He showed up on RAW this week claiming the same thing about "fame" & "entertainment" again to Vickie. She booked him vs Orton. He lost. The Shield destroyed Orton post match.

That's where we're at. If you were trolling me and well aware of Maddox then touche.

Hopefully this is a trigger for Ambrose/Bryan feud down the road. That'd make me watch some of WWE again.

Edit: Thanks. I really had no clue about that guy. I mean, I heard the name, but never bothered to find out something else.

Update from WrestleZone.com

WWE.com has updated the situation surrounding WWE Champion CM Punk, as it pertains to the knee surgery he underwent Tuesday afternoon.

It now appears as if Punk will no longer defend the WWE Championship at the upcoming TLC pay-per-view. Instead a six-man tag team match will replace the former ladder match main event. It will feature Ryback teaming up with the WWE Tag Team champions, Kane and Daniel Bryan, as they take on the Shield.

Unless they are given a match on next week's Monday Night Raw or Smackdown, their contest at TLC will mark the first ever WWE sanctioned match for the NXT trio of Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.

According to a letter supposedly written by Vince McMahon, the six-man match will still be a Tables, Ladders and Chairs contest, although for the first time ever it will be fought under pinfall and submission rules. The letter also says that Ryback is still in line for another WWE Championship match, and it will take place "in the very near future".

Here is the link to the letter:

One last thing, I wonder whether they will continue to wear their security outfits or if they will wear actual in ring gear.

I wonder when Ryback will get his title shot

Only if you have never seen them wrestle before. Ambrose in particular was working dark matches with other RAW members for the last 8 months. Too early for Reigns perhaps but Ambrose and Rollins have been doing this for years (and they've been damn good at it).

They're ready.

This new match does have potential to be really good but WWE have got to be careful with how they book this thing. They don't want the Shield to be killed off straight away from the bat but at the same time they have to keep Ryback's momentum going.


OMG seeing Ambrose acting completely psychotic at TLC

[heelguy95]

Seeing Ambrose being psychotic at TLC would satisfy me. However, someone mentioned they think the match will be a DQ finish.. how would that happen.. it doesn't make sense. I have a feeling that the babyfaces will crush and ruin The Shield, CM Punk will return and Rybitch will continue the feud..

CAN ANY OF YOU TELL HOW RYBITCH BEING IN THE MATCH MAKES IT FAIR?
If you're a fan of The Shield, how can this not urk you?

Maybe because they're heels, or because they've been attacking Ryback for weeks. How about the fact that they stood tall at SS and the following two episodes of Raw, or dominated a large majority of this weeks episode. Why wouldn't Ryback be included in this?

Ryback's in a feud with The Shield, it draws more attention to the alliance, and they get to wrestle their first match in a PPV main-event. This is a huge deal for Ambrose/Rollins (don't know much about Reigns), and I'm betting not one of them is sitting around mopping saying "Ugh, I hate Rybitch [clever, btw]. He shouldn't be in the match with us!". They're probably thinking "Holy shit! We just debuted and now we're wrestling the main-event of a PPV with the GOAT Daniel Bryan(!), veteran Kane, and an upcoming star Ryback."

The only issue is in the way the match is booked. If it's a hyper-competitive 15-20 minute match where it comes down to a one-on-one situation with Ryback and he pins one member - gravy. If Kane & Bryan are rendered useless because Ryback is destroying The Shield by himself - watered down gravy. One match isn't going to ruin The Shield, and if it does, it probably means that the 'E didn't have much planned for them in the first place.

Rollins should do something like hit Ryback with a chair from behind deep in the match, back off while Ryback is giving him the death stare, and yell "come on!" Calling Ryback out. Ryback will follow, Rollins will backtrack backstage, Reigns or Ambrose hit their finisher on Kane/Bryan, pin, the Shield and Ryback still look strong. Problem solved.

cause of Punk's injury and wanting him to rest for Royal Rumble. since Ryback is being the # 1 target of The Shield (and Kane & Bryan their 2nd & 3rd target) it would make sense for it those 3 against The Shield. If they had a match & Punk/Ryback still happened it probably be Orton/Hell No team, I am sure that would have been even with The Shield coming out with the victory
