10 real-life friends who had intense on-screen rivalries in WWE

#7 WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins

Good friends, even better competitors

In 2014, on the WWE RAW following Payback, Seth Rollins turned on his brothers in The Shield to align with The Authority. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose were on the receiving end of a beatdown from Rollins, and fans got to witness exciting feuds between Rollins and the other two men.

At a time when Reigns had to take a break from wrestling to look after his health, Rollins spoke about The Big Dog to La Ley 107.9:

“At the end of the day he doesn’t want to worry about work, he doesn’t want to deal with that headache right now, so it’s about seeing how he’s doing and his recovery right now.“It’s nice to hear from him, and once in a while he’ll have a question about how things are going [with RAW], but it’s mostly just two friends catching up together.”

Reigns and Rollins are two of the biggest names in WWE today, and they have managed to lead their respective brands on several occasions. The two men have had some big matches over the past five years, and we will likely watch them have a few more major rivalries before the end of their careers.
