I just don't get the point of the reunion, it's gonna feel forced just cause.

its been done to sell tickets for TLC. it could of been done so much better and with a bit of surprise element to it. Instead they bacisally confirmed it last night.
So tonight miz tv is going to lead to Miztourage vs Shield at TLC. Cesaro and Seamus going to do something else. Have a bad feeling the crowd are going boo the shield as they knw its another case to get Roman over

Lord TSC

My big issue with that is we're going to have to expect Bo and Axel are capable of hanging with them? That match should be 30 seconds long...

It's an absolute cock up on WWE's part, just because the fans won't accept Reigns, so they come up with the wise of idea "oh let's reunite

The Shield

, they'll accept him then"..

But Old Man Vince is a stubborn son of a gun..

It's probably something to sell the next Raw PPV with.
They can't do Reigns vs Strowman again & I don't think Lesnar will be appearing at TLC.

"Yes we're so bereft of ideas, we'll reunite

The Shield

and you'll love it DAMN IT."

Thanks but no thanks. I'd rather they be remembered for what they accomplished in their 3 years rather than being used for Roman's benefit.

I'll do a one man riot if The Shield reunite to face Miz, Bo and Axel

The Shield is one of the biggest deals of the last 10/15 years, the proper way to have a Shield reunion to to have them save us from another real 3 man grouping with real top level credibility not Miz and his lackees

It's also something for Roman to do to maybe finally get him some cheers before conquering the beast at Wrestlemania because that's surely happening now

Exactly what should be done. I wouldnt mind if Miz had maybe joined up with say the Revival or Cesaro/Sheamus to go up against the Shield then it would make the match more interesting and believable.

They literally have no match that could main event a ppv now bar the one nobody wants. With all the Raw main events that wasted matches I can't think of who Roman or Lesnar could feud with next that wouldn't be a big step down from beating Cena & Braun.

PTH2009

Can see Reigns a beating here and you can guess who will come and save him ???

Oh Christ it's happening miztourage vs Sheild by is Reigns talking like a rapper

PTH2009

So Jason Jordon is Jeff Hardys replacement

H&J I like it

J. Marston

Reigns says "Bruh."

My hate for him has increased hundredfold.

Heck if they could somehow find a reason to get the Uso's on that match, that would have been cool. I know different brand, but **** it be better than The Shield v The Miz and his geeks.

Could they go down the route of the Miz getting to pick 2 partners to face the shield and it's doesn't pick his lackees and goes for someone like Sheamus/Cesaro or even call upon an NXT team like AOP???

They could, but I suspect that idea makes to much sense for creative:p

PTH2009

Guess Braun doesn't like Curt Hawkins

And Dean Ambrose answers the challenge

Lord TSC

I don't think I've ever been so pessimistic about the next month of Raw, in terms of the creative direction....

Make that 6-7 months, it looks like we already know the raw main event at WM, so everything between now and then is pointless.

It would be like Cena and Rock vs Miz and R-Truth.

Jerichoholic

Did they not beat them in a handicap match a few weeks ago? And only now they need Roman?

Lord TSC

The Bullet Club "invaded" Raw last night...

Good stuff.

Finn moves from a feud with Bray to Goldust back to Bray that would have been downward spiral to a release in years gone by moving into that feud.



He would have been much better off been Matt Hardy's tag team partner considering they have been doing house shows together over the last while.

Well judging by the end of the Goldust match Bray once again started playing mind games with Finn.

So it looks like that feud is continuing. Not only do they give Bray sh!te feuds but they drag the arse out of them.

Lord TSC

One thing I will say positive.

I loved Neville during his promo. Maybe not the content, but his mannerisms and such were top level.

This can't be said enough - never in the history of professional wrestling has a guy been pushed to the degree that Reigns has, despite pretty much every metric showing that he's not the guy.

Never. Not one guy has been pushed like this.

Vince pre-owning American wrestling would have even given up 2 years ago.

Let's look at what they've tried..

He's kept strong as fúck as the mysterious, kick-ass Samoan in the Shield.
He gets to keep the cool music when they split AND continues to come to the ring through the fans.
He sets the record for most eliminations in a single Rumble.
He wins the Rumble the next year, while being endorsed by The Rock.
He fights toe-to-toe with Lesnar, arguably the company's biggest attraction, in the WM main event, and only loses to an all-time great cash-in.
He gets into a feud with HHH, the d boss who becomes champion, with the d wife. He beats him for the title, while giving Steph comeuppance (which nobody ever gets to do).
He gets to take out Vince at one stage too.
He beats Undertaker at Wrestlemania, in what is likely to be his last match.
He beats Cena in a 'passing of the torch' match.

They have used every trick imaginable to give the guy credibility, and to give the fans a reason to get behind him.

It will never happen Vince. You blew it. Just move on. It's not going to happen.

Add a possible Shield reunion to this fúcking list.

Just as we thought we were finally finished with the Bray and Finn feud it looks like it's set to continue … oh god could creative really do with some new ideas

And what is up with Roman Reigns getting an intercontinental title match next week ?! Reigns looks set to probably lose this because of the help of miztourage, there is no way he will lose clean as it would just make him look weak and it's too obvious that we are now going to have Shield Vs Miztourage at TLC next month.

Mickie James Vs Alexa should be good. They cut a decent promo last night and I know we've had this match over on Smackdown Live! But at least it's better than Sasha Banks Vs Alexa for the upteenth time.

Also looks like we are heading for a feud between Sasha and Bayley with Sasha turning heel (again). Although is she a better heel than face with her gimmick.

I thought when Braun Strowman called out for a match that it would be Vs Finn as he just said he wanted his universal championship back - sets them up for a no.1 contenders match next week. Although we all have to guess that Brock isn't losing the championship until Wrestlemania when he fights Roman.

I don't really care about the cruiserweights but I thought since they compete on Raw aswell as 205 that Kurt would make a rematch for the title after the way that Enzo won it. As for Enzo Jesus he does my head in.

As for Cesaro I thought that his teeth got knocked out not that they got pushed up into his gum - I could only feel the pain after the amount of work I've had done on my teeth therefore he has even more of my respect for continuing to fight on Sunday as the pain must have been unimaginable. It's one thing to fight with your teeth knocked out its another for them to be pushed up into your gum.

Jeff out injured for a while now meaning Matt will be in the midcard singles action maybe go after the intercontinental title as I don't see Roman Reigns getting it next week.

J. Marston

Enzo is so annoying but that was a really good heel promo last night.

Also, Mickie looked amazing.

Neil3030

Wouldn't have hurt to get more of the Cruiserweights involved in the physical stuff lastnight, instead of watching on like chumps.

Agent Coulson

I would have loved to have seen Braun destroy all the Cruiserweights.


I could just picture 5/6 of the hanging off him as he spins around throwing them off.
