#2 Evolution
By April 2014, The Shield were running out of opponents to face. They took on the team of Kane, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn at WrestleMania XXX, defeating them in convincing fashion, and needed fresh challengers.

Of course, we’re talking about Evolution. The two teams went to war on back-to-back PPVs in 2014 — first in a six-man tag match at Extreme Rules and then in a No Holds Barred elimination match at Payback — with The Shield winning on both occasions.
The night after Payback, a sledgehammer-carrying Triple H ominously warned: “What I do better than anybody is adapt. Last night was Plan A. Tonight is Plan B. There’s always a Plan B.”
Cue one of the most unexpected heel turns in WWE history.
