Seth Rollins just explained why a Shield reunion will never happen, so we’ll take a look
at what he had to say.
We’ll take a look at the big news with Triple H, Mandy Rose, and much more
Let’s start things off with the big news for Triple H and the future of WWE
WWE released an official statement introducing their new co-CEOs of Stephanie McMahon and
Nick Khan
WWE also provided some news about who will take over Vince McMahon’s position as head
of WWE creative
They confirmed that Triple H will now lead WWE creative on top of continuing all of his
prior duties in the company
Hearing that Triple H will be in full control of all things WWE creative was something that
really has fans excited
Everyone saw what Triple H created when he was given a bit of power with NXT over the
years and that gave everyone a great sample size of what a Triple H led show would look
like
And as soon as Triple H took a break from NXT and Vince McMahon took the show over,
some fans claim that there was a big change in the show’s quality
So now Triple H is in full control and has Vince’s old role of having the final say
about anything the writers and creative team comes up with
Like Karrion Kross was just talking about a few weeks ago, he said that the writers
aren’t the problem and how they actually have a lot of good ideas
The problem was that we never got to see some of those great ideas from the writers because
Vince McMahon vetoed those ideas and no one could fight him on that since he had final
say after all
Well now the final say will lie in Triple H’s lap.
He’ll have all the power on if ideas will make it on WWE television or turn it down
if he doesn’t like it
So it’s probably not gonna be this massive overnight change that you notice right away,
it’s probably gonna be a little bit of a transition period for Triple H to slowly morph
the product into his own vision
But it is exciting to know that change is in the air and they’ll be a new lead in
the creative room
Maybe seeing Triple H leading the team will inspire the writers and spark some new life
into them
WWE did provide a small update on the Vince McMahon investigation as well
WWE says that Vince McMahon did in fact pay out 14.6 million dollars in unreported expenses
since 2006
WWE noted that the investigation on if this unreported money was given to former female
employees who had personal relationships with Vince McMahon is still underway
So WWE did confirm that Vince McMahon did in fact use all of that of unreported money,
but they’re still in the process of figuring out who that money was paid out to and they’re
continuing to look into all the allegations and investigations
So that’s the latest there with the new direction for WWE’s front office and operations
Lots of old names are rumored to be going out the door and be replaced, so we’ll have
to wait and see how this transitional period continues to unfold for WWE
———————
Mandy Rose has undoubtedly taken her career to whole new levels with her second NXT run
Mandy started making her first appearances on WWE programming through the 2015 season
of Tough Enough
Mandy didn’t win that competition and the opportunity to become a WWE superstar, but
it looked like WWE liked what they saw so much that they offered Mandy a deal even thought
she lost the competition
Mandy would quickly rise up the ranks in NXT before being called up with Sonya Deville
to join Paige on the main roster and form Absolution
Following Paige’s retirement, Mandy and Sonya Deville formed their own tag team called
“Fire and Desire”
Mandy would then have her big storyline with Otis and Sonya Deville before getting lost
in the shuffle a bit after that story concluded
WWE called Mandy up about a potential return to NXT and it ended up being the greatest
move of her WWE career
A great faction was formed around Mandy Rose and she’s having one of the longest and
greatest runs as NXT women’s champion that we’ve seen in a while
She’ll be nearing 300 days as champion in the matter of a few weeks and has truly established
herself as the biggest star in the NXT women’s division
But the interesting part is of course what will happen to Mandy Rose following her dropping
the NXT women’s title
Mandy will eventually lose the NXT women’s title to one of the younger talents on the
NXT women’s roster and it’ll really help to establish that young star, they were the
one to finally beat Mandy Rose, but what would happen to Mandy Rose herself?
Mandy recently spoke on the After The Bell podcast and had this to say about a potential
return to the WWE main roster, quote:
"100%.
I am definitely enjoying my time in NXT, but at the end of the day, of course, I want to
be back on RAW or SmackDown.
I think I will be, and I think people better show some respect and show what I've accomplished
at this point.
Whether it's defending my NXT Women's Title or whether I'm back up there trying to get
the RAW Women's Championship or the SmackDown Women's Championship.”
End quote
So Mandy Rose is definitely right, her first call-up was special, but she was still pretty
new to WWE
Now with her second call-up to the main roster and considering everything she did in NXT
over the last year, it’s gonna really feel like a big deal when she comes back to Raw
or Smackdown
Mandy should definitely come back to Raw and Smackdown as a main event star and obviously
a big threat to the reigning defending champions
So if the Raw and Smackdown women’s division ever start seriously thinning out, Mandy Rose
will definitely lift whatever show she comes back to
——————-
The Shield was not only one of the greatest factions in recent WWE history, but a majority
of fans rank them as one of the greatest factions of all time
Roman, Seth, and Moxley arrived on the WWE scene in late 2012 as this group of enforcers
that stood for justice known as “The Shield”
It looked like they were under the control of Paul Heyman and CM Punk towards the start,
but they eventually broke away and started doing their own thing and capturing WWE titles
They had the emotional breakup in 2014 after Seth Rollins turned heel on the group
Then in 2016, there was even a night where all three former shield members held the WWE
championship, so that was quite the visual as well
Then in 2019, WWE had made it public news that Jon Moxley was not signing a new deal
and will be leaving WWE
So WWE put The Shield together for one last farewell run and it was over once Moxley left
for AEW
Seth Rollins was recently asked by Digital Spy on if we’ll ever see another Shield
reunion and he had this to say, quote:
"I can say that, and maybe this might come back to bite me at some point, but I just
don't think you're ever going to see the three of us team up ever again.
It wouldn't look the way you want it to look.
It wouldn't be like the old days in The Shield, it would be a different animal.
I think we're all just too big stars with too big personalities at this point.
We needed each other back then and now none of us need the other one.
We're at a point where we're all standalone stars on a different level.
So to have to kind of minimize that to fit into each other's moulds, I just don't see
it ever happening again.
I think it would look a whole lot different than the next time you see us together.
The next time you see us together it's going to be when we're inducted into the Hall of
Fame.
That's going to be it."
End quote
Seth Rollins definitely had a point, all three men are massive stars with huge personalities
right mow
So if they ever got together, all three of them will basically have to sacrifice a part
of their personalities and take a back seat for each other, so Seth does have a great
point about that
