things more interesting. And yet, I don't think this is necessary. You had a good story going just by whether anyone could knock off The Shield at Wrestlemania and who that team would be. I'm sure they could have found something else for Big Show to do. If they really wanted to turn Big Show face, have him revisit his feud with Mark Henry. Start developing him for a midcard title feud. They had options.

What really bothers me is that this takes Ryback out of the match. It looks like he might be starting a feud with Mark Henry, but that could have been done right after Wrestlemania, right after Ryback finishes with The Shield. Ryback deserves a match with The Shield at Wrestlemania more than Big Show. They have cost him more than any other wrestler they have attacked. It made perfect sense for this to be his Wrestlemania moment. It obviously won't make or break the card, but it can kill the interest some fans were having in this feud.
