Reigns powers through Ziggler with a series of strength moves. He boosts Ziggler up to the top rope and delivers a stiff head-butt. Ambrose is tagged again against the knocked silly Ziggler. Ambrose tags in Rollins after he makes sure the show off stays down on the mat. Rollins delivers a series of boots to Ziggler and attempts a pin before taking the opportunity to showboat and tag in Reigns. The Shield continues to wear down Ziggler who manages to save himself from Ambrose by pulling down the top rope and sending the US champion to the outside. The action only continues to build in this contest when the Usos pull off a series of powerful moves on Seth Rollins, who takes two devastating bumps and later is the victim of a kick, which could be heard echoing loud. However Rollins maintains the presence of mind to stick his knees and counter the Samoan’s splash. Rollins gathers a quick pin before anyone else in the match can react.

The Shield made their presence known very early on this edition of Raw near the end of The Cutting Edge. Triple H informed returning hometown star Edge that he could hurt the ones “you love”. The Shield emerged dragging a non-responsive Christian onto the entrance ramp and leaving him there. Edge ran up the ramp and he and the Shield briefly glanced back to survey their handiwork before leaving with the COO.
Shortly after in a backstage segment the Shield would be seen in the COO’s office, ready to escort the Rated R superstar out of the building if he refused to leave.
During Dean Ambrose’s match Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins would as usual serve as the back up team. Rollins would climb up onto the apron during the early going of the match to assist Dean Ambrose in turning the tables in his favor. Later on he make a leap of faith from the ring towards Bryan on the floor. But instead Seth makes hard contact with the announce desk head first. Ambrose ultimately get’s pinned and the Shield deliver a beat-down on Bryan following the match along with Randy Orton.

Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins
All the members of the Shield greet Daniel Bryan in the ring and at first it’s unclear who Bryan will have to face. Roman Reigns steps forward as if he will be the man to take on Bryan but, Rollins quickly nails the preoccupied Bryan. Rollins gains control of Bryan and both men go tumbling to the outside. The action continues with Bryan’s signature kicks, until Rollins regains control by hip tossing Bryan over the top rope. He adds more punishment by blasting Bryan in the head and rolling him back in the ring as Reigns laughs on the sidelines. After taking even more kicks, Rollins foils Bryan’s top rope assault with an enziguri-effectively knocking Bryan to the ground. Rollins tries to capitalize further but the ref grabs him around the waist preventing him from attacking Bryan on the outside. However, the hounds of justice always have back up and with the ref’s back turned Roman Reigns delivers a devastating clothesline. When the action finally returns to the ring Rollins goes top rope but gets caught into the yes lock. When it looks as though Reigns and Ambrose will interfere Bryan attacks, before either man can get involved. Rollins makes an attempt to battle back, but ultimately receives a high knee and a loss.
Bryan celebrates on the ramp but gets nailed by Randy Orton. Despite his victory it’s clear the powers to be have a numbers game going like no other.
