In Portland RAW burns off another fireworks display just before the PPV TLC.The Shield will be the show, but he’s a bit of a draw at the Main Event.Kane’s back in touch.
At the start of the show in Portland, General Manager Angle addressed the impatient crowd with a few words.He was quickly interrupted by The Shield, who for the first time in three and a half years showed their joint entrance through the crowd of fans towards the ring.The cheering was almost boundless.
When The Miz, Braun Strowman, Cesaro and Sheamus came to the ring, it quickly became clear what would become the central theme of the evening: the upcoming handicap match at TLC between The Shield and the quartet of superstars around Awesome One.
The Miz explained in his own format that The Shield had once announced that he could stand up to five opponents.Thus the Awesome One wanted to announce a fifth member, but was interrupted by Angle.He started a steel cage match between Strowman and Roman Reigns.
The GM also banned all other actors in the feud for the duration of the fight and made it clear:”If Strowman wins, The Miz will get his demanded additional fight.Should Reigns win, however, Strowman would be excluded from TLC.
Again Fox had to accept a defeat against The Boss and was angry afterwards.While Banks backstage gave an interview, she was attacked from behind by her former rival, it came to the Brawl.Banks flew against several objects.
When a referee tried to separate the ladies, Fox threw him out of the way.Only three of them were able to separate the two divas.Fox has probably secured her rematch for TLC – at least she has submitted a solid application.
Amore started in the ring a Rant against the WWE and GM Angle, which brought Kalisto into the ring.The champion explained to his rival that he couldn’t find any excuses at TLC.Suddenly, however, Noam Dar, Tony Nese, Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari attacked from behind.
Surprisingly, they didn’t attack Amore but Kalisto.When Mustafa Ali, who last week had been responsible for Amore’s defeat, wanted to hurry to help, he was also the victim of a beatdown.
In the Steel Cage, Reigns seemed to have no chance against the Monster Among Men for a long time.The Shield fighter, however, returned to the duel and was actually on the verge of victory.But when Reigns had almost left the cage, Cesaro and Sheamus stormed to the ring.Ambrose and Rollins also intervened, of course, to clear the way out of the ring for reigns.
Strowman, however, recovered from the delay and pulled his rival back into the cage.Cesaro and Sheamus lured Ambrose and Rollins out of the hall and were locked out by The Miz.With good reason: Reigns remained trapped in the cage with Strowman.But when he gained the upper hand again, the music of Kane suddenly sounded.
The fighter did not reach the ring via the ramp, but climbed directly from the ground into the cage.There he gave Reigns a Chokeslam.Subsequently, Strowman and Kane alternated between their opponents, while The announced that Kane would be part of the TLC tag team.
