The Night The Shield Died..

- The Shield is no doubt one of the greatest and most loved acts in the history of the WWE. From 2012 until 2014 in their original run, The Shield was dominating the WWE. Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, (Jon Moxley) and Seth Rollins were the future. By 2014, once the group had finally turned face, they had basically every single WWE fan behind them. There was finally a group in the WWE that the fans did not want to see end, and it seemed as if the dominance of The Shield was just beginning.. however that was not the case, instead the end was near. Lets go back and take a look at what made The Shield so special, and lets also go back to the night.. the night that was supposed to be just another WWE RAW.. but ended up being The Night The Shield Died..

@@EpicPlayz-ur6ud facts
A great vid like all ways
already kno this was going to be a banger whn I saw the thumbnail 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The loud "no" before Seth hit Roman was the icing on the cake. Not gonna lie though, when they reunited against Braun Strowman has to be one of my favorite shield moments.
That "NOOOOOOOOOOO" genuinely hurt my heart and still does 😭😭😭😭😭😭
No doubt he still loses sleep over that hit
I thought they reunited against Randy in a fatal four way first
@@isaiahgarcia163 they only did a triple powerbomb and when rollins put his fist forward, reigns and dean attacked him
@@arthurdalenogare5795 yeah I guess you’re right lol
What makes the Shield even better is the fact how successful all of them became. Wrestling wouldn’t be the same without them
And All of them are Grand Slam Champions and was WWE champion on the same night
It would be better because wwe wouldn’t have spent 5 years wasting their time on a push and pushed other guys
Exactly, we would not have 2 big names currently in the WWE and Jon Moxley was in WWE for a while and stuff so yeah
Vince McCancer screwed over a lot of people, boy. Especially Reigns!
@@pleaseshutup7053you’re clueless kid, go back to sleep, it’s nap time
The dude who yelled "NO!!!" made the breakup more special
That’s the part that makes many people’s heart break it’s genuine and emotional.
I think the craziest part about this breakup is really seeing how far they have come since this moment. Sure, all three of them have had rocky moments in their come ups (Roman and Dean/Jon especially) but seeing where these three are now makes the story of the Shield even better.
Well this was an unexpected cameo to see here
What kind of rocky come ups?
@@sibabalemdzeke6952 um roman not getting over as a face, seth’s growing pains as a face & deans garbage booking when he was solo.
@@sibabalemdzeke6952 Roman's 2015, Dean's few months feuding with Seth and the many questionable booking moments/decisions for the both of them in the first two years of both being solo. Seth also with his first solo world title run.
But now all three of them are Top Stars of their companies.. Long live The Shield.
The Shield was hands down one of the most badass groups ever made. All of their matches and programs were great and made everyone pay attention to them. It was so awesome, but while we knew they would split eventually, the way it was executed, I bet no one saw coming and that’s why it was memorable. People still talk about it today, and it goes to show how sad it was. But overall, we should all be grateful this stable was a thing as it gave us 3 of the biggest GOATs of the modern era. Truly an iconic stable.
I wouldn't call them goats in any capacity tbh, too soon for that.
@@123dan165 to be fair he did say the modern era and I would agree, not many from this era that I would put up there
@@randellhowardiv8168 yh even of the modern era they still have more work to do. Reigns run is good but it took a considerably long time to finally get him over, moxley doesn't always hit the notes in AEW and was underwhelming as ambrose, rollins is good and imo the most complete package however he isn't always consistently great. They need more time to consistently be best at the main event scene to be considered "GOATS of the modern era" but that's me.
@@123dan165 they all have had they’re own problems but they have gotten better, nd most of the problems with them are from the writing they received from creative and poor booking decisions 🤷🏾♂️ they are the top 3 from this new era
@@123dan165 nah. Definitely goats right now
The heel turn was done so well in retrospective because you didn't see it coming and it legit broke your heart when it did. The Shield is definitely one of the best factions of the modern era and it gave us 3 future top guys in Roman, Seth and Dean now Jon Moxley in AEW.
And now all three of them are champions.
The Rollins heel turn happened too soon, and it led to a disastrous face push as a singles competitor for Reigns!
They could’ve done more 😢😢
Nah it made my day i hated shield lol
Craziest part about this whole story is it being technically finally ended 9+ years later for good after Cody beat Roman reigns
Absolute cinema
The Shield is by far, the best faction WWE created in the 2010s. A trio of developmental prospects who were called up and went on to have one of the best main event runs ever. I was shocked when the break-up happened because it just seemed so out of left field. 2014 was truly a year full of surprises in WWE.
The best one was nexus but the shield didn't get buried
2014 also was a year where MOST of the surprises were

The Wyatt Family was good too, but Vince fucked it up! Classic Vince: does one thing well, completely misses 20 other things! 🤦🏻♂️ The SHIELD was amazing at the time!
Quite possibly the greatest trio in wrestling history. I was so heartbroken that night, but to see them now in the positions they are in their respective company’s kinda makes that betrayal worth it
The original nwo don’t exist to you huh? The nwo literally changed the course of wrestling
@@pleaseshutup7053 shield members have definitely had more successful careers
@@sirmega did you just say the shield had more successful careers thank HULK HOGAN. Are you seriously saying that?? Not once but twice hill hogan made pro wrestling the coolest thing on the planet. You seen when Scott hall passed it was literally worldwide headlines new stations that don’t even talk wrestling covered his passing. Hulk hogan Kevin nash and Scott hall are a different level you just made a foolish statement. Lol better careers hahahaha nobody in wrestling ever has or will have a better career than hogan he is the Goat. Tom brady Michael Jordan. Alexander the Great. Abe Lincoln. Michael Jackson. The goat of any hogan is one of them.

The saddest part of that betrayal is in the video where Seth betrayed Roman and Dean, right as he's about to hit Roman with a chair, you can hear a guy in the crowd (the Brock Lesnar guy) scream "NOOOOOOO!!!" I felt that and it broke my heart.
Traumas are never forgotten and Roman Reigns never got over the betrayal of his brother Seth Rollins in The Shield, and this was the main reason why his historic reign ended last week.
Roman Reigns could have easily hit Cody Rhodes with the chair and won the match. Instead, he preferred to pursue a 10-year grudge he had against Seth Rollins, did not want to miss that opportunity and exacted his revenge against Rollins. That's why Seth came out with The Shield's music and clothing, when he could have easily gone out with any other clothing and his current music.
Seth knew that this way he would get into Roman's mind. This is the narration of a long-term Storyline and a perfect ending to the closing of Roman Reigns' reign. SETH ROLLINS WAS THE ARCHITECT OF ROMAN'S DEFEAT AND THE END OF HIS HISTORIC REIGN.
Curiously, the old era of WWE begins with Rollins' betrayal of The Shield, and ends and begins a new era as a result of the trauma related to that. In short, narrative quality at its finest. It's CINEMA 🚬
I WAS 8 YEARS OLD and my little heart couldn't handle it. For years after I "completely" forgot that wrestling was scripted, because of THIS one moment. I am a little embarrassed about how many times I cried over this and how many times I imagined it never happened in the first place. Even when they reunited, nothing was ever the same again. So with a heavy heart I say RIP The SHIELD.
Right, like that,"NOOOOOOOOOOO" genuinely hurt my heart and still does bro😭😭😭😭😭
Reunion is never the same. It's a sad truth
bro being young and seeing seth backstab the shield truly made a young me cry
Same 😭😭😭I was 7
I was soo happy i hated shield soo much idk why people loved them
2014 as a whole was a great year. The Shield, Daniel Bryan’s story, Evolution reunion, the rise of Suplex City, Rollins/Ambrose rivalry, Sting debut, Damien Mizdow stunt double, etc.
