The Shield: A Decade Of Dominance
Рет қаралды 278,975
Жыл бұрынIt's been 10 years since fans were introduced to the group known as The Shield. Roman Reigns, Jon Moxley, and Seth Rollins for the past decade have been the guys in WWE and AEW, and they've been nothing short of excellent. Giving fans legendary characters, matches, and rivalries. 10 years later let's take a look at some of their best matches, moments, and slow but steady rise.

@It's Atharva Seth absolutely has star power. Look at his achievements, he’s done basically everything you can possibly do in wwe, 4 time world champ, 2 time us, 2 time IC, 6 time tag champ, MITB winner, Royal rumble winner, 2015 wrestler of the year, beat John Cena and Sting in the same night to become world champ and US champ. he’s absolutely a star & i don’t understand how people forget this. Moxley has huge star power as well not as much achievements as Seth but still, World champ in WWE & Aew. US champ in NJPW and wwe. 3 time IC, 2 time Tag champ. Won MITB , 2020 Wrestler of the year, has done the grand slam twice. also did great stuff in CZW after leaving wwe. Roman was last too win wrestler of the year actually and up until he turned heel was much more hated then Seth and Mox. All three of the are already legends of the business and some of the best in the world right now. but by no means is Roman the only one with star power.

It’s unbelievable how 10 years ago, this legendary stable debut and changed the wrestling world forever. While it was a bit hard at first for all 3 members to obtain great singles careers and they each had bumps along their way, but where they are nowadays, it’s just insane. Roman being the unstoppable GOAT right now, Seth being the iconic Visionary giving us many classics, and of course, Moxley giving us badass times with AEW and gave many people, who not only don’t want to return to WWE, but for those who haven’t watched since Attitude, now got an interest in wrestling again. I’m happy for all 3 men right now, it’ll be a sad day when all 3 retire. So until then, let’s all enjoy these 3 awesome competitors together, no matter if you love one company more than the other, or enjoy them both. Long live The Shield.

As someone who remembers the Ruthless Aggression Era, as someone who sat through the early PG Era The Shield was such a huge hit at the time bringing a new life to the WWE. Every time Sierra Hotel India Echo Lima Delta SHIELD played you knew it was going down. And to see their dominate run together smashing the previous era, and watched their character arcs after splitting up. The Shield is the best thing to happen to wrestling in the past 15 years.

The best faction to get its young talent over since Evolution in my opinion. Other factions have either failed or didn’t get every member over or established like these 2. I think Nexus could’ve been up there with them if they didn’t get buried at SummerSlam in my opinion. Legacy was a personal favorite that fizzled out but it’s great to see Cody being a main eventer. The Shield is definitely the most successful since Evolution.
