6 Ups & 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 20)

5. Moving Pieces

The Shield Miz Miztourage

While not even close to the best content that the segment has produced over the years, last night's MizTV with Roman Reigns and the rest of The Shield was functional, from the moment 'The A-Lister' sarcastically put the trio over all the way through to their assault on Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.

Being the most obnoxious heel in WWE, Miz, of course, took full credit for The Shield's reunion. The two sides bantered back-and-forth, leading to the faces pushing Miz a little too far, and Reigns' eventual Intercontinental Title challenge for later in the evening. The match was made official, a beatdown ensued, and that was that.

The ensuing bout wasn't great. Reigns and Miz spent a lot of time stalling, and things didn't really heat up until Sheamus and Cesaro arrived to pull a distraction, but it was a perfectly acceptable TV main event. Sure, Roman taking The Miz's gold will likely boil the blood of his detractors, but it's not like WWE were doing anything with him as champion anyway.

If anything, get mad about the torture that'll be Roman's upcoming push, not Miz dropping the belt.
