The Shield stands strong against Los Matadores

 With four days until their highly-anticipated showdown with The Wyatt Family, The Shield tuned up before Elimination Chamber on WWE Main Event. The Hounds of Justice battled Los Matadores & Sin Cara. In Divas action, Cameron took on the dangerous Aksana. And Kofi Kingston not only had to worry about Curtis Axel, but also Ryback, who stalked around ringside.
The Shield def. Los Matadores & Sin Cara
One week after their thrilling bout against The Wyatt Family, Sin Cara and Los Matadores returned to WWE Main Event to take on the eerie trio’s Elimination Chamber opponents, The Shield. As the masked marvels quickly learned, The Hounds of Justice are just as ruthless as The Wyatts.
United States Champion Dean Ambrose had a little trouble in the opening moments of the bout, unable to slow down the speedy Fernando. Seth Rollins had similar issues with Diego and Sin Cara, who caught The Shield’s architect with a kick to the face that may have knocked a few teeth loose.
The Hounds of Justice finally took control of the bout when Roman Reigns entered the fray and bulldozed over Fernando with a shoulder block. Fernando got a reprieve after tagging in Sin Cara. The gold-clad luchador flew through the air with ease, sending Seth Rollins crashing into the commentary table. However, his offense was short-lived, as Ambrose hurled him back into the ring with a suplex off the ropes. Sin Cara was then introduced to the bottom of Reigns’ boots with a vicious dropkick.
Ambrose, Reigns and Rollins did an expert job of keeping Sin Cara from tagging in Los Matadores, clobbering the masked man with a flurry of fists and boots while cutting the ring in half. Despite their best efforts, the bout soon broke down into chaos. Sin Cara stunned Reigns with a tornado DDT, allowing him to finally tag in Diego, who used his high-flying skills to keep Ambrose off-balance.
With Rollins dazed on the arena floor, El Torito sprung into action, hitting a top-rope moonsault onto The Shield’s engineer. But before Sin Cara and Fernando could take flight, Reigns neutralized them both with a simultaneous Spear.
Diego was left by himself in the ring with all three Shield members. It was elementary for The Hounds of Justice, who claimed victory after Reigns hit his trademark Superman Punch and Rollins cleaned his clock with a brutal mat stomp. Though The Shield were challenged by the masked marvels on WWE Main Event, they’re in store for a different kind of war on Sunday when they stand face-to-face with The Wyatt Family.
