Seth Rollins forms new Dangerous Alliance in WWE, introducing a new powerhouse member after a pivotal post-SummerSlam twist that has the wrestling world stunned. The development has dramatically reshaped the WWE championship landscape and signaled the arrival of a more formidable force led by Rollins.
Rollins Assembles a Dominant Faction With a New Edge
Fresh from assembling a strong group around him, Seth Rollins expanded his plans, seeking not just strength but ingenuity and unpredictability. Already backed by two physically imposing allies and an influential strategist, Rollins sensed the need for another formidable presence—someone as fearsome as he is mentally unbalanced, bringing a layer of danger to the group’s ambition within WWE’s ever-changing power struggle.
After Night of Champions, Gunther appeared on RAW, expressing frustration over a lack of worthy challengers. Dominant in recent performances and left without a match in Saudi Arabia, Gunther declared,
“Well, since there is no one left, I might as well be the Best In The World.”
—Gunther, WWE Superstar.
That declaration was quickly challenged by CM Punk, who, battered but resolute, confronted Gunther in the ring. The exchange intensified anticipation for a SummerSlam showdown, as Seth Rollins watched the confrontation unfold with unmistakable interest from backstage.
SummerSlam Sees Tensions Boil Over
During SummerSlam, the match between Gunther and CM Punk reached a fever pitch, with Gunther methodically overpowering Punk. Rollins, ensuring the match favored his own goals, ordered Bron and Bronson to interfere, distracting the referee at a critical moment. In an unexpected twist, Goldberg stormed into the action, targeting Gunther much as he did Brock Lesnar years before, setting up a confrontation yet to come. Taking advantage of the chaos, CM Punk delivered his signature move on Gunther, securing victory as Sami Zayn and Jey Uso joined the celebration.
However, Rollins was not deterred by backstage setbacks. When Sami Zayn later challenged Punk for the title, the atmosphere became charged with tension. Just as Zayn prepared to finish Punk, Seth’s music filled the arena. Alone, he appeared on the ramp, his laughter echoing ominously. A mysterious figure entered the ring and delivered a powerful Claymore kick—Drew McIntyre had arrived, changing the trajectory of the night.
Drew McIntyre Joins the Alliance in a Dramatic Turn
McIntyre’s shocking entry and attack, aided by Bron and Bronson, left Sami Zayn and CM Punk incapacitated. Rollins prevented the official from stopping the bout, then handed over the briefcase to orchestrate a masterful heist. With his opponents out of action, Rollins executed a decisive curb stomp and pinned Punk, sealing his reclaiming of the WWE Heavyweight Championship. The event concluded with all five members of Rollins’ new faction triumphantly standing together, their unity signaling a seismic change across WWE.
The reaction across the WWE universe was electric; fans and commentators debated whether this was a brilliant move or a controversial betrayal. Yet, Rollins stood unfazed, having consolidated power with a Dangerous Alliance now ruling the top tier of the organization.
Why McIntyre Is the Perfect Fit for the Faction
McIntyre’s history with Rollins is significant—he previously defeated “The Architect” at WrestleMania, only to be undone by Punk’s interference later on. On the following RAW, Rollins explained, through Paul Heyman, that although Drew may not hold the championship immediately, joining the alliance would serve his personal vendetta: removing CM Punk from WWE.
With two powerhouse enforcers and now a “psychopath” like McIntyre, the faction boasts unrivaled intimidation and versatility. Drew’s fearless attitude and distaste for Punk align with the group’s objectives, making him a critical asset willing to go to great lengths to accomplish their plans. Rollins referred to himself as the pathway to WWE’s future and sees McIntyre, long known as “The Chosen One,” as the ideal accomplice in shaping that legacy, likening him to a formidable lieutenant in a classic power structure.
Potential Rivalries and Broader Implications
McIntyre’s addition unlocks new possibilities—for one, a pursuit of the U.S. Title following his rivalries with both Fatu and Damian Priest. Given that Priest previously sidelined McIntyre, with the support of his allies, McIntyre is now poised to retaliate and reclaim a coveted title from “The Archer of Infamy.”
Further drama is anticipated as the group sets its sights on a weakened Judgement Day faction, with Dominik Mysterio potentially suffering a brutal Claymore and two of WWE’s biggest titles consolidating under Rollins’ Dangerous Alliance. The faction’s dominance now threatens to alter the balance of power within the organization.
Alternative possible additions were also considered in fantasy discussions, with Becky Lynch—a notable champion and Rollins’ wife—highlighted as someone who could further enable the group to dominate multiple divisions. Austin Theory, eyeing independence from Grayson Waller, is also seen as a potential long-term asset for the future of the faction and WWE as a whole.
Seth Rollins’ new Dangerous Alliance has shifted WWE’s competitive field, setting the stage for high-stakes confrontations and new rivalries following their bold statement at SummerSlam. The presence of key competitors like Bron, Bronson, and Drew McIntyre, along with strategic guidance from Paul Heyman, positions this alliance as a force capable of shaping the organization’s future, inviting both admiration and outrage throughout the WWE universe.
