Who wants some PAYBACK? ... Payback 2016 Thread
 

U.S. Champion Kalisto vs. Ryback (Kickoff Match)

No picture needed in this empty arena match rematch. Hopefully the crowd will be there in their DROVES ready for this barnstormer. In all honesty, I won't be watching this most likely, but their Wrestlemania match was much better than it had any right to be.

Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady vs. The Vaudevillains (WWE Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contenders’ Tournament Final)

Do not adjust your sets or network settings, yes this is an NXT match except they're on the full roster these days.

Dolph V Baron

When people thought of all the exciting talent in NXT Dolph could feud with, this dream match was top of everybodies list.

Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho

While the setup was silly, this could be a fun match and the promo work has been on fire,

Intercontinental Champion The Miz vs. Cesaro

The Swiss Superman came back as Zack Ryder died on the way back to his home planet and Cesaro looks to avenge him.

Kevin Owens Vs Sami Zayn

http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9...10052668ac.jpg

Likely going to be match of the night, but this has been brewing so nicely that the story is PERSONAL and actually had a nice build on Raw. Should be a lot of fun.

WWE Women's Champion Charlotte vs. Natalya

http://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9...79d616b614.jpg

Will Flair get busted open like he does in random airports now? What will Bret Hart rate the match out of 10? Oh, and two women fight also.

Mr. McMahon will announce who controls Raw at WWE Payback

Yay, an advertised promo as the semi-main event!

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles

https://49.media.tumblr.com/7691edae...4xr4o1_400.gif v http://giant.gfycat.com/DistantGrandioseIcelandgull.gif

Can AJ Styles do what only Daniel Bryan has done so far and carry Roman to a good singles match? Will Finn Balor reveal himself? The match will likely be shit, but maybe a fun storyline?

I might watch this tonight. Unless I don't. I might watch baseball, but then again I may not.

Hopefully they give THE RYBACK the US Title so we can have the summer of the RYBACK. It's what the people want.

P-BACK!

Has Ryback even been on TV since Wrestlemania.... I feel like I have not seen him at all....

And I have only seen Kallisto in the capacity of tag team competitor/Lucha Dragon.

Think Mr. Back has been on Smackdown and Superstars, but yeah, can't remember him on Raw.

THE RYBACK could make WWE great again but Vince is Roman Reigns sheep,,,,

Don't even remember him being on Smackdown, but maybe....

Yeah, I know feels like this is an unseen feud. Didn't see the WM match haven't seen them on Raw and probably won't watch this match either.

I see that my cable company finally added WWE Network..... but no one there on a Sunday to add it to my account if I wanted to subscribe to it....

When was the last good heel turn? What if Roman goes heel by having AJ's buddies help him get the win thus creating the Roman empire

Company tweeted @ somebody today that they should call if they want to add it to their account..... but you can't call because they are closed today and no one is there....

Seth turning on the Shield?

Had they not telegraphed shenanigans happening during the Bryan-Cena WWE title match, Triple H's turn and formation of the Authority would have been a lot more of a big moment as a heel turn.

Most importantly WHO GETS CONTROL OF RAW

I can't wait for Ryback and Kalisto to be over

Corey Graves in on fire on the kickoff panel.

Shit just got real between Booker and Corey. Wow!

Heel Lawler is noice.

Dolph Ziggler versus Baron Corbin bumped to the kickoff show.

It be great if they took belt off boreman

Turned on the pre-show.... Corbin fighting Ziggler..... first thing I hear is Mauro Ranallo.... ughhhh....

Happy Mauro is calling this. Makes it feel more like a big match.

Corbin push over!! Confirmed that he is in the doghouse and buried forever!!!

The devistating roll up takes another victim. RIP.

Has the US title match happen yet and was the only reason Corbin-Ziggy got bumped off the card was for Ziggy to win?

Way to heel it up Ryback

Ryback trolling hard already

Sami Zayn maybe the most "natural" speaker in the WWE right now.

I don't mean that his "content" is the best, but that just when he speaks, the way he talks sounds like he is just "natural".... like he is just a dude genuinely talking instead of "acting" or whatever....

