The Original Run (2015)[]

On the July 16th episode of Thursday Night Smackdown, Enzo Amore would snap after his match attacking Jack Swagger. Soon Tyson Kidd & Bo Dallas emerged from the crowd and joined sides with Enzo as they joined in on the beating of Jack Swagger before cutting a group promo. As their first night as a stable, Bo Dallas picked up a pinfall victory over Brad Maddox giving them their first win. On the following episode of Super Smackdown, Tyson Kidd would start of this blockbuster night by winning the WWE Hardcore Championship. As the night went on, Enzo Amore would defeat Samuel Shaw and Kevin Owens in a triple threat match for the WWE United States Championship. Post match, Brock Lesnar would debut in the group as he took out Kevin Owens. The last match of the night for the group, Tyson Kidd & Bo Dallas picked up the third victory of the night for The Power Shift over Wade Barrett & Corey Graves. The following week on Smackdown, The Power Shift members Brock Lesnar, Bo Dallas, & Tyson Kidd defeated AJ Styles, Santino Marella, & James Storm. Later on in the night, Enzo Amore would fight Briley Pierce to a double count out before the rest of The Power Shift would come out. Enzo Amore threatened Briley that The Power Shift would take his WWE Tag Team Championship before Brock Lesnar would hit him with the F5 and Tyson Kidd & Bo Dallas squatted over Pierce talking trash as Kidd held his title before laying it on him and the group exited. At the SummerSlam (2015), Tyson Kidd would lose the WWE Hardcore Championship to Jimmy Havoc in a WWE Hardcore Championship scramble match which also included stablemate Bo Dallas. Later on in the night, Enzo Amore would retain the WWE United States Championship against former partner Santino Marella who was able to take out The Power Shift's Brock Lesnar with a sledgehammer leading to him leaving the group and the WWE. On the September 17th edition of Thursday Night Smackdown, Bo Dallas & Tyson Kidd were kicked out of The Power Shift. The two were quickly replaced with new recruits Jeff Hardy & James Storm. On the October 8th edition of Smackdown, The Miz would join The Power Shift. At the Survivor Series (2015) PPV, Corey Graves defeated Enzo Amore successfully disbanding The Power Shift.

The Return (2017)[]

On the March 20th edition of Monday Night Raw, during a match between Enzo Amore and Finn Bálor. Enzo Amore would stop the match to propose the idea of joining The Power Shift to him. Finn would agree to join whenever out would come Santino Marella to try and stop this rebirth. Santino was stopped instead by Marty Scurll who would take out Marella before entering the ring and saying he wanted in the group. Later on in the night, Enzo Amore would approach the WWE Women's Champion Carmella DeCesare to convince her to join The Power Shift. Within a week, a record, Carmella would already lose her spot as she was told if she lost her title she would be removed from the group. In the following weeks, Finn Balor and Marty Scurll would both leave Enzo hanging on his calls and not associate with The Power Shift. Enzo eventually snap and announce the death of the Power Shift, once and for all.

The Final Coming (2022)[]

In 2022, Enzo Amore started managing Brock Lesnar. At SummerSlam at Sea III, Sting officially aligned with Brock and Enzo to recreate The Power Shift. On the September 5th episode of Raw, Enzo Amore approached Sasha Bank's during a interview and successfully recruited her to join The Power Shift. The following week on Raw, Enzo would make the brave decision to approach "Switchblade" Jay White and try and convince him to join The Power Shift. To Enzo's surprise, White accepted Enzo's offer and joined the group. At No Mercy (2022), Enzo Amore won the WWE Hardcore Championship for a short time. The next night on Raw, The Power Shift made the decision to kick out Jay White. It was later announced that Brock Lesnar and Sting would get a shot at the WWE Championship at Halloween Havoc (2022) in a six-man buried alive match. At Halloween Havoc, Enzo successufully recruited Tyler Bate to join The Power Shift. At Halloween Havoc, Tyler Bate defeated Jake Anderson for the WWE Hardcore Championship. On the December 19th, 2022 episode of Raw, Brock Lesnar won a King of the Mountain match to become the WWE Champion. On the March 6th episdoe of Raw, it was announced that Damian Priest and his manager, Ted DiBiase had joined The Power Shift. Not long after, Damian and Ted split ways leaving Ted DiBiase Sr out of the group. After failing to succed at WrestleMania, Enzo and The Power Shift blamed Damian Priest and turned on him and forcefully removed him from the group. In May of 2023, due to personal issues, Tyler Bate was quietly released from his WWE contract and therefore leaving The Power Shift. Right after Tyler Bate made his way out, Lacey Evans was seen talking with Enzo Amore and soon joining The Power Shift.

Change was still in the air as Sasha Banks was released from the WWE in June 2023. Sting and Enzo weren't done rebuilding and keeping The Power Shift booming. Sting recruited a new superstar and it was revealed on June 19th that Batista would be joining the group. Enzo Amore shocked the WWE Universe when he made his full-time in-ring return on the July 24th edition of Raw. The same night, Big Cass made his return to the company as The Power Shift's manager for the third time. In mid August 2023, Lacey Evans requested and recieved her release from the WWE. After saving Enzo from an attack at Halloween Havoc, Santino Marella made his shocking full-time return to the WWE joining Enzo on Raw. In a even more shocking move, Santino was introduced as the newest member of the group he had once fought to end. Courtney Rush joined the group in early 2024.
