Roman Reigns Talks A Full Shield Reunion, Says He’s Proud of Ambrose And Rollins

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns spoke with ESPN this morning to promote tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw, which takes place in Brooklyn, New York. It’ll be WWE’s third of four straight nights at the Barclays Center.

During the interview, Reigns was asked about a possible full Shield reunion, and he said that he hopes it’ll happen in the near future. He also said that he’s “super proud” of Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.

“The main thing for me right now, I’ve been in that Universal title picture. You can ask Seth or Dean, if they were able to be in that same situation, that’s what you go for. You want to have that top title, and that’s definitely it.

“I’m super proud of those guys, they exemplified what makes the Shield so special [at SummerSlam]. The teamwork and just that brotherhood of just going out there and getting it done – not for yourself, but for the man next to you. It really showed why when we came in, why we were so special.

“Hopefully in the near future maybe,” Reigns said of a full Shield reunion. “Not only to prolong my career maybe, because it does take it out of you running into those meatballs [Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe] for 30 minutes at a time, but there’s just some kind of magic when the three of us get together and we’re just moving on all cylinders. It always seems to be a great time for the crowd.”
