the shield

The Shield had a great first-run with the company but their reunion in 2017 was plagued with illness, injury, and poor booking. At the same time as The Shield’s second go at things Roman Reigns was preoccupied with the Universal Title chase. Then Dean Ambrose’s injury halted any plans for the trio of WWE Superstars.

Seth Rollins recently spoke to Newsweek about the possibility of facing Roman Reigns in the ring once again. Those two made pretty great friends but even better enemies in the squared circle. But for now, it looks like they’re fighting on the same side and have totally different career goals as they are involved in two different title programs.

“I’d absolutely love to get into the ring again with Roman. Without a doubt, he’s one of the top competitors in the entire world and being in the ring with him, whenever any of the Shield guys are in the ring at the same time, there’s a special feeling involved. We’ve had some very classic matchups in the past and we’ve gone back and forth before. I think it would be a great time and I’m certainly up for the challenge and I’m certain he would be too.”

Of course, a full Shield reunion is something that Rollins is always game for. But he said that you can’t plan for that kind of thing. Although they didn’t have the best second run as a faction, at least they had a nice match against The New Day at Survivor Series

“Getting back with Dean and Roman was incredible in itself. We had the band back together and we were ready for a few months run, and then things happen. That’s just the nature of the business and life, really. You can’t plan for those things. We had that six-man tag match against The New Day at Survivor Series, which was a lot of fun. I think all three of us would like to have another opportunity to have that classic six-man, but at the end of the day it afforded us some crazy opportunities. We teamed with Kurt Angle in that wild TLC match, and then teaming with Triple H on the European tour. Who would have thought you’d see those guys in Shield gear? It’s a super interesting situation that didn’t start the way we wanted, but it ended up pretty cool and had some cool moments.”
