Seth Rollins started his main roster WWE career as a member of The Shield, with his teammates being Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. The trio were a dominant stable in the company and were a force to be reckoned with. But it had to end eventually.
Vince McMahon wanted the three members to be three separate superstars instead of just one team. So he made Seth Rollins turn heel and attack his Shield brethren.
Him turning on his brothers was a historic moment in WWE history, however Seth Rollins revealed that he was initially against it on
E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness. But he eventually went through with the plan.
“I wasn’t ready for it, for sure. Obviously, that was not the role I expected coming out of it. When they said it was gonna be me that pulled the trigger I was almost like, ‘No, I’ve been a babyface in NXT — Ambrose is the heel. It’s not the other way around.’ It didn’t make any sense. I don’t know how to do this.”
“Honestly, it took some learning for me. I had been a heel in Ring Of Honor a little bit, but it’s just a different world here, you know? It’s a different animal working with different guys and the style is different. It’s a little more cut-throat. People looking out for themselves a little bit more, people are smarter. It’s just a whole different world.”
“When we did the turn it was excellent and then it took me a little while to get in my groove. Trying to figure out, ‘Okay, who is Seth Rollins now?’ What is this character when he’s not in The Shield?
