With The League of Nations by his side, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus seems unstoppable going into his Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match title defense at WWE TLC, but Roman Reigns has a squad of his own in The Usos and Dean Ambrose. What will transpire between these two warring factions on Raw?

1. #SquadGoals - After ensnaring the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Roman Reigns at Survivor Series, Sheamus has surrounded himself with Rusev, King Barrett and U.S. Champion Alberto Del Rio — The League of Nations — and used his cruel coalition to make The Big Dog suffer before their Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match at WWE TLC. On SmackDown, despite Reigns’ victory over The League of Nations in a 4-on-1 Handicap Match, Sheamus Brogue Kicked his unsuspecting challenger, leaving The Big Dog vulnerable to a post-match beatdown. However, The Usos and Dean Ambrose were quick to hit the scene and ward off The Celtic Warrior and his vicious allies. Will Reigns and his crew continue to bring the fight to Sheamus and his “lads” on Raw? Moreover, how will these two groups change the landscape of WWE TLC?

2. All in the family - Even though Bubba Ray & D-Von Dudley have recruited Tommy Dreamer to aid them in their campaign against The Wyatt Family, the trio of ECW Originals suffered the wrath of The Eater of Worlds’ flock on SmackDown — a kendo stick assault that culminated with Dreamer being driven through a table. The Dudley Boyz and The Innovator of Violence never back down from a challenge, and will no doubt be looking for some payback against The Wyatt Family on Raw. Will we see another “Extreme” collision between these unorthodox families, six nights before WWE TLC?

3. Face value - After suffering a frustrating defeat to Tyler Breeze on SmackDown, Neville was approached by The Miz. Shockingly, The A-Lister complimented the high-flyer’s “unique” look and in-ring potential, and expressed interest in giving the former NXT Champion some lessons in charisma. Will The Man That Gravity Forgot take the bearer of “The Moneymaker”up on his offer to serve as his mentor, or will Neville keep his distance, given The Miz’s notorious self-serving tendencies?

4. High anxiety for The New Day? - As WWE.com reported Thursday, The New Day will not only defend their WWE Tag Team Championship against both The Usos and The Lucha Dragons at WWE TLC, but they will do so in a high-risk Ladder Match. How will this added stipulation affect Kofi Kingston, Big E & Xavier Woods’ strategy as they put their titles on the line against two high-flying tag teams? Will the trio need to lean on Kingston’s extensive Money in the Bank Ladder Match experience, or are they already devising a way to bend the rules in their favor? Whatever happens next, you don’t want to miss what these three teams have in store for Raw, six nights removed from their steel-bending clash.

5. All’s Flair in love and war - We’re seeing a different side of Charlotte lately, and it’s not one that agrees with the Divas Champion’s longtime friend, Becky Lynch. On Raw, the daughter of two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair took a page out of her dad’s playbook when she feigned an injury to take Becky off her game and steal a victory over The Lass Kicker in what was supposed to be a friendly bout. Then, on SmackDown, a hot-headed Charlotte got Becky disqualified in her match with Brie Bella. Although Charlotte’s interference was in retaliation after Brie accidentally knocked the Divas Champion down at ringside, the second-generation Diva seemingly had no regard for how her actions would affect her friend. Are we now seeing the “real” Charlotte?

We've had pipebombs, movements and revolutions over the last few years and nothing ever really changed. Believe it when I see it!

Lord TSC

Alverez also said that "big changes" were planned for last week too, and manifested in the form of the LoN....

The amount of times may be is used in that article seems like it's a guestimate article more than anything else.

"significant creative changes"

I hate seeing obviously false hope. This probably means bring up some NXT talent but continue to book the same self-defeating, talent-squashing, 20 minute promo-cutting, overly scripted faff we always get. The structure of RAW will always remain the same, complete with the business decisions behind it. :( That's what needs to change, not the talent. Will WWE ever give midcarders a proper storyline? Can they focus on more than 3 storylines, giving us reams of pointless backstage segments? Please please, prove me wrong!

I think if all of us lads & Liz put our collective heads together, we could write a better, well paced, everybody gets their turn in the spotlight Raw than WWE's creative team.

Sound of Cena running down the stairs, out the door, into the car and driving off.

I pictured this with his own theme music coming on the cd player as soon as he turns the key. :pac:

There is speculation about WWE bringing another ECW star back to join The Dudley Boyz and Tommy Dreamer to face The Wyatt Family at TLC. Bubba Ray sent out a tweet, teasing that The Sandman would be appearing on tonight’s Raw

http://www.wrestlingnews.co/possible-spoiler-for-tonights-episode-of-wwe-monday-night-raw/

Stereomaniac

I would absolutely love it if we heard Motorhead's version of Enter Sandman come on and he came down through the crowd with a cigarette and a few cans. Probably won't have the music?

Somewhere in Stamford...

Vince: 'It's time to freshen things up around here. Revitalize business. And I know just what to do.'

Stephanie: 'You mean...?'

Vince: 'Yes. We're turning Big Show again.'

CastorTroy

"We'll make him face at the beginning of the show, then he'll come out to help Reigns at the end only to turn on him. No one will see that coming".

Just wait until they start referring to Ziggler and Breeze as Ziggler and the other Ziggler.

Has he ever turned twice on the same show?

5 mins in. Same old same old.

Hard to take the League Of Nations seriously when Reigns ran through them all already on Smackdown.

brianregan09

LON vs the Wyatts would have been different oh well here come the dudleys

SSSSSSSH no one watches smackdown really

den87

Thought they had something there and then.....they cut for commercial

johnnysmack

Are they wwe just throwing all their cards on the table in first 5 mins and hoping for the best!?

So its a 4 way, 4 man tag match as the main event tonight.

ricero

I remeber a time when multi man tag matches didnt close every raw

Could that even work?

johnnysmack

.....or right now!

J. Marston

WWE using the entire roster in the first 30 minutes.

Brave move, lets see if it pays off.

BMMachine

its a lot of fun though!
following this... The Bellas! cant wait....

den87

Leaves space for a few of the NXT lads to do a bit though. One can only dream

ricero

Its a bit silly and different but its totally disregarding the psychology at times during the first part of that match

brianregan09

The face off between Rhyno and Reigns was awesome, I want to see it , even though it would definitely be a horrible match

J. Marston

"Welcome to the Ambrose Asylum."

Cole's latest nauseating phrase.

Reigns v corbin now that would be one horrible match

BMMachine

for a minute there i thought Reigns couldnt do it but then he did do it and now I like him

RedemptionZ

Constant "what a way to kick off raw", they must be trying something or at least want to give the impression they're trying to spice it up.

ricero

So how is reigns getting screwed on sunday ?

Ladder to turn heel i reckon

Dunny

Not worth the bandwidth. Night folks.

johnnysmack

Those stardust/titus segments are starting to win me over.

Moneymaker

That final segment was absolutely excruciating. They have to give up on Reigns, but they won't, they'll keep shoving him down everyone's throats, everyone on the roster will constantly put him over in promos and he'll never get over.

Tater tots. My god. Vince is running his own company into the ground out of pride trying to prove he's right. It's absolute madness.
