The turning moment in The Shield's career came when the trio finally turned their backs on The Authority in 2014.

Tensions rose between the 'Hounds of Justice' and Corporate Kane, which eventually led to Rollins, Reigns and Ambrose defecting from the power-hungry faction. It all went down on the Raw After 'Mania when they rescued Daniel Bryan from suffering yet another beatdown at the hands of Triple H.

Let's face facts, we were already cheering The Shield as awesome heels for months before this — but this was, without a doubt, the perfect moment for WWE to pull the trigger on their face turn.
