10 Best WWE Storylines Of The Last 5 Years
2. The Shield Get Revenge Against Evolution
From the moment they debuted, the trio of Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns rarely failed to entertain. During the roughly two-year run of The Shield, they would engage in some of the most compelling angles WWE ever produced. So which was the best? Their feud against the Wyatt Family? Their undefeated streak? That series of title matches against the Rhodes brothers?
No, that honor have to go to their path of vengeance against Evolution. While fans had been rooting for The Shield for some time, WWE had kept them in the heel/tweener roles for most of their run. That all changed when Triple H used The Authority and the recently reformed Evolution to try to take out The Shield. While Triple H and crew targeting young superstars as their victims usually works out in their favor, this time they clearly picked the wrong target as The Shield quickly turned into the hunters. Their destruction of Evolution was so complete that it would take Triple H luring Seth Rollins to the dark side to stop The Shield .
Besides the quality of the matches, what made this rivalry so great is how dominant The Shield got to be against a group of wrestlers that aren't prone to losing. This was the story that showcased the group at their best and the one that directly led to turning each of these men into bonafide singles superstars.
