Seth Rollins wouldn't change anything about the breakup of The Shield.
The Shield is one of the most successful stables in WWE history, as it established Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose as some of the brightest stars in wrestling. Rollins turned on the group in 2014, ending its initial run. The stable then reunited a few times over the years. Meanwhile, all three men have become world champions. At times, they have been the face of their respective companies. Rollins and Reigns remain with WWE, while Moxley signed with AEW in 2019.
During an appearance on SportsCenter, Rollins was asked whether he had thought about the paths that were paved with the breakup of The Shield.
“Yeah, I have. I’ve been asked about it a lot. Obviously, I think that’s the one thing that if you’re a fan of Seth Rollins or The Shield or Jon Moxley, Roman Reigns, I think that’s the one thing that kind of sits with you over the course of the last ten years, essentially. I get asked about it all the time, and I’ve thought about it. ‘Would you go back? Would you change it? Would you do something different?’ My answer is unequivocally no, I wouldn’t because where we’re at now, the business as a whole is healthier than it’s ever been. That moment in time is what shifted everything. That’s what put us all on our separate paths. Our goal in the beginning was to run the show, to run the business, to change it, to make it better. Here we are a decade later, and I dare say it was accomplished with the swing of that steel chair," Rollins said.
