5 WWE finishes that Vince McMahon altered at the last minute

#2 The Shield vs. John Cena, Ryback & Sheamus (WWE Elimination Chamber 2013)

The Shield burst onto the WWE scene in November 2012 by attacking Ryback in the main event of the WWE Championship Triple Threat match – also involving CM Punk and John Cena – at Survivor Series.

Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins proved themselves to be the future of WWE in the months that followed, which included a winning streak that lasted almost half a year.

Seven weeks before their statement-making victory over The Big Show, Randy Orton and Sheamus at WWE WrestleMania 29, “The Hounds of Justice” were originally booked to lose a six-man tag team match against John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus at WWE Elimination Chamber.

Ambrose explained on Talk Is Jericho in 2014 that all three Shield members went to Vince McMahon’s office and made it clear what they thought of the plan.

“We were like, ‘But as soon as we go down to John, we’re just like everybody else, because that’s what he does to everybody else. There’ll be a time where we do that all day and that’s fine, but it is not today. Otherwise, why are we even here?’”

McMahon agreed with The Shield and booked them to win the match instead, with Rollins pinning Ryback to pick up the victory for his team.
