Shield Meets Kane Backstage
Kane backstage stresses to the Shield how he needs them on his side as a united front. Seth states the Shield is definitely united. The Shield make fun of Kane a bit once again before the end of this quick segment.

The Shield Unleashes Justice
Kane comes to the ring and begins accusing Jerry Lawler for orchestrating the Daniel Bryan occupy Raw movement. The Shield’s music hits and the Shield surrounds the announce desk. Seth pulls back Jerry’s chair, forcing him to stand up while Ambrose orders him into the ring. The Shield and Kane have Jerry backed into a corner of the ring and Seth approaches him with the mic telling him “the shield always does what is best for business.” With that he turns back around to Kane and the Shield begin to surround the big red monster instead. The Shield attack Kane and give him the signature triple power bomb to finish him off. It becomes increasingly clear that the Shield will not be working for the authority any longer.

I’ve been listening to the Art of Wrestling with Colt Cabana for several years now and I thought I’d share with you all the link to an old episode featuring Seth Rollins as “Tyler Black”. This interview took place just after he had signed with WWE but before he had even moved down to train at FCW.
In this interview Seth talks about how he got into wrestling as a kid, reveals he has half Armenian (yes everyone that’s his background, he is not latin like many believe) and how he got obsessed with a certain video game.

At one point this interview used to free, but unfortunately it is not free any longer as the first few episodes of Art of Wrestling have been re-mastered for better audio and now have to be purchased on Colt’s website.
So I cannot post the interview on the site because of it not being free. But I thought I’d share the link where you can download the original 10 episodes of the podcast for a small fee (this of course includes the interview with Seth).

Seth Rollins vs. Damien Sandow
Damien Sandow was thrown into this unlucky situation courtesy of Triple H. Rollins immediately lays into Sandow with wild punches. He nearly gets launched over Sandow’s shoulder onto the floor but he quickly catches himself on the apron. After ducking a punch Rollins takes a stiff shot to the knee and goes down hard on the outside. Sandow’s offense wouldn’t last long as he gets knocked into the corner with an enziguri. Sandow thinks about taking his stock and leaving, but Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose block his exit. Sandow has nowhere to go and Rollins takes him out on the outside with a suicide dive. After throwing Sandow back in the ring, Seth hits the blackout for the win.
Following Seth’s effective victory the Shield is about to do their signature fists in symbol of union but Ambrose has different ideas. He runs to the outside grabbing Sandow and tossing him back into the ring. All three members of the Shield attack Sandow and finish him off with a triple power-bomb. They finish the segment standing proud, fists in, in the center of the ring.

Shield works for nobody
Backstage later in the show we see the Shield in Kane’s office. Kane orders the Shield to be at ringside during his match to keep order. Seth Rollins calls Kane’s bluff saying the real reason Kane wants them there is simply to prevent him from getting knocked out by the Big Show.
The Shield refuses to be Kane’s support system.

The Shield do appear during the Kane and Big Show match and stand around the outside of the ring. When it becomes clear Kane is in trouble he tries to order Seth Rollins to “get going, come on” in the ring. Seth backs away as do the rest of the Shield members. They allow Kane to become the victim of a Big Show choke-slam. Just as the three are leaving Kane snatches Seth Rollins by his hair and drags him into the ring in anger. He has Seth hoisted up for a choke-slam but Roman Reigns strikes with a vicious spear that leaves Kane writhing on the mat. Seth angrily shouts at downed Kane “that’s what you get for laying your hands on me!” “Don’t lay your hands on me!”
The Shield once again getting the best of the confrontation with the big red monster as SmackDown comes to a close.

Trying out a new thing, I’m calling it “way back” Wednesday! Featuring old school and younger videos of Seth Rollins!

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins seek redemption against the Rhodes Brothers

Admin Note: (The following is a wwe.com recap being posted temporarily until I can watch the match and get a more detailed one!)

If anyone on the WWE roster was in need of a morale-boosting victory, it was The Shield. And The Hounds of Justice, despite recent tensions, came through in the clutch by defeating The Rhodes Brothers on Raw to earn some belated payback for “The Brotherhood’s” taking of their Tag Team Titles back in the fall. With Dean Ambrose prowling the sidelines, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns got off to a strong start before the brothers pounced with a criss-crossing cross body-somersault plancha combo to the two Hounds outside the ring.

Reigns roared his way back to the advantage, beating the paint off Goldust’s face and initiating the Shield’s patented “numbers game” plan alongside Rollins to power their way to a near-permanent advantage. A last-ditch effort from a fresh Cody Rhodes gave The Brotherhood life, but Rollins got the last word by reversing the Disaster Kick into a corner powerbomb and, finally, a stomp that drove the prince of the Rhodes family face-first into the canvas.
