In this generation, it's impossible to make a list surrounding betrayal without including one of the biggest breakups in wrestling history. June 2nd, 2014 is a day that all wrestling fans will remember since this was the day that Rollins decided that he didn't want to push for justice with The Shield anymore, deciding instead that he would look after himself and join The Authority.

It was a decision that was fruitful for Rollins w ho went on to become Mr. Money in the Bank and World Champion, whilst also being part of an incredible feud with his former friend Dean Ambrose.

Over the past four years, all three members of The Shield have gone on to become the biggest stars in WWE, which means that their split was the turning point for all of their careers, something that Triple H was once again the mastermind behind.

The Shield had only recently defeated Evolution at both Extreme Rules and Payback and were in a position where they were unbeatable, but when Batista decided to walk out of the ring and onto a movie set, Triple H needed to replace him and Rollins couldn't say no to the offer.

The chair shots to Ambrose still echo in the minds of the WWE Universe more than four years later and even though The Shield has since reformed, it could be argued that Rollins and Ambrose work much better as enemies than friends.
