10 Shocking WWE SmackDown Moments You Never Saw Coming

9. The Shield Attacks The Undertaker (2013)

Making their stunning debut at the Survivor Series in 2012, The Shield rapidly rose to become one of the hottest acts on wrestling TV. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose were a shot in the arm that the WWE product badly needed, and fans responded in kind by reacting like something big was going to happen anytime they appeared. It was hard not to, especially when they attacked major names. Following his WrestleMania XXIX victory over CM Punk, The Undertaker was looking for his next challenge. Sticking around for a while on TV, 'The Deadman' faced Dean Ambrose in a special one-on-one match during one episode of Smackdown in April, 2013. Winning by submission, it seemed like Undertaker was being groomed for a program opposite someone else, until The Shield hit the ring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqdDQTqmqTQ The resultant sequence remains one of the absolute best moments in recent Smackdown history. Triple-teaming The Undertaker, Rollins, Ambrose and Reigns battered him on the outside of the ring. From there, they hoisted the legend up and hit him with a vicious Powerbomb through the announce desk. This was a statement of intent from the WWE creative team that all members of The Shield were to be taken seriously.
