Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns - Three names that have been synonymous with the WWE Main Event for almost four years now.

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently

Three men who are the flag bearers of the present generations of the superstars. Three names who became superstars on their very first night on the main roster.

Inarguably one of the best debuts for a trio of superstars in WWE, the arrival of Ambrose, Reigns and Rollins, who came to be known as The Shield, at Survivor Series 2012 as CM Punk's unofficial henchmen was nothing short of breathtaking.

Interfering during the closing moments of the match, the trio attacked Ryback, one of the challengers for the title, and hit him with a huge powerbomb through the announce table, giving CM Punk the win.

As the biggest heel team on the roster, they faced Ryback and Team Hell No in inarguably the best debut matches in the history of WWE a month later.

The next thing we know, The Trio was holding the title less than six months later and went on to have one of the most memorable breakups a little over 12 months later in June 2014.
