Seth Rollins made a surprise return to WWE on Monday Night RAW after a two-month absence. During his promo, he referred to The Shield as the greatest faction of all time. Rollins last appeared at WrestleMania XL, where he helped Cody Rhodes win the Undisputed WWE Championship in his Bloodline Rules Match against Roman Reigns.
On Night Two of WrestleMania, The Visionary interfered in the match, wearing a Shield vest and with a steel chair. During his promo on this week’s RAW, Rollins was interrupted by Damian Priest. The former is determined to regain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, which he lost to Drew McIntyre at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
The Shield made its WWE debut in 2012 and quickly rose to stardom. The trio of Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose run roughshod through the main roster, setting their sights on superstars including The Rock, The Undertaker, CM Punk, and others. In 2014, following The Shield’s second consecutive victory over Evolution, the faction disbanded when Rollins betrayed Reigns and Ambrose. This led to him aligning with The Authority and winning his first WWE Championship.
At the upcoming Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, Seth Rollins will challenge Damian Priest for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Seth Rollins’ comment about The Shield in Monday Night RAW has generated excitement among WWE fans, as it hints at a possible reunion or a storyline involving the three members of the faction.
