10 Things That Must Happen At WWE Payback 2017

wwe payback 2017

omFastlane, the last Raw-exclusive pay per view, was seen as one of WWE's weakest shows in a while - topped by that controversially short main event between Kevin Owens and Goldberg. The company's flagship brand sputtered into WrestleMania, and although it regained some momentum thanks to a good series of matches in Orlando (from the back-and-forth storytelling of KO vs. Jericho to the explosive return of the Hardy Boyz), few are convinced that Payback will represent a major improvement.

In terms of sheer workrate, Raw seems to be lagging considerably behind its blue cousin thanks to the 'superstar shakeup', which has seen names as talented as Zayn, Styles, Charlotte, Owens, and Nakamura gathered together on SmackDown. Yes, Raw may still have many of WWE's biggest stars, but it also carries its fair share of problems.

First of all, Payback looks to be a show bereft of Raw's top title, Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship. Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt are set to duke it out in a dubious 'House of Horrors' match, but nobody's quite sure whether the WWE Championship will be on the line - and if not, why not?

Nevertheless, Payback represents a chance for WWE to give the Raw brand a real shot in the arm. It may look like a slightly worrisome show in terms of storytelling, but several good match-ups have already been announced. The in-ring action should take care of itself, and with careful booking, the show could work out very well indeed.

The reality the tidy is as yet settling from WrestleMania 33 and the Superstar Shake-up implies that the midcard title exchanged to Raw is not protected at Payback, while rather SmackDown Live's United States Championship is on the card.

Four titles will be hanging in the balance, including what ought to be a fabulous Raw Women's Championship coordinate between Alexa Bliss and Bayley.

Be that as it may, will's identity the victors on the night? Here's a glance at a few forecasts for how every one of the champions slated to contend on the night will admission.

Neville versus Austin Aries (WWE Cruiserweight Championship)

Will Neville's new arrangement with an as of late turned heel TJ Perkins help him fix his grasp on WWE's Cruiserweight Championship?

It's been a solid keep running from Neville with the belt up until this point, yet most would agree his second meeting with Austin Aries could end up being his hardest test yet.

They had an extraordinary session at WrestleMania, which should have been on the primary show if WWE stays genuine about the cruiserweights being a critical piece of WWE's customizing.

Also, this challenge ought to be the same—aside from maybe the outcome.

Aries has been a fine expansion to the division, and he merits a keep running with the title. Seeing Neville transform into the seeker will just fortify his character's advancement, as well.

Champ: Austin Aries

The Hardy Boyz versus Cesaro and Sheamus (Raw Tag Team Championships)

Crude's label group division took a noteworthy curve at WrestleMania 33 when The Hardy Boyz returned and won the titles on their first night back with the organization.

Their first significant fight, be that as it may, has come as to some degree a shock. Instead of a conventional babyface/heel dynamic, WWE has picked to set The Hardy Boyz against another babyface side, Sheamus and Cesaro.

Can Raw's odd couple give a sufficient test to usurp Matt and Jeff and turn into the new lords of Monday evenings in the label division?

WATCH  THIS LIVE LINK

In truth, most likely not. It feels like there is a more relevant storyline blending for Sheamus and Cesaro, to maybe part and fight against each other in the weeks advancing.

Also, The Hardy Boyz ought to quarrel with a major group like Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson before they drop the straps.

Champs: The Hardy Boyz

Bayley versus Alexa Bliss

With no Universal Championship coordinate on the plan at Payback, WWE would be insightful to push Bayley versus Alexa Bliss as the huge title episode of the entire show.

Delight has had an incredible effect since touching base on Raw, to such an extent that she was promptly pushed into conflict for the Raw Women's Championship inside a matter of weeks.

She practically stole the spotlight totally amid her time on SmackDown, and has rapidly developed into one of WWE's most vital female contenders on either appear.

Be that as it may, is presently the ideal time for Bayley to surrender the title? A fight with Sasha Banks appears to be consistent and to some degree inescapable sooner or later down the line, and it would bode well for it to be for the title.

Yet, Bliss shouldn't be kept out of the title picture for a really long time. Indeed, this could be the perfect time to give her the title.

Champ: Alexa Bliss

Kevin Owens versus Chris Jericho (United States Championship)

It might just be the early stages since WWE's Superstar Shake-up, yet Kevin Owens' exchange to SmackDown Live looks like being one of the most brilliant bits of business no matter how you look at it.

