With The Shield reuniting once more, I wanted to make this week's Match of the Week one that was dedicated to The Hounds of Justice. Of course, before the three became mega stars of the WWE, they had to make a name for themselves as a unit and they did so in remarkable fashion against Daniel Bryan, Kane and Ryback in an incredible TLC match. After this win, they were immediately catapulted to the top of the wrestling world and would later become the strongest faction the business has ever seen.

TLC - Team Hell No & Ryback vs. The Shield (Taken from WWE TLC 2012 Review)
For the first time
ever, it is a three vs. three TLC match with the only way to win is via
pin or submission. This is going to a ton of fun. It is also hard to
believe that this is the first match for The Shield on WWE
television/PPV, not bad. I was not expecting anything that we used to
see in TLC matches from years past, but things did get pretty damn close
to it. They exceeding the expectations of the viewers while making the
match retain the 2012 type of WWE style. This is just one of those
matches that I have no idea where to begin. A beautifully constructed
match with huge spots perfectly positioned throughout the match and
everyone came out looking better when all was said and done. Off the
bat, everyone went after each other to set the tone of the match. Lots
of trash talking and much more fighting, the type of action that needs
to be established early to let the viewers know just what exactly is
going on here. Many big spots to mention including The Shield throwing
Ryback through the Spanish announcers table again, Kane jumping off a
table set up on the top rope, Kane hitting a Chokeslam through a steel
chair, Ryback coming back from the dead to look like a beast, Kane
getting buried in all sorts of equipment after a Spear from Roman Reigns
through a barricade, and Seth Rollins getting thrown off one of the
ladders on the stage by Ryback to which Rollins landed through four
tables. The latter being the nastiest spill of them all, maybe even one
of the nastiest spills I have ever seen in pro wrestling. However, after
that happened, the other two members of The Shield put Daniel Bryan
through a table with a bomb off the top rope. Awesome match with an
awesome finish, just sucks that Bryan had to be the one to eat the pin.
The fallout should be interesting as Ryback’s beef with The Shield will
definitely continue.
Winners: The Shield