Honestly 2016 as well
@@unstablebrother Yep, 2014 and 2016 are the two best years of the 2010s.
Wwe buried mizdow they didn’t even get a wrestlemania match. Bryan’s year and story was cut short. Wwe fans ruined Batista return. Cm punk left leaving a massive whole in likeable faces wwe stil hasn’t recovered. The authority emasculated most of the roster. The undertakers streak ended in the most anticlimactic way possible. It was far from a great year so many problems. 2014 was even the year of over pushing reigns started. The cena Wyatt rivalry sucked. Instead of cena vs undertaker. They had cena bury Wyatt
@@pleaseshutup7053 how did the fans ruin Batista’s return?
@@pleaseshutup7053 lol how did cena buried wyatt losing a match is not a burial at all and mizdow was never a main event star and bryan got the perfect mania momentwhat are ou talking about and punk leaving wwe was one of the best decision vince ever made otherwise he would have tried to bury wwe like he is doing with aew 2014 created rollins as the top heel in the company while I agree with streak thing but still it was a good year and 2016 was the last good year for wwe.
I was legit so sad because the Shield was my favorite faction of all time, but then a year later Seth Rollins became my favorite in 2015
Dean ambrose became my favorite
Bro seth rollins literally cheated every match and roman reigns was the hero not seth idk why you loved him instead of reigns
The Shield is so iconic
From the theme, to the outfit, to the personalities.
Everything was perfect. And their rivalry with Daniel Bryan and Evolution were absolutely incredible
And the moment to break the Shield up couldn't have been better.
Because after Payback 2014 they were at their absolute best, at their peak. And to split them up in such a moment. This was just the right moment to get fans really invested in it. And it worked
S.H.I.E.L.D got me back to watching WWE back in the beginning of 2014 from not watching it since like 2010. I wasn’t expecting them to breakup at their very peak after defeating Evolution. It still feels like yesterday that this happened and it’s been eight years already that’s crazy.
I remember being in my Grandma's room watching that episode of Monday Night RAW when Seth Rollins betrayed The Shield. I was so shocked because they beat Evolution twice so I was like, "why would Seth do this". Definitely a good unexpected heel turn. After Seth turned heel and him and Dean were feuding, I remember a meme from 2015 of how Seth became a corporate sellout, Dean became a lunatic, and Roman *STILL* had The Shield gimmick.
This era was my childhood, I remember being so shocked at this moment.
The guy who said “noooooooooooo” made my heart pop out of it’s place
You know the group is that good that they had to be broken up quicker than everyone wanted just because they had 3 main eventers aligned 😂 it was perfect.
If the Shield is ever to reunite either in the WWE or AEW all three are definitely megastars now. Before it was Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose. Now it’s Seth “Freakin” Rollins, The Tribal Chief, and Jon Moxley.
Seth "Freakin" Rollins
The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns
The Death Rider Jon Moxely
The reunite would tear down the house
2014 was such a good and intense year that I miss even it's saddest moments. From Team Cena's victory to The Shield breaking up, from Bryan's title win to the end of The Streak, it made you feel something strong.
Thank you for bringing back my childhood. I miss these guys. And i cried when seth lost the other night at mania 40, he was my favorite out of all of them and he really made me love wrestling. Great video❤
I was one of them 10 year old kids. After punk left and Bryan was out of commission the shield was definitely my favourite thing in wwe. Seeing them feud with evolution was the coolest thing ever back in 2014 and that match with the Wyatt family is an absolute 5-star banger and you can’t change my mind. The night Rollins turned I was just in shock. Few wrestling moments have made my eyes pop out of my skull like that one did, the only other one I can think of at the top of my head was edge’s 2020 royal rumble return. I was also one of those guys that started watching in 08-09 so yeah, the shield was definitely really awesome to me.
Lol same bro but I was like 7-8 around that time and started watching casually 2009-2010 but was actively following it in 2012 I been watching wrestling as long as I could remeber since I was a baby but yh
That fan screaming " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO " Before Seth Rollins levels Roman was us all that night ...
