It was earlier reported that WWE creative team is bringing back The Shield back to put them into the main event of WWE TLC. They did need a big match to sell out the PPV in the absence of the reigning Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar. Even the marquee player, John Cena is also unavailable for the PPV.
So, there was no better way to bring back the attention to the flagship show of the company and probably the last Raw-exclusive PPV of the year on October 22nd. The reunion of the most popular faction in the sports entertainment left the world talking about it. So, the Raw general manager wasted no time to announce a blockbuster match for the TLC PPV.
The Miz was quite angry after getting victimized by The Shield on the opening segment of WWE Raw. He was receiving medical attention at the backstage area when Kurt Angle walked out to give him the good news that he will be part of the main event of WWE TLC event, as well.
It will be Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins teaming up after three long years to take on the team of The Miz, Sheamus, and Cesaro. Also, this match was made a TLC match which means the weapons, Tables, Ladders, and Chairs will be legal to use for this match. We can expect absolute chaos during this contest under a No-Disqualification capacity.

But, the match was later altered once Braun Strowman wanted to get a shot to the Shield, as well. He fell victim to assault to the Hounds of Justice as the trio put him through the announce table placed on the ramp.

So, Kurt Angle put the behemoth into the main event of WWE TLC, as well. Now, it will be a 4-on-3 handicap match with the numbers game in favour of The Miz and Co. The Intercontinental Champion was quite happy to learn about the alteration of the match where the monster among men will be his partner.
