The Shield was aprofessional wrestlingstable inWorld Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) consisting ofDean Ambrose,Roman Reigns andSeth Rollins. The group debuted in November 2012 at theSurvivor Seriespay-per-view, and later declared their intention to fight what they perceive as "injustice" in WWE.

The Shield are known for their black ring attire (most notably their protective vests), their tendency to approach the ring through the live audience, and their trademarkpromos, were recorded from a first-person perspective using a handheld camcorder.

History

Mercenaries for CM Punk (2012–2013)

The group debuted on November 18, 2012 at theSurvivor Seriespay-per-view, when the debuting Ambrose, Reigns, and Rollins interfered in the main event, atriple threat match betweenCM Punk,John Cena, andRyback for theWWE Championship. Theypowerbombed Ryback through the announcers' table, allowing Punk to pin Cena to win the match and retain his title.

The group identified themselves as theThe Shield, and vowed to rally against injustice. Despite claiming that they were not working forCM Punk orPaul Heyman, over the next few weeks, on bothRaw andSmackDown, they would routinely emerge from the crowd to attack Punk's adversaries such as Ryback,The Miz,Kane, andDaniel Bryan. They also attackedRandy Orton after he defeatedBrad Maddox; Maddox was the referee who helped Punk defeat Ryback during theirHell in a Cell match for the WWE Championship. This led to their debut match at theTLCpay-per-view, where they faced Ryback andTeam Hell No (Kane and Bryan) in aTables, Ladders, and Chairs match and emerged victorious.

After TLC, despite continuing to attack Punk's and Maddox's adversaries such asRic Flair,Brodus Clay, andSheamus, the Shield soon expanded their ambushes to otherfaces, such asMick Foley andRicardo Rodriguez. The Shield's attacks were also used to write off wrestlers from television via injuryangles, such as Randy Orton andSin Cara, who were already suffering from legitimate injuries.

During theJanuary 2nd episode ofNXT, which was taped on December 6, 2012, the Shield made their first appearance inNXT, though Reigns and Rollins had already wrestled there before and Rollins was the inauguralNXT Champion. Rollins defended his title againstCorey Graves; as Graves was about to win the match, Ambrose and Reigns attacked him to cause a disqualification, but Rollins retained his title. On theJanuary 9th episode ofNXT, taped on the same date, Rollins facedBig 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.

On the January 7 episode ofRaw, 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. On the January 21, during the last episode ofRaw before the2013 Royal Rumble, the Shield triple-powerbombedThe Rock, Punk's WWE Championship contender at the event, resulting inVince McMahon declaring that their interference in the title match would result in Punk being stripped of the title. Four days later onSmackDown, Punk denied an alliance with the Shield before calling them out and informing them that he did not want them to interfere in his upcoming title match. 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 and retaining his title. The match was later restarted by McMahon with The Rock winning the WWE Championship.

The following night onRaw, 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 managerPaul Heyman had been paying the Shield and Brad Maddox to work for him all along.

Undefeated Streak (2013)

The next week onRaw, while calling out the Shield, Maddox revealed that he was the one who gave McMahon the footage. The Shield then attacked Maddox, but were forced to battle due to an attack by Cena, Ryback, and Sheamus. 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. This set up a six-man tag team match on February 17 atElimination Chamber, which the Shield won. The Shield had their firstRaw match the following night, where they defeated Ryback, Sheamus, andChris Jericho.

Sheamus then formed an alliance with Randy Orton to feud with the Shield. On the March 1 episode ofSmackDown, while attacking Orton during his match with Big Show, the Shield inadvertently provoked Show into attacking them; the Shield thus started a feud with Show as well. On the March 11 episode ofRaw, the Shield's first singles match occurred when Rollins faced Show; Show won via disqualification as the Shield interfered and beat him down. Despite twice helping Orton and Sheamus to fend off the Shield, Show would turn on the duo immediately after. The Shield then challenged Orton and Sheamus to find a partner and have a match with them atWrestleMania 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, resulting in Ryback being inserted into a WrestleMania match against Henry. Without a partner, Orton and Sheamus eventually accepted Show's offer to take on a common enemy despite their mistrust of him. On April 7 at WrestleMania 29, the Shield took advantage of their opponents' inability to work together to win in their WrestleMania debut.

Championship reigns, Triple H's enforcers (2013)

The following night onRaw, the group attempted to attackThe Undertaker, but were ultimately forced to retreat by Team Hell No. On the April 22 episode ofRaw, the Shield faced and defeated the combination ofThe Brothers of Destruction and Team Hell No (Undertaker, Kane and Bryan). Four days later onSmackDown, Ambrose made his singles debut against Undertaker but lost via submission, after which the Shield attacked Undertaker and triple-powerbombed him through the announcer's table. Three days later onRaw, they defeated Team Hell No and WWE Champion John Cena in a six-man tag team match with Reigns pinning Cena for the win. Ambrose then started a feud withWWE United States ChampionKofi Kingston after pinning him in a six-man tag team match also involvingThe Usos.

