RAW

The show opens with a recap of The Shield's big reunion last week.

Kurt Angle comes out to kick off the show.
He welcomes everyone to the show and talks about The Shield getting back together.
The Shield surrounds the ring like they used to and Angle looks a little worried. They get in and circle the GM as the crowd chants "This is awesome." Angle asks if the crowd wants to hear from The Shield. They say yes and he hands the mic to Reigns. He tells Angle he has two choices, get out of their yard or get his butt kicked. Rollins tells him to take it easy and thanks Kurt for giving them the ring.
Each member of the group gives a little promo, ending with Ambrose daring their opponents for TLC to come down to the ring and fight them right now. Strowman's music hits and he comes out with The Bar and The Miztourage. Angle tells everyone to hold their horses and says this fight will wait until Sunday. He hypes Rollins and Ambrose vs. The Bar and Reigns vs. Strowman in a cage for tonight to end the segment.


Elias appears in the ring after the break with Anderson and Gallows sitting on either side of him. Elias says he found two good brothers to walk with him tonight. They sing a bad version of The Honky Tonk Man's music before Elias says his next song might be his best, He begins singing about Jason Jordan, with Anderson and Gallows calling him a nerd. Jordan's music interrupts about 30 seconds later and he comes out with Apollo Crews and Titus O'Neil.

MizTv with the guest of Braun Strowman
Miz talks about how they would have shattered The Shield into splinters had they fought earlier in the show. He predicts Sheamus and Cesaro will regain the tag titles. Cesaro talks with his mouthguard when it's time for him to talk, so a few words were hard to understand. When Sheamus starts talking, the crowd chants "You look stupid."
Strowman comes down and talks about how The Shield powerbombed him through the announce table last week because none of them can stop him on their own. The Miz tries to add Axel to his team at TLC, but Angle comes out and says he doesn't care what Ambrose said. It will remain a 4 on 3 match.
Angle tells Miz if he wants a fifth partner, Strowman has to win his cage match against Reigns tonight, but if Reigns wins, it becomes 3 on 3 and they lose Braun as a partner. Strowman accepts on behalf of his team. Angle says everyone will be banned from ringside during the tag title and cage matches so there are no shenanigans.

Alicia Fox vs. Sasha Banks
Sasha Banks won

Alicia Fox attacks Banks backstage during a post-match interview. Sasha gets in a few hits, but Foxy takes her out. A few officials try to drive her off and she goes bananas.

Enzo comes out he shows a replay of Kalisto defeating him for the Cruiserweight Championship. A lot of focus is put on Mustafa Ali pulling him out of the ring after he hit his finisher on Kalisto. 
Enzo calls Angle corrupt for putting him in a Lumberjack match when most of the cruiserweights had it out for him. He blames Ali for his loss. Kalisto comes out to offer a response. 
Ariya Daivari, Noam Dar, Tony Nese and Drew Gulak attack Kalisto from behind as Enzo is mocking him. Mustafa Ali's music hits and he runs down to make the save. He takes out Gulak and Nese in the aisle. He manages to overcome Dar and Daivari before Amore runs him down and everyone gangs up on him.

We see a replay of Bray Wyatt transforming into Sister Abigail last week
Finn Balor comes out to deliver a demonic message to sister Abigail 
Balor says he didn't know what to think when he saw Sister Abigail last week. He says Bray may have his own tricks, but so does he. He says he will fight with his own demon and we see him transform into the Demon before our eyes thanks to some editing and a close up of his face.

Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman in a Steel Cage Match w/ The Miz at commentary

The Miz leaves the commentary table to help Cesaro and Sheamus battle Rollins and Ambrose as they take the fight backstage. Miz ends up closing them in the parking garage so none of them can stop his plan.

Kane's music hits out of nowhere and the arena turns red. Reigns hits a Spear before Kane cuts his way through the ring and stares at Reigns. He grabs The Big Dog and delivers a Chokeslam. He and Strowman take turns hitting their biggest moves on Roman, including a Tombstone Piledriver. Braun finally pins him after a running powerslam.
