 What's good George boy Ross back again with another video, so we're gonna check out the night the shield died by none other than wrestling gifts Man, this was a legendary night. I remember watching this live shows about the end and then Seth Rollins pulls out the ultimate portrayal by stabbing the shield members in the back and I remember vividly There was one guy in the crowd that recognized what was about to happen If you go back and watch the clip, you'll hear that one person in the crowd say no This was such a great moment. The shield was on top. They beat evolution I want to say back to back paper views. They beat evolution twice Evolution couldn't really get the best of them. So you're wondering where they were gonna take the feud And this was probably the perfect decision them turning him turning was one of the greatest things They could have ever did it was so good. No one expected it. It was great. We're gonna check this out, man Uh, appreciate all the love and support you guys been showing on channel. Let's go down memory lane It was november 18 2012 and it was just another cold sunday night in indiana And what started off as just another pay-per-view in the wwe ended with a moment that would go on to change the future of wrestling Three men in all black popped up from the crowd during the main event And before you knew it right back was getting put through a table Everything was destroyed and these three men came off looking like the biggest savages in the company And the wrestling world was set into a frenzy His shield was born 10 years ago and this was a group that was instantly beloved You had three guys who looked like they didn't give a fuck casually weighing tactical vests black gloves cargo pants And they would go on to the ring and they did whatever the hell they wanted And what made it so cool was most of us had no idea who the hell these idiots were This was before the nxt was aired on the wwe network This was before everyone and their mom knew who were the up-and-coming stars in developmental majority of fans back in the day Just watch raw sometimes smackdown and that was it So when you suddenly turned on the program and you saw these three taken over it was a trip And yet eventually the shield was just running shit in the wwe by january They were beating up the rock but they were beating john sena on paper view and as soon as the shield made their debut Everyone knew that this was something special Everyone knew that this wasn't just going to be another young group that tweaks for a little bit and then comes and goes and is forgotten This was different. These were three guys that the wwe actually believed in these were three guys that the wwe saw as their future This was the wwe's attempt to make up for the lost generation from 2006 until 2012 the wwe struggled to create a new generation of Legit main eventers and even though in the long run something did work out from 06 until 2012 It literally looked like they forgot how to make legit main eventers the future of the wwe post john sena looks So bleak, but then this shield was in the cut and it was a scary sight Seth Rollins roman Reigns and dean ambrose became the next generations These were the pieces of the future and they walked into wrestling at 29 and they looked like they belong And as the ones went by they just became better and better and every time they went into the ring They were going to put on a banger match and their crowd was going to be invested And the most important thing was during this time so many kids who started watching wrestling in 2008 and 2009 They were getting older. So to them they thought these guys were so cool to a generation of wrestling fans These were their guys. These were their any heroes and savages. These were their favorites. So to the younger This was one of those scenes where It was lightning in the bottle They all three of them became world champions That's a rarity in a group But all three of them became world champions. You got one It's pretty much the top guy in a whole another company. You got seff rollins doing some of his best work Right now on monday night raw and just within the past year year and a half and you got roman reigns who was arguably You know on top of the wrestling world, bro All three of them Respectively have brought something to the table and it's just cool to see how they all started out together in the shield and and How things changed demographic They were all in on the shield like yo for the guys born in 040506 like these were their homies And then for people my age we were teenagers were entering high school Of course, we love this and then for the older fans. Yo, they loved it just as much For them they saw seff rollins as tyler black way back in roh They saw dean as john moxley and cz w just casually dying back in the day They never would have thought that the people they saw wrestling on a 240p youtube video back in 2006 some random idiots wrestling This for in the wwe But they did it was literally the perfect storm and by the end of 2013 after us titles and tag titles amazing matches and everything The shield had lived up to all the hype and all the expectations They had been a group on the main roster for 14 months And they did better than anyone would have ever imagined and as 2014 was coming closer and closer speculation of the shield dying That came as well after 14 months of dominating on the main roster Of course just like every other group just like every other team the whole question came up Is it time for them to break up? Is it time for someone to turn heel? Is it time for the shield to finally die because yo they won championships They did their thing, you know, maybe it's time for them to go their own separate way So yeah after 14 months as 2014 was almost here and many started believing that it was finally time But in 2014 They were actually about to reach even higher heights 2014 came and this was a year that every single person watching wwe no matter the age No matter where they were from no matter what every single person eventually became a fan of the shield These guys were solely the shield was so elite that they made every single fan into believers Even though they spent a year beefing John Cena and CM punk being the hitman for the authority It reached their point in january of 2014 where everyone's like, all right I guess i'm a fan and in every single month of 2014 the shield just got hotter and hotter January had the royal rumble where the shield all went in and they put in work and they were the Highlights of the match and once the fans realized that daniel brine wasn't in the match They cheered for roman reigns like he was