The Shield
Professional Wrestling Stable | Sports Team
The Shield was a professional wrestling stable in WWE that consisted of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins. They are widely known as one of the best and most dominant factions in WWE history. The group debuted on November 18, 2012 at the Survivor Series pay-per-view. The Shield was a dominant force in six-man tag team matches with an undefeated televised streak lasting from December 2012 to May 2013. In May 2013 at Extreme Rules, all three members of The Shield won a championship, with Ambrose winning the United States Championship, while Rollins and Reigns captured the WWE Tag Team Championship.
The Shield at various points served as hired guns for CM Punk and The Authority, later going on to face their former employers in separate feuds. Rollins left the group on June 2 of 2014 when he attacked Ambrose and Reigns with a chair and sided with The Authority. Ambrose and Reigns went on their own ways as singles wrestlers later that month, marking the end of The Shield.

Following the group's dissolution, each member of The Shield went on to become a world champion. All three reigned as WWE World Heavyweight Champion within a three-minute span at the end of the 2016 Money In The Bank event: Rollins defeated Reigns for the championship and then Ambrose cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase (which he won earlier that night) on Rollins to win the title.
In the lead-up to the 2017 SummerSlam event, Ambrose and Rollins reunited and captured the Raw Tag Team Championship. The Shield reunited once again on the August 20, 2018 episode of Raw to prevent Braun Strowman from cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Reigns. However, in October that same year, The Shield disbanded following Reigns' hiatus over his leukemia rediagnosis and Ambrose's betrayal towards Rollins. After Reigns returned in February 2019 and announced that his leukemia was in remission, the trio reunited and won the main event match of Fastlane that same month. The Shield's final match together would be be at the special event The Shield's Final Chapter, as well as Ambrose's final match in WWE.
