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

Another way to use Strowman would be to draft him into the bout itself.

With Brock Lesnar not advertised for TLC, a Universal Championship rematch looks unlikely - and there are not that many available opponents for Strowman to immediately move on to.

The match would be less valuable without a member of The Shield, but The Miztourage are not so well established that either Axel or Dallas would be dispensable in favour of Braun.

One of Miz’s cronies could be written out of the match through injury, or Miz could show just how intelligent he is by recruiting The Monster Among Men to his team for one night only, persuading him that there is no greater competition than The Hounds of Justice.

Inserting Strowman, who by this point would have beaten all three members of The Shield in singles competition, and is one of the most protected acts in WWE today, would cast serious doubt over whether the Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose reunion is to be a winning one.

An obstacle here is that, with none of the Universal, Intercontinental or Tag Team titles likely to be defended at TLC, the card may need a Strowman singles match to give it some depth.
