Seth Rollins Turns on The Shield



Junes 2, 2014 on Monday Night Raw... Seth Rollins turned his back on Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose... The Shield.  After beating the pants off Evolution the night before at Payback, Batista quit, but then bam!  Rollins joins Triple H and Randy Orton.

Did not see that coming.  But worse than that, it shouldn't have happened.  No need.

The Shield was not going to last forever.  They all should move on to great individual careers at some point.  But they couldn't have done that together or continued their faction for a little longer?  Yes they could have.  They didn't need to only have 6-man tag matches.  Push them all for individual belts, but they all help each other retain, why not?

Rollins is bad-ass.  Reminds me of a Hardy Boy meets CM Punk.  Not bad.  I still think all three will be good, but there was still more to be had here.  Either the individual careers while staying together or a long program vs. the Wyatt Family (I know they fought before).

If this is just an idea to keep Triple H and Randy Orton at the top of the card, then it stinks.  If they really showcase Rollins and give him a big push while also pushing Ambrose and Reigns, then ok, we'll see.

Why do this on a boring edition of Monday Night Raw?  I know it was after a PPV, but it seemed lack luster.  A faction of this magnitude should have split at SummerSlam at a minimum.

Some surprises are great in wrestling, but I'm not sold on this one.  Couple questions...
  • Do Ambrose & Reigns stay together?
  • Do Ambrose & Reigns add a 3rd guy?  Maybe a 3rd and 4th (Usos?)
  • How long does this "new" Evolution stay together?
  • CM Punk coming back or what?
  • Is Randy Orton going to be in a lot more main events? Bo-ring.
So we'll see how this all shakes out.  I'm going on record that I'm not a fan, but I'll be watching and hopefully proved wrong.
