Braun Strowman then came out. He claimed he would have shattered the Shield tonight. He was upset that they put him through a table last week. He claimed they had to do it together because they couldn't do it one on one. He then promised to destroy the Shield. He promised that once Roman was in the cage with him, he would not be able to run away.
Miz began talking about the Shield again. He invited them to take on any number of people and he said he would agree. He tried to make the match at TLC a five guy match but Kurt Angle came out and interrupted it. Miz tried to convince Angle it was the best thing to do and the Shield had to prove it.
