The Shield:

'The Hounds of Justice' are one of the most dominant, formidable stables in professional wrestling history. Within their first five years in the WWE, they have collectively held the NXT Championship, four World Tag-Team Championships, three United States Championships, three Intercontinental Championships, six World Heavyweight Championships, one Royal Rumble win, two Money in the Bank wins, and two Superstar of the Year awards.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are also Grand-Slam winners. Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose won various championships in the independent circuit before making their way to WWE.

The Undisputed Era:

Still a very new stable, The Undisputed Era consist of Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish. However, these three men are certainly no rookies when it comes to professional wrestling. Cole might be only 28 years of age, but he has already won three World Heavyweight Championships in ROH and holds the record for not only the longest reigning CZW World Junior Heavyweight Champion of all-time but also the longest reigning PWG World Champion.

Adam Cole has an extremely bright future within the WWE. Fish and O'Reilly are already the NXT Tag-Team Champions but have a storied past together throughout the independent circuit. They are in fact the only Tag-Team to have won Tag-Team Championships in ROH, NJPW and NXT. And I wouldn't be surprised if they complete that collection with WWE Tag-Team gold eventually.

The New Day:

The New Day might just be the most entertaining stable of all time. And I'm not just writing this, with hopes that The New Day might see this article and reward me with a lifetime supply of Booty O's (although if you do see this New Day, I'll have the blue box please).

Big-E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are four-time Tag Team Champions and have held the titles of the two brands for an amazing 587 combined days, since April 2015. That is impressive. In addition to their tag team success, they have also held five Intercontinental Championships, four United States Championships and one NXT World Championship.

Each member of this tantalising trio are incredibly talented athletes and are blessed with mic ability. Even though I kind of want to see them shakes their hips forever, a part of me can't wait to see them go their separate ways, hopefully involving one of the most devilish heels turns in the past decade.

If they fought:

This would be the main event and would be featured in the satanic WarGames structure. Absolute chaos would pursue, like unicorn horns, Booty O's and trombones go flying everywhere (mainly just all the props of the New Day). The athleticism of all nine men would make for an absolute feast of high flying manoeuvres, together with the right number of brawls and brutality mixed in.

As seen at Survivor Series, The Shield have the edge over the New Day. The Undisputed Era undoubtedly has a lot of gold ahead of them, but I think in this match, all they have immediately ahead of them is an ambulance ride. I see the Shield walking, or perhaps, limping out with the victory here, ending WarGames with a fist bump of congratulations.

Result: The Shield win

NXT 1 - RAW 2 - Smackdown 2