prime so close to you and that's crazy. That was one of the first times Like they actually well no, they were cheering for them all but The praise he got there Because daniel brine wasn't in the royal rumble Vince already was Already got excited. Oh, yes. Oh, I like this this this roman guy He's part of the Samoan family and the people love him. Oh, you already knew Once this happened. Oh, you knew date. You knew it You knew vince was gonna strap a rocket ship and take him to the moon Only problem is it didn't really work out like you probably expected it to but I do remember him being very over In this situation here Boston in there, but that was just the beginning february the shield versus the whites one of the best Matches I've ever seen so good. The shield was up against another trio that was taking over and an elimination Oh my god, this is so good. This was so good and put on a goat performance Their crowd was tweaking the rest was doing some of the craziest things I've ever seen this was so good That's so fire and even though the shield lost this match They still look like a million bucks and got even more fantastic match And then it marched the shield after being in the company for 15 months They finally turned face the shield reached the peak of being in here where they were so cool They were so badass as heels that the fans had no choice but to love them and finally in march They turned on the authority when they disobeyed corporate cane and rebelled and officially became faces And in april the shield walks into a wrestle many 30 as faces The crowd was in the palm of their hand and in just in two minutes and 50 seconds care business in their match They stand tall as they're surrounded by 75,000 wrestling fans going absolutely crazy for them Then came may and the shield after mania got into their biggest feud their most high feud and their best feud Triple H, Randy Orton, but tista evolution was back and they were gonna play against the shield ever extreme rules Such a good match to the future. Oh, this is so good future legends and at extreme rules 2014 Even though blue tista was in full effect. It didn't matter The shield put on a performance of a lifetime and in a certified classic with the entire wrestling world behind them They'd be evolution 17 months into their run. The shield was on top of the world 17 months into their run. They were hotter than ever. They were better than ever more merge was moving every week There were more sides by fads in the crowd every single week the fans were louder And in a wrestling world where CM Punk had left the company and Daniel Bryan had to step away from surgery The shield became no doubt the hottest act in the WWE the company finally did something something they had been waiting for for almost a decade They finally elevated some wrestlers to the point where they would be top stars They finally made up for the lost generation and they had three certified main inventors So then on june 1st It was wwe payback and was the rematch with the shield and evolution and of course they put on another banger Such a good match swept evolution by eliminating them all One by one. The shield had destroyed evolution. They were now the top dogs in the company They were hotter than ever They were more popular than ever and after everything they have done They were finally on top of the world every time they came out. This was such a good setup because no one saw this coming They beat them back to back pay for views took them out You know now you're like, all right. What are you? What are they gonna do now? No one saw This coming bro Just no one saw the turn coming out the internet was at least I didn't see it They were every time they came out their crowds were going crazy for them And they reached the point where people were talking about how they never want the shield to break up How this was the perfect group how this could be this generations of the four horsemen And it was so refreshing in a time where everyone wanted every single group or every single tag team to break up It wasn't like that for the shield They became so elite in 2014 that everyone just forgot about what they were talking about in december and january Because now by june of 2014 they were up there, right? They were the most popular faces in the company after john sena They had reached the top and they became more popular than anyone could have ever imagined in 2012 Everything was perfect. I mean, yo in may of 2014 you had sath ron's in an interview talking about how There's a lot of life left in the shield and of course they made sense They had just turned face and everything was better than ever even jim ross was like, yeah Let's wait a year before we talk about breaking them up There was no doubt that the shield was at their absolute peak and after sweeping evolution in that match at payback Every single fan was anticipating to see what was going to be the shield next chapter Oh boy, this is so good, bro. This was good This was so fucking good. I never saw this coming, bro It was june 2nd 2014 and it was a warm summer night in indiana Live from the gainbridge field house the very same arena the shield made their debut in 18 months ago It was monday night raw leading up to the show There was not much news on what was actually gonna go down the preview on wwe.com was basic as usual On other sites it was reported that this would be batista's last night in the company on his current run Other articles with potential spoilers and previews were like, yeah, the shield is likely in the market for a new prayer as well Let's see what they do. Let's see what happens. It was supposed to be just another episode of raw Raw begins and the first thing that happens is batista waves goodbye to the wwe and makes his exit Leaving triple h and randy or an all alone and they don't want to end their beef for the shield just yet And triple h says he would not stop until the shield is dead But the show goes on like every other raw from 2014. We got some stephanie promos in there We had bad news barrett It was the usual and as the night went on we didn't see the shield or anything But we did find out that the main event of the show was going to be randy oran versus roman reins So the show continues and then it was finally time with only 11 minutes left in the show It was 10 49 p.m Eastern The shield finally came out from the crowd the fans were going nuts roman reins gets his introduction for the match It was monday night raw. It was live from indiana. It was the main event It was going to be randy oran versus roman reins the shield gets into the ring and everyone is chilling everyone is calm Dean ambrose gets the mic