The feud between The Shield and the Wyatt Family was reprised somewhat in 2015, as Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns found themselves at odds against Wyatt, Harper, and Rowan. "Anyone but you", Bray would tell Roman, and he did the unthinkable by desecrating photos of Roman's family. No Bray, not the children!

A tag match between the two sides was booked for SummerSlam last year, although the initial idea was for a six-man to take place. The Wyatts would have gone up against two-thirds of The Shield and a mystery partner, who would have turned out to be none other than the Icon himself, Sting.

A number of things transpired to stop the match however as that damn Erick Rowan got injured meaning a tag match was all that was left. This would lead to Braun Strowman making his debut after SummerSlam and the mystery partner schtick being held off until Night of Champions, where Chris Jericho would reveal himself as the third man, confirming that Ambrose and Reign are indeed stupid idiots.
