HHH and Steph had scheduled the Shield in a mystery match.  Their opponents turned out to be every B and C tier heel on the roster.  I would have liked Rusev and possibly Barrett to have been kept out of this.  Rusev was also missing Lana to give him direction.  The crowd struggled to find a good chant for the Shield, attempting "Shield" and "Hounds of Justice," neither of which worked very well.  Rollins got beat down for a short while then things turned into a pier 6 brawl when Reigns hit a huge spear on Ryback outside the ring.  Ambrose hit a wacky dive on the group outside followed by Rollins taking out 10 men.  The heels overwhelmed the Shield back in the ring, leading to the return of Evolution.  Three aging superstars desperate to keep their place on top of the card forced to band together to curtail the next generation.  My favorite thing is as Evolution walks to the ring, you can see Ryback still selling the spear from Reigns, crumpled in a heap next to the barrier.
