The SHIELD was a popular faction in WWE that included Jon Moxley fka Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins. The trio became huge individual stars after splitting. During their heyday, the trio ran roughshod over the WWE roster taking out several industry legends and top stars. Their signature move was the triple powerbomb that took out many a superstar.
The four-way world title match at Worlds End saw the Puryevor of Violence have a rough night taking on three opponents as Jay White, Orange Cassidy, and Hangman Page attempted to take out the champion first. While the Death Riders tried to rescue Jon Moxley, the challengers dragged him and then triple-powerbombed him on the commentary table, similar to The SHIELD. He wasn't able to recover from the attack for a few minutes.

He also does not indulge much in speculation in his content.
His all-time favorite wrestler is Roman Reigns for his journey from being one of the most unlikable babyfaces at the start of his career to one of the greatest modern WWE superstars. If Tejas ever got the chance to go back to the Attitude Era and manage a superstar, it would choose high-flying, risk-taking diminutive entertainer Spike Dudley. Tejas would assure him that he would be involved in long-term storylines, something that he wasn’t part of during his time.
In his free time, Tejas enjoys singing and learning new things.
