WWE Payback PPV predictions!

Hello there. WWE-Fanblog returns after a long absence because of account-issues. What better day to return on, than the day WWE presents us a brand new themed ppv named Payback. The name of this PPV says it all. Wrestlers revisits old feuds, or continue/ends on going feuds, which makes this ppv interesting. Most likely this ppv will end 4 or 5 feuds, which gives us the possibility of a fresh start for the summer.

This time I will give you my predictions of each match tonight. Use the comment-section or twitter to tell us your predictions.

@Hjo_4life's predictions

(Pre-Show) Damion Sandow vs Sheamus (Non-title match)
Good to see Sandow getting a more high-profile feud. Though Sandow has won most of his matches lately, I could not see Sheamus lose this one. The truth is that WWE want's to build Sheamus as a possible contender for The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Then he can't lose matches like this. Though I think its going to be a short match that ends with a brogue kick.

Winner
Sheamus


1) Kaitlyn vs AJ Lee (Divas-title match)
This feud could have been better, but it is good to see that WWE is trying to make the divas division more relevant again. The past couple months they have given the divas more spotlight on Raw and Smackdown, and coming this July E! presents a brand new "Totally Divas" reality show, which will give them more spotlight. This match is tricky, but I think AJ Lee will score a dirty win. Kaitlyn has been stale as the champ, and she is missing the passion she showed before she won the title.

Winner
AJ Lee


2) Dean Ambrose vs Kane (US-title match)
These two competitors has a long history together. This was the only way WWE could split up Team Hell No, by giving each one of them different title-shots. Though this is going to be a good match, I think that Dean Ambrose will regain his title either by DQ-decision or a dirty win.

Winner
Kane wins by DQ (Ambrose keeps his title)


3) The Shield vs Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan (Tag-team titles match)
Orton and Bryan has something going on against each other. This match is only a part of a bigger storyline where either Daniel Bryan or Randy Orton makes a heel-turn. Expect this match to be one of the best matches of the night, but don't think for a second that The Shield will lose their titles.

Winner
The Shield


4) Wade Barrett vs The Miz vs Curtis Axel (IC-title match)
This match was put together only a week ago. Originally Fandango was supposed to be in this feud, but his concussion put an end for that. Though Curtis Axel has the abilities to make up for his loss. Expect this to be a really solid 12 min triple-treat match where the rising star Axel takes home the win. Axel is 7-0 so far in his career, and I believe he will continue his undefeated streak for a while.

Winner
Curtis Axel


5) Dolph Ziggler vs Alberto Del Rio (WHC-title match)
Ziggler returned from an injury this Monday on Raw. After finally getting the main-event spot that he has deserved for a long time now, Ziggler got unlucky and suffered a concussion by the hands of Jack Swagger. Though the fact that Ziggler still holds the title after being away for 5 weeks, tells us that WWE has faith in him. This match could go two different directions. The first direction is that Ziggler retains his title by DQ or a count-out, which will set up yet another match against Del Rio at Money In The Bank. Or the other direction of this match is that Ziggler takes home a dirty win by pinfall, which takes Del Rio out of the title-picture for a while. Hopefully WWE decides to go with direction number two, because personally I feel that Del Rio has become a stale babyface lately, and I think he has been in the title-picture for to long now. Give the shot to someone else, and give the champ a fresh and entertaining feud for the summer.

Winner
Dolph Ziggler


6) Cm Punk vs Chris Jericho (Non-title match)
This is the match I am most excited about tonight. Yes we have seen these two battling it out a lot of times before, but not under these conditions. At Extreme Rules in 2012 these two had an epic match in the same arena that they are competing in tonight. Yes this is not the first time Cm Punk battles Chris Jericho in front of his home crowd. But this time Cm Punk returns from a 9 week absence, which makes it so exciting for us fans. We now that the Chicago crowd is one of the best crowds in the world, which they proved at Money In The Bank 2011, when Cm Punk fought John Cena in one of WWE's greatest matches of all time. This match will steal the show, and it will be remembered for a long time. The atmosphere will go trough the roof when Cm Punk makes his epic return in front of his lovely home crowd.

Winner
Cm Punk


7) John Cena vs Ryback (WWE-title match)
These two stole the show at Extreme Rules after an epic 24 minute last man standing battle. All those who doubted in Ryback as main-event material was proven wrong at Extreme Rules. This time they will battle it out in a 3-stages of hell match. I expect this one to be as good as the last one, but sadly enough Ryback will lose yet another PPV-match. There is no way that WWE will strip Cena for the title so early in his run. I actually believe that Cena will hold on to the title for almost a year or so. But expect Ryback to come out as a strong loser. This is the only way he will not lose any credibility. But also expect Ryback to be cheered in this match, considering that Cena is known to get a hostile reaction from the Chicago crowd.

Winner
John Cena



Conclusion
This show will be solid. You have some high profile matches, but most importantly a lot of rising stars get their shot to shine in the spotlight in front of a great Chicago crowd. Expect Cm Punk and Chris Jericho to steal the show.


Anyway, enjoy this epic Cm Punk match as a way to build your excitement for his return tonight:
