00:00.
00:02.
00:06.
00:16.
00:18.
00:20.
00:22.
00:28This is a six-man tag team match, set for one fall.
00:41Currently going from West Newberry, Massachusetts, weighting 251 pounds,
00:46Sean Steen.
00:51He is the winner of this year's Royal Rumble match.
00:54He's going to WrestleMania.
00:56He's going to face the winner of tonight's Rock versus CM Punk WWE Championship match.
01:02But before all that happens, Cena's got some business to take care of tonight.
01:06Well, it's only fitting that John Cena would be the first man out here to the ring
01:09because I think if there's anyone in the entire WWE who wants this match more
01:15than John Cena, I don't know who it is.
01:17He is ready.
01:18He is the former WWE, a former world champion.
01:28The Irish born Sheamus, the Celtic Warrior, who is a former WWE, a former world champion.
01:35The Irish born Sheamus, the Celtic Warrior, who loves to fight.
01:49He's got some issues he needs to deal with the shield about as well.
01:56They're the victim of numerous assaults, but what we learned over the past couple of weeks
02:02is that this team has seen a Sheamus and Ryback to get the shield in full retreat.
02:06Well, they can, but you've got to understand these are three of the greatest superstars
02:10to ever be paired together, but the shield is a team.
02:14The other team has won a lot.
02:22So, you're a team.
02:24It's a team.
02:25So, you're a team.
02:26You're a team.
02:27Go!
02:28Go!
02:29Go!
02:30Go!
02:31Go!
02:32Go!
02:33Go!
02:34Go!
02:35Go!
02:36Go!
02:37Go!
02:38Go!
02:39Go!
02:40Go!
02:41Go!
02:42Go!
02:43Go!
02:44I don't think there's anyone around that has bigger issues with The Shield than this man.
02:50Yeah, but the question is, can three great superstars, as great as these three are,
02:55and they are great, mesh together enough to beat a cohesive team like The Shield?
03:02Many people believe that Ryback should be WWE Champion today.
03:07Shield cost him the title on a couple occasions.
03:10And Ryback's still got a major beef with Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns.
03:15And speaking of beef, that man looks like he's in a feeding mood, feeding some shield.
03:22Get ready, New Orleans, get ready for this.
03:27John Cena looking around, you gotta realize you don't ever know where these dogs,
03:32these jackals, this pack of wolves is gonna come from.
03:34You've seen him come out of the rafters.
03:41You've seen him come from under the ring.
03:44You've seen him come through the fans.
03:47And a combined weight of 770 pounds.
03:50Here they come.
03:51Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, The Shield.
03:58It is only the second time The Shield will step into the ring for
04:02an actual match here in WWE.
04:05Back in December, involved in a tables, ladders, and chairs match.
04:08Tonight, traditional- Whoa!
04:10And here we go, look out, Cena, Sheamus, Ryback going right for
04:13The Shield before they get involved in this matchup.
04:16Rollins bounced off the Spanish and our table.
04:19Ryback's got Roman Reigns, Sheamus with Ambrose, chaos, and I don't think this match has even begun.
04:24Yeah, I don't think, Michael, that you got to worry about this being a traditional six-man tag type match.
04:29I don't think anybody there cares if this match has been started.
04:33Look at Cena.
04:33Sheamus.
04:39And Ryback.
04:40Boy, there's a picture worth a thousand words.
04:43Whoa!
04:46Triple, triple verticals.
04:48The message that is being sent to The Shield is what are you gonna do when the odds are even?
05:00And now the matchup's underway.
05:02As Sheamus goes right to work on Dean Ambrose, Ambrose goes 6'4", he's 225 pounds, from Cincinnati, Ohio.
05:16Sheamus, the 270 pounder from Dublin, with a high knee lift.
05:26Come on, Dean.
05:30Ambrose's hanging on, but he's about to go out clubbering.
05:34One, two, three, four, go!
05:39And I think, wow, there goes protection.
