In the significant level of chaos stemming from the main event match at TLC, Braun Strowman has turned babyface, which reportedly set up a couple of feuds for the next few months. Leading up to the match, Roman Reigns was forced to be out of the main event due to medical reasons. Raw General Manager Kurt Angle stepped in as an honorary member of The Shield, ending an over 11-year hiatus of competing in a WWE ring. Backstage during the pay-per-view, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose handed Angle a vest, inviting him to enter the ring with them. This further built the anticipation of Angle’s return, as fans cheered heavily for this segment.
