WWE Payback 2013 Predictions



Kick-off Show Match: Damien Sandow vs Sheamus - I can honestly say that Sheamus bores me at the moment. Not taking any credit away from his ring-work which is solid but his character at the moment is just lost. He is way better as a heel, and as a babyface they barely have anything for him. I really think WWE should push Damien Sandow, He is really great. It's great to see Sandow getting the upper hand on Sheamus but Sadly come Sunday, All I see is him getting a Brogue Kick from Sheamus.


Winner: Sheamus




Divas Champion: Kaitlyn vs AJ Lee - I won't lie, I'm not really a big fan of Divas Division at the moment. The title barely gets defended and when It's defended It's for about 2 minutes so I'm justified to say Divas Division isn't Interesting. However, AJ is one or The one that actually makes It quite Interesting. She plays her psycho character very well and She does a great job at It. 


This match should've happend a long time ago, But I'm glad It's finally happening. The promo that AJ cut on Raw was fantastic & hyped their match Sunday. AJ is bound to win the Divas Champion since a long time and Kaitlyn barely defends It so I think AJ Lee will finally win.


Winner: AJ Lee (New Champ)




United States Championship: Dean Ambrose vs Kane - This match was randomly thrown away to the PPV on Raw. We've seen Shield vs Team Hell No a lot of time, So at least Kane vs Ambrose isn't all that bad. Dean Ambrose will finally bring some prestigious to the United States Title and Kane doesn't need It anyways, so I'm predicting Ambrose to beat Kane.


Winner: Dean Ambrose




Intercontinental Championship:  Wade Barrett vs The Miz vs Curtis Axel - Fandango was originally supposed to be part of this match Instead of Axel but because of Fandango's concussion, They added Axel to this match. The Miz won the Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania from Barrett and Lost It to Barrett the very next day on Raw - Wow great reign. Ever since then Barrett has been the champion and That title has been a curse to him. He has been getting buried every single week. Just like Dean Ambrose, I hope Curtis Axel wins this match which He will and make the IC Champion relevant again. PERFECT!


Winner: Curtis Axel (New Champ)



Tag Team Championship:  Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins vs Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan - After Randy Orton RKO'd Daniel Bryan on Smackdown, I thought It would be Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton at Payback but guess plans changed yet again. While everybody hopes for a Randy Orton heel turn, A Daniel Bryan heel turn is more likely as It was reported this week. Daniel Bryan can cost Orton this match or just leave during middle of the match because He believes that Orton thinks He is the "weakest link". 


Winner: Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins




World Heavyweight Championship: Dolph Ziggler vs Alberto Del Rio - This match has had no build up whatsoever Due to Dolph Ziggler's Injury. It didn't even feel like We had a World Heavyweight Champion anymore because Dolph was out for like 5 weeks. This match had no build up but Still I expect this match to be good. Both have really good chemistry and I'm expecting this to be the last time we see Del Rio in World Title picture in 2013. 


Winner: Dolph Ziggler




Chris Jericho vs CM Punk - There have been a lot of speculation about this match. Because 3 weeks ago During the Highlight Reel between Jericho and Heyman, Chris Jericho challenged CM Punk to a match and Paul Heyman behalf of CM Punk accepted the match. Then we've had a contract signing between Heyman and Jericho as well. So basically, WWE has been teasing Punk's return. I was expecting Curtis Axel to replace CM Punk in this match and face Jericho but now I doubt It since Axel has his own match Sunday. 


The question is will Punk return as a face or heel? Remember folks, Payback is in Chicago and Chicago loves CM Punk. That's just a fact. There is a chance that Punk won't even show up. Some websites reported this week that Chris Jericho is scheduled to turn heel at Payback. I think If CM Punk shows up and wrestles then I think they should have Lesnar come out and probably have a stare down with Punk that could set the feud for the Summer. Heyman could also cost Punk the match which will lead to a Punk face turn and Jericho heel turn as reported. If CM Punk shows up, I think He should win this match. After losing two matches to Rock, To Undertaker at WrestleMania, Punk must return and win. 


Winner: CM Punk




WWE Championship: John Cena vs Ryback (3 Stages of Hell) - The 3 Stages of Hell match returns for the first time in probably 3-4 years. I'm happy that It's returning but the stipulations like Lumberjack, Tables, Ambulance are really weak. You can almost guarantee that his match will go to the third fall, The Ambulance has been the big factor. Ryback's promos are awful but He has been Improving and has wrestled some good matches in the last few weeks.


Let me remind you, Ryback has not won a WWE pay-per-view match since Money In The Bank 2012. This feud hasn't been that great but It's far from terrible. I for one actually enjoyed Ryback vs John Cena match at Extreme Rules, The finish was a draw as expected but The match wasn't that bad. I've been saying for weeks that WWE turned Ryback heel at the wrong time, He needs a PPV win. John Cena has won the WWE Champion after nearly two years and I don't expect him to drop It this soon. I'm predicting Cena to win the Lumberjack, Ryback to win the Tables - Cena doesn't have to be pinned and Cena to put Ryback in the ambulance for the victory.



Winner: John Cena



The Summer is almost here and that's when WWE gets exciting. This is a new PPV name - Payback and while many people might not be Interested in It, I am. The Chicago crowd will really make the show entertaining. I'm expecting a few title changes - Divas Champion, IC Champion. These are all my Payback predictions, I usually get about almost all right. I apologize in advance for spoiling you with the matches, Enjoy the pay-per-view.