05:43That's smart.
05:46One, two, three!
05:49It's like a Saturday night to Sheamus in Dublin.
05:52Ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten!
05:56Be it, man, bro!
06:02And look at Sheamus, he just took out Seth Rollins.
06:04Well, Sheamus, Cena, and Ryback came here tonight in a fighting mood.
06:14Big Roman Reigns staring down Sheamus.
06:20And Ambrose takes advantage of the distraction.
06:23That's what I'm talking about, the cohesion of a team.
06:26And here's the tag to the six foot three, 265-pounder from Pensacola,
06:34Florida.
06:35The size of Roman Reigns.
06:39Reigns saying that the whole roster,
06:44the whole world can't get the job against us.
06:49We're still standing that we are the solution tonight to the so-called Cena problems.
06:56Guys, I've wrestled the Freebirds.
06:58I've seen the Four Horsemen.
06:59I'm not sure this isn't the most destructive team in the history of sports
07:03entertainment.
07:04Ambrose made the tag.
07:06Rollins.
07:07Look at this.
07:08Actually, it was Rollins who made the tag as well.
07:11He is now the legal man as Sheamus kicks out.
07:14I didn't know that WWE had some problems and injustices until The Shield showed up.
07:20Shatner Hollins is six foot one, 209 pounds.
07:24He's known for his chaotic style, very calculated and frantic, according to those who know him.
07:32How many know him except these other two?
07:34Talked to him earlier today, very briefly.
07:38Why would you be hanging out with the Sheamus?
07:40Wasn't.
07:41I'm gonna do my job as you see now.
07:42Sheamus does not wanna be, and that is in the wrong corner.
07:46Dean Ambrose down.
07:48Very eccentric style of Dean Ambrose.
07:51Yeah, Sheamus I'm sure would love to fight back, but these guys, they just,
07:56it's like they smother you.
07:57You just don't get a chance to get on the offensive.
08:00Ooh, Sheamus!
08:01Except with a broke kick.
08:02Exploding out of the corner, but can he take advantage?
08:05That's it.
08:06If Sheamus can cover it, I think we got a winner.
08:08Cover or tag?
08:11Either one's gonna work.
08:13Ambrose.
08:14There it is.
08:15And here comes Cena.
08:24Whoa.
08:26Cena on a roll.
08:28You can't see me.
08:30Yes, five knuckle shuffle.
08:33John Cena, talking to Roman Reigns, trying to set him up here for the AA.
08:37The attitude adjustment.
08:38Rollins runs interference.
08:39He pays for it.
08:40Now the drop toehold.
08:41Cena going for the STF.
08:43Trying to get it in and he does have it in.
08:45Center of the ring.
08:46And there again is Dean Ambrose.
08:48They're like a swarm of hornets.
08:49He's just gotta be ready for anything.
08:52Look at this.
08:53Set Rollins to the top rope.
08:55It's like a fringe outfit.
08:56I tell you guys, these are the greatest three man team that this business has ever seen.
08:59Well, the thing is.
09:00Ever.
09:01Wait a minute.
09:02Here we go.
09:03Look at this.
09:04Roman Reigns.
09:05Shooting the half.
09:06Hooks the legs.
09:07Cena kicks out.
09:08Who in the world can you name more Destructive King?
09:09Who in the world can you name more that would stand up with these three great superstars like this?
09:12Well, they haven't even won this match yet.
09:14Yeah, I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself, John, as we take another look.
09:17They've dominated everything they've touched.
09:19Big knee to the side of John's head.
09:22Hey, they win this match, then we can talk.
09:24Roman Reigns.
09:25I don't think that's necessary.
09:26I think they've dominated the entire wrestling scene since they've been here.
09:30Focusing now on John Cena.
09:32The problem with the Shield King is just that they're frenzy, they're chaotic.
09:36Once you got one down, the other one comes at you.
09:38Like I said before, they're like a group of hornets coming at you.
09:42Yeah, what's the problem with that?
09:43That's what you do.
09:44These guys somehow have the ability to turn numbers on their side when it's three on three and it should be even.
09:51It's crazy the synergy that these guys have.
09:56Yeah, there's no doubt about that.
09:58Tremendous team, the way they look.
10:00Dean Ambrose, who said that he believes Cena, Seamus, and Ryback were three morally empty individuals.
10:08He called Cena a failure.
10:10He fails to set an example every day.
10:13Ambrose said in Cena's world, wait a minute, cover by Ambrose.
10:17And Cena, Ambrose is underneath the bottom rope.
10:20Great call by the referee.
10:22He may be the dumbest smart guy I've ever seen.
10:25That's a dumb statement.
10:26No, no, no, King, it's not a dumb statement.
10:28I disagree with that.
10:29And John Cena failed to set an example every day.
10:31No, no, no, no, King, King, I disagree with that statement 100%.
10:34The fact is not whether we believe it, the fact is they believe it.
10:38And the thing is, as Ambrose said that in Cena's world, there's no consequences.
10:42The real world isn't like that.
10:44And The Shield is going to take part in getting rid of what they call the Cena problem.
10:49And they've got right now down the ten-time WWE Champion.
10:59These guys are beyond impressive.
11:01Come on, John.
11:03He loves to talk some smack.
11:13This is now a beating.
11:15The teamwork.
11:16Phenomenal.
11:17Here's the cover.
11:18Cover by Rollins.
11:19Yeah, and again, as an opponent of The Shield, you just can't catch your breath.
11:26They keep coming at you and coming at you.
11:28They're simply a smothering style.
11:29These guys are constantly on the same page.
11:32These guys rarely ever.
11:33I haven't seen them miss a beat yet.
11:36And Rollins.
11:40Cena is in trouble.
11:41Ryback has yet to even get involved in this matchup.
11:44He's involved in that melee to start before the bell rang, but that was it.
11:48Set Rollins claims The Shield delivers their message through action.
11:56The entire world believes in what we do.
12:01Whether they believe in what we're saying, they believe in our actions.
12:05Strong words from Set Rollins.
12:08Strong and wrong.
12:10I don't care what they say.
12:12The entire world does not believe in these guys.
12:15The entire world does not back what they think about.
12:18Yeah, but that's the point, King.
12:20It's not whether you believe it.
12:21Whether the world believes it.
12:22They believe it.
12:23Hey, look at Ambrose just toying with Cena.
12:26Oh, man.
12:29It's not that.
12:30Yeah, he's seen good job.
12:31Rollins in.
12:32Set Rollins in.
12:33Move and raise.
12:35Cover.
12:36In the end.
12:37Cena made the out savings.
12:38Breaks the three count.
12:40Again, it's getting ripped the nail on the head before John.
12:50Synergy.
12:54See what these guys bring to the table.
12:57to the table it's unbelievable what a great team this year it is i disagree with her statements
13:05i never said about cedar but it doesn't matter they believe it and they believe they are meting
13:12out justice we have to finish it it was ambrose babbling on to me
13:42that's what the shield does
13:59success breeds confidence cena look at he's about an arm's length away from sheamus
14:05cena desperately needs to make a tag roman reigns
14:10his entire 265 pound frame wrestling cena back halfway across the ring
14:22this has been a perfect strategy by the shield
14:25you're right michael this has been an absolute perfect game plan they have executed it
14:32flawlessly look at that nun ambrose toying with cena call them nuts
14:38well how would you describe those on games
14:43hey guys i'm gonna give you so far so good that's all i'm gonna give you this match is a long way
14:48from being over as you said ryback has not even been a legal man in this match yet
14:54well cena's gotta make a tag john cena using all his power trying to break this grip that the shield
14:59has held on him for a number of minutes now john cena out of desperation that's all that was complete
15:05desperation by cena and that's pure strength though cena's part didn't get him hugged but got him up
15:10enough to dump him look at ryback ryback he can't wait to get in roman and roman reigns is still in
15:17between cena and help ryback is the man who said i wear a cracked and defeated shield across my body
15:26and again roman reigns explosive talk about powerhouse hook to the leg see that's a deep
15:32trouble but he stays alive your point king if they can find a way to defeat the 10-time wwe
15:37champion john cena robin may never get into this match well you're right about that if that happens
15:41you're right about what you said before about the shield that's it that's it take it down
15:50they can put down the team of john cena as they're doing right now and ryback and sheamus then they've
15:56really really done something look i don't think anybody saw this coming cover cover cover and again
16:02what's impressive here guys is that they're doing this to john cena to your point john a 10-time wwe champion
16:08they've completely neutralized cena they've taken him completely out of the game here and they're
16:13keeping him away from his partner they've managed to turn numbers in their favorites it's 303 and
16:18they've somehow managed to keep it 301 i'm telling you these guys are phenomenal you guys are really

18:18Ryback says, feed me shield.
