Pretty strong show tonight. Loved seeing The Shield back in their old school attire, even though it's only been 3 years since they split and 5 years since they debuted, it felt surreal seeing it, like they stepped through a time machine. I noticed that their theme song after the Sierra intro, was still Roman's and not the original Shield music.
They ruined the Bray promo by changing the voice from last week. The Balor promo was hokey.
Kane was definitely a surprise! I thought for sure that he just wouldn't have the time to juggle wrestling and his mayor campaign, great to see him back finally!

Really cool that they wore the Shield gear. I guess anything can happen in the world wrestling federation. Wow I wasn't expecting Kane to come back. It's a good time to be a wrestling fan again. Why can't Ambrose be this good as a singles competitor? He really stood out on the mic again.

That Balor segment was terrible. Kudos to Finn for continuing to get some of the strongest pops of the night week in and week out when he's thrown in a garbage angle like this one that gets worse and worse every week.
Also, the Shield car-crash, I mean TLC match, is going to be fun, but the odds are stacked against them to the point of parody. It's completely comical. I'm half expecting Kurt to announce that the remainder of the Raw roster, half of Smackdown, and a third of NXT has been added to the match by Sunday.

Why can't Ambrose be this good as a singles competitor? He really stood out on the mic again. I feel that as a singles competitor, they want him to play up the “comical/wacky” character (likely due to those in charge not viewing him as a top guy). When he first went solo, he was a serious character. But over the years they’ve made him more and more “wacky” Dean Ambrose. Now that The Shield is back together, they seem to want him serious again. Corey Graves even made a comment along the lines of “he’s more focused now/you can see it in his eyes.” Once they split again I’m hoping they let him continue to play this version of his character.

Team Miz were brilliant.
Shield wearing SWAT again sucked, they look like utter dorks.
Enzo was phenomenal.
Finn and Bray need to take a vow of silence, permanently. The worst thing I've ever seen, really. It's the drizzling craps.

Kane coming back to avenge his brother I bet. That and he was also in the Shield debut TLC match. That's pretty cool if you ask me

Then I watched the 'Zo train right after. The man is a world class heel. He doesn't miss a beat. He was awesome. The way he baited out Ariya and got to beat them both down mob style was great.

One thing that annoyed me on RAW was the Shield using the old gear and music a week before the PPV, why not just wait? All three guys used their own theme songs for their respected matches, so why bother making them ruin the surprise a week early? Imagine the pop Sunday when the old theme hit and they walk through the crowd in their old gear. Would have been sick.

Them being in their own attires for RAW would have changed nothing about the show and it would have been something really special for the PPV. Also Roman looks a million times better in the old Shield gear than his does in his own gear.
