Last week, we saw the return of the Shield. What will happen tonight as we are now less than a week until TLC. Tonight, Roman Reigns faces Braun Strowman in a steel cage.
We are in Portland, Oregon and your announcers are Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Booker T.
There are tables, ladders, and chairs on the stage because of Sunday.
Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring.
Kurt welcomes everyone to Raw. He says it is safe to say that the Shield is back together. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose will face Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, and Braun Strowman on Sunday, but Kurt says he wants to focus on tonight.
The Shield make their way through the crowd and they are in their vintage attire.
Roman takes the mic and he says when the Hounds come to the ring, you have two choices. You get out of their yard or they kick your ass.
Seth tells Roman to calm down and he says it feels good to be out here. It is amazing how things come full circle. Their first match was five years ago at TLC and they dominated. Every single night after that, when they were together, they dominated.
Then one day, that all went away. Seth says he is proud to stand here, five years later in this ring with his brothers because The Shield is back and better than ever.
Dean mentions tables, ladders, and chairs. Thousands of pounds of steel surround the ring. That is not why Miz, The Bar, and Braun Strowman should be afraid. The battle lines are drawn and they will be facing the masters. No one divides and conquers better than the Shield. There is no force on Earth more powerful than the Shield. Dean says maybe he got a little ahead of himself when he said they could face four, five, or six people, but he would say the same thing. They don't care. Dean tells them to come out so they can throw down in Portland.
Braun Strowman's music plays and he is joined by Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus, and Curtis Axel.
Kurt tells everyone that the TLC match will not happen tonight. Kurt tells Sheamus and Cesaro if they want their title match, don't move. He tells Braun Strowman if he wants his steel cage match, don't move.

Alexa Bliss stops by and she says she gets it. Asuka hasn't done anything. Emma started the women's revolution and she thanks Emma for that.
