AT BANKERS LIFE FIELDHOUSE<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b>By Joey Galizia (@RamJam89), PWTorch contributor<\/h3>\n<h3><em>Announced by WWE<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>\u2022Miz TV with Cesaro &amp; Sheamus a\/k\/a The Bar<\/p>\n<h3>\u201c<i>OLD FRIENDS; NEW ENEMIES\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/i><\/h3>\n<p>Tonight Monday Night Raw returns to one of the most prolific incidents in recent WWE history: the break-up of The Shield. Since then each man has found massive success on their own, but it was never pretty. Seth found himself at the hands of the Authority, Dean had no one to turn to and fully embraced his lunacy, and Roman\u2026well Roman gonna Roman. So it only seems fitting that the hounds of justice would come together in the same city where it all fell apart as they prepare to thwart a new enemy. The Miz made headlines when he stated that he and his entourage could have defeated the Shield with ease back in the day and has used this delusion to take on Reigns in the last two weeks. I think we can all agree that out of all the challenges the Shield has faced in the past, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel don\u2019t top that list.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not where they\u2019re going. Instead, WWE has brilliantly woven Cesaro &amp; Sheamus into the mix and if I\u2019m being honest it\u2019s one of the few times this year that WWE has convinced me they made a correct decision. The Bar is anxious to reclaim their tag-team gold from the newly reunited Rollins &amp; Ambrose and they must see a path by teaming with the A-lister. We\u2019ll get a more direct answer tonight when the Europeans appear on the most must see talk show of all time\u2026MizTv.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201c<i>HIBERNATION\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><i><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/i>Since his triumph of Braun Strowman at\u00a0<i>No Mercy<\/i>Brock Lesnar has been enjoying some time off with is Universal Championship. He is scheduled to appear in the build-up for\u00a0<i>Survivor Series<\/i>\u00a0but until then he will await his next challenger. Who could that be? Most likely the Demon Finn Balor, or possibly another clash with that evil Samoan known as Joe. Either way, it\u2019s obvious that\u00a0<i>TLC<\/i>\u00a0is more focused on the full time roster, and of course the debut of a brand new conqueror. Who is that you may ask?<u><\/u><u><\/u><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<h3><i>\u201cNO&#8230; ONE&#8230; IS&#8230; READY\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/i><\/h3>\n<p>The women\u2019s division on the red-brand has been as inconsistent as I can remember in the last few years. They continue to progress the division forward by headlining Monday nights more regularly, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that they\u2019re stealing the show every time. Current champion Alexa Bliss has now run into relic known as Mickey James, who earned a title shot in two weeks by defeating Nia Jax via disqualification. (I\u2019m just as confused as you are.) Meanwhile, Sasha Banks and Bayley have started to work in tandem as a tag-team and keeping their friendship strong. (I don\u2019t even care about a heel turn anymore since there were far better opportunities for them to do it in the past.) None of this really matters. In two weeks, the main roster will finally feel the impact of Asuka. Will she be making an appearance on television before then? I have no idea, but that anticipation is enough for me to tune into the USA network. I can see them keeping it as a surprise, but eventually we will find out who her opponent(s) will be, and I just feel terribly bad for that person(s).<u><\/u><u><\/u><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/p>\n<h3><i>\u201cA NEW SIGNING OF A DUDE WHO\u2019S ALREADY BEEN IN THE WWE FOR YEARS\u201d<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/i><\/h3>\n<p>-If you\u2019ve been a constant reader of these primers you\u2019ll recall that I \u201ctry\u201d to create an interesting tagline for each segment, but it just seems silly to me to try to rationalize any of the recent direction that the Cruiserweight Division has taken. Enzo Amore is by far one of the best talkers in the company, but his strengths on the mic do not match his ineptness inside the ring. Better yet, General Manager Kurt Angle introduced a \u201cnew\u201d member to the purple brand&#8230; Kalisto. I\u2019m VERY happy about this because Kalisto honestly should have been apart of the 205 team from the very beginning, but his addition came at an odd time of the show, and it sure as hell didn\u2019t seem like the WWE Universe missed him too much. Hopefully he can make us remember why we liked him in the first place. Either way, it\u2019s obvious that the former Lucha Dragon will be challenging for the strap in two weeks.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>-Elias continues to get the best of every member of Titus WorldWide. Expect the drifter to bring those sweet guitar playing skills to Indy tonight.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>-Bray Wyatt may be done with Finn Balor, but apparently Sister Abagail isn\u2019t. The Eater of Worlds continues to stalk the Demon King, and now he\u2019s promised that the full extent of the mysterious woman he\u2019s always preached about will be making a debut. OH WELL.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-790273277\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Jeff Hardy may be injured, but brother Matt has found a new superstar to align with. He and Jason Jordan have been butting heads with the Good Brothers Gallows &amp; Anderson. With each team scoring a victory a piece, will a rubber match be coming?<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Interesting that not too much has been announced. Does this mean we end with another cruiserweight segment? Guess you\u2019ll have to tune in to find out.