18:20He's not full yet.
18:21And Roman Reigns glides sighting Ryback, and here comes Sheamus.
18:26Oh, God.
18:28Oh, God.
18:30Whoa.
18:32Now Sheamus in it.
18:34This battle's spinning outside the range.
18:37Meanwhile, inside is Roman Reigns.
18:40Oh, my God.
18:42Roman Reigns just speared Sheamus into the timekeeper's area.
18:49Sheamus never saw it coming.
18:51Unbelievable spear by Roman Reigns.
18:55Roman Reigns, Sheamus maybe down and out.
18:57Meanwhile, Rollins and Ryback back in the ring.
19:00There's carnage everywhere out here.
19:04Oh, man.
19:05Seth Rollins pointed midair by Ryback.
19:08Oh, my God.
19:09Incredible.
19:10Incredible.
19:11Look at Rose.
19:13Look at Rose.
19:14It's three on one again.
19:19These guys are amazing.
19:21No, no, not this.
19:24They're about to finish off Ryback.
19:26No, wait.
19:28Cena.
19:29Roman Reigns taken out by Cena.
19:32Hey, look at this.
19:37Attitude adjustment.
19:41A spear.
19:42A spear.
19:43A spear.
19:44A spear.
19:45Cover.
19:46They got it.
19:47Has done it.
19:54The shield.
19:55Fryback was going for shell shock.
19:57Roman Reigns about speared him out of the building.
20:00Which one of you two saw that coming?
20:02I'll tell you who's the most shocked person in this arena.
20:04John Cena.
20:05The shield beat the all-star team tonight.
20:16Cena wants an explanation as to what the shield did here.
20:20That's a team, guys.
20:22That's an incredible team.
20:24Watch Roman Reigns.
20:29This is absolutely fantastic.
20:32Thank God Lillian wasn't hurt over there.
20:38Our timekeeper.
20:39Watch this, watch this.
20:40Cena delivers the A-A to ambos.
20:42Ryback here is going for shell shock and out of nowhere.
20:45Roman Reigns with a spear.
20:47Seth Rollins falls into the cover as we take another look.
20:51Spear.
20:52Rollins falls into the cover.
20:54The shield pulls up a major victory on the road to WrestleMania.
20:58Well, that could not have worked out more perfectly for the shield as you said.
21:05Rollins just fell into the cover after that spear.
21:08Did anybody see that coming?
21:10Did anybody see the shield knocking off this team tonight?
21:13I think JBL did.
21:15Ryback-
21:16I thought it was a good possibility.
21:18I don't think anybody called it, Michael, to answer your question, no.
21:21But I thought it was a good possibility.
21:23I think you two both now have to agree with me.
21:26Ryback was disgusted.
21:28Ryback stormed away after being beat by the shield.
21:33beat by the shield.
21:38I think
21:48guys, keep those in mind.
21:48I break the tone of head for the champion to he's not.
21:50The songs and the stuff that they did in here,