I was there when the shield broke up. I’m the little spaz in the blue sweatshirt on the left side of the stands (when the camera switches to the wide angle on the side of the ring) holding a Evolution sign. I had just turned 15, and was losing my mind because I was one of the only people who didn’t really care for the shield at the time. I just happened to be lucky enough to be at the live show that they decided to split up the shield. What a time…
Definitely one of the kids you mentioned. Being 15 years old and only started watching wrestling at 2010, I gotta say this is no doubt the most shocking moment for me. I genuinely thought they might seperate but mutually, and not like that. Dope vid Pav!
Some people grew up with evolution, but I grew up with the shield. A part of me died when the shield disbanded
I was heart-broken in this moment and then in 2022 where Rollins comes out at the Royal Rumble and you see Romans head perk up and you see Rollins in his uniform and the themes playing. Pure cinema.
To be honest, not even the fact that the supposed match of Orton vs. Roman hadn't started 5 minutes before the end of the show triggered any alarms that something was going to happen, because RAW used to have overruns at that time. This was perhaps the greatest heel turn of the decade, heck, maybe of the whole 21st century. Still, I was legit heartbroken on that night and I was on my 20s by then.
One of the greatest faction of all time ended by one man Architect Seth "Freakin" Rollins in one of the swerves ever when someone in the crowd said NOOO tells you a lot
By hhh he was the mastermind and had Rollins join the authority
10:37 Seth stabbing his brothers to their backs still makes me cry to this day 😭😭😭😭
Everybody in that crowd was shocked.
pav is honestly one of the first youtubers in a WHILE that I get so excited when they upload. Your videos are always so enjoyable and make my day! Thank you pav!
i was 9 when rollins turned on the shield. i was one of the biggest wrestling fans you could’ve ever met and they were my favorite group. my eyes were glued to the television when they were on screen. it legit felt like someone died when they broke up
10:38 … it still hurts 😢
Hi nyc demon diva very sad
I was 7 years old when this happened and i legit cried so hard . i was heartbroken and i never wanted to see seth again
"Imagine being 8 or 10", I was 9 and I cried for days. I fucking loved The Shield lmao
The night that broked my heart sincerely as a child and as a grown young man it broked my heart that Dean left the WWE. The shield is one of my huge part of my childhood can't forget either of these three ❤
as a 7 year old at the time who watched wrestling with my dad every single week, this was magical to me, as a now 15 year old, it’s crazy looking back on this and feeling the same way as i did when i was younger. one of the best moments in wrestling for me ever
Se looking back 2014 was a great yeast for wrestling’s bf I used to watch it with my dad too all the time
The Shield’s breakup was an absolutely awesome and unexpected moment in WWE. Seth destroying the Shield after they had just defeated Evolution in a sweep the night before, what a moment.
It makes me wonder, what could have been next for the Shield as a unit if they didn’t break up?
I’ve been waiting for this banger thank you pav
Legendary ending to an episode of Raw, I was also in the crowd that night and nobody saw it coming. Everyone was mind blown because no one expected the shield to end anytime soon, it was truly mind blowing and kept me wondering the entire week about what’s next. From seeing the debut to seeing them disband was peak wwe to me at that time
i was 7 years old when the shield broke up. one of my favourite tag teams ever and what really got me into wwe, watching that episode broke my heart i remember watching smackdown on the tuesday after seeing countless of replays of it. couldnt believe it
I was 7 when this happened, I remember it so well. It broke my heart.
I was a happy 7 year old hanging out with my dad to watch the post payback raw and I was in love with wrestling, it was the greatest thing to come into my life. I was the biggest shield fan ever. I was excited to see the shield lay waste to the WWE like they had for almost 2 year and it was a great Monday evening. I was chillin with my pops hanging out and eating pizza and life was good. On one tv I had WWE 2k14 loaded up and the other had raw playing. My dad yelled “come on, Roman is about to wrestle” and I jumped up and ran. I ran to that tv lightning fast and watched my childhood unfold right before my very eyes. I haven’t experienced grief like this since. Truly, screw up Seth.
