One of the most dominating factions in WWE's history, The Shield, reunited in 2017. They were all set to take on the team of Kane, Braun Strowman, The Miz, Sheamus, and Cesaro in a 5-on-3 TLC match.

However, a viral infection hit the RAW locker room taking out many superstars, including Roman Reigns. This mishap happened days before the event, leading to a panic situation as Roman was unable to compete at Shield's comeback match.

This led to WWE making an interesting decision, which saw Kurt Angle making his in-ring return to WWE as an honorary member of The Shield. Angle was a crucial part of the match, that saw the trio defeat their opponents after a certain Monster Among Men turned on Kane.


#3 Triple H in The Shield

Fans got to see a different side of The Game!

This incident happened days after Kurt Angle joining The Shield. During WWE's European Tour in 2017, days after the viral infection outbreak, The Shield recruited none other than the Cerebral Assassin, Triple H to become their honorary member in Glasgow, Scotland.

With a major part of the roster down with the viral, the COO took the responsibility upon himself to replace many of them in live events and matches. But his one-night stint with 'The Shield' was a memorable moment for fans.
