Seth Rollins has supposedly severed all ties with his former Shield brother, Roman Reigns. But does it come as a shocker that the Drip God still considers him as a close person in his life? Ever since the Shield broke up in 2014, Rollins and Reigns have been pitted against each other multiple times. But in between that enmity, there have also been times when they worked together too.
Rollins went on to make a bold statement about Roman that perhaps no one expected. He has now finally shed some light on his love-hate relationship with the Tribal Chief.

Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose dominated the WWE landscape as a part of “The Shield.” After the group’s dissolution, Rollins and Reigns went on to become two of the biggest stars of this generation. However, the Head of the Table was supposedly protected by his family and higher-ups en route to becoming the longest-reigning World champion of the modern era. While Seth had to fight his battles on his own.

Moreover, Roman Reigns’ nearly 1000-day reign as champion has been heavily criticized by many, including Rollins. This came purely due to his limited appearances, title defenses, and opportunities for others to elevate to the next level.
During a recent sit-down interview with Corey Graves on RAW, Rollins was brutally honest. He claimed that he still had “love” for Roman Reigns. But his ruthless personality and tenure as champion made him lose all the respect he had for him.
“I love Roman Reigns … but I don’t like Roman Reigns … that’s brotherhood right … I will always have love for that man … When everybody in the world had made us their enemies, Roman was there for me …but the person he has become … and the champion he has become … I have got no respect for that.”
Rollins continued: “I just think he has been poisoned by his own ego … and the biggest thing is that championship … he is taking opportunities away from everybody else … that’s about as selfish as you can be … I want to become World Heavyweight champion so that we can all forget about Roman Reigns.”