Ryback so good right now

DA BIG GUY is coming out now. Probably needed more time for the McMahons.

OH SHIT, Ryback doing the It's Clobbering Time entrance.

Pre-Show Stopper on the weight belt, too. So meta

Hometown crowd for Kalisto.

Lol preshow stopper

Here we go baby

Crowd seems pretty good maybe

commercial

CAMP WWE TONIGHT!

A beatuiful hypoallergenic sexy dog...

Wtf

Sort of explains why he was pushed for so long now.

Oh shit

Magnum TA reference. Nice.

Its refreshing to hear moves called by their names

I really enjoyed their WM match, but this one is even better. They have some sort of odd chemistry.

Holy shit that avalanche military press was awesome.

US title Preshow Open Challenge was pretty good tonight.

Good match, but my stream died for the ending..... damn....

I was only able to see the last few minutes of this match, but it was definitely better than their Wrestlemania pre-pre-show match.

Kalisto vs Ryback was actually a great match. That was really good. I didn't expect that at all!

They have a good dynamic together.... now if only they actually had a real feud....

Also lol @ Corbin losing...the curse of the Andre Battle Royal continues...

Goodbye Renee clevage. I'll see you later.

Why was the Mr. McMahon plaque CG?

I hope they let Enzo and Cass say things other than the things that they always say

Well that was weird

PPV on the day before a public holiday and technically the last night of my honeymoon = me drinking beer and staying up late while the wife goes to bed alone.

That is how it's meant to work right?

6 big matches + an announcement on deck tonight at the first ppv of the NEW ERA in WWE


* AJ vs Roman

* Vaudevillains vs Enzo/Cass

* Natalya vs Charlotte

* Ambrose vs Jericho

* Zayn vs Owens

* Miz vs Cesaro

+ Vince McMahon announces who will control RAW

Don't diss Hey Arnold Cass. We'll have a falling out.

lol really dumb...

funny

Nxt Paybackover

This entire match/feud is really funny

Vaudevillains back to their more sinister theme.... Good....

WWE manages to still find ways to mess up the Vaudevillans intro every time.

Why did Jojo announce them? The guy that looks like Matt Bloom already did.

Feels like the Vaudevillains have "nowhere to go" after this match

Aiden English is whiter than Sheamus

Enzo just about got decapitated

Omg I just saw that Enzo rope thing....holy fuck.

Ouch at the way Enzo went out the ring.

Shit

Fuck...

Shit this looks serious.

Yikes

Fuckkkkkkkk

Hope this is some sort of weird story.....

Thought he was selling really well, fuck. The slow mo looked much worse. Hope he's just a bit knocked out.

fuck I hope he's ok

OMG Enzo!

I hope he is ok, yikes!!!!

Nah I think its legit

jesus

Willing to bet Simon Gotch gets in some kind of trouble for trying to pick him up off the floor.

What a bummer

Hope it isn't too serious and he can get back right away here....

Just throwing this out there. I have never seen somebody run to the ropes like that. With NXT and all these young guys getting called up, are they too green?

Replay made the accident look not as horrible as it was live. Legit thought he went neck first into the rope when it happened.

Really hope Enzo ends up being ok.

:(

That match gets 1/7 for that Gotch botch

i just caught one glimpse of it just turned the stream on. did he snap his neck back or hit his head?

Looked like he hit his chest on the middle rope when they did the slow-mo. Broken rib(s) maybe?

Yeah same, thought his neck got caught on the rope, but looks like it hit his forehead / side of his head...

Both, hit both ropes going out then his head on the floor.

Beard vs Beard up next

Maybe. He's been doing it for four years.

ouch

Yeah, that's what the slo-mo looked to me.... Chest/shoulder.... And then Cole saying "face first!" Right after showing that made me think it was an angle....

watching Kevin Owens get suplexed onto his neck onto a ladder and Sami Zayn getting powerbombed onto the apron seems bad after the Enzo injury

OMG

Sup all. Should be a good match!

Still, if you need a match to longer to fill time, this is the one.