On May 19 atExtreme Rules, Ambrose defeated Kofi Kingston to become the new United States Champion. Later that night, Rollins and Reigns defeated Team Hell No to become the WWE Tag Team Champions. Ambrose faced Kingston on the May 24 episode ofSmackDown in a rematch for the title, and retained when Reigns and Rollins interfered causing a disqualification; Ambrose also pinned Kingston in yet another rematch for the title three days later onRaw. That same night, Rollins and Reigns retained their tag titles in a rematch for the titles against Team Hell No. On the June 14 episode ofSmackDown, the Shield's unpinned/unsubmitted streak in televised six-man tag team matches came to an end at the hands of Team Hell No and Randy Orton, when Daniel Bryan submitted Seth Rollins. AtWWE Payback, Ambrose defeated Kane via countout to retain the US title while Rollins and Reigns defeated Orton and Bryan to retain the tag team titles. The next night onRaw, Ambrose had a title rematch against Kane and retained after being disqualified.

On the June 21 episode ofRaw, The Shield attackedChristian and started a feud with him. It was also revealed that Ambrose would compete in theMoney in the Bank ladder match for theWorld Heavyweight Championship atMoney in the Bank. On the sameRaw, it was announced that The Usos will face Rollins and Reigns for the Tag Team Championship at Money in the Bank kickoff. Later on in the pay-per-view, they interfered in Ambrose's World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank ladder match, but the Usos in turn attacked Reigns and Rollins and Ambrose failed to win the match. The Shield then began a feud with Mark Henry, defeating Henry and the Usos in two six-man tag team matches, but losing to the team of Henry, Big Show and Rob Van Dam. Ambrose retained his championship via disqualification against Van Dam at the SummerSlam kickoff show. The Shield then began a feud withMark Henry, defeating Henry and the Usos in two six-man tag team matches, but losing to the team of Henry, Big Show andRob Van Dam. Ambrose retained his championship via disqualification against Rob Van Dam at theSumerSlam kickoff show.

The following night onRaw, the Shield began working for chief operating officerTriple H. They would aid WWE Champion and "the face of the WWE" Randy Orton against his number one contender, Daniel Bryan, while also attacking wrestlers like Big Show andDolph Ziggler for speaking out against Triple H's regime. AtNight of Champions, the Shield enjoyed successful title defenses when Ambrose defeated Ziggler while Reigns and Rollins defeated thePrime Time Players. AtBattleground, a firedCody Rhodes andGoldust earned their jobs back by beating Rollins and Reigns in a non-title match. On the 14 OctoberRaw, Rollins and Reigns faced the Rhodes brothers again with the tag titles on the line in a no disqualification match; the Shield lost the tag titles after an attack by Big Show. Two days later onMain Event, Ambrose successfully retained his title against Ziggler.

Cracks in the Shield (2013-2014)

The first seeds of dissension were sown in the Shield with Ambrose's boasting of being the only member left with a championship, but from then on Ambrose was frequently pinned during the Shield's matches. AtSurvivor Series, the Shield teamed with the Real Americans (Jack Swagger andAntonio Cesaro) to beat the team ofRey Mysterio, the Rhodes brothers and the Usos; Ambrose was the first man eliminated, Rollins (with one elimination) was the fourth man eliminated for his team and Reigns was the Sole Survivor after eliminating four opponents. Next,CM Punk's criticism of Triple H earned him an attack by the Shield, but Punk tasted revenge atTLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs when he overcame the Shield in a handicap match after Ambrose received a Reigns spear aimed for Punk. Punk's taunts increased tension between the Shield members, and Reigns emerged as the only Shield member to defeat Punk in a singles match, albeit with Ambrose's interference on the 6 January 2014 edition of Old SchoolRaw. All three members of the Shield competed in the2014 Royal Rumble match. Late in the match, Ambrose tried to eliminate Reigns, who retaliated by eliminating both Ambrose and Rollins. Reigns eventually finished as runner-up in the match while setting a new record for most eliminations in a single Rumble with 12; Ambrose and Rollins scored three eliminations each, and Rollins spent the second longest amount of time in the match.

On the nextRaw on 27 January 2014, the Shield faced Daniel Bryan, Sheamus and John Cena for the chance to enter theElimination Chamber match for theWWE World Heavyweight Championship, and were denied that opportunity whenthe Wyatt Family attacked their opponents, causing the Shield to lose via disqualification. The Shield vowed revenge, so a match was set up between them and the Wyatt Family at theElimination Chamber pay-per-view. On the 10 February episode ofRaw, Ambrose's open challenge for his title was answered byMark Henry, in which Ambrose only retained his title upon disqualification due to the Shield's interference; Reigns continued his tension with Ambrose by defeating Henry without interference on the nextRaw. At the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, the Shield lost to the Wyatt Family; during the match, Ambrose andBray Wyatt brawled into the crowd, but Wyatt returned to the ring with no sign of Ambrose, which caused Rollins and Reigns to be outnumbered and overwhelmed. On the March 3Raw, the Shield lost a rematch with the Wyatt Family when the Shield's poor teamwork led to Rollins walking out during the match; Rollins claimed that he had enough of being the glue holding the group together.

