Seth Rollins continues to "get knocked silly" until Wrestlemania, where he tells the others in a skit that he "had a vision and saw the light". Ambrose asks what he means by that, and Rollins tells him and Reigns to "just wait for later tonight."
Undertaker has his match against the designated opponent and almost loses, at which point the Shield runs out and beats down Taker's opponent to maintain the Streak. Rollins then gets on the mic and gushes about Taker showing them the true path to domination.
Reigns states Taker can live on in the WWE through the Shield by guiding them into the deepest depths of darkness. Ambrose asks Taker to be their mentor and corner man in witnessing the Shield's sacrifices to the Infinite Iniquity.
Taker then pauses in contemplation and then begins beating on the Shield, who then overpower the match-weary Undertaker and triple powerbomb him. Rollins asks Taker if he'll reconsider, and after a few moments of staring down the Shield while prone, he nods, extends a hand to the Shield, and is helped to the back by the trio.
The next Raw features the Shield introducing Taker, who proceeds to explain how the Shield earned his respect and reminded him of the edge he used to have as the Dark Lord... and that darkness again descends upon the WWE!
Undertaker renames the Shield as "The Soultakers" and adds a few additional members such as Bo Dallas and Ted Dibiase, who reluctantly join in hopes of gaining power after being decimated in brief feuds. They feud with Triple H by proxy while fighting upper-midcarders such as Team Hell No and Dolph Ziggler.
