#3 The Shield returns!
Yes, seeing Kurt Angle wrestle at TLC was an unexpected treat...but at the end of the day, it just papered over the cracks left by Roman Reigns' last-minute withdrawal.
Angle may have worn the signature black vest of the Shield and entered the arena through the crowd with Rollins and Ambrose...but the whole shindig still felt pretty incomplete without Roman Reigns.
And while the match itself was a 100 mph, breakneck affair, it still felt rather arbitrarily pieced together to give the babyfaces the victory, while still protecting the WWE's second-most valuable commodity in Braun Strowman.
But the fact remains that the WWE had already built up an expectation for the Shield's return at TLC and - as evinced by Rollins and Ambrose still donning their vests on Raw - that feeling hasn't subsided yet.
But all is not lost.
The WWE can still capitalise on the Shield's reunion by having Roman Reigns return from an illness on SmackDown Live - flanked by Ambrose and Rollins, of course - and run roughshod over the Blue brand's roster.
It would give everyone the payoff that they were denied at TLC with respect to the Shield and advance the Survivor Series storyline with a bang.
Bayley gives us a HUGE update on a top Superstar's upcoming return RIGHT HERE.
