Rollins and HBK on Raw
After the break-up of The Shield in 2014, all three members of the faction broke out as singles competitors in the WWE, however, it was ‘The Architect’ Seth Rollins who broke out as the hottest singles star from The Shield and was eventually awarded the WWE Championship due to his outstanding in-ring performances.

While being in his first reign as World Champion, Seth Rollins portrayed the role of a cowardly heel who always preferred to retain his championship by hook or by crook, but that somehow did not reflect on his in-ring performances as ‘The Kingslayer’ gave his very best everytime he stepped inside the squared circle. Rollins’ outstanding in-ring performances eventually led to the comparison between him and WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels and some particular members of the WWE Universe were certainly craving for a dream singles match between the two men as well.
