6 ways WWE could book The Shield vs The Miz, Cesaro, Sheamus and Braun Strowman at WWE TLC 2017

#3 The numbers game wins

Perhaps The Shield reformed to lose?

Now, let's take a look at the flipside of that equation. After all, it is a 3 vs 4 handicap match. The Shield is just getting back into the swing of things so there could be some miscommunication as a unit and the opposition has that giant X-factor being Braun Strowman.

"The Monster Among Men" could take out Dean Ambrose with some sick spot like a running powerslam through a ladder to leave the Lunatic Fringe out of commission. Kane could only add the the numbers game by making sure none of The Hounds Of Justice stands a chance at retaliation.

Then The Bar could put Rollins through a table, leaving The Miz and his Miztourage to lay waste to Reigns with steel chairs. After that, The Miz could hit a Skull Crushing Finale on Reigns and score the win.

This might be an unlikely scenario because WWE probably wants The Shield to look as strong as possible so they can sell more merchandise. But if this is the start of something longer, a loss might give The Hounds of Justice a reason to continue feuding with these heels
