Reigns and Seth Rollins go way back to the time they were part of The Shield. The two stars took WWE by storm back in the day.
On the latest edition of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Roman Reigns opened up about The Visionary and had the following to say about his former Shield stablemate:
"So that's Seth Rollins, he was a 'former chosen family member,' but..." [7:46-7:52]
The two top stars have been involved in some of the biggest moments in the history of WWE. In mid-2014, The Visionary turned heel in a shocking moment and betrayed his stablemates. A year later, he cashed in his MITB briefcase in the main event of WrestleMania 31 and became the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Both men have come a long way since then. In a few days, the two superstars are set to compete in the biggest tag team match ever as Reigns will team up with The Rock and Rollins will team up with Cody Rhodes.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
