5 greatest moments in WWE Extreme Rules history

#4 The Shield hold all the gold (2013)

The Shield was at it's dominant best here.

A few multi-man stables have really made a large impact in the WWE. But all of them which have, are likely to have had a moment where all members are holding championship gold.

The most iconic moment of this sort came at Armageddon 2003 when all members of Evolution won titles that night. This makes it unsurprising that The Shield also got to have their moment.

The Hounds of Justice were probably the most effective and impactful stables in WWE history. Three upstarts from NXT all became main eventers using each other's support.

They did hold all the gold at one point. It came at Extreme Rules 2013. Following a string of impressive six-man tag team victories, it was time for the Shield to take over.

They did just that. Dean Ambrose won the United States Championship from Kofi Kingston before Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins beat Team Hell No in an enjoyable Tornado tag team match to capture the Tag team titles.

The image of US champion Ambrose on the shoulders of tag champions Rollins and Reigns is excellent imagery.

This moment was a special one because these three men were one of the only bright spots during a slightly underwhelming period for WWE. This made them go to the next level in their unified quest for super-stardom in the company.

Moments like these are hugely symbolic to the dominance of a group. This was more than just that. Extreme Rules 2013 was when The Shield proved that they were here to stay.

These three were all bona fide main event stars during a period where it was difficult to make new ones. The WWE made three in one go.
