5 WWE Superstars who refused to put over an opponent

#3 The Shield

Speaking on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast in 2014, Dean Ambrose revealed that all three members of The Shield refused to lose a match against John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus at Elimination Chamber 2013.

Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns were still relatively new to the main roster and had quickly established themselves as one of the most dominant factions that WWE had seen in years.

The three men were unhappy with the finish to the match, which Ambrose said would have made them “just like everybody else” if they lost clean to Cena, and WWE’s decision-makers agreed to change the outcome.

In the end, Rollins picked up the win for The Shield after Reigns hit Ryback with a spear.
