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.  

Wrestlemania XXX Preview

This Sunday it's Wrestlemania XXX from the Superdome in New Orleans.  It'll be a massive 4 hour extravaganza (7-11pm).  Lots of matches scheduled, Hulk Hogan is your host (whatever that does), and as I am for every Mania, I'm optimistic.

What I'm Looking Forward To:

1. Daniel Bryan vs. Triple H

These two have been going back and forth forever.  It's been a long build if you will.  Should be the opening match and should be sick.  The winner will be involved later in the night against champ Randy Orton and Batista in a 3-way for the WWE Heavyweight Championship.  (This thing could turn into a Fatal-4-Way, HHH has that kind of control.)  But everything involving Bryan has been terrific, so I expect the same with these two matches.

Prediction: Daniel Bryan wins.  The YES! fans will be in full force and finally get the show ending and result they've been waiting for.  
(However I am tempted to bet (yes you can bet) on Triple H, Orton, and Batista, they are all huge under dogs and it would be a nice payout... thinking about it.)

2. Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena

Wyatt is my favorite wrestler going right now and he has a real chance to be my favorite all-time.  His promos are off the charts and now that CM Punk is out of the picture, Bray is far and away the best on the microphone.  Despite popular opinion Cena puts on some solid matches.  I'm not expecting this to be Wyatt-Bryan from the Royal Rumble, but this has the makings for Match of the Night.

Prediction: Bray Wyatt... he may get some help from Erick Rowan and Luke Harper... and perhaps a mystery partner/ new addition to the family??? (I have no clue on this, just a guess.)

3. Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar

I mean, it's the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, you're going to watch.  I'm not as in to this one as the recent Taker-Punk, Taker-HHH, Taker-Michaels, but we'll see.  And are we going to get Sting, showing up on Sunday or more likely on Monday?  That I could get excited about.

Prediction: 22-0
