Seth Rollins has reflected on his pivotal betrayal of The Shield, which he believes transformed the wrestling industry for the better. During an appearance on ESPN SportsCenter, he emphasized that he would not change his decision to attack Roman Reigns with a steel chair in 2014, as it set all three members on successful individual paths while enhancing the overall health of the wrestling business. Rollins stated, 'Our goal in the beginning was to run the show... and here we are, a decade later, and I dare say that it was accomplished with the swing of that steel chair.' Since their split, all three members—Rollins, Reigns, and Jon Moxley—have become top stars and World Champions in their own right. Rollins will continue to play a significant role in WWE, serving as a special guest referee for the upcoming match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam. The legacy of The Shield remains influential in wrestling history, despite the members pursuing separate careers.
