The Shield Looking More Than Impressive

The Shield once again defeated a team consisting of the centerpiece, John Cena. This time, however, they actually got to pin Cena. That is probably the cleanest pinfall loss Cena has taken against a heel in a long time. There was no outside interference, use of illegal objects, or hook of the tights or use of the ropes for leverage during the pin. Cena's only excuse was that he was injured. Considering he was not 100% and Ryback tricked Cena into that position, you can still argue that it wasn't completely clean. Nevertheless, that was a big win for The Shield. Sooner or later, Cena will be avenging that loss.

It is also interesting that the WWE is letting the group have the main-event spotlight on Smackdown. You would hope that would go to Dolph Ziggler and World's Heavyweight Championship matters. It's still good that the WWE is passing spotlight around on the show that no longer has one consistent centerpiece.

They were teasing the possibility of a fourth member a while back. I know I brought up the possibility of adding a new member back around Wrestlemania. As of now, that is not necessary at all. The Shield has a ton of momentum to keep them fresh right now. They are likely even closing in on the tag titles. As long as the WWE keeps booking them well, it really doesn't matter if the gimmick aspect or anything like that still doesn't work too well. Every time they do a promo about injustice, I just have no idea what they are talking about. What do their current actions really have to do with injustice in the WWE? As long as they are so dominant, you can let those storyline issues go.