Rebellion against the Authority (2014)

On theMarch 7 SmackDown, the members of the Shield met in the ring to clear the air on their disharmony. Rollins said that his actions achieved his purpose of getting Ambrose and Reigns to finally see eye-to-eye. After Ambrose and Rollins hit each other, the trio reconciled.

The Shield's next feud was against Kane, who was now acting as 'Director of Operations' forthe Authority. Kane had ordered the Shield to attack commentatorJerry Lawler on the March 17 episode of Raw, however the Shield attacked Kane instead, thus turningface and assuming heroic characters for the first time. In retaliation, Kane andthe New Age Outlaws attacked the Shield on theMarch 21 episode of SmackDown while the group was already being double-teamed byRybAxel (Ryback andCurtis Axel) and theReal Americans after an inconclusive fatal-four-way match meant to determine the contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship. This set up a match pitting the Shield against Kane and the Outlaws atWrestleMania XXX, which the Shield won quickly and decisively.

The next night on the post-WrestleMania Raw, Kane inadvertently revealed that Triple H masterminded the attack on the Shield on the previous month's SmackDown. As a result, when Triple H faced WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan in a title match after Bryan was attacked by Kane, Randy Orton andBatista, the Shield interrupted the match to turn on Triple H, chasing the other wrestlers away to protect Bryan. On theApril 8 episode of Main Event, The Shield finally defeated The Wyatt Family in a six-man tag team match. Three days later, The Shield would again save Bryan from Kane, Randy Orton, and Batista, by giving a triple powerbomb to Kane.

On theApril 14 episode of Raw, after they had ambushed Batista and Randy Orton earlier in the night, the Shield were forced to face 11 other wrestlers in a 11-on-3 handicap match, which ended in a no-contest after descending into a brawl in which the Shield members were outnumbered and beaten down by their opponents. They were then further attacked by Triple H, Orton and Batista, who reformed the groupEvolution. Four days later on SmackDown, Triple H would announce that The Shield would be competing in a six-man tag team match against Evolution atExtreme Rules. In retaliation, The Shield would assaultJack Swagger, 3MB,Fandango,Curtis Axel, and even Raw General ManagerBrad Maddox before winning a 5-on-3 handicap match against Ryback,Bad News Barrett,Titus O'Neil,Damien Sandow andAlberto Del Rio a week later on SmackDown. It was initially supposed to be another 11 on 3 match, but the Shield had attacked their opponents throughout the show to whittle down the opposition. The Shield would go on to defeat Evolution atExtreme Rules.

The next night on Raw, Triple H would force Ambrose to defend hisWWE United States Championship against 19 other wrestlers in a 20-man battle royal, which Ambrose was eliminated last bySheamus, ending Ambrose's WWE record reign at 351 days. Triple H would then book The Shield to compete in a six-man tag team match against The Wyatt Family, which the group lost with a distraction by Evolution, who proceeded to assault the Shield. A rematch between the Shield and Evolution was arranged forPayback, in which The Shield won yet again.

Rollins' betrayal and disbandment (2014)

On the post-PaybackRaw on June 2, Triple H intended to continue Evolution's feud with the Shield, but Batista quit. Later that night, with the Shield in the ring, Triple H declared that he was resorting to "Plan B" in destroying the Shield. This prompted Rollins to attack Ambrose and Reigns with a chair, joining Evolution and turning heel in the process. The following week onRaw, Rollins took sole credit for the Shield's successes and claimed that he had destroyed the group to further his own interests. Meanwhile, Ambrose and Reigns vowed to exact revenge on Rollins as well as Orton and Triple H. Ambrose and Reigns went on to team with John Cena to defeat the Wyatt Family in the night's main-event.] Later in the week on SmackDown, Reigns foughtWWE Intercontinental ChampionBad News Barrett to a no-contest due to interference from3MB, and Ambrose foughtBray Wyatt for a spot in the 2014Money in the Bank ladder match for the vacantWWE World Heavyweight Championship, but lost after being distracted by Rollins. From then on, Ambrose would begin to feud with Rollins. Meanwhile, Reigns goadVickie Guerrero, who left in charge byThe Authority, to put him in the battle royal for a spot for theMoney in the Bank ladder match for theWWE World Heavyweight Championship; he won by eliminatingRusev. On the June 20SmackDown, Ambrose debuted new theme music while no longer wearing the Shield's attire. There is not going to be a formal split between Reigns and Ambrose but they have now begun going their separate ways.

Reunion (2017)

The Shield reunited onOctober 9, 2017 on Monday Night RAW. They came back together to feud withThe Miz,Braun Strowman &The Bar.

Roman Reigns hiatus and Ambrose heel turn

On theOctober 22, 2018 edition of RAW Roman announced that he had been living with leukemia for 11 years and the disease's return would force him to relinquish the Universal Championship and take a leave of absence from WWE. On the same night Ambrose and Rollins defeatedDolph Ziggler &Drew McIntyre for theWWE Raw Tag Team Championship. After the match Ambrose turned on Rollins and attacked him thus disbanding the Shield a second time.
