As noted earlier, Coaster Boy Josh interviewed Roman Reigns for the “Road To WrestleMania 30 Podcast.” During the interview Reigns revealed that WWE wanted The Shield to actually debut carrying fiberglass riot shields with the word “SHIELD” written on them.

“We just pictured trying to get in the ring with these things,” Reigns said, who admitted that the idea was lame. “For years now, you go into the ring a certain way, and you’re not usually carrying a huge, plastic shield.”

Reigns said that before they went out, Vince McMahon asked them if they were “wussies” to be needing shields, and they replied no.

“Good, leave them,” Vince said.

The host also asked Reigns if he would rather win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania or end The Undertaker’s streak. Reigns replied, “retaining the title while ending the streak.” He said that even though he would like to end the streak he also doesn’t think it should ever be broken.
