Shield's Greatest Moments

-
Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose, better known as The Shield dominated the WWE for the better part of 18 months between November 2012 and June 2014.  Some fans argue that they were the most successful faction since the NWO in the late 1990's so, with that being said, let's take a look back at some of our greatest memories of the devastating trio.
