Roman Reigns entered the WWE main roster in 2012 as a member of The Shield alongside Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Initially a group of mercenaries, The Shield dominated as a trio, creating waves with their brutal style and unmatched chemistry. When the faction disbanded in 2014, Reigns was positioned as WWE's next top babyface, a move that polarized fans.
