The Shield was a professional wrestling group, known as a stable, in WWE from 2012 to 2014. It consisted of Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns. The group debuted on November 18, 2012, at the Survivor Series pay-per-view. The Shield was a dominant force in six-man tag team matches with an undefeated streak lasting from December 2012 to May 2013, during which they scored a victory at WrestleMania 29 and defeated teams containing the likes of The Undertaker, Kane, Daniel Bryan, Ryback, Big Show, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Chris Jericho, and John Cena. In May 2013, all three members of The Shield won championship gold at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, with Ambrose winning the WWE United States Championship while Rollins and Reigns captured the WWE Tag Team Championship. Rollins and Reigns were tag champions until October 2013 and Ambrose was United States Champion until May 2014, which was a record reign for the WWE version of the championship. As a Shield member, Reigns gained prominence by setting and equaling elimination records at the 2013 Survivor Series and the 2014 Royal Rumble events. In 2014, the Shield gained victories over The Wyatt Family and Evolution in six-man tag matches as well as a win at WrestleMania XXX. At different points in their history, the Shield worked for CM Punk and the Authority while later going on to face their former employers in separate feuds. They have wrestled in the main event of several ''Raw'' and ''SmackDown'' television shows and headlined one pay-per-view, the 2014 Payback event, which was their final match as a trio. Rollins left the group on June 2, 2014, when he attacked Ambrose and Reigns with a steel chair and sided with the Authority. Ambrose and Reigns went on their own ways as singles wrestlers later that month, marking the end of the Shield. == Characters == From the beginning of their existence, the Shield voiced their intentions to fight what they perceived as "injustice".〔 They were also known for their black ring attire (including protective vests) with each member having their own style, their tendency to approach the ring through the live audience, and their trademark promos, which were recorded from a first-person perspective using a handheld camcorder.〔 They were a group which possessed excellent teamwork and a willingness to sacrifice themselves as an individual for the good of the team, and which achieved victories by overwhelming opponents with superior numbers after incapacitating their teammates. Nicknamed as the "Hounds of Justice",〔 the Shield referred to WWE as their "yard" during their speeches. When the Shield debuted in 2012, Dean Ambrose was cited as the "leader" of the group,〔 showing signs of leadership through his "unique promo style",〔 until mid-2013, when the characters of each member were tweaked. Reigns' character was described as being tweaked to become extremely confident and a source of leadership with "quiet strength", whilst Ambrose's character was tweaked to become more verbally arrogant. Rollins' character was also noted as an "outspoken hot-head who will do crazy things" for the Shield's cause.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_71622.shtml )〕 For their individual characters: *Dean Ambrose – played the "de facto mouthpiece" of the Shield during their speeches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/eliminationchamber/2014/shield-vs-wyatts-tale-of-the-tape-26180905/page-2 )〕 WWE also described Ambrose's character as "slightly off" and "wild".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/survivorseries/2012/dean-ambrose-seth-rollins-and-roman-reigns-who-are-they-and-why-did-they-help-punk-26069706/page-2 )〕 *Seth Rollins – was described as having a "chaotic" in-ring style.〔 In 2014, Rollins gained the labels of the "aerialist" and "architect" of the Shield.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/2014-03-24/wwe-raw-results-26214561/page-11 )〕 While out of character, Rollins explained the "architect" moniker as that he had a "cerebral approach" in coming "up with the blueprints" for their wrestling matches or storylines. *Roman Reigns – was established by WWE as the "powerhouse" and "heavy hitter" of the Shield, as well as an "exceptional athlete".〔 Reigns was noted as the least talkative of the Shield members. While out of character, the group credited WWE trainer and producer Joey Mercury as a mentor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Shield (professional wrestling)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
