With the presumed climax of the Bloodline storyline at WrestleMania potentially involving Cody and Seth rallying their allies to fight Roman Reigns and company, it's got me thinking of other times where a heel faction got what they deserved and we saw a group of faces fighting back against them.
My favorite has to be the time when Evolution was surrounded by the RAW face locker room and they just kicked Evolution's ass in one of the better moments for RAW in 2004.

I LOVED that moment with Evolution. It actually showed the faces acting smart and having backbone. Too bad we can’t get that with Evolution.

It feels disappointingly rare.

The main event of Backlash 2000 when in quick succession Austin returns and lays out the McMahon/Helmsley faction, Linda returns with fired Earl Hebner, shoves Stephanie down, and Rock finishes off Triple H to win the title. Just six months of just due all coming to a head in like 5 minutes. It was amazing to watch live and is still one of my favorite moments of the Attitude Era.

The Shield once had to contend with 11 of the most popular babyfaces on Raw in an elimination handicap match while they were in the employ of The Authority. And while it was a losing effort, they did manage to reduce the babyface's numbers to 4.

The Rock going on a one man mission to destroy DX and The McMahons the night after Judgment Day 2000.
A major contrast to faces just accepting that they were screwed over by The Bloodline these days.

Does Bryan at WM30 count? It wasn't like a massive beatdown but he took down every major member of the Authority.

Goldberg beating Hogan.
Also, Lex beating Hogan.
They ruined both rapidly but, even so.

I’d have to argue for the previous week when the WWE locker room r pried out to support Daniel Bryan against the shield. After weeks of raw ending with Bryan laid out, it was a great moment.
There was also a nitro were the entire WCW locker room hit the ring and actually turned the numbers game against the NWO.

Goldberg beating Hogan. Also, Lex beating Hogan. They ruined both rapidly but, even so. Add Goldberg beating Brock at Survivor Series 2016. Brock had been on a 2 year run of destroying everyone in sight and then gets emasculated by Goldberg on his first match back. Very surprising booking at the time given how Brock looked unstoppable since Wrestlemania 30. Another good example of comeuppance is The Shield destroying Evolution in back to back PPVs. No one else had gotten anything on Evolution in their heyday and The Shield destroyed them and never lost a match to them. Which made Rollins Heel turn illogical to me. Though as an adult 10 years later and knowing how people can be when they are looking to build their own success, it makes more sense now. Add the Shield squashing the New Age Outlaws too. Billy and Road Dogg came back to be flunkies for The Authority, politicked their way to the Tag belts and at Wrestlemania get their ass beat by the Shield for it.

Immediately after the Higher Power was revealed to be Vince, it was announced that Austin was the new CEO. He then booked a bunch of matches that greatly put the Corporate Ministry at a huge disadvantage.

Yeah, somewhere behind the meme, we forgot the part where the rest of that segment is just Vince getting handed his own ass for his insolence.

The Dangerous Alliance have Bern running wild on WCW, won 3 titles(US, Tag & Word TV) and being Dicks. Then came War Games. Sting leading his Squadron to beat ass and man, did they.

Sting beating Hogan at Starrcade 1997.
That was the closest it got to WCW ending the nWo.
Looking back man, I wish the entire WCW locker room came out and beat the shit out of all the nWo members before Sting makes Hogan tap out by Bret counting.
