The Shield is portrayed as a [[terrorism|terrorist]] [[gang]] that has no qualms with taking unjust, immoral measures to righting all the many wrongs they believe to be existent in the [[WWE]]. Often, the [[heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] stable is seen ambushing, outnumbering, and skillfully exploiting chaos. Garbed in [[personal armor]], each of the group members take on the appearance of [[riot police]]. The Shield's trademarked promos are held in [[electrical room]]s in which they hold a hand-held [[camcorder]] close up to their faces one by one and express their intentions. As another trademark of the stable, their entrances and exits are typically made by coming through the audience as opposed to using the aisle way. The Shield's catch phrase is "Believe in the Shield!"

The Shield is a professional wrestling stable in WWE, consisting Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. The group debuted in November 2012 at the Survivor Series pay-per-view, and later declared their intention to fight what they perceive as injustice in WWE. Ambrose is currently the United States Champion, while Reigns and Rollins are the Tag Team Champions.

History

Debut and undefeated streak (2012–2013)

The group debuted on November 18, 2012, at the Survivor Series pay-per-view, when the debuting Ambrose, Reigns and Rollins interfered in the main event, a triple threat match between CM Punk, John Cena, and Ryback for the WWE Championship. They powerbombed Ryback through the announcers' table, allowing Punk to pin Cena to win the match and retain his title.[1]

The Shield making their entrance by the arena steps.

The group named themselves "The Shield" and vowed to rally against injustice. The Shield make their entrance by walking down through the crowd. Despite claiming that they were not working for CM Punk or Paul Heyman, over the next few weeks, on both Raw and SmackDown, they would routinely emerge from the crowd to attack Punk's adversaries such as Ryback, The Miz, Kane, and Daniel Bryan. They also attacked Randy Orton after he defeated Brad Maddox; Maddox was the referee who helped Punk defeat Ryback during their Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Championship. This led to their debut match at the TLC pay-per-view, where they faced Ryback and Team Hell No (Kane and Bryan) in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match and emerged victorious.[3][4][5][6][7]

After TLC, despite continuing to attack Punk's and Maddox's adversaries such as Ric Flair, Brodus Clay, and Sheamus, the Shield soon expanded their ambushes to other faces, such as Tommy Dreamer and Ricardo Rodriguez.[8][9][10] The Shield's attacks were also used to write off wrestlers from television via injury angles, such as Randy Orton and Sin Cara, who were already suffering from legitimate injuries.[11][12]

During the January 2, 2013 episode of NXT, which was taped on December 6, 2012,[13] the Shield made their first appearance in NXT, though Reigns and Rollins had already wrestled there before and Rollins was the inaugural NXT Champion. Rollins defended his title against Corey Graves; as Graves was about to win the match, Ambrose and Reigns attacked him to cause a disqualification, but Rollins retained his title.[14] On the January 9 episode of NXT, taped on the same date, Rollins faced Big E Langston in a no disqualification title match. The other NXT wrestlers neutralized the other Shield members, and Langston defeated Rollins to win the title.[15]

The Shield attacking Kane.

On the January 7 episode of Raw, the Shield once again aided CM Punk by attacking Ryback during their Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the WWE Championship, which resulted in Punk retaining his title.[16] On the last episode of Raw before the Royal Rumble, the Shield attacked The Rock, Punk's opponent in the Royal Rumble for the WWE Championship, resulting in Vince McMahon declaring that their interference in the title match would result in Punk being stripped of the title.[17] On the last episode of SmackDown before the Royal Rumble, Punk denied an alliance with the Shield before calling them out. The trio emerged and surrounded the ring. Punk informed them that he did not want them to interfere in his upcoming title match. They then left.[18] However, during Punk's title match at the Royal Rumble, a blackout occurred and The Rock was attacked by the Shield in the darkness, leading to Punk pinning The Rock. The match was later restarted by McMahon with The Rock winning.[19]

The next day on Raw, the Shield attacked John Cena; Sheamus and Ryback suffered the same fate when they attempted to save Cena. Later in the show, it was revealed through footage played by Vince McMahon that Punk's manager Paul Heyman had been paying the Shield and Brad Maddox to work for him all along.[20] The next week on Raw, while calling out the Shield, Maddox revealed that he was the one who gave McMahon the footage. The Shield then attacked Maddox (as they had in the footage), but were forced to retreat due to an attack by Cena, Ryback, and Sheamus.[21] The Shield justified their feud with the trio due to a "decade of injustice" caused by Cena creating an environment where any wrestler would not face consequences for his actions, and whose mentality they felt had spread to other wrestlers like Ryback and Sheamus.[22] This set up a six-man tag team match at Elimination Chamber,[23] which the Shield won.[24] The Shield had their first Raw match the next day on the February 18 episode, where they defeated Ryback, Sheamus, and Chris Jericho.[25]

Sheamus then formed an alliance with Randy Orton to feud with the Shield. On the March 1 episode of SmackDown, while attacking Orton during his match with Big Show, the Shield inadvertently provoked Show into attacking them;[26] the Shield thus started a feud with Show as well. On the March 11 episode of Raw, the Shield's first singles match occured when Rollins faced Show; Show won via disqualification as the Shield interfered and beat him down.[27] Despite twice helping Orton and Sheamus to fend off the Shield, Show would turn on the duo immediately after.[28] The Shield then challenged Orton and Sheamus to find a partner and have a match with them at WrestleMania 29. Show volunteered, but Orton and Sheamus chose Ryback as their partner. Meanwhile, Mark Henry's distraction of Ryback resulted in the Shield conducting a successful assault on Ryback,[29] resulting in Ryback being inserted into a WrestleMania match against Henry.[30] Without a partner, Orton and Sheamus eventually accepted Show's offer to take on a common enemy despite their mistrust of him.[31] At WrestleMania 29, the Shield took advantage of their opponents' inability to work together to win in their WrestleMania debut.[32]

Championship reigns (2013–present)

On the Raw after WrestleMania, the group targeted The Undertaker, but Team Hell No forced the group to retreat.[33] They also continued to target John Cena and Ryback. On the April 22 episode of Raw, the Shield faced and defeated a combination of The Brothers of Destruction and Team Hell No (Undertaker, Kane and Bryan).[34] Four days later on Smackdown, Ambrose made his singles debut against Undertaker but lost via submission, after-which the rest of the Shield attacked and triple-powerbombed Undertaker through the announce table.[35] Three days later on Raw, they defeated Team Hell No and John Cena in a six-man tag team match with Reigns pinning Cena. Four days later on Smackdown, Ambrose defeated Kane in his second singles match. They continued with a win over The Usos and Kofi Kingston. Four days later on Smackdown, Ambrose defeated Daniel Bryan via disqualification when Kingston attacked him after Rollins and Reigns interfered. On the May 13 episode of Raw, The Shield's undefeated streak in televised six man tag team matches ended in a disqualification loss in an elimination match against Cena, Kane and Bryan. With Kane and Bryan eliminated, Cena pinned Rollins and then Reigns was disqualified. Ambrose was disqualified when Reigns and Rollins attacked Cena.[36]
