Recently, the WWE Universe was treated to a third Shield reunion, when Roman Reigns made an unexpectedly quick return from his Leukemia treatment.

While many wrestling critics complained that the Shield is getting stale at this point, there's no question that the fans in the Fastlane arena were thoroughly engaged with the Hounds of Justice in what might be their final match as a unit.

With Dean Ambrose planning to leave after his WWE contract expires after Wrestlemania, Roman Reigns wanted to stand together with his Shield brothers one last time. The match itself was chaotic and emotional, with lots of brawling and a broken announce table courtesy of a Shield bomb on Drew McIntyre.

Though some may have tired of their antics, clearly the majority of the WWE Universe is still smitten with the Shield--which makes their match and victory that much more bittersweet.
