Let this one ruminate in your head for a minute: At various points during a five-minute span Sunday night, all three former members of the Shield held the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Roman Reigns lost to Seth Rollins, who in turn lost to Dean Ambrose, who cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase.

Its hard to envision a period in which all three members of any stable has won (and/or lost) the same title during a series of confrontations. They either would be unsuccessful or it just wouldnt happen this suddenly.

But in WWE, all three Shield members captured world title gold on the same night. How they will get themselves out of this predicament remains to be seen. Still, its fun to envision a triple threat match between the three men inside a steel cage.
