Title This: WWE Raw Reaction 2-4-13

February 5, 2013

The Main Event

-Monday Night Raw ended with Brad Maddox getting assaulted by The Shield, and then John Cena, Ryback, and Sheamus coming through the crowd to confront them. They tried to escape through the entrance, but the WWE locker room came out and stopped them. All 6 men brawled in the ring, but The Shield escaped once again through the crowd before anything major happened. This looks to be a set up of a 6 man tag team match at Elimination Chamber.

Yes this was different, but still feels a little odd for me. Why can't The Shield be in matches once or twice. For three months, they had 1 match and have done the same attacks. I thought it was clever to see Cena, Ryback, and Sheamus come through the crowd. That was a nice touch, but this fell a little short for me in the ending. There was not a game-changing moment that ended the show, and was just another random fight before Ambrose, Reigns, and Rollins were able to escape. I think they are painting themselves in a corner for this 6 man match also. The Shield cannot lose, but three of your biggest faces cannot lose either, right? Also, we see Brad Maddox for a few weeks and then he is gone. You can obviously tell WWE Creative are not sure what to do with him, and that is frutrating. He is a guy that I am LOVING to HATE.
