The Mayhem of Rollins: SmackDown Digitals

SmackDown Goes Rollins?
After the Monday Night Raw that shocked and broke the hearts of thousands, HHH “promised” an answer to the WWE Universe for the choices made by Seth Rollins. But as we all know things are rarely that simple in the WWE and Rollins simply stands proudly as HHH explains the magnitude of his “backstabbing” behavior. When he does get to speak, Rollins angrily yells “The only person that knows why I did what I did, and the only person that needs to know…the only person I owe anything to..is me.”
He then has a quiet conversation with HHH until they are interrupted by Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler cockily acknowledges he may receive a beating after he says what he wants to. He explains that he respected the anti-authority reputation of the Shield and how they went toe to toe with Evolution and won. However he says Rollins completely sold out. An unimpressed Seth whispers to HHH and soon it is announced SmackDown will start off with a match between the show-off and Seth Rollins.

Rollins and Ziggler engage in a very back and forth battle of wills with numerous counters. We see a slightly more aggressive side of Seth Rollins as he slams Ziggler’s head into the mat. Triple H confidently strolls the ringside area and praises Rollins to the announcers saying proudly “he can adapt to anything.” Rollins very authoritatively takes out Ziggler with peace of mind to end the match.

Backstage Triple H and Randy Orton are walking with Rollins and welcome him happily to the “Dark side” with a pat on the back. They run into the Big Show who looks completely unimpressed and stares Rollins down in the face. He calls Rollins a piece of trash, as Rollins refuses to budge and HHH smirks in the background. Big Show asks HHH what is so funny and HHH announces Big Show will face off against not Rollins but Randy Orton in a match later.

Rollins appears near the end of the Big Show/Orton match, saving both Orton and HHH against the big man’s wrath with a vicious peace of mind on a steel chair.

The Shield Implodes via Rollins and a Steel Chair
The Shield enters the ring and Dean says they are beaten up but look and feel great! Seth says Evolution failed to adapt last night because they were not one with each other each other like the Shield. Roman says “these men standing in this ring are brothers. So Randy Orton get out here so I can break your jaw with the symbol of excellence!”
As Orton and HHH enter the ring, HHH wields his best friend the sledgehammer. Seth exits the ring to grab the Shield’s own insurance policy. As he approaches the ring he states “Last night was only plan A, tonight is plan B. There is always a plan B!”
As Reigns gears up for the fight, Seth takes a step back and connects with the steel chair into Roman Reigns’s back. Ambrose looks at Rollins with a look of pure shock and runs towards him. Rollins rams the chair into Ambroses stomach and beats him over and over with the chair until it actually bends and breaks. He adds a little more punishment to Roman Reigns and delivers peace of mind to Ambrose on the steel chair before exiting to join Randy and HHH outside of the ring, and offer the chair to Randy Orton. Randy Orton then enters the ring and further punishes the Shield two, even delivering and RKO on the chair to Roman Reigns. HHH stands proudly in the ring with his arm slung over Seth Rollins as they look down at the barely moving Reigns and Ambrose. They stand there as Raw goes off air.

The Shield vs. Evolution (Elimination No Holds Barred Match)
The match quickly moves into the aisle-way in front of the fans and outside the ring, as tempers flare between the teams. Once they do get back into the ring, Batista and Randy Orton turn their attention to Seth in attempts to eliminate the smallest member first. This is not to be so as Rollins and Reigns use a double team on Batista. An energetic Rollins doesn’t back down from the King of Kings either as he assaults the game with punches.
During the course of the match Batista’s face meets Rollins’s boot much to the delight of the audience (that had been chanting boo-tista throughout the match). When the fight goes yet again outside the ring, Rollins and Triple H fight all the way down the aisle of fans to a bunch of equipment set up. Seth tries to climb the boxes to launch an attack on HHH but HHH smacks Seth with an object he had concealed his hands (which looks to be a type of monitor). Rollins goes down and lays face first on the floor not moving. Dean also gets taken out of the equation and disappears from site as well. This allows the three members of Evolution to gain the upper hand and and toss Roman Reigns through the announce desk. Instead of trying to eliminate Reigns, Evolution stands over him mocking the Shield’s signature pose.
But, being cocky almost never comes without punishment and a flying Ambrose and Rollins from out of nowhere interrupt the premature celebration. The battle continues at the front of the entrance ramp as Ambrose gets tossed on top an awaiting chair back first. And Seth takes a stiff chair shot to the back. With both Dean and Seth laying hurting, Evolution turned their attention back to Roman Reigns with an evil plan in store. They toss a set of steps into the ring and find kendo sticks under the ring. They rip of Roman’s shirt and toss it aside. With one member of evolution holding Reigns arms, they stretch him across the stairs and begin whipping Reigns back with kendo stick shots.
The damage can be seen on Reigns’s back as he struggles to his feet outside of the ring towards his partners. Evolution tops the shot off with a steel chair. Ambrose interrupts the attack on Roman, trying to hit all members of Evolution. Evolution holds him down but fail to see Seth Rollins has made his way to the top of the television screen above the entrance. Seth takes out all three members of Evolution, changing the course of the match. Everyone begins to crawl towards the ring in this bizarre turn of events.
Back in the ring Roman and Seth team together to allow Seth to pin Batista. Ambrose takes care of Randy Orton with Dirty Deeds. Finally Seth’s flying knee connects with the back of HHH’s head and Roman gives him a spear for good measure. The Shield wins a clean sweep! Roman extends his hand out to Rollins who is also laying exhausted on the canvas and the two exchange a congratulatory hand squeeze.
Roman and Dean hug and the celebration continues onto the post-show.
The Shield pose on the announce desk after Dean finishes tossing chairs into the ring. Seth smacks the announce table with a kendo stick and puts it in his mouth still celebrating.

