#4 Triple H's Plan B against The Shield (WWE RAW 2/6/2014)

The Shield was at top of WWE back in 2014. After over a year of being villainous mercenaries, they were over enough to become top babyfaces. The transition was seamless and the WWE fans loved all three members. Their initial run as good guys would be a short one, but it was definitely a memorable one.

After a convincing squash victory over Kane and the New Age Outlaws at WrestleMania, the Hounds of Justice went after a reunited Evolution. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose won consecutive pay-per-view matches against their legendary opponents, with the second one being a clean sweep in an Elimination Match.

The next night on RAW, Batista quit WWE. This led to Triple H leaning towards a "Plan B" against The Shield. At the end of the night, the fans found out what that plan really was. Seth Rollins turned heel on his brothers and joined the Authority, shocking the world and breaking the hearts of fans in an instant.

It was one of the greatest heel turns in WWE history, one which came out of nowhere. This moment was brilliant and created three bonafide singles stars. A little over two years after this moment, all three members of The Shield would be WWE Champions within a five-minute span at Money in the Bank 2016.
