Four years ago, The Shield made their main roster debut and completely turned the company upside down. For weeks and months, the Hounds of Justice dominated everything that moved and conquered everything that had life.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
Since that very beginning, the talk began of what would happen if the trio were to split and go to war with one another. Well, at Battleground, we got our answer. The battle of The Shield was one for the ages. Just like three disgruntled brothers, each one knew exactly what the other was going to do, before they even made a move.

This match was exactly at the level we all should have expected. There was intense in-ring competition and compelling storytelling all throughout the match.
In the end, there was shattered bodies and a destroyed ringside set. Everything within reach was used during this match. Each of the three had their moments at one point or another, but there could only be one. When it was all said and done, the champion proved to have just a minimal amount of extra fuel left in his tank, which is ultimately, what carried him over the top.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
