Aces and Eights vs. The Shield
Aces and Eights: Aces and Eights debuted on Impact Wrestling on June 14, 2012 when
three members of the biker gang attacked Sting. The masked faction
would spend the next couple of months attacking various members on the
Impact roster before having their first official match at the Bound
for Glory PPV in October of the same year. Since then, Aces and Eights
have experienced moderate success. Though they won their initial match
and “Sargent of Arms” Devon has captured the TV Title, the group has
lost more matches than they’ve won. Additionally, more and more of the
bikers’ identities are being exposed as they lose the masks they hide
behind. As they stand right now, Aces and Eights lacks purpose. In
fact, they’ve recently been pictured on Impact throwing a dart at a
poster of the wrestlers to determine who their next target will be.
Perhaps they should be using their time to plan and organize rather
than drink beer and objectify women.
The Shield: The Shield debuted at the Survivor Series PPV on November 18, 2012
when they interfered in the WWE Championship match between John Cena,
Ryback, and CM Punk. Though their initial attack was unannounced and
unexplained, the group revealed the following night on Raw that their
motive is to fight injustice in the WWE. Their attacks on the faces of
the WWE roster would eventually lead to their first official match at
the TLC PPV on December 16 against Ryback and Team Hell No, which they
won. Since their debut, The Shield is rarely seen retreating from
their targets and opponents, which makes the faction look physically
and philosophically strong in their attacks.
