What's the Story?
The Hounds of Justice will reunite one last time for this Sunday's WWE Network event, The Shield's Last Chapter and their opponents have been revealed.
Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Universal Champion Seth Rollins are advertised to face Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre in a six-man tag match.
In Case You Didn't Know...
Since the news of Ambrose's departure emerged in January, WWE decided to cash-in on The Shield's popularity by having them compete against Corbin, Lashley and McIntyre at the Fastlane pay-per-view - a month before WrestleMania 35.
The Shield defeated Corbin, Lashley and McIntyre and formally disbanded the group the next night on Raw, until WWE tweeted that The Shield would team up one more time for this Sunday's event.

WWE is the Best Value in Entertainment!
The members of The Shield debuted at the 2012 Survivor Series pay-per-view where they helped former WWE superstar CM Punk extend his WWE Championship reign to 434 days.
All three men have won several championships and accolades in WWE since then and have split their group up four times, including after the Fastlane pay-per-view in March.
What's Next?
The Shield won their first match against Corbin, Lashley, and McIntyre, so the rematch was probably announced to get some more content for the WWE Network and cash-in on The Shield's popularity one last time.
