They’re not seriously going to do this, are they?

WWE isn’t seriously going to burn a Shield in-ring reunion on a six-man match against the Miztourage at TLC, are they? The seeds were sown Monday night when Miz, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel mocked Roman Reigns during Miz TV about riding Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins’ coattails in the Shield and said the trio would not have lasted if the Miztourage was around five years ago.

And then after Reigns beat Miz, the three men decimated Roman with steel chairs, culminating in a Skull-Crushing Finale on a chair and the three mocking the Shield fistbump overtop a prone Big Dog.

It all but screamed Shield reunion, and the use of steel chairs with the TLC PPV next month seemed to strongly hint that it was coming fast.

But burning a reunion on the Miztourage? Seriously? Sure, the effort was there with a convincing beatdown, but does anyone think Miz, Dallas and Axel are so tough that you need the Hounds of Justice to stop them?
