It was heartening to see the Shield’s presence in such a big way on the show and even more glad to see that they find themselves involved in the main-event scene. Just when I thought they may be relegated to lower card status, The Shield were involved in 3 segments on RAW and never looked out of place in any of them. Roman Reigns’s spear is still the difference-making move and while superstars can hope to tackle them as individuals, their dominance as a unit is unquestioned.
As henchmen for the powers above, Brad Maddox pitted them first against Dolph Ziggler, who was game for a while before going down to the Shield. Later they took on the Big Show, who looked like he was going to beat them, but got taken out too. To underline their dominance, they even managed to triple powerbomb the giant, in an impressive display of strength and cohesiveness. The Shield also decimated Daniel Bryan before feeding him to the corporate authorities in the main-event, and gained massive heat throughout the night for their actions.
