“We Wanted Them to Take Note”: Seth Rollins Reveals Why He Took It Upon Himself to Break The Shield Back in 2016

If there is one man who has been consistently performing at his best and putting out performances better than in his golden days, it is Seth Rollins. The former WWE champion is one of the most beloved wrestlers in the locker room. But that wasn’t the case for most of his glorious and decorated career in WWE.

Before he was the belle of the ball, Rollins climbed his way with some sneaky tactics. Not only did he get the Authority to back him up, but he also undermined many legends, like John Cena and Randy Orton. But his cruelest move was to sting the faction which brought him up from NXT, The Shield.

Seth Rollins highlights ‘ultimate success’ when asked about betraying his Shield brothers

There are a multitude of moments when Rollins outshone everyone and grabbed the spotlight by its neck, and this was the first one. Soon after pummeling through most of the legends and champions in the back with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, going by Jon Moxley, the group’s Architect showed his true colors.

But in a recent interview, Rollins explained his actions clearly. He said, “We wanted them to take note. We had beaten everyone there was to beat, and at some point, if you want to reach the ultimate success, you gotta take risks. If I hadn’t put the chair in Roman’s back, what would the future would’ve looked like?”

But this is not how Reigns and Moxley separated their ways with Rollins. They would even win the tag titles again in the future. Also, Reigns would take his revenge when he roasted Rollins while feuding with him for the titles. But did Rollins have no other choice but to betray his closest people in WWE? How big did he get after the chair shot?

Soon after his betrayal, Rollins drastically changed his entire attitude. Coming out with his own goons, and security like Kane and The Big Show, there wasn’t anyone who he couldn’t face. His tone became sarcastic, and he disrespected a lot of legends, John Cena and Sting, just to name a few. But the biggest change came when he cashed in his Money in the Bank.

After becoming a world champion, no one could stop him. Once he became champion, the backstage crew saw his true potential. From there, he went on to be the star of Raw for years. But he didn’t stop at one thing. He kept reinventing himself.

From The Architect to The Messiah to The Visionary, he showed up and excelled at his job. So, if he hadn’t put the chair in Reigns that day, we wouldn’t be talking about Rollins at all. He truly did gain the ‘ultimate success’ after all.
