Roman Reigns was booed mercilessly during Survivor Series. That's nothing new for the supposed babyface, it's been a long time since Reigns heard nothing but cheers. Going back to his time in The Shield (ironically when he was heel), Roman was quite accustomed to ferocious fan support during his appearances.

Turning back the clock, Reigns was only briefly popular on the latest pay-per-view. Stopping Dean Ambrose from being ejected by security, Reigns and Seth Rollins had other things in mind. Ambrose had re-emerged after his own elimination to attack AJ Styles, meaning what happened next made sense from a storyline perspective.

Teaming up for the first time in a while, Rollins, Reigns and Ambrose reunited as The Shield for just a second. Blasting Styles with a Triple Powerbomb through one of the announce desks, they had the crowd in the palms of their hands.

As soon as Rollins and Reigns helped Ambrose out by dispatching security goons, people in attendance knew what was coming next. That anticipation resonated through the TV screen, creating one of the most thrilling moments at Survivor Series.
