The Shield had their last moment as a unit on Sunday night as it was one of the best wrestling moments and matches you\u2019ll see all year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is so weird to be a wrestling fan sometimes. You sit through weeks and months of trash, hoping for one transcendent moment. You wade through the muck of weekly storylines, weak execution, having your dreams of what could be crushed again and again only to get a moment like the hug at the end of The Shield vs. Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre and to be reminded why you watch. Wrestling is a strange thing to love, but it feels impossible not to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WWE is three-for-three on pay-per-views with magical moments on the year. With so much television, it is easy to forget this, but WWE has given us a near-perfectly executed work of art on every show on the Road to WrestleMania. Becky Lynch came around and winning the Royal Rumble. Kofi Kingston came within a breath of winning the WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber. The Shield fought together for one last time at WWE Fastlane. We\u2019ve gone entire years without moments this great before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thing about great moments is how much can get lost in the follow-up. WWE Fastlane showed us how possible this is. Becky Lynch may have won the Royal Rumble match, but she was puzzlingly removed from her WrestleMania main event by a puzzled geriatric old man. Kofi Kingston may have earned himself a WWE Championship singles match, but the opportunity was taken from him without a true rhyme or reason behind the decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even on this show we saw Kofi Kingston pointlessly killed and Mustafa Ali\u2019s popularity sacrificed in favor of garnering a rebellious fan reaction. We saw Becky Lynch continue to look like an underdog, but not quite a rebel, as she won the ability to be in the WrestleMania main event again with help from Ronda Rousey. Neither of these stories created a memorable (or even logical) chapter on this show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WWE might be firing on all cylinders when it comes to pay-per-view moments, but their internal logic betrays them. Vince McMahon can say or do anything and steal moments away from wrestlers and fans. If it\u2019s not leading to Vince stepping away on-air, then I can\u2019t see what portraying him as the ultimate poor decision maker does overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Dean Ambrose getting ready to leave WWE, I\u2019m thankful for the moment he had on this show. Wrestlers don\u2019t usually get to shine on the way out, but Ambrose seemed in his element once again with Reigns and Rollins by his side. He seemed to enjoy what he was doing in a way we haven\u2019t seen in years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roman Reigns returning from leukemia treatment in one last match with the men who brought him to the dance was special beyond most things we see in wrestling. Roman getting unanimously cheered and looking like he\u2019s present in his own skin and comfortable in front of the crowd is a gift. This was the best possible comeback scenario for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seth Rollins, preparing for an opportunity to slay Brock Lesnar, WWE\u2019s resident dragon, reuniting with his most notable friends and foes and bringing back some of the lightning quick offense The Shield was known for, was special.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-311037406\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was something rare for WWE: an ending. We will never get a real retirement match from The Undertaker as long as Saudi Arabia has blood money to blow. Shawn Michaels decided a perfect retirement wasn\u2019t worth ignoring a big dumb check. WWE creates stories but rarely ends them well. This is an area NXT has excelled at with wrestlers having limited runs before a call-up, but WWE\u2019s main roster is like an everlasting purgatory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WWE gave us the end of The Shield, not by embarrassing one member, not with an awkward turn, not in a match where they have 27 opponents, but by celebrating the magic The Shield brought when they began. The frenetic pace of the main event, the mannerisms of Rollins, Reigns, and Ambrose, and the straightforward way they won told us how great The Shield was, how much they have mattered to the last seven years of WWE, and how much they\u2019ll be missed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns will still be around and they\u2019ll still be very good, but without Dean Ambrose they won\u2019t be The Shield and The Shield is something special and irreplaceable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Elsewhere on the show:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The ending to Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair was obvious. Ronda Rousey had to get involved somehow and this method of making it happen was alright. Why did it happen when the match was barely going though? Why not show off how great Becky and Charlotte can be together one month before they main event the biggest show of the year? Why tell such a convoluted story going into this in the first place?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; There was a story to tell leading to Ronda vs. Becky vs. Charlotte that would have made sense and had 17 fewer illogical steps than the one WWE told. It also wouldn\u2019t have involved Vince McMahon at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Daniel Bryan continues to impress in this WWE Championship reign. It may be a little silly and involve more hemp than I ever thought I\u2019d see in a WWE ring, but Bryan is doing something remarkable. A year ago he announced his return to the ring and fans wept with joy (okay, at least I did). Now he\u2019s back, the WWE Champion, and people hate him. This performer is better than we deserve, y\u2019all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Bryan vs. Kevin Owens vs. Mustafa Ali was fun, but confusing. Ali didn\u2019t deserve being set up to fail, since he\u2019s one of Smackdown\u2019s best rising stars. By the end of the match, the fans didn\u2019t hate him, which is saying something. This could have gone very wrong and it only went a little bit off-kilter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I hope there is still a meaningful role for Kevin Owens at WrestleMania, since Kofi Kingston vs. Daniel Bryan should absolutely be a one-on-one match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Holy Beth Phoenix, y\u2019all! I\u2019ve wondered since she\u2019s been back in the fold as a commentator if WWE would include her in the ring or if she\u2019d even want that. Beth is one of those wrestler\u2019s I\u2019ve asked \u201cwhat if\u201d about for the last couple years. She would have been an even bigger star if WWE had made these gestures towards equality in her time. Beth Phoenix and Natalya in the WWE Women\u2019s Tag Team Championship scene should be great.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-3472994033\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; I loved the tag team chemistry Bayley and Sasha Banks were able to show in their match against Tamina and Nia Jax. I\u2019m already looking forward to more defenses of the Women\u2019s Tag Titles and hoping we can keep up the pace of three or more women\u2019s matches per pay-per-view.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The United States Championship four-way match on Smackdown was better than the one on Fastlane, but the work of R-Truth should not be denied. It\u2019s delightful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; There were a ton of multi-person and multi-team matches on this show, weren\u2019t there? It was like WWE Fatal Four Way from 2010 all over again\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The Revival vs. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs. Ricochet and Aleister Black was a fun sprint of a tag team match. WWE is getting it right with Black and Ricochet thus far. I want to see where they end up on the WrestleMania card this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Kofi Kingston vs. The Bar was a dumb thing to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Asuka vs. Mandy Rose was a bit of a nothing match, but I want to praise Rose\u2019s work in it. She\u2019s improving rapidly and can hold her own in the ring with Asuka now. She is adding to an already great women\u2019s roster in a major way. Remember her great performance is the Women\u2019s Tag Title Elimination Chamber as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Shane McMahon turning on The Miz was a curious development. I hope Miz can shine as a babyface during this run. I also hope Miz never tries a Frogsplash again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Elias is basically the Town Troubadour or WWE now. I don\u2019t understand why.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will Pruett writes about wrestling and popular culture at prowrestling.net.
