6 Ways To Make The Miztourage Appear A Threat To The Shield

2. Weaken The Opposition

The Miztourage’s chances of pulling off an upset victory would look marginally better on paper if The Hounds of Justice were not at full strength heading to Minnesota.

It is a widely-used booking trait to burden babyfaces with kayfabe injuries to stack the odds against them heading into a big match. It also makes the heels look smarter and stronger.

Ambrose and Rollins have both been booked in singles matches against Braun Strowman on RAW. The Monster Among Men could be used to batter and bruise the pair of former WWE champions, inflicting upon them injuries that would slightly even up the score at TLC. The Miztourage could also get in on the act with some opportunistic ambushes.

The Shield, or at least one of its members, being taped up and bandaged for the match would give The Miztourage areas to target with the weapons, in a classic heel tactic.

This would work as long as neither Rollins or Ambrose (clearly Reigns never would be) were written out of the match, as the money for WWE is in having all three of them together.
