The world of professional wrestling thrives on compelling rivalries, and few are as layered and personal as the decade-long conflict between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. A&E’s “WWE Rivals” takes a deep dive into this epic feud this Sunday, exploring the history, the betrayals, and the sheer athleticism that have defined their matches.
The episode traces the careers of both Superstars, highlighting their distinct paths to the WWE. Reigns, a natural talent from a legendary Samoan wrestling family, arrived with a certain pedigree. Rollins, on the other hand, honed his craft on the independent circuit, traveling the world before making his mark on the big stage. Their journeys eventually converged as members of The Shield, a dominant faction that took the WWE by storm. They were brothers in arms, united in their quest for dominance.
But as “WWE Rivals” makes clear, brotherhood can be fragile. A shocking betrayal shattered The Shield and set Reigns and Rollins on a collision course, a rivalry that continues to this day. Hosted by Freddie Prinze Jr., with a roundtable of WWE personalities, the episode features archival footage and interviews with legends and current Superstars, providing context and insight into this complex relationship.