Post-Show
At their post show interview Dean has head down on the table while Seth and Roman look similarly exhausted. The Shield basically state they don’t care and will take it to the next level with their opponents.They all say they are hurting and Roman says “I think my triceps is torn”, and he makes a great statement about glory and honor which Dean says “too bad there’s already a t-shirt that says that.” Seth laughs a little under his breath at the strange statement.

Where are they now? (WWE.com Feature)
by Bobby Melok

*Please Note: This article only includes the portions where the Shield was mentioned, since it was a long article. To read the full feature please go to WWE.com

“There’ll be a dozen Hall of Famers who thank Joey Mercury first and foremost in their acceptance speech,” Dean Ambrose told WWE.com.
For those who simply know Mercury as one half of MNM alongside John Morrison, Ambrose’s statement might be a little shocking. However, Mercury’s greatest impact on sports-entertainment came after he stepped out of the ring, and into his new role as one of WWE’s most respected producers, as well as a mentor to breakout Superstars like The Shield.

“He is a mastermind when it comes to wrestling psychology, and the ins and outs of being in the ring,” Seth Rollins explained. “He loves teaching people how to do things and do them better. He’s a talent maximizer. He takes your best assets and makes them better. He takes the things you’re terrible at and helps you improve.”

It’s a position that Mercury relishes, even at the age of 34, when most in-ring performers are in their prime.
“One of the things I was concerned about with being a coach and producer so young was thinking, ‘Am I missing out on that feeling of being in the ring and making the fans pop out of their chairs?’” he said. “I don’t, because it’s very fulfilling to live vicariously through the guys you help. If I give an idea about gameplan or strategy, and they implement it and it works well and they get that reaction, I feel it twofold.”

…..

“Joey can make a bad match good, a good match great and a great match classic,” Ambrose said. “You would come to the back and think you had an awesome match, and he would be like, ‘Well, that was OK, you worked hard, but let me tell you how it could have been better.’”
Mercury formed a close bond with the three members of The Shield in NXT, which continued as The Hounds of Justice joined the main roster and Mercury became a producer on the road.

“He’s like a fourth member,” Roman Reigns said. “Any time Joey’s around, it could be a five-star match, but he’ll nitpick us. That’s what makes us better. He keeps us honest.”
“He’s definitely a hero to us,” Ambrose added. “At this point, if he tells me a way to do something, I do it that way first, because he’s right 99 percent of the time.”
After all that Mercury has been through, it’s easy to forget that he’s not even 35 yet. His combination of youth and experience makes him a valuable asset to WWE.
“He brings an old man’s wisdom and a young man’s vibrance,” Heyman said.

Though many grapplers his age are still battling in the trenches, those closest to Mercury don’t think he’s itching to get back in the ring any time soon.
“I think he’s found peace,” Rollins said. “He once told me that he’s never had a feeling in the ring by himself that compares to the feeling he gets [working with Superstars].”
Joey Mercury echoes Rollins’ sentiment. “I look at them like they’re my babies,” he said. “I have a lot of children out there. To see them grow up and make it to what they’ve been working for and tear the house down, that’s really rewarding.”
