WWE News: Dean Ambrose Tells The Story Behind The Shield's Breakup

I was thinking from a fan perspective. I don't remember any clamoring for a breakup at all. In fact, I feel like most of the anticipation was for the potential confrontation and feud with the Wyatts. I know the sheets were talking about the breakup, and who would get slotted where, but I'm not even sure that they were in favor of it more than just reporting what management was going to do.
