This story is mainly a solo redemption fic for Seth. The shield will be stronger than ever once they reunite. For now though, this story will be all about Seth's story and how he rediscovers his fighting spirit. I'm still new at this so you'll have to forgive me. Dean and Roman are still together and doing well. The story is rated T for language. Takes place after the breakup of the shield obviously.

Chapter 1: Redefine

Confusion.

That's the word Seth Rollins would describe himself right now.

He wasn't sure what to do with his career right now. It had been more than a year since the shield breakup and he still was figuring things out for himself. He still cared for his shield brothers and while he did want the best for his career, he wanted both Dean and Roman to have success as well. Which is why he was glad that their feud was over for now and now they all could focus on every wrestler's goal.

The WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Seth was just sitting in his hotel room, deep in thought about his future at 11:30 at night with RAW starting tomorrow night.

How do I go towards my goal towards the championship? Seth thought. Where do I even start?

Seth was so lost in thought that he hadn't even looked at his phone notifying him that he received a text.

Seth was confused. Who would text him so late? It was almost midnight after all.

He looked at his phone and saw it was from the group text he shared with The New Day. If he remembered correctly, they were all on an anime binge after they got tired of playing games for a while. He smiled silently as they Big E and Kofi started arguing about which anime they thought was better.

Naruto is so much better than Dragon Ball Z. Naruto doesn't die and have to be revived every 30 episodes unlike Goku's stupid butt. Big E said.

At least it dosen't take Goku 40 episodes to learn a new technique. And be a total crybaby and chasing after someone like a damn Stalker. Kofi said.

Naruto is the GOAT anime how dare you even compare that Dragon Ball trash to Naruto. Hell even Boruto is better than anything Dragon Ball could make.

Bro, Yamcha could one shot Naruto and destroy anyone from Naruto without breaking a sweat. And Dragon Ball Evolution is better than Naruto. Hell, GT is better than Naruto.

You take that back!

No!

Yes!

No!

Yes!

Guys! Guys! Calm down those aren't the only anime around guys! Xavier said.

Seth was laughing by now and all his bitterness was now replaced with happiness. He was ready to put in his 2 cents before he decided to see what Xavier have to say.

You guys are leaving all the other classics: Yu Yu Hakusho, One Piece, Sailor Moon. And even the romance anime: Clannad, Kanon, Myself: Yourself. And the sports anime: Hajime No Ippo, Kuroko No Basket, Captain Tsubasa, One Outs and Ashita No Joe.

Seth's brows furrowed at that last one. Ashita No Joe? He binged watch all the ones mentioned with The New Day but that one. It peeped his curiosity. So he asked the group what it was about.

Guys if I can interrupt this little argument what was that last anime you mentioned Xavier?

He waited a moment before Xavier responded.

Ashita No Joe?

Seth sighed a little in mild annoyance before he responded.

Yes. Can you tell me what it's about please?

Seth had recognized the name as a popular boxing anime that he never got around to watch. It was a really old anime that was very popular in Japan. He vividly remembered the amount of statues and posters that Japan had all over the place when he was there last. Seth also remembered that he wanted to work on his punches and learn to knock people out in the ring. It would save time in fighting opponents and could help with his championship chase. No other way to improve his punches better than boxing.

As he was thinking this, Xavier responded.

It's about a guy who likes to fight basically. An old trainer recruits him to join. He doesn't want too at first but then he eventually decides to try it and he likes it. He's a natural. He develops punches that know everyone out. The guy is a total badass. His story is really incredible. I suggest you watch it Seth, you'll like this guy.

Seth was already looking it up and he was getting ready to binge watch it for the night. Maybe he could find something from this anime that he could use to help him. After all, Seth wanted to become a badass anyway. He was done talking and he just wanted to start winning and beating everyone. He wanted to be the best. So with that, he started to watch the anime.
