The Shield reunion teased for Royal Rumble 2025 to eliminate former World Heavyweight Champion

The 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match could feature a momentary reunion of The Shield, with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns potentially joining forces against Drew McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior’s ongoing feuds with both former Shield members have intensified, setting up a possible confrontation during the premium live event.

McIntyre’s recent actions against the OG Bloodline, coupled with his heated exchanges with Rollins on RAW, position him as a common adversary. This situation could lead Rollins and Reigns to temporarily set aside their differences during the Royal Rumble match.

RAW superstars declare Royal Rumble entry

Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre officially entered the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match on the January 13 episode of RAW. The announcement came during a confrontation with CM Punk, where Rollins delivered a pointed message:

If I wasn’t a man of my word and I opted not to show up when times got hard, that would be a Punk move. I would rather be the worst version of myself than any version of Punk.

Their mutual entry into the Royal Rumble adds another layer to the possibility of a Shield reunion targeting McIntyre. The former Hounds of Justice could work together to eliminate The Scottish Warrior, though any alliance would likely be short-lived given their complex history.
