Roman Reigns’ return last week was capped off with him and Seth Rollins saving their former Shield teammate, Dean Ambrose. This week he opened the show once again and was received with overwhelming cheers from the Philadelphia audience. “Last week in Atlanta was the comeback,” stated Reigns. “This week in Philly, we take our yard back!”
Reigns told the crowd that he has been thinking about what he wants and there’s just one man in his way – Seth Rollins. “In order to get what I want, I want to address him,” declared Reigns. Out came Rollins who greeted his partner with a firm handshake. “Seeing you come out here last week knowing that you won the fight of your life, that was one of the greatest moments of my career,” opened Rollins. “It made me feel like I could do anything. I’m gonna take that inspiration to WrestleMania and I’m gonna slay the beast.”

However, Rollins said he knows where Reigns’ head is at. “I know what it’s like to vacate a title and never lose it. If anyone deserves a title shot as much as I do, it’s you. So, if that’s where you’re at then let’s talk about it.”
Reigns told Rollins that he was wrong. “One man watched over this place and kept this place in line [while I was gone,” said the Samoan star. “I know you got what it takes [to beat Lesnar] and good luck, my brother.” He then requested a favor from his Shield brethren. “I want to get the band back together for one last time.”

Rollins was hesitant, which makes sense after Ambrose turned on him. Reigns asked the crowd if they wanted a reunion and got a huge applause. “The fact is, tomorrow is not guaranteed,” said Reigns. “Life is short. The most important thing is the relationships we have and you two are my brothers. I want one more moment with my brothers.” That wast enough to convince Rollins to give Ambrose another shot.
With two members agreeing to the reunion, all they needed was a yes from Ambrose. However, before Ambrose could say anything he was ambushed by Elias. Both Rollins and Reigns came to his aid afterward but he waved off their help and stumbled backstage injured.
