Seth Rollins turned his back on fellow Shield member this week on RAW. No one saw this coming so soon and if anyone did I'm calling you a liar right now. Everyone had guesses as to how Reigns and Ambrose would turn but I don't think anyone suspected Seth turning. So with Batista's departure can Rollins really hold that place? Will Rollins be able to play the bad ass heel? Or is he an inside man like so many have suggested?
Personally I was blown away by this and I want this to be a full blown split. No inside man. No mind games. Just a split and heel turn. This will lead to three great singles stars in the main event to challenge for titles which is a great thing.
I never expected it and I was shocked for the first time since Wrestlemania. This is a good thing. WWE managed to shock people again and kept one of their main focal points trending on social media for well over 24 hours. Now lot's of people are sending hate mail to Seth. Let me be the first to say this is wrong but it means one thing. WWE MANAGED TO CREATE GENUINE HATE. Could Seth really be the first properly hated heel in a while? I think so.
The fact that WWE shocked me was great and it was great that they shocked others but others need to realize a few things. SPOILERS its storyline. Yes that's right. Wrestling, as much as we like to believe it doesn't, follows a script. Seth did not legit turn on his friends. Get over it fan girls. Well done for showing fan support though.
Seth Rollins now has one hell of a job ahead of him though. Much like Jeff Hardy, Seth has a very high octane move set and this makes it very hard for him to not be liked. Look at The Shield matches between their debut up until they fought the Wyatts. Mostly all of the focus was on Reigns and Ambrose. When they began fighting Wyatt and his family that is when Seth began to shine because he got the chance to use his high flyer style move set. Hopefully WWE realize that this could play into it and they don't let Seth just become another "cool guy" heel that fans cheer for anyway. Push Seth to the boundaries that no heel has touched in a long time.

So what now? Part of me wonders if Ambrose could turn on Reigns at MITB and leave him high and dry. This sets up the HHH/Reigns feud heading towards Summerslam. After speaking to @wrencis and @EddieMichaelsJr about future matches I think its safe to say we will see all three members of The Shield face off. Maybe near Survivor Series time.
Does this mean Shield is dead forever? Hell no. If history is anything to go by then its's safe to assume The Shield will reform in the future. Look at D-Generation X for example they broke up more than meringue under a sledgehammer but always pulled it back together for the odd match.
Lets just enjoy the ride while we can. Hopefully WWE will take this momentum and create a good RAW for next week. They need to start pulling up their socks and developing better programming. I realize I'm usually pro WWE but this weeks Raw was a 6/10 at most and that was only due to one or two matches plus the ending.
