At this moment, The Shield is performing without their third member; Roman Reigns being absent from the shows. Before the TLC PPV, The Big Dog of the WWE sidelined from in-ring competition due to a virus infection. It caused some big time changes in the upcoming televised matches and house show events.
The franchise player of the company was taken off from the UK tour of the WWE that began on November 1st onwards. We have seen Triple H joining The Shield to fill in the gap of his former Wrestlemania opponent. For numerous shows, The Game pitted in that particular role as a member of the Hounds of Justice until now.
The latest WWE house show hosted from Dortmund, Germany witnessed a brand new member for the Shield. It was none other than Samoa Joe who joined the team of Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in the absence of Triple H. It was the third name that was forced to team with the most popular faction in the WWE disregarding the storyline perspective.

The show has witnessed a big time tag team match that featured The New Day from Smackdown, as well. The trio competed in a triple threat tag team match against The Shield and The Bar. Cesaro had some sun in the contest with his swing move. In the middle of the match, Finn Balor and Samoa Joe joined the chaotic situation and helped the superstars from Raw to gain the upper hand.

Samoa Joe has returned to WWE Raw from an injury, last week and got inserted into the Survivor Series team of Raw via dominance outing for two consecutive Raw episodes. He is likely to be a great asset for the flagship brand at the PPV event.
