Everybody is intimately familiar with The Shield's iconic post-victory fist bump, a gesture which has became as big a part of the group's presentation as the crowd-parting entrance and over-cautious bullet-proof vests.

After the trio's successful encounter opposite Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley at Fastlane 2019, fans in Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena were treated to a special bonus celebration: the usually private Shield Triple Hug.

Roman reveals that "when the moments are really special and really good, you'll see us hugging after" - but that usually, this is kept behind closed doors. The emotional embrace at Fastlane was apparently the first time we've seen the three lock arms on television to celebrate.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
