    In a way Punk would suit the group fine but he's been drifting along lately. His performances vs the hot Shield act have been tepid at times.
    Could see Rusev as his replacement.

    Took it for granted the Solomon Crowe (the former Sami Callihan) would get the nod. As Ambrose and Crowe were both in a group before in CZW.



    But yeah people are discounting the once in a lifetime type synergy between the current group. It wasn't a completely organic thing either the three we working on the group for more than 15 months before they debuted. I know this as this angle was originally pitched as the debut of the three:

    They'll need to get this Bryan/Wyatt Family storyline sorted by the beginning of the new series of Total Divas or that will end up being one of the worst cases of continuity ever. They should probably never have included Cena and Bryan in it to begin with.

    Bray Wyatt is considered WWE’s “top project” right now. Officials are very high on him and they want him to be a top act in the company.

    As previously reported, Triple H is the main guy behind the push of The Wyatt Family

    As someone already said; Bray certainly has the potential to take a prominent role if given the right material, but I just don't think creative have what it takes to deliver in that regard.

    Replacing Reigns would be for the best. It's a risk, but a worthwhile one. They dont need to break up anytime soon so getting Reigns out on his own would be the next best thing.

    Bray is all gimmick and no ability. He will never make it as a top guy.

    Going to totally disagree with you here. Was a very good in-ring worker at NXT, and while we may have not seen it on the main roster yet, in time you will see how good he is

    I don't think he has no ability, he definitely has but he looks so out of shape these days that he looks sloppy.

    No ability? He's one of the best mic workers and promo cutters in WWE right now. Reminds me of Jake "The Snake" Roberts a bit, in the way his promos are psychological and makes you think. But ignoring that, he's a very good speaker and a good promo man.

    He's also pretty charismatic and his ring skills are up for debate but they can be worked on if need be, but that's never stopped anyone getting to the top before.

    They don't make me think at all, they're pretty much the exact same every time.

    Bray is very out of shape it must be said.

    I love the characters though, something different.

    The less he's in the ring the better.

    Harper has looked pretty impressive though.

    I think Reigns can easily be replaced, if the others kick him out and immediately replace him. Ryback could be good.

    I'm with the other guy on this. The other 2 seem better in-ring and definitely at promos, Reigns has just been booked stronger.

    Ambrose is probaly the most complete package of the 3 he has the mic skills and ability, Rollins seems to have all the ability but not much on the mic, Reigns seems to have the WWE look they seem to go for though and that trumps both the other two talents unfortunatly

    Pretty much hit the nail on the head about Reigns, though Rollins & Ambrose will be fine when The Shield inevitably implode

    Bollocks!

    Reigns oozes natural charisma and presence that the other two could only dream of having,not to mention size.Ambrose has the body of a particularly sick looking junkie and is a one trick pony (see bad Heath Ledger as the Joker impersonator) on the mic, and Rollins is grand in the ring but has shown little to no personality in the year or so he's been on the main roster.

    I'd actually have Ambrose down as the lad with the least promising future of the three.

    She's one tough cookie, she's 90 years old now which would've made her 76 when the Dudley Boys, Jeff Jarrett and Viscera were bashing her. Just finished Hardcore Holly's book and he had to do a clothesline spot with her and he said "Don't you worry Mae, I'll look after you out there". She turns to him and says "You better bring it, motherf**ker!".

    Legend.

    Hopefully not Sheamus.

    If it is Christian it wouldn't be unexpected sadly, he is quite banged up.
    Hope it ain't Jeff Hardy either.
