10 Times WWE Revived AWFUL Storylines

5. Kane Vs The Shield Members

The Fiend On Fire

Technically this covers multiple feuds. But since the original feud involved all four men, it just about qualifies.

In early 2014, the Shield had begun inching towards their first ever face turn. The driving force behind it was then Director of Operations, Corporate Kane. They clashed over the Shield’s wavering loyalty towards the dark side. Kane was convinced they would soon turn on the Authority.

It was a bit of a nothing feud, though it did culminate in that highly entertaining squash at WresleMania XXX where the Hounds of Justice demolished Kane and the New Age Outlaws.

This would not be the last of it, however. Throughout the years, Kane in his various forms would continue to feud with the Shield members, long after the latter had disbanded. He challenged Seth Rollins for his WWE World Heavyweight Championship, fought Reigns in a series of encounters following the original breakup, and had a fair few run-ins with Ambrose. Finally he engaged in one last rivalry with the whole group when joining forces with the Miz and Braun Strowman.

None of these however were anything to write home about.
