Matt, who is the brother of Roman Reigns, said that the idea for The Shield had been in the works for years and noted that he was supposed to be an original member.

"A lot of people don't know this, but whenever me and my cousin, when Eddie [Fatu] came back, the original thought was, we were going to be The Shield," Matt said. "[Triple H] let us know, 'Alright. Go out and buy you some black S.W.A.T Team stuff. And we did it. Either or, it didn't work out. Obviously, Jamaal moved on to do the Umaga thing and I went on to do my thing."
