The Shield to reunite after WWE legend turns heel for the first time in over a decade? Chances explored
The reunion of The Shield in WWE is something fans have long hoped to see once again. Recently, the remaining two members of The Shield, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, were incorporated into a single storyline. However, both The Visionary and The Original Tribal Chief rejected the idea of reuniting. Due to this, the OG Bloodline has CM Punk as its fifth member for Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
However, if the Best in the World turns heel for the first time in over a decade by betraying Roman Reigns, it could finally pave the way for The Shield’s reunion. CM Punk made his return during last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown alongside Paul Heyman. This sparked speculation that the Wiseman might soon turn on Roman in favor of Punk.
If Heyman betrays Reigns and sides with Punk, this would effectively make the Best in the World a villainous star. In this potential scenario, if Punk and Heyman turn against Reigns after WarGames, Seth Rollins could make a surprise appearance to save his former Shield ally.
While Rollins has openly voiced his hatred for Roman Reigns, his disdain for Punk could outweigh his reluctance to help Reigns, leading him to intervene. This development would not only solidify Roman Reigns as a babyface in WWE but also set the stage for an epic Shield reunion.
It will be interesting to see how the storyline will unfold in the upcoming weeks, as we are now just a few days away from Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
WWE could set a major Roman Reigns-Seth Rollins match post-Survivor Series: WarGames
Beyond the possibility of The Shield’s reunion, WWE will soon have the opportunity to set up a showdown between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins post-WarGames. This scenario could potentially unfold on WWE RAW’s Netflix debut, scheduled for January 6, 2025. Roman Reigns is expected to appear on the show due to his immense popularity and ability to attract viewers.
Meanwhile, The Visionary is already part of the red brand, making it a realistic possibility for Reigns and Rollins to come face-to-face during the event. In this potential scenario, Reigns could arrive on the RAW Netflix debut with his OG Bloodline.
During their special visit, Reigns might engage in a backstage segment with his former Shield ally, planting the seeds for a future clash between the two. Seth Rollins has already warned The Original Tribal Chief that he would stomp his head the next time they meet in the ring, which boosts the chances of a match between them.
Many believe that a WrestleMania showdown between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins is inevitable. This potential interaction on RAW Netflix could be the perfect setup for their highly anticipated match.
