WWE ‘Payback’ Matches And Predictions: Will The Shield Reunite? Who Will Turn Heel or Face?
Even though Elimination Chamber is just two weeks away, Payback is just a couple days away and there is a full card on the books. It may have just had two matches last week, but there are a number of titles on the line now, and other matches to settle some grudges, so let’s check out the predictions.
Rumors persist that something big will happen in this match – Either Dean Ambrose is turning heel or The Shield is totally reuniting to join The Authority. Whatever does happen, Rollins is going to hold onto the title for a little while longer and likely lose it to a returning Brock Lesnar.
Winner and Still Champ: Seth Rollins
This may be where Lana finally turns full-on face, and it would likely drive Rusev even more insane. It’s hard to imagine Rusev losing yet again to John Cena, and WWE still trying to make him seem like a credible heel at all.
Winner and New Champ: Rusev
New Day just won the titles, and there will be a big chamber Tag Team Title match at Elimination Chamber, so they aren’t going to lose the titles. Ever since the face/heel double turn for these teams, they’ve gotten even bigger, and the momentum is truly with New Day with the titles.
Winner and Still Champs: The New Day
Neville’s been on a tear since arriving in WWE, and now here is a rematch from last month’s Extreme Rules. Only this time, he will be facing off with King Barrett and since he wasn’t given the Intercontinental Title yet, expect the King to get his win back.
Winner: King Barrett
Bray Wyatt has had virtually no direction in over a month, and the feud with Ryback is simply to give him something to do. It would make sense for Wyatt to be in chamber match for the Intercontinental Title in two weeks, and a reunited Wyatt Family tag team may even show up here to partner back up with their father.
Winner: Bray Wyatt
Extreme Rules showed these two having a really nice and violent match that ended with Sheamus having to succumb to his own stipulation. Still, he made Dolph Ziggler kiss his arse to save face, but the heel Irishman gets his win back here.
Winner: Sheamus
Obviously, they aren’t quite sure that putting the Divas Title on Naomi is a great idea just yet. It will probably go to Tamina soon though, and then she can go on to feud with Paige, who will be returning soon. Still, the heels will go over the Bellas here.
Winners: Naomi & Tamina
While their confrontation on Raw this past Monday was awful, the team of Macho Mandow and Curtis Axel “mania” still has possibilities. The Ascension has totally crashed and burned since hitting the main roster, and now they are on Kickoff and will lose to Axel and Mandow.
Winner: Mega Powers 2.0
Payback is looking to be a pretty good PPV even though the card was essentially all built this past week. With Elimination Chamber only two weeks away, WWE could have a semi-weak PPV and not worry about it. Let’s see what predictions end up coming true.
