The Shield: How do the members align on the podium? Who really was the alpha member?

WWE has been home to many stables and it has long been a case where the company puts together superstars in order to get something meaningful. Many legends of the game have at some stage of their career been a part of a famous faction and it won't be wrong to say that many legends of the game have originated after being associated with a famous group. Men like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Randy Orton and the list goes on and on which just shows us what a significant part this concept of stables has played in the history of sports entertainment. Stables have a special place in the WWE heritage and will surely never go out of style. While there have been many successful factions, there have been numerous failed associations which have turned out to be utterly disastrous. Yes, we are not going to talk about them because let's face it–no one really remembers unsuccessful associations.Bringing our attention to the hit groups, there is one certain group that has a special place in the hearts of WWE folklore and that is the hounds of justice, The Shield! Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, together known as The Shield. This trio has gone places and literally done it all together. They've brutalised legends, they've defeated icons and most importantly, they've won over the WWE Universe.We can talk about The Shield all day long but our emphasis here is to figure the position of these three men on the podium.

These three tremendous superstars have their names embedded in the history books and it will be quite interesting to figure as to who comes out on top and is reckoned as the alpha member.Since Dean Ambrose left the company in the wake of WrestleMania 35, we will be keeping our scoring to the events happened until that point of time:Seth 'Freaking' RollinsSeth RollinsSeth Rollins has had a long journey with the company.
