We return from the break and The Miz is in the ring, with Dallas and Axel in tow. The Miz welcomes us to his show and congratulates Baron Corbin on beating him last night. He says he gave Corbin his biggest night but his brush with greatness is over. His guest tonight is the man who led The Shield to victory over The New Day, Roman Reigns!
There’s no sign of Roman and Miz says this is unprofessional. He laments the lack of respect because Reigns is a no-show. He says his name again and waits, and after a while the music does hit but it’s all three members of The Shield!
They slowly get in the ring. The Miz and the Miztourage back up. Miz says Reigns is supposed to be his guest, not the entire Shield. Dean Ambrose says they’re feeling really good because they proved to The New Day and the entire world that they haven’t missed a step. Seth Rollins says they’re the most dominant three-man team in the history of WWE. The three of them standing out here are pretty much unstoppable. Miz disingenuously gives them props before saying something is bothering him. Miz hasn’t heard a “thank you.”
Reigns says there will never be a situation in this world where The Shield thanks The Miz. Miz says they need to understand that this reunion happened because of him. Miz puts his hand up, so in theory the crowd’s mouths should go shut, but that once again doesn’t work. If it weren’t for him, they would have never set aside their macho pride. The least he deserves is a “Thank you, Miz.” The Shield laughs while the crowd chants, “Thank you, Miz.” Miz says he needs to hear it from The Shield. Miz also deserves a check on the residuals for The Shield’s merchandise. A “YES” chant picks up. Rollins says Ambrose doesn’t have his checkbook on him. A loud “Miz is awesome” chant picks up, and Miz looks surprised. Reigns says he’s been all over the world and has never heard that chant before. Miz looks pleased. Reigns says Miz should be thanking Houston. Miz says he refuses to thank the crowd, and the lights go out. The power must have gotten knocked out but Miz shouts to put a spotlight on him. It isn’t long before it’s back on.
Miz says The Shield is ungrateful, but Reigns says they won last night. If anyone should be ungrateful, it should be the guy who lost last night. Miz says he’s the only who is a champion in the ring. Rollins says it’s only a matter of time before they get their hands on the RAW Tag Team Titles. Reigns says if they have the Tag Titles, he doesn’t want to be the only guy without a title in The Shield. Rollins says they’re not leaving him out since Miz has a title. A huge “YES” chant picks up. Reigns says he likes the title and asks for a title match. Reigns asks Houston how they feel, and they loudly cheer. Bo Dallas takes the microphone and says Reigns can’t just come on Miz TV and challenge the champ. If they want Miz, they have to go through them.
Ambrose says they totally forgot they have to go through The Miztourage. Reigns punches Dallas down, and Miz immediately runs away. Curtis Axel looks terrified in his neck brace. Axel begs them off, but Ambrose takes him down with Dirty Deeds. They then triple-team Dallas and hit a Triple Powerbomb. Miz just stands on the stage watching and looking scared.
We see a replay of earlier tonight when Kurt Angle interrupted Triple H and Stepahnie, which led to a match between Jason Jordan and Braun Strowman tonight.
Charly Caruso is backstage and she interviews Braun Strowman. She asks Braun what he has to say in regards to Jason Jordan saying he isn’t scared of him. Braun says good, because that makes Jordan different from everyone else. Including Triple H. Braun walks off.

Matt Hardy is in his locker room when Jason Jordan comes up to him. Jordan asks Hardy for any pointers on facing Braun Strowman. Hardy says he’s faced Mark Henry, Big Show, and Brock Lesnar, but they were men. Strowman is the “Monster Among Men.” It’s not a nickname; it’s a fact. Strowman’s strength is inhuman. It’s a humbling experience. Some nights just aren’t your night. Jordan wasn’t happy with that advice.

Alexa Bliss comes to the ring and we see a clip of her last night, from after her loss to Charlotte, when she looked very disappointed.
She says she saw everyone’s Tweets last night but she doesn’t want their pity, or short jokes. She says she knows how well she performed and she took Charlotte to her limit. Survivor Series may have not been her night but 2017 has been her year. She’s still the Goddess of WWE and there isn’t a woman on the planet who can hold a candle to her. Or is there…
Mickie calls Alexa biscuit butt and makes fun of her for the loss. Mickie doesn’t get to say much until Bayley’s music hits, and she comes out. There’s a smattering of boos for her. Bayley says she agrees with Alexa Bliss for the first time ever. 2017 has been Bliss’ year, but she’s not the same woman Bliss beat for the title. That championship belongs to her. Sasha Banks comes out and says the “A” show needs a Boss to represent it, and not a little “B” like Bliss. Alicia Fox then comes out acting quite bizarre. Fox says if RAW needs a boss as champion, maybe the “boss” of Team RAW should have that opportunity. RAW never would have defeated SmackDown Live two years in a row without her guidance. Bliss calls her “Captain Delusional.” Bliss says none of them deserve an opportunity and walks off.
Kurt Angle comes out to the stage and tells her to hold on. Angle says SmackDown proved they are not the “B” show last night, but RAW proved they are the show. She’ll prove herself as champion against the winner of a Fatal 4-Way match, which starts right now!
