Think about it, Rollins was the game changer last night and storyline wise it could be said he was bad rear end enough to earn HHH's respect. And he likes money. Compared to some of the poo poo I saw in 1999, this is barely a 3 on the Russo meter.

It's not :russo: to believe that HHH saw he couldn't win so he bought off Rollins.

The :russo: part is that Rollins was bought, as he was consistently the most loyal member in the faction, not that HHH would try or even succeed to buy somebody.

The Shield really had nowhere else to go besides this.

I agree, but why Seth? I LIKE Seth!

I mean... Ambrose even has been the one who kept disappearing and getting into it with the others while Seth had the Shield's back enough to literally attempt suicide!

Even Reigns, being the obvious powerhouse and the one who could replace Batista in Evolution and it make some sense, is a better choice than Seth.

Seth was the one who believed in the Shield even more than Ambrose and Reigns. Him turning heel and joining Evolution made NO sense.

...but I guess that's why they did it. For that what the gently caress moment.

This was definitely a :russo: moment. Sorry, but I can't believe that in less than 24 hours that the guy who jumped off Titantrons to win for his team was just outright bought out. It's just dumb.

Michael J Beverage, I've got a bone to pick with you.
So Triple H's kayfabe plan was to buy out Seth to make Evolution 4 members before he knew that Batista would quit?

It's pretty obvious that HHH backed up a truckful of money/power/women/hairdye to Seth's house in the last 24 hours rather than some sleeper agent poo poo. He realised that as a team they were unbeatable, so he had to split them
He found the clone factory and was threatening Seth to either join Evolution or he become mortal again.

I think it is highly unlikely, and I think it would be a mistake to try and replace Seth with anyone (especially given he is the "architect" of the faction) - I hope Ambrose and Roman remain buddies or at least united in hatred of Seth, but I think this should be the end of The Shield as an ongoing thing. It's hard to go out on a higher note than a clean sweep of Evolution.

There will be no third member of The Shield. It'll be just Dean and Roman until they're done and that'll be it. I think Triple H is going to take a backseat until Summerslam and let Roman and Dean face off with Randy and Seth.

Seth was actually the first member of the group to ever outright walk out on his teammates (there was some deliberately hazy stuff with Ambrose beforehand but nothing explicit), though he ended up turning that around and using it to seemingly bond the group together more tightly.

Perhaps the Reigns push is Vince, and the Rollins push is HHH.

But then... who will push Ambrose?

This but only somewhat ironically.

Also I think it's amazing that Triple H can go on Raw/PPVs, be the world's biggest shithead and have the audience despise him, then go down the NXT and soak in the adulation of "Hey I'm really just Paul Levesque not that other guy" during on-show interviews. I get the whole "KAYFABE IS DEAD" thing, but I think it says neat things about today's wrestling fan that they can keep both in their heads without any issues.
