Seth Rollins isn't sure WWE's "reunions" for The Shield were a good idea.

The Raw star took his employer to task during an interview with Bleacher Report for decisions like putting Kurt Angle in the group for one night only at TLC 2017. There, Angle teamed with Seth and Dean Ambrose in a five-on-three handicap bout vs. Braun Strowman, Kane, The Miz, Sheamus and Cesaro.

Another 'one off' took place on house shows in the UK that same year. Triple H replaced Roman Reigns in tag matches on the tour, which was admittedly very popular with fans in arenas. Rollins wasn't really a fan of either plan though, and thinks the whole thing could've been handled better overall.

The Shield split in 2014 when Seth turned on Ambrose and Roman Reigns. WWE were always going to reunite them at some stage for money-spinning marquee matches, but each subsequent reunion after the 2017 original was watered down further and further.

That didn't really sit well with Rollins at all. He called it "desperate times", and doesn't think it was "ideal" that Kurt became an honorary member.
