A month later, Kane let it slip that Triple H was the mastermind behind the attack, just as Ambrose had alluded to.
** How did he get into the Money in the Bank contract match whilst feuding with the Authority? By saying he would spend the entire match making sure Seth Rollins was in no condition to win, and if he wasn't in the match... Well, he'd still do that anyway & no-one else in the match would try & stop him, since he'd be doing them a favor by removing Rollins from the match. At that point, Rollins demanded Ambrose be put in the match.

Sadly, after making it perfectly clear that the Shield were Evolution's superiors, Rollins stabbed Reigns and Ambrose in the back and would go on to claim that the brotherhood he presented the Shield as was just a lie that they believed in; to him they were nothing but business partners. However, once again the two responded only by banding closer together, and while they may have decided to split up and operate on their own, they still remain boys and are after the same targets.

* TrueCompanions: Played ''wonderfully'' straight throughout the end of 2013 and into 2014. There was so much tension between Ambrose and Reigns that just about any other team/stable in WWE history would have long since imploded on itself-- [[SubvertedTrope it seemed painfully obvious]] that WWE's creative team was setting up a team-wide split (possibly to turn Roman Reigns face and give him a push). Seth Rollins, being the [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]] [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] that he is, gave the two something to confront as one when he walked out on them, then used the situation to convince them to put aside their issues, resulting in the Shield becoming stronger than ever and making a HeelFaceTurn.\\\

* RevengeBeforeReason: Dean is not taking his "brother" Seth's betrayal well. At all. In fact, he will abandon a match in order to get his hands on Seth if the latter happens to appear at ringside. One of those times was when Dean was in match to qualify for the ladder match for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight title at Money in the Bank. Whoops. To add injury to insult, Dean was so blinded by rage that Seth was able to lead him right into [[Wrestling/TheWyattFamily Bray Wyatt's]] arms and escape without a scratch. Cue Sister Abigail to Dean as Seth watches and laughs.
* ShipTease: Since turning face, Ambrose seems to have this dynamic with Renee Young whenever she interviews them, to an even greater degree than similarly teased Reigns and Young.
** RomanceOnTheSet: Based on pictures that have shown up on the internet, Ambrose and Young may be actually dating.
* SignatureMove: He has started using what's being called a "Headlock Driver" as his singles finisher. (He gets his opponent in a side headlock, then he drops to his face, putting his opponent headfirst into the mat. Imagine a DDT, but with the guy doing it facing the other way.) This is now called "Dirty Deeds."
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: To Wrestling/RandyOrton during ''Extreme Rules 2014'':
-->"[[CatchPhrase Believe in the Shield]], bitch!"
* ToThePain: His above speech, in which he goes into gruesome detail about how he plans to beat and mutilate Rollins's face to the point of permanent disfigurement. Yikes.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He ''really'' doesn't like them. Unfortunately for him, he pissed off [[Wrestling/JakeRoberts Jake "The Snake" Roberts]] himself on an episode of Old School Raw and ended up knocked out with a snake draped on his chest. He was not very happy when he found this out after the fact, and threw a fit about it the following ''SmackDown''.
* WildCard: And how!
* YouLookFamiliar: Ambrose was well-known in the indies as Jon Moxley.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Ambrose had this sometime after the faction's debut (he was the first opponent Wrestling/TheUndertaker faced in singles competition on Smackdown since his part-timer status).
* AntiHero: Similar tactics, different targets.
* AxCrazy[=/=]{{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
** Dean Ambrose was this in the indies and FCW. It seems to have been reined in somewhat since hitting the main roster as part of the Shield, but even now he still shows signs of being off his rocker. Pay close attention to Dean's eccentric tendencies when The Shield is being interviewed (ask Wrestling/MichaelCole) or in match situations, and it is clear that he's by far the most violent, erratic member of the trio. His mannerisms only add to it- he constantly twitches, flinches and seems to talk to himself when he's not on the mic, like he's just waiting an excuse to fly off the handle and beat the hell out of someone.
** As time goes on, it has become clear that Ambrose has a thin veneer of sanity holding back a whole lotta crazy. He's licked his hand before slapping Sheamus; actually stroked Wrestling/RandyOrton (who is no stranger to AxCrazy behavior himself) on the shoulder, basically ''petting him as if he was his pet'', in a backstage vignette. He's also, on at least one occasion, ''foamed at the mouth'' during a match. And check the promo where The Shield calls out the Wyatt Family. Rollins and Reigns actually do most of the talking, mainly because Ambrose is completely flipping out in the background to the point where he can't put sentences together.
** Ambrose's examples of AxCrazy from the indies and FCW are just plain brutal- for instance, see [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b-q0cAkboc his rematch]] with Wrestling/WilliamRegal, where he beats Regal so badly that Regal's bleeding and confused, and ''the entire locker room'' has to come out and restrain him, and even then he breaks away and tries to go back for more. Within the WWE scope of affairs, this one actually warranted him being "banned" from the new NXT both in and out of kayfabe—in-universe it was due to the brutality making him unsafe for the rest of the developmental roster to work with, in reality because creative struggled to find a proper way to follow up on it with the transition to NXT. Until, of course, enter the Shield.
** After Seth Rollins turned on the group, Ambrose went into excruciating detail about how he would rearrange Seth's face (see below). After twitching the entire time he smacked the mic out of his own hand, only for Roman to give him a smile (almost in a friendly, "How the hell am I supposed to follow that?" manner), and Ambrose to gingerly bend over and hand Roman the mic.
--->'''Ambrose:''' When I get the opportunity to rearrange your face, which I will... your nose isn't gonna be over here anymore, it's gonna be over here... ''[slides finger from his own nose towards his ear]''... by your ear. I say "ear" because you're only gonna have one left. I'm gonna rip your dirty, stinkin' hair out by the roots, and I'm gonna stuff it in your mouth-- there'll be plenty of room ''where your teeth used to be.''\\
\\
Seth Rollins... ''[begins to hyperventilate and beats his own chest while smiling maniacally]''... [[SarcasmMode my brother]]... we want you to stand out here in front of the whole world, and we want them to hear Triple H's words comin' out of your mouth. We're gonna listen to every word of it, '''''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner and then we're gonna beat the hell out of you.]]''''' ''[slaps microphone out of own hands emphatically]''
