The Shield, Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre In-Ring Segment: 

There is only one way to describe what happened to The Shield last week. Strowman, Ziggler, McIntyre and the entire Raw locker room feast on their bloody carcasses. The only reason Roman Reigns still has the Universal Championship around his waist is because he’s a coward and cannot handle business on his own. Reigns has his hounds of justice, he has his dogs of war. The Shield has been running rampant around here for too long. Last week, they found out that their strength in numbers failed against his pack.

Everybody around the ring made a difficult choice and stood up to The Shield and their bullying tactics. Can you feel that? The balance of power has shifted. Now they are in control and are running wild. Tonight, they will continue the carnage. They will set an example for you when they destroy The B Team in their tag title rematch. Strowman can’t wait to get his hands on Hell in a Cell. The Shield arrives and lays out the calvary.

Triple H Promo: 

The night after SummerSlam, Triple H said that the era was back. That through mutual respect he would face The Undertaker one last time in Melbourne.The legends came out and gave their thoughts on the match. Then there were polls about who would win the match and most people picked The Undertaker. That’s to be expected, it’s not like The Undertaker has ever been the underdog. At this level, those predictions and opinions shouldn’t get to you. That was until Shawn Michaels gave his opinion. It bothered one man so much.

It’s almost laughable that the Undertaker was bothered by Shawn Michaels’ opinion. He does not get it. Undertaker was so rattled that he had to make an appearance in the ring. Taker accused Shawn of being bitter and made threats. That confrontation made HHH mad. It seemed like the Undertaker lost respect for him. It wasn’t the case. Taker lost respect for himself. Taker wasn’t man enough to say this to Triple H’s face. After the four WrestleMania classics, Taker was never truly the same. Things would go down hill. The mystique would go away. All Taker has now is a reputation. Taker blames them for his demise. This is a personal issue now. At WWE Super Show Down, Triple H will put Undertaker down.
