What if Bobby Lashley joins The Shield?

#2 Seth Rollins back in the shadows

The addition of Bobby Lashley would push Seth Rolins further into the background.

Rollins was the first member of The Shield to have won a world title and is in many ways the agreed upon best all-around worker from the group. Even now, though, Rollins feels a bit in the shadow of Reigns as the Universal Champion and Ambrose who feels fresh after returning from injury and developing a new look. Add Bobby Lashley to the mix, and Rollins runs the risk of becoming a totally forgotten man relative to a big man with a new push, and likely lots of intrigue surrounding him.

When The Shield first launched, Seth Rollins was a clear front runner for the position of “most likely to get lost in the shuffle” whenever the group parted ways. It’s not that Rollins wasn’t talented. Dean Ambrose had a big personality and best-defined character, though. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns best fit the mold for a WWE main eventer and seemed early on to be the chosen one who’d become—or at least be in the conversation to become—the next face of WWE. Were it not for Rollins’s exceptional talent and WWE brass like Triple H looking out for him from the beginning, he may have been the one left without a direction when the faction splintered.
