3 Superstars who could replace Seth Rollins in The Shield

This week’s RAW wasn’t pretty for The Shield, as they were first arrested and taken to jail, but soon returned quickly only to be handed a beating by the heel side of the RAW roster.

While the rest of the roster decided that it was a good idea to sit back and watch the three men get beaten up, Corbin called out the heels to take down The Shield as they made their way to take on Ziggler, McIntyre, and Strowman.

Once the dust settled, it was seen that Seth Rollins of The Shield picked up a legitimate injury during the beating and was seen bleeding profusely from his left arm. This was a result of being thrown through the police van window that The Shield has commandeered in order to return to RAW.

The extent of Seth’s injury is unknown, and we are unaware if he will require some time off to recover from the injury or not. Here we speculate the names of a few superstars who could take his place in The Shield for the days to come, in case he is set to miss out to recover.

#3 Kurt Angle

Kurt Angle joined The Shield for TLC PPV and house shows

The current General Manager of RAW has been sent on a vacation by Stephanie McMahon as The Authority was not happy with the way he justly handled the superstars. Instead, they’ve appointed Baron Corbin, who plays a heel, as the acting General Manager of RAW.

Reports suggest that Kurt Angle has already been training hard and plans to make an in-ring return sooner than later. It’s still unknown whether he plans to do so as a part-time or full-time wrestler. However, it’s safe to assume that this storyline will play a major role in him making his comeback as a wrestler.

Angle has been a part of The Shield for a few matches in the past replacing Roman Reigns during TLC. He could possibly make his return as a substitute for the injured Rollins, and help Reigns and Ambrose go against Ziggler, McIntyre, and Strowman before going after Corbin and getting his authority back on RAW.

#2 Bray Wyatt

Though an unlikely pairing, Bray Wyatt has performed better in tag-teams and is currently out of action after the retirement of his latest partner Matt Hardy. The Eater of Worlds has always been great to watch, be it with the Wyatt Family or as a part of The Deleters of Worlds.

Wyatt could return to action as a substitute to Seth Rollins as he is great on the mic just like Rollins and can cut A grade promos. He’s also very fine in the ring and can be a good partner to Reigns and Ambrose till Rollins returns. He has already hinted at returning to RAW as a face for the first time.

A new angle can come out of this as Braun Strowman was a member of The Wyatt Family initially, and the leader of the faction Bray Wyatt still has unfinished business with the Monster Among Men. A resulting storyline from this could be Wyatt’s return to singles competition against Strowman.

#1 John Cena

The 16-time Champion has done almost everything in the ring.

The 16-time World Champion made his return to the ring recently and is scheduled for a match at the WWE Super Show-Down in Australia soon. John Cena has helped out many superstars in his career and has even lost some matches to put new stars above in the WWE.

He could possibly team-up with The Shield on return to take on Ziggler, McIntyre, and Strowman. The sheer strength of the superstar will come in handy when taking on Strowman and McIntrye who seem unstoppable.

Cena can be the perfect replacement to Rollins and could also help more people cheer on The Shield, especially Roman Reigns. Since the company is doing everything possible to get the fans behind the current Universal Champion, Cena could help put the Big Dog on top.

Do you think any one of the Superstars will come out to replace Seth Rollins if needed?
