WWE Payback Preview

Payback has always been a good PPV because it's literally the payoff show for everything that went down at Mania, but this one is a little weird because of the superstar shake up the other week. We have Wyatt and Orton fighting a Smackdown match. Owens and Jericho fighting to see who takes the US Title to Smackdown. It just has a real feel. I think over the next month we're gunna see a lot of development with various new feuds and rising stars as we truly move into 2017 for the WWE. But before moving ahead, let's check out tonight's card.

Kick-Off Show

Miz TV featuring Finn Balor

A lot of talk about this becoming a match. If so, there's no way Finn loses a clean one. The Miz is the top contender for Ambrose's Intercontinental Championship so maybe this is a way for Finn to get himself into the title scene as well. If they do fight..

Prediction: Finn Balor


Enzo & Cass vs. Gallows & Anderson

In a match up that will likely decide the next contenders for the Hardy's championship. Gallows and Anderson had their title run so I think it's time to give Enzo and Cass their first real shot. Hopefully for a fun match with the Hardy Boyz.

Prediction: Enzo & Cass



Main Card

Neville (c) vs. Austin Aries -- Cruiserweight Championship

These two had what was arguably the match of the night at Mania and are sure to repeat that success again. It's a hard call on whether Neville can win again or if Aries can get that win that has been expected since his huge return. Neville has been an unreal heel champion and losing a highly competitive match won't hurt Aries at all.

Prediction: Neville retains


The Hardy Boyz (c) vs. Sheasaro -- Raw Tag Team Championships

Sheamus and Cesaro have really pulled it together as a team as of late, but it's far too early to take the titles off of the Hardys, especially to what is still a makeshift tag team. Save it for a full time team and then bring back the Broken gimmick.

Prediction: Hardys retain


Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe

It was a surprise to many that Joe didn't interfere in the Mania match, but now we're finally getting the payoff we've been waiting for since Joe injured Rollins' knee. I don't think Rollins will immediately compete with Lesnar for the title so we might be seeing this rivalry for a bit. That's why I think Samoa Joe might actually squash Rollins tonight. Could be a little bold but Rollins' new finisher sucks and even though he's my homie I gotta put him on the bench for one PPV.

Prediction: Samoa Joe


Kevin Owens (c) vs. Chris Jericho -- United States Championship

The winner of this match goes to Smackdown with the title. It's known that Jericho is leaving soon. Owens is better and has more of a reason to win and become a face of Smackdown. Easy.

Prediction: Kevin Owens retains


Bayley (c) vs. Alexa Bliss -- Raw Women's Championship

Alexa Bliss is actually my girlfriend and I'm sick and tired of Bayley and Sasha Banks cutting promos about their childhood dreams. They have nice stories and all, but I couldn't be more done with those two if I tried. Bliss kills everybody on the mic and was an unreal champ on Smackdown. Get this shit off of Bayley and give it to someone who will give it life.

Prediction: Alexa Bliss


Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt -- House of Horrors Match

Maybe I'm just behind, but I have no fucking clue what this match is. At the last second they're changing this to a non title match which makes me think Wyatt could win this. I was honestly shocked by his loss at Mania and hate how he can never get that one win he needs to get over. Yeah, he was the champ but did that really feel like it was enough? Give him the win then send him to Raw to run shit at the top and that'll start with him beating Dean Ambrose in his first feud on the red brand.

Prediction: Bray Wyatt


Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman

Roman Reigns actually beat Strowman clean -- which was bullshit -- so Braun responded by beating the everliving shit out of Reigns and cracking his ribs and separating his shoulder in the biggest ass kicking I've ever seen as a WWE fan. I mean, he literally flipped the guys ambulance on his side. With Roman recovering just in time for the match, he has the injury excuse to fall back on for a loss, which allows Braun to get his win back and Roman to lose without looking bad. One of these guys SHOULD be moving on to face Lesnar who we haven't seen in forever..

Prediction: Braun Strowman
