Will The Shield reunite in WWE anytime soon? What we know
The Shield will forever hold a notable place in the hearts of the WWE Universe. Beyond their dominance as a group, all three stars, comprising Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Jon Moxley, fka Dean Ambrose, are now at the top of their respective domains. The last time we saw The Shield contend as a faction on WWE television was at Fastlane 2019. Then, they conquered Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre in a six-man tag team match.
It has now been nearly five years since The Shield last appeared together in WWE, raising the question: Will the Shield reunite in WWE anytime soon?
As of now, the likelihood of a Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins reunion is high, but a reunion of the trio seems highly doubtful. This is primarily due to Jon Moxley being signed with All Elite Wrestling, with his contract reportedly expected to run until 2027. Therefore, a Shield reunion in WWE is not likely anytime soon.
However, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins remain engaged in WWE, with The OTC reigning over SmackDown and The Visionary on RAW. The two have sometimes crossed paths, most recently at WrestleMania XL in a tag team match. There are also whispers that Roman Reigns might move to RAW when it debuts on Netflix, which could increase the chance of a Roman-Seth reunion on the red brand.
In conclusion, the odds of a full Shield reunion in WWE are next to slim to none. Fans can only wish that when Jon Moxley's contract with AEW expires, he returns to WWE for a final run with the beloved trio.
When The Shield is expected to reunite as per Seth Rollins
Back in 2022, Seth Rollins envisioned that fans when fans might witness a reunion of the trio faction, with both Roman Reigns and Jon Moxley. This transpired during an interview when the former World Heavyweight Champion suggested that the next time fans might see The Hounds of Justice together would be when all three are inducted into the Hall of Fame.
According to Rollins, this is the only potential scenario where all three members of The Shield will reunite.
"The next time you see us together, it's going to be when we're inducted into the Hall of Fame. That's going to be it," Seth stated.
Seth’s comments seem to indicate that even he now believes there is little to no chance of the dominant trio reuniting in WWE. This is why he hopes they can at least come together during their Hall of Fame induction down the line.
