When The Shield reunited, they quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, but The Shield has disbanded once again now that Dean Ambrose has turned heel and Roman Reigns is taking time off due to his battle with leukemia.
Seth Rollins shared his thoughts on Roman’s diagnosis during an interview with Al Arabiya English and he said that he thinks Roman is in a good place right now mentally and physically.
“It threw everything up in the air. It’s hard to go a day without thinking about him and how he’s doing and hoping he’s doing alright. I’m fighting the urge to check in on him like a brother every two hours, but he’s a strong dude, and I know that he’s in a good place mentally as well as physically. He’s in good health for the most part. I think he’s going to be able to fight this thing pretty strong. We’re just getting through it while we can. Obviously it’s going to be easier as time goes on, but certainly the last couple weeks have been, and last week especially, have been a rollercoaster of emotions. Lots of ups and downs.”
Seth Rollins is the current Intercontinental Champion, but he’s also a former NXT Champion as well.
When asked which NXT talents he thinks could be big stars in WWE someday, he praised a few names from the roster.
“There’s a ton of guys down there with absolutely incredible potential. Shayna Baszler is one of those people who I never got a chance to watch that much, but I saw her on the NXT show last Sunday and I was blown away. I think she’s fantastic. I think Velveteen Dream is really good—he’s got something wacky about him. I’ve always been a fan of Ricochet. I’ve known him since he was a 17-year-old kid from Paducah, Kentucky. I’ve always thought the world of him and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does in the future. The whole Undisputed Era, I think those guys are fantastic. I think there’s a lot of talent down in NXT that has the chance to make waves when they move up to the main roster.”
