WWE News: Seth Rollins revealed why he came out with the Shield dressed at Royal Rumble 2022
WWE News: Seth Rollins returned to his Shield roots to play mind games with Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble. As part of the famous three-man trio alongside Dean Ambrose, now known as Jon Moxley in AEW. The two stars have a lot of history together, and the Visionary capitalized on that at the Royal Rumble.
In an interview with Radio Row, Seth Rollins explained why he wore The Shield’s attire for his Royal Rumble match against Roman Reigns. The match was won by Rollins due to a disqualification. This was what the Visionary revealed about it:
“It was something that was on my mind. Any time you go into a story with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, you have to know the history of The Shield, you know? So it would have been an insult to our fan base not to touch that. And then the more we touched on it, the more I realized that it started to bother Roman.

There was a part of him that he hadn’t quite gotten over, you know? It was something, some unrequited regret, something there that hadn’t been there. outdone. And so, the more I messed with him, the more it became a real possibility that it was something that got into his head.
Because, look, the guy is a super athlete. He has a lot of advantages in terms of size and strength. But when it comes to the mental game of what we do, there is no one better than me. So maybe it wasn’t a last-minute decision, but it was very close to it. Luckily San Luis is close to home and had some reinforcements on the way. I already made an appearance in a match between Brock and Roman once at WrestleMania, so who’s to say I couldn’t do it again. But who knows? We are approximately seven or eight weeks from WrestleMania at the moment and, therefore, anything can happen between now and then.”
The Tribal Chief, visibly shaken when his former partner brought up his faction, was the first to step into the ring as their Universal Championship match kicked off the Rumble event.
As the Shield’s music began to play, the St. Louis fans erupted in applause, followed by the familiar sight of Rollins making his way to the ring from the top of the stands.
