WWE Catchup

So the TLC (Tables, Ladders, and Chairs) PPV was last night. The new heel (bad guy) stable is called the Shield. They were in a 3 on 3 match with Kane, Daniel Bryan, and Ryback. Tonight, Ric Flair showed up to announce the WWE wrestler of the year award. It was awarded to John Cena (I wasn't surprised) so, of course, CM Punk came out and got into a verbal sparring match with Flair. Punk is on crutches after having knee surgery so he says, "I could kick your ass with one leg." Flair marched down to the ring and lured Punk in. Punk broke a crutch over Flair's back. Flair then put a thumb in Punk's eye and Punk bailed. Flair put Paul Heyman (the walrus) into a figure four leglock, which is Flair's signature move. When he released Heyman, the Shield appeared in the crowd, like they always do. They came down as Raw went to commercial. As the show resumed, Kane and Daniel Bryan had come down to the ring to help Flair. The Shield got the upper hand and was clearing the announcer table to put Flair through it. About the time that Flair was going to be put through it, Ryback made the save. He demolished the Shield and, with Kane and Daniel Bryan, Flair was hoisted onto the shoulders of Kane and Ryback to the cheers of the live audience. WHAT A WELL-SCRIPTED sequence! It put Flair over as the hero and it made Kane, Bryan, and Ryback as the new dominant current face team.
