A new faction with similarities to The Shield has emerged in WWE NXT, using the iconic group’s signature Triple Powerbomb during an assault on NXT Champion Oba Femi at NXT Vengeance Day. The group later appeared during this week NXT, targeting WWE official Robert Stone in a backstage attack.
The mysterious faction’s emergence has sparked discussions about potential involvement in the upcoming Men’s Elimination Chamber Match. Seth Rollins, the only former Shield member in the match, will compete against CM Punk, John Cena, Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, and Logan Paul for a chance to challenge Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.
This development follows Roman Reigns’ absence due to injury.
The match outcome could be affected if The OTC seeks retribution against Rollins for events at the Royal Rumble, potentially leading to involvement from this new Shield-like group.