There is speculative positive thinking that Owens' open difficulties could turn into a general thing, much like John Cena did with the belt two or three years prior.

Furthermore, with an opening in the market for somebody to take the spotlight on the blue brand, Owens could turn into a significantly greater star than he is on the WWE scene.

So in that sense, his holding the United States Championship amid his match with Chris Jericho at Payback is one of the more clear reserving choices for this compensation per-see.

Jericho is practically sure to take some time off soon, so sticking the belt on him has neither rhyme nor reason.

Champ: Kevin Owens

WWE Payback {fits|complements|suits}
WWE Championship "House of Horrors" Match -- Rowdy Orton (c) vs. Bray Wyatt: The WrestleMania match was an utter {dissatisfaction|frustration|letdown}, so {in this|for the reason that|because} sense, it is good that the seven-month feud gets a conclusion here. What's {unusual is|odd is|peculiar is} the stipulation that the WWE title can switch brands if Wyatt, who moved to {Natural|Organic|Tender}, wins. That would leave SmackDown without a major title.
Roman Reigns {versus|compared to|as opposed to}. Braun Strowman: In the storyline, Reigns has a separated shoulder and {damaged|broke|broken} ribs from Strowman's {assault|strike|harm} on Raw. Yet {he is|your dog is|she has} going to recover {with time|over time|on time} for a match at Payback? Alrighty. Expect Strowman to go over here with a rematch {arranged|established|placed} for Extreme Rules on June 4.

Raw {Ladies|Can certainly|Could} Championship -- Bayley (c) vs. Alexa Bliss: The singles {make an impression on|conquer} Charlotte {Sparkle|Talent|Style} in her exit from Raw made Nia Jax look strong, and it seemed like she'd get the shot. Instead, {Happiness|Enjoyment|Satisfaction} won a fatal 4way match on Raw at the expense of Jax. The previous SmackDown {ladies|can certainly|could} champion {is constantly on the|continually|continue to be} get a major push from WWE.
Seth Rollins {versus|or} Samoa Joe: Many expected {Later on|May well|Paul} to interfere in Rollins' match with Triple {They would|L} at WrestleMania. Nope. That leaves this rivalry {conflicting|uncertain|unsure} after Joe reinjured Rollins' knee prior to the big show. Could see this going either way depending what the {authors|freelance writers|copy writers} want to do with Rollins while Brock Lesnar holds the universal {name|subject}.
United States Championship -- Kevin Owens (c) {versus|compared to|as opposed to}. Chris Jericho: Another SmackDown title being defended on a Raw PPV after Owens got moved to the Tuesday show.

There's been no {personality|figure|persona} work with these {men|fellas|folks} in {a couple weeks|fourteen days|2 weeks}, which leads one to believe WWE might be haggling over some rights with {Effect|Influence|Effects}.

WWE Payback potential {fits|complements|suits}
No universal championship match: It is shaping on with Brock Lesnar to not even defend the title on Payback considering Strowman, Reigns, Rollins, {Later on|May well|Paul} and Wyatt all have matches. Plus, they'll not throw Finn Balor to Lesnar for {a lead pages|a lead capture pages|a corn} this early, are they? {Which means|This means|Meaning} Lesnar {may well not|might not exactly} {protect|guard} the universal championship until Extreme Rules on {06|Summer|August} 4 -- two {weeks|a few months|several weeks} after he won it.

                                 KEVIN OWENS (C) VS. {BOB|PHILIP|FRANK} JERICHO

 {Usa|United states of america|Us} Championship
{Fifty percent|50 percent|1 / 2} a year ago, Owens and Jericho were best friends. Owens then {demonstrated|revealed|confirmed} his true colors in the lead-up to Fastlane, when he demolished Jericho and declared that this individual not needed anymore him.

We're likely to {acquire some|get some good|find some} kind of Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman match. On the Raw after WrestleMania, Braun confronted WWE Universal {Champ|Winner|Safe bet} Brock Lesnar and said that when Braun mashes Roman it will put Braun on Brock's {adnger zone|palpeur}. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a gimmick match of {some kind|some type}, such as Last Man Standing.

Seth Rollins {versus|or} Samoa {Later on is|May well is|Paul is} likely or in other words that it was supposed to have happened at Fastlane, but Rollins mucked up his knee before they {experienced|got|acquired} a chance.