Been waiting for this😭🔥shield was so hard in 2013🤦🏽♂️🪐
Fax the finisher crazy🔥😂
I was 11 when they broke up, and that's when my friends and I used to believe wrestling was real, so you can imagine how hard the betrayal hit us all 😂 everybody had nothing but pure hatred for Rollins. Fun times
Pav you are the GOAT of Wrestling content. Love you bro
I saw it live in the venue when it happened. The only thing I remembered about that night was how shocked the crowd was after it ended. Me and my dad sat around for a good hour after it went off air just talking to other people in the audience about their reactions. The funniest thing is I wasn't a big fan of the shield back then, but in retrospect they're probably my favorite stable of all time. Still feels cool that I witnessed such a big moment, even if I don't remember it that well.
The shield was one of the most unique triple tag team of all time they were unpredictable, badass and just cool everytime a match is going on you knew the moment the lights turn off you'll get jumped by them without knowing and seeing Dean ambrose along with Seth and Roman do their finisher together was amazing but the moment Seth betrayed the group made each one unique on their own Roman became the big dog, Seth became part of the authority and dean moved on to a badass tommy dreamer sort of XD but in the end they were a fantastic trio
Bro thank you so much for making this vid you just made my night SHIELD
Absolutely fantastic video pav as always, And when the shield break up i was legit shocked. And you can actually hear some fan screaming "NO" before rollins actually hit them with a chair
Pav...... if I can just say one thing. Your passion for wrestling is amazing. Your videos are awesome and your editing is great but you truly love wrestling and I love that about you. Keep going GOAT 🐐
Certified banger! this was one of the most revolutionary moments in wrestling
I remember seeing it Live while doing my highschool homework, I was so shocked by the turn and the follow up run with Seth from 2015-2016 was one the best runs u could of seen for a heel turn
Back then I was ignorant to basic wrestling tropes like putting young guys over so I truly thought Evolution was gonna win cause HHH, RKO, and Batista had been top guys ever since I started watching wrestling back in 07, so when the Shield broke up I was happy but also shocked and confused, didn't realize it back then that I was watching a historical moment
My first ever live wrestling show to say I was shocked was an understatement
Seeing how far all three members have come, I think the shield was a platform for them to stand on, slowly building up and having three hall of fame worthy careers
Bro I was 8 when this happened and I remember being absolutely heartbroken. Amazing video, Pav :)
Always glad when you upload, really well made and keep up the amazing work 👍🏼
November 18th 2012 was my first day watching wrestling... almost half of my life with wrestling, all started with The Shield
I have trust issues to this very day because of what Seth did. I loved the shield and even though they got back together down the line, the day the shield died lives rent free in my head.
At that time I hated that they broke up that quick(ah good times man) but now looking back at that I can say that was a perfect call the destruction of Shield helped all these 3 guys and now they are ruling pro wrestling and I would love to see the Shield reunion once again down the road.
I screamed when I saw this on my recommended. Happy you’re covering this. SHIELD 4evaaaaaaaa ❤
Man that NOOOO kills me everytime 😔
That fan screaming "NOOOO" got me, man.
so crazy its been 10 years already damn we getting old
Considering I was a little 8 year old kid I wasn’t allowed to stay up and watch raw until the end on mondays cause I had school the next morning, but I stayed up long enough to hear about the main event. So I go to school the next day waiting to get home so I can watch raw back on the DVR w my brother who was the biggest shield guy I knew. He always loved Seth and I always loved Roman, but when I tell you the look of horror on both of our faces when we saw what happened? You would have thought someone died
Nearly cried when I saw the title for this video cause I knew I couldn’t miss a pav upload but also didn’t want to relive the horror
I can relate so fricking much to this video like i remember being 11 just watching a weekly raw episode being a wwe fan and this happened and then i go to school the next day and hear everyone talking about it that time was really insane
i’ve been waiting for this one 🔥
Been waiting for this since you announced it on twitter
Damn bro. Sick ass vid man ✊️ just jeeeez I stopped watching raw/smackdown around this era as I just focused on nothing but high school and my band at the time. But recently I've been watching retrospectives of back in the day along with recent shit too. And my goodness me just watching this now, I can already tell how shocking this was.
