The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins)

While these men are three separate individuals their rookie years in WWE all linear with one another, which is why they are joined together on this list. Known as The Hounds of Justice these three became the watchful eye in WWE.

The trio quickly made an impact when they helped CM Punk retain his WWE Championship at the 2013 Survivor Series. They would then win their first match as a team defeating Team Hell No (Kane & Daniel Bryan) and Ryback in a 6 Man TLC match.

The trio would remain undefeated as a faction for nearly 10 months beating a who’s who along the way including Randy Orton, The Undertaker, John Cena, The Big Show and Sheamus just to name a few.

Along with their success as a trio, the group would also accomplish singles and tag team glory during the year. In May, Dean Ambrose would win The United States Championship while Rollins and Reigns won the Tag Gold.

Ambrose would hold The United States title for the longest amount of time since the championship has been in WWE being champ for nearly a full year, while Rollins and Reigns would the Tag Gold for around five months defeating some of the top teams at the time.

The trio would dominate the WWE during their first year in the company. Their dominance of a team would lead to the future success of all three men. Rollins, Reigns, and Ambrose have all since won the WWE Championship and their dominance together as The Shield started their WWE career on the right foot.
