The Shield: A Legendary WWE Faction
Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) recently released its highly anticipated annual PWI500 list, which ranks the top 500 wrestlers of the year. Topping the list this year is none other than Seth Rollins, a member of the legendary WWE faction, The Shield.
Rollins, also known as “The Architect,” has had an incredible year in the wrestling industry. From his memorable matches to his captivating storylines, Rollins has consistently proved himself as one of the best in the business. His talent and dedication have earned him the prestigious title of being the number one wrestler in the PWI500 list.
Following closely behind Rollins are Roman Reigns and Jon Moxley. Reigns, known as “The Big Dog,” has been a dominant force in WWE for years. Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose during his time in WWE, has made a name for himself in various promotions around the world. These three superstars have not only achieved individual success but have also left an indelible mark on the industry as members of The Shield.
The Shield was formed in WWE in November 2012 and consisted of Rollins, Reigns, and Moxley. The faction quickly gained popularity due to their unique style and undeniable chemistry in the ring. They were known for their black tactical vests and their iconic fist bump before every match. The Shield’s dominance in the WWE tag team division was unparalleled, and they held multiple championships during their initial run.
However, like all great factions, The Shield eventually disbanded in 2014. This breakup allowed each member to pursue individual careers and showcase their talents on a larger scale. Rollins went on to become a multiple-time world champion, while Reigns established himself as the face of WWE. Moxley ventured outside of WWE and found success in other promotions, including AEW.
Despite their separation, The Shield had several reunions from 2017 through 2019, much to the delight of fans worldwide. These reunions served as a reminder of the impact the faction had on the wrestling industry and the enduring bond between its members.
Seth Rollins took to social media to express his gratitude for being named the top wrestler in the PWI500 list. He posted a photo of The Shield’s famous fist, symbolizing the unity and brotherhood that defined their time together.
