The Shield had accomplished everything it could by the time the June 2014 arrived. Fresh off their second consecutive victory over Evolution, this time in a Six-Man Tag Team Elimination No Holds Barred match, their direction was uncertain.

Where, exactly, does such a dominant force go after vanquishing every major star WWE had created over the last decade?

Fans got their answer in shocking fashion as Rollins blasted Ambrose and Reigns with a chair, revealing a devious plot with Triple H for wrestling supremacy. No longer willing to stand back and be one-third of the most successful trio in WWE history, he went all-in on the idea that he could achieve greatness as The Authority's chosen one.

He embraced the opportunity before him, regardless of how he got it, and never looked back. He was remorseless as he stood over the fallen bodies of his longtime comrades and looked up at his new mentor, unwavering in his acceptance of the future stardom, riches and successes that awaited him.

It was a watershed moment for Rollins and one that absolutely needed to happen for him to advance his career and achieve the greatness he always knew he could.
