10 Useless Pieces Of Wrestling Trivia You Still NEED To Know
7. Every Shield Member Pinned One Of Their Old Friends To Win Their First World Title
As already noted in this list, there's certainly been some rather decorated and dominant factions in the land of sports entertainment over the decades. But has there ever been a unit quite as unstoppable and formidable as The Shield?
During their run under the WWE banner, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose were able to pick up numerous World titles, main event multiple PLEs, and regularly steal the show as a unit or as singles forces.
But did you know that each of the stars' first-ever World Championship victories actually came at the expense of one of their brothers?
'The Visionary' was the first of the squad to lift the big one, cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase and pinning Reigns to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31.
'The Big Dog' then finally got his hands on that strap at Survivor Series 2015, spearing a hole through Ambrose to win the title before Sheamus ruined his party with another cash-in.
Finally, the man also known as AEW's Jon Moxley turned Money in the Bank 2016 into the famous evening where every member of The Shield held the WWE Championship at one point, cashing in his MITB contract on a newly crowned Rollins as he stood over both former teammates as World champ for the very first time.