Great video 💯💯
Had to be the best trio in all of WWE for sure.
A nother banger, another good day 😎
Love ya videos bro
Just like that Wrestlingifs slowly becoming my favourite UA-cam channel.....
Love these kidn of vids and keep up the good work
I was 6 at the time and had just gotten into the company...had me in absolute shambles...never had I'd been so upset at wrestling up to that point...they were my boys at the time, the guys who could do no wrong, the guys that I had tune into to Raw and SmackDown to see and then that happened...from that happening to Cena Vs Brock later that year 2014 was the absolute worst year I had ever watch play out especially with the promise of great things to come at the beginning of the year.
I remember in 4th/5th grade thinking the shield was so sick. I always rooted for them, Ambrose was my favorite back then.
Super video!!!
I was absolutely stunned when Seth hit Roman and Ambrose with a chair. This was truly the end of the hounds of justice but this made Seth Rollins became The Visionary at that time.
The intro was amazing!
Yoo even when I was making it. I knew it was special. The music and everything just worked out perfectly 🙏🏼
I remember watching this on Hulu (when WWE only done 90 minute episodes) and when me, my brother, and dad watched (I don't remember there reactions but I do remember mine) my jaw was on the floor I said screamed "WHAT THE HECK!!!" At the top of my lungs. I was just shocked seeing the rest of the best down and was just standing there speechless after it ended.
The Night the Shield died is the night no one and there mom who watched it will ever forget is that legendary just like the group
I think the part that makes it such an iconic moment was the shot chosen to showcase the betrayal. There weren’t 10 camera cuts in 3 seconds. They just let that shot run, from the moment the three stood strong, to the second Dean and Roman stepped forward, finally ending with the chair shot and catching Roman falling on the bottom rope.
And of course, Dean’s face.
I was 9yrs old and the shield was my group man. Like I loved them. I was always a roman reigns guy, but I loved the whole group. The night this happened, I was so furious. I cut promos on Rollins in my mirror saying,"you'll could have run WWE together, but you betrayed them." Rollins maybe the 1st wrestler I ever hated
Watching wwe from south Africa pav keep doin yo thing
I enjoyed it, these are the moments you wait for being a WWE fan, a real bander!
Pav got an amazing community to the point I think he should make a discord account.
Anyone went back to watch the breakup just before the video ended
Pav going crazy with the uploads
The more I look back Seth Rollins doing the betrayal makes the most sense for shock value. He was the one who was the most athletic, probably most over plus he's the architect of the Sheild. Dean or Roman would've been too predictable considering they teased storyline beef between the 2. Plus Rollins has improved ever since with today arguably doing the best work of his career
I remember when I stopped watching wrestling for several years when I was 9 and I had friends talking about them now the were part of my childhood too
Had a bad day at school pav posting this made it better
Why what happened?
It’s always a great day when pav uploads
The shield was absolutely legendary. One of my favorite matches with them was the match between them and the new day. I was and still am a Kofi fan since 2010 and the new day is one of my favorite tag teams of all time. Pitting like, my 6 favorite people all together in this insane match was so epic. Probably my favorite match ever
What a vid man
I remember watching this live with my sister when we were younger and my God were we shocked...My sister is a huge Shield fan so it hurt her seeing this Raw ending
I love this video!
I miss them together I’m glad they are mega stars now. If they ever get back together they are pretty much unbeatable as the shield
