The Shield members Moxley (formerly known as Dean Ambrose), Reigns, and Rollins debuted a decade ago at the Survivor Series.
During their time together as a faction, all three members of the group held titles at the same time. However, as it stands, Reigns is the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Whereas Rollins, who is currently in a feud with Riddle, has previously held the WWE and the United States Championship at the same time.
Jon Moxley became the interim AEW World Champion at Forbidden Door
At the inaugural Forbidden Door, Jon Moxley became the interim AEW World Champion by defeating New Japan Pro Wrestling legend Hiroshi Tanahashi.
CM Punk was initially scheduled to face The Ace but Punk was out of action due to an injury, just days after he dethroned Hangman Adam Page to win the AEW World Championship.
Since becoming the interim AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley defended his title against Brody King, Rush, and Chris Jericho. However, at Quake by the Lake, Punk made his return and saved The Blackpool Combat Club from The Jericho Appreciation Society and thus set up his title unification bout against Moxley.
