#5 Post WrestleMania 30

Shield faced off against The New Age Outlaws and Kane in a squash match at WrestleMania 30. Another New Era vs. Old Era feud followed against Evolution before Seth Rollins decided to backstab his brothers.

All three superstars of the Hounds of Justice then went on to have an impressive singles run. Reigns was all of a sudden main eventing pay-per-views and challenging for the WWE championship. However, all of those matches were multi-superstar matches and not a chance for him to shine on his own.

Filler feuds against Kane and Randy Orton followed but the much rumored Triple H – Reigns match never materialized. Reigns was then taken out due to an injury and by the time he came back, the Road to WrestleMania was right in front of him.
