The Shield, Fandango, and NXT Diva Summer Rae who was Fandango’s dance partner on RAW pulled double duty that night as they all performed in Cardiff earlier that evening.

Cardiff is around 150 miles away from London so the arrival in helicopter was not just for show, but the actual mode of transportation that the five took to make it in time.

Both Fandango and Summer Rae were in the same copter but were not visible on camera to give the effect that The Shield was arriving in style.

In Cardiff during the non-televised event, The Shield opened the show and lost to Sheamus and the New Age Outlaws, while Fandango defeated Ted DiBiase in the second match before bolting out of Wales.

The fourth match announced for WrestleMania was made official yesterday during the episode of Smackdown.

A six man tag team match will be featured on the show with the team of The Shield – Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins – taking on Ryback, Randy Orton, and Sheamus.

A Mark Henry vs Ryback match is rumored for WrestleMania as well which might see Ryback pulled out from the six man tag match and being replaced by The Big Show for the one-on-one encounter.

The other matches so far official are The Rock vs John Cena, Undertaker vs CM Punk, and Alberto Del Rio vs Jack Swagger. Brock Lesnar vs Triple H is set to be announced on TV on Monday.

Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins are now collectively known as The Shield. That name was rumored to be used last week although it wasn’t confirmed at the time.

The three NXT up-and-coming Superstars had their first interview on RAW yesterday with Michael Cole where they revealed that they are not working for CM Punk, but rather shielding the right from wrong.

Dressed up as an Attitude Era Big Boss Man, the trio eventually attacked Kane at the end of the show, then got beat up by Ryback before CM Punk “rescued” them. The Shield then resumed their attack on Ryback to close the show.
