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.

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.

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.

SmackDown Live

The show opens with Renee Young in the ring with a table. She welcomes us to the show and lets us know this will be a contract signing for the Women's Championship match.

Renee tries to get things going, but Bliss cuts her off and says she and Becky can take it from here. She mocks Renee's fashion sense before telling her to take off.
Alexa calls Becky a coward who isn't smart enough to put a plan together to beat her and the only reason she is still champion is because the ref didn't see her foot on the rope during their last encounter.
Becky compares Bliss to one of her cousins who is only four years old. Bliss calls the crowd rude for cheering at the insult.
Lynch signs the contract while Alexa makes fun of her for being optimistic and nice all the time. Becky calls herself a honey badger for some reason.
Bliss tells Becky there will always be someone better, and she is that person for Lynch. She uses some Irish stereotypes to insult the champ before signing the contract.
Becky ends up taking a shot at Bliss first and the two start brawling. I like seeing Becky take the first shot for once. She hits the Bexploder and then puts Bliss in the corner for some kicks to the body.
She clears off the table and sets it up near the corner. She puts Bliss on the top rope, but Alexa shoves her off and Becky crashes through the table.

Kalisto and Dolph Ziggler vs. Baron Corbin and The Miz
Winners by DQ: Dolph Ziggler and Kalisto

Carmella is out! She gives a promo directed at Nikki and John Cena. The crowd chants How You Doin', and she says she will be doing a lot better once she leaves town to get the crowd to boo instead of cheer.
She apologizes to Cena for what she is going to do to Nikki at TLC, saying she is going to pop Nikki's implants and mess up her face so bad she won't want to get married anymore. Nikki runs down to the ring and spears her to the mat.
The ref tries to break them up, but they keep fighting. Carmella takes a cheap shot while the ref is restraining Nikki, but Bella gets back up and beats Carmella until she retreats up the ramp.

Ambrose Asylum with the guest James Ellsworth
Ellsworth asks if there is ever anything he can do for Ambrose and Dean gives him a bunch of random chores like picking up snacks and washing his car, but he is being kind of sarcastic.
AJ Styles eventually comes down with the same disgusted look on his face he has every time he sees Ellsworth. He says Ellsworth is nothing more than a prop being used to insult him.
He compares Ellsworth to a ventriloquist dummy, so Ambrose says AJ lost to a dummy three times.
Styles demands respect, and says if Ambrose won't give it to him, he will beat it out of him on Sunday.

He dares Ellsworth to show up on Sunday to see what happens to him. He shoves Ambrose into Ellsworth and then throws the little guy into the chairs set up on top of a table.
He takes Ambrose out of the ring and throws him into the steel steps before dropping the top half on top of him. He gets back in the ring and Ellsworth is standing there to face him.
Styles easily takes him down before grabbing a ladder and dropping it across his back. He grabs a chair and hits James across the back really hard before picking him up for a Styles Clash from the bottom half of the steel steps down to the floor.

We see Ellsworth being loaded into an ambulance after the break while Ambrose keeps saying it's his fault. Ambrose gets in the ambulance with him as it drives away.

Kane vs. Luke Harper

Kane won

The Wyatt Family vs. American Alpha - winner will face Rhyno & Heath at TLC for the WWE Tag Titles
The Wyatt Family won and will face Rhyno & Heath Slater at TLC for the WWE Tag Titles

Rhyno, Slater and Styles are shown backstage and Styles insults the tag titles. Rhyno gets in his face, but then Ambrose comes out of nowhere and attacks Styles.
He beats the champ senseless for what he did to Ellsworth earlier in the show, all while Rhyno and Slater cheer him on. The show ends with Ambrose beating Styles to a pulp!

Rating 70/70

Great show and matches! I look forward to WWE TLC!
