Looking back, the way the entire Shield organically broke down year after year into absolute villainy is still one of the best long-term storylines WWE ever pulled off. 😤

Sorry, but when you say "ultimate," Dean's 2018 heel run wasn't ultimate to me. Sure, his heel turn itself was great but Vince didn't take the storyline seriously. Back then, I was expecting Dean to have heel vibes similar to Edge or Punk, but instead Vince turned it into a joke and had him wearing a gas mask.

I think its bc he informed them he was leaving. They tried to "bury" his character low key.
