Recently, The Shield completed 11 years since their iconic debut in WWE. To celebrate the moment, USA Network posted a picture of Survivor Series 2012 of the moment where The Shield first appeared in the company. However, it made a huge blunder by not mentioning Jon Moxley, which led to the fans trolling them.

USA Network posted the picture of Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns only while ignoring Dean Ambrose, a.k.a. Jon Moxley. They didn’t acknowledge the former WWE superstar for his involvement with The Shield. It created a mess for the USA Network, which received massive criticism from the fans.
