Seth Rollins just peeled back the curtain on one of WWEs biggest what ifswhy fans never got a Shield triple threat at WrestleMania.
Speaking on The Sal Licata Show on January 29, 2026, Rollins reflected on scrapped plans to break up The Shield at WrestleMania 30 with a triple threat matchand how it morphed into one of his biggest regrets.
Rollins admitted he was relieved when that version was scrapped, and the group continued for a few more months, including their legendary feud with Evolution.
Eventually, WWE did pull the trigger on the Shield triple threat matchbut it wasnt at WrestleMania. It happened at Battleground in 2016, a decision that frustrated all three members. So why didnt it happen at WrestleMania? According to Seth, it wasnt their call.
These comments came just days after Rollins told GQ that a full-blown Shield reunion is highly unlikelyciting his strained relationship with Roman Reigns and Jon Moxleys departure from WWE.
While that epic moment may be in the rearview, Rollins behind-the-scenes reveal shows just how close we came to seeing one of the biggest triple threats in wrestling history take place on the biggest stage.
