The Shield had accomplished everything it could by the time the June 2014 arrived. Fresh off their second consecutive victory over Evolution, this time in a Six-Man Tag Team Elimination No Holds Barred match, their direction was uncertain.

He embraced the opportunity before him, regardless of how he got it, and never looked back. He was remorseless as he stood over the fallen bodies of his longtime comrades and looked up at his new mentor, unwavering in his acceptance of the future stardom, riches and successes that awaited him.
It was a watershed moment for Rollins and one that absolutely needed to happen for him to advance his career and achieve the greatness he always knew he could.
