Earlier this week, WWE took a look at some of the most memorable debut in the company’s history that took place in the soon-to-be-concluded decade. While the video uploaded to the company’s YouTube account makes mention of The Shield’s first main-roster appearance from seven years ago, one name was apparently edited out due to the fact he no longer works for WWE.
As recapped by WrestlingNews.co, the video uploaded on Tuesday featured the top 10 “debuts of the decade,” a list that saw The Shield take fourth place behind the first official WWE appearances of Ronda Rousey, Sting, and AJ Styles. In the segment featuring the now-disbanded stable, Shield members Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns teamed up to deliver a vicious powerbomb to Ryback on the announce table, with announcer Michael Cole shouting in the background and identifying Reigns and Rollins by name as former NXT competitors.
