Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns are certainly two of the greatest champions WWE has had in the new millennium. These two legends were close friends back in the days when they were both members of The Shield, the famous faction that also included Dean Ambrose. The latter left WWE and started a new chapter in his career in All Elite Wrestling, where he found the right motivation and performs under the name Jon Moxley.
Many fans hoped that Rollins and Reigns could return to collaborate many years after the end of The Shield, but the truth is that the two champions still can't stand each other. Recently, The Usos and Sami Zayn tried to convince 'The Visionary' to join the Original Bloodline as the fifth member in the clash with the New Bloodline, which will take place at Survivor Series on November 30.
Seth will therefore be absent in the last major event of the 2024 season. Everyone knows that between Rollins and Reigns there is no longer any friendship and that the two wrestlers will hardly ever forgive each other, but fans still dream of a rapprochement between them.
This situation could have a new chapter early next year, when Roman will appear very often on Monday Night Raw due to the passage of the red show on Netflix (which will take place starting January 6, 2025).
Roman Reigns slams Seth Rollins
In a recent interview with ‘SI Media’, Reigns discussed his relationship with Seth Rollins: "Any time I have a chance to f*** him up, I’m gonna take it. He’s a constant reminder and a lesson to myself on who to trust and how to trust them, and if you can’t, how to keep them. And that’s where I like to keep him: a chair’s length away."
He also added: "Any time I have a chance to pull the trigger on him, I’m going to. I would say, based off of how it all shaped out, The Shield debuting was one of the greatest transitional situations of three young talent coming in, taking the company by the neck, and this is what you have today."
During his WWE career, Seth has won the WWE Championship twice, Universal Championship twice, and World Heavyweight Championship once, becoming the inaugural champion. He has also held the Intercontinental Championship and the United States Championship twice each.
Rollins also won the 2014 Money in the Bank ladder match, the 2015 Slammy Award for Superstar of the Year, and the 2019 Royal Rumble match. He is a nine-time Slammy Award winner. All totaled, he has won 16 championships in WWE.
WWE could try a new project with Rollins and Reigns early next year, when the two champions will be forced to share the same locker room on Monday Night Raw.
It would be a shame if two legends of their caliber could not put aside their disagreements, having passed so many years since the end of The Shield. Triple H's contribution could be fundamental and it is not excluded that the situation could radically change in the coming months.
Mark Henry on Seth’s potential role at Survivor Series
On the latest edition of ‘Busted Open Radio’, wrestling legend Mark Henry opened up on Seth’s potential role at WWE Survivor Series: "I'm just thinking that Seth Rollins interferes somehow. I just got this guttural feeling that Seth is gonna take it upon himself to say, 'No, I'm gonna inflict some pain on Punk,' and he's gonna cost the Original Bloodline.”
Henry continued: "It makes sense for him to attack Bronson Reed and he indirectly helps Punk, and he helps Roman but he says to them afterwards, 'Don't think for one second that I did what I did because I wanted to help each one of you bastards, because I wish there was a way that both of y'all could lose. But, no one does what he did to me and don't get what's coming to him and he got what's coming to him.'"
It is not excluded that WWE could give fans a huge surprise in the last of the Fab Four on the calendar. Last year, the Stamford-based company shocked the whole world with the return of CM Punk that sent fans into raptures. Punk will also be the protagonist in this edition of Survivor Series, having agreed to be part of the Original Bloodline at the request of Paul Heyman (who returned on-screen after a few months of absence).
It is not easy to organize all the details of a clash that involves so many athletes, but a genius mind like Triple H will certainly do his best not to disappoint the fans in the arena and the spectators at home.
