WWE Raw: 10 Things You May Have Missed (Dec 5)
9. Seth Rollins Taking Credit For The Shield
Coming out first on Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins was there to address none other than Triple H. WWE decided to put issues between 'The Game' and Rollins on the shelf for the time being, likely because that match is a shoe-in for WrestleMania 33. On Raw, Seth wanted to discuss it.
In the process, 'The Architect' also said something pretty interesting. These days, Rollins is undeniably a babyface. Crucially, he hasn't lost much of the swaggering arrogance he held as a heel, something that has enabled him to remain popular with fans. That ego came to the fore during his promo.
Rollins chose his words very carefully, saying he was the one to put together The Shield many years ago. Then, he said he was also the one who elected to split the group, going into business for himself and joining forces with The Authority.
It's interesting to hear a babyface talk with such a selfish tone in WWE nowadays. This was a stark contrast to someone like Roman Reigns, who would normally put others before himself.