and cuts a promo even rollins says some words and then roman reins drops this line The men standing in this ring our brothers At this point there was six minutes left in this show and we knew that we weren't gonna get a match Maybe we'll get a brawler something. Yeah, some young talent might join randy and triple h Who knows right? Whatever. It's just another raw episode, right? So triple h comes out with randy oran and his good old fashioned sledgehammer Seth sees that and instantly goes out of the ring gets some chairs And he's ready for a beef and of course the shield is ready for beef So triple h and randy are outside the ring the shield is inside the ring They're standing side by side just like how they have been for the past 18 months This is so good triple h gets the mic and says Last night was plan a tonight is plan b There's always a plan b and ladies and gentlemen, it was as if time stood still and all you hear is I told you all you hear is no He oh I was with him. I was like wait. No, don't do it That no will always be remembered for this segment right here. That is a legendary Scream of no As the fans scream for his life, Seth Rollins hit Roman Reigns in the back with a chair Dean Ambrose looks like he adjusting to ghost and Rollins looking like a stone cold killer This was absolutely mental on his former brothers He proceeds to beat this shit out of Dean and Roman so hard that the chair bent And it was one of the most shocking one of the most out of left field things in wwe history Nobody saw this coming nobody was hoping for it. Nobody wanted this for once there was 18 That the fans didn't want to see implode the shield was at their peak the night before they had just be three legends They were at their best They were at this hottest and just when you thought things were only gonna get better Seth Rollins turned on them Seth Rollins the last person anyone expected and that's what made this moment even crazier Everyone thought when the shield was finally gonna end when someone was filing an attempt That's probably gonna be Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose. The time was right It was gonna be one of them. Dean was the crazy one Roman Reigns is a chosen one, right? It has to be one of them, but not their crowd. It was silent. They were in shock They were shook. There was no cheers. There were no booze. They just couldn't comprehend what the hell just happened Meanwhile, Rollins was in the ring just going off until the chair was broken after 18 months alongside these men He allied himself with triple h and randy oren and on god This was a top five most shocking and in raw history facts. Yo, this was just a special moment This was one of those things that you never saw coming and the second you did the second you realized What was about to happen? It was too late and your heart dropped the moment when everyone walks up Roman and Dean and Seth stands there in the back. It's like, oh no Legit one of the most brilliant things that wwe had ever done. Nobody expected it When everybody got the shoot was just getting started and they were going to keep getting better and better They ended it and it is so hard to describe how shook the wrestling world truly was I'll never forget seeing twitter blow up even facebook was popping back then Even when school was crazy. I remember people coming to me who casually watched wrestling You know, they were hardcore fans back in the day, but they kind of stopped now Even they were coming up to me like, yo, what happened last night? Why do you do it? Who what where what? Everyone was tripping dear diary wrestling was sad tonight Rollins just broke my heart. Honestly, I was expecting anyone for Rollins to turn on the shield I am legitimately dismayed. It's like someone has died. Rest in peace the shield This I want to go back to payback season where everything was predictable and My heart wasn't broken Holy hell did that really just happen. That was an amazing turn of events props to the wwe for pulling some people Yo, imagine being like eight or ten years old and you were watching raw and these were your favorite wrestlers Like you grew up and even though guys like sena and stuff drew you into the company These three became your guys, right? These became your favorites This was your group and these were the guys that made you fall in love with wrestling And on a random monday night without any signs without any warning Just when you thought everything was perfect This happened even for me at 15 years old. This hurt me. This had me feeling some type of way You saw them grow you saw them develop into these Yeah, this was such a good moment Such a good moment Believe in them believe in the shield and after 18 months 18 months of them doing their thing It was the end on a night that was supposed to be just another raw It was supposed to be the night with the shield went into their next chapter But it ended up being the night the shield died What a moment and what a time to be alive and the craziest part about this night was the shield themselves Roman Reigns Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. They didn't know it was ending until they walked into that arena that very night Oh, wow What a moment man. What a moment in the comments down below. Let me know your memories of that very that's man, bro This was a another good video about wrestling gifts, man Duh this that moment Will always be a moment. I can be like, yo, I remember sitting there just in complete Shock, I could not believe what I had just saw I I literally was shocked. I was like They actually split them up After them being on this high they Ended it just like that man. This was great. This was a a moment where you know Like I can't even put it in the words Like if you just watch the shield from the beginning and how they grew As a group and how people begin to really care and want to see more of them to how it ended You would just it was it was crazy. You didn't think it was gonna happen at least that soon or at all You know or even you didn't think it was gonna be Seth But this was such a monumental moment For wwe bra, man. So comment down below Let me know What was your thoughts like when it initially happened when you shocked? Could you not believe what was what was happening in front of you like where you're sad Was where you just hurt and distraught because I know for myself. I was definitely I was like, oh my god This is I don't know why this hit me a little bit But it made me tune in even more to monday night raw and Seth Rollins went on arguably one of his greater runs in his career But I appreciate y'all kicking it with me. See y'all in the next one. Peace
