No because Miz is probably taking the fall and just because a team loses doesn't mean they are buried.

Because its a cynical attempt to get Roman over even though this is how it should have always been, Roman would way more of an actual star if the Shield remained a unit and he won the belt off Brock at Mania while Seth and Dean could have been IC/US or Tag Champs

It's okay to like things even if they came about for bad reasons. You don't need to be ashamed of liking the Shield.

Does it really matter what the result of this match is? This is the most throwaway PPV I've ever seen, WWE clearly just threw the Shield back together to have something to do while they stumble their way to the Royal Rumble so they'll actually start trying again.

If Roman Spears and flash pins Miz or Strowman powerslams and pins Ambrose while everybody else is brawling or laid out all over the place, like...who cares? There's nothing at stake, the whole point is to just enjoy the carnage and dudes getting powerbombed through stuff.

The heels should win to set up a 5 on 5 survivor series match. The shield could team up with Jordan and Hardy or Balor.

This is one of those things where neither side really needs to lose yet. So they'll book the match with fuckery like it protects somebody. So the heels will lose two PPVs in a row at least.

To me it's like...they started at the conclusion: Roman still can't get people behind him, so let's reunite :siren: The MOTHERFUCKING Shield! :siren:

Hmm let's take our biggest heel on Raw, which is somehow currently the loving Miz. Great he already has 2 lackeys so we can do a 3v3. Roman couldn't handle Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel by himself and he had to bring the shield, really, for these 3? That makes him look like a punk, so let's bring in The Bar because reasons. They were feuding with Ambrose/Rollins right? Hmm, the shield is still way too big of a deal for these guys? Uhh, Strowman, let's get you in there to make it 4v3, can the shield overcome the odds!?. Also, Kane?

If the heels lose clean I'd understand being annoyed. If they lose when there's dissention and somebody leaves, then who gives a gently caress?

That about sums it up, yep. I'm sure about that finish because it's a very obvious one and is an easy way to protect Braun which I'm 95%+ they'll want to do, assuming of course no one in the main is sick, which obviously fingers crossed, and the vast majority of the time, the storyline with cobbled together teams like this is that they don't get along.

Did anyone reputable report anything about the main possibly being impacted, or was it just conjecture somewhere?

We don't even know if Bray is for sure sick or if he's just being kept away from the roster as a precaution (since you can carry the virus without showing symptoms). I think the only thing we actually even know for sure is "Bo is sick."

Also I looked it up and viral meningitis is a lot less dangerous than bacterial and apparently typically cures itself in 7-10 days. The prognosis would probably also be good for super athletic young-ish adults like pro wrestlers.
