To be fair, all three members of the League of Nations won their respective matches at TLC, but they then were completely decimated by a guy who had been put through several tables, beat with chairs and knocked off ladders. Roman Reigns went berserk after losing his latest WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, beating the stuffing out of Rusev, Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus with a steel chair. He waffled Sheamus presumably into unconsciousness, thus single-handedly rendering a faction with two champions meaningless. Seriously, the League of Nations really seems to only exist to provide a means for Sheamus to hold onto his title and cannon fodder for Reigns to beat up. Why should anyone fear this group when Roman has been able to either hold his own or even beat them when vastly outnumbered? Because they won a match somewhere else on the card? Because WWE says so? You cant ask fans to just accept that a group is like a bunch of Star Trek redshirts in one segment and then a dominant force in the next. It doesnt work that way.
