Interesting day today. First off, The Shield lost on Smackdown. It's about time but I was hoping that it would take a real big super team or that they would at least wait until SummerSlam for The Undertaker to take revenge and defeat The Shield with his brother Kane. It just makes more sense to do it that way. The Shield losing is one of the biggest stories of this year for me. I think this will be the beginning of the end for The Shield.
I know, I'm probably overreacting but this summer will probably feature more of The Wyatt Family trio more than The Shield. What more can they do as a trio though? Maybe it's best that after SummerSlam they all go their separate ways and let Ambrose work his way up to the main event. It's going to be interesting to see how they handle these three going forward. Will the loss spell the end for the most dominant faction of the PG Era or will it only make them stronger? Time will tell.
WWE Payback is coming up this Sunday! June PPVs has been all over the place. Fatal Four Way, Capitol Punishment, No Way Out and now Payback. This is the start of the summer PPVs and maybe even the start of the big summer angle. The dirtsheets haven't reported it now but if the last three years are any indication, something big is going to happen. Maybe the angle is the Wyatt Family? Anyway, 7 matches on the card with ALL titles up for grabs. Who's going to walk out the big winners?
Ambrose defends his title against Kane. These two know each other well as they've been battling for close to a year now. This should be an interesting hard hitting contest. Ambrose has such a style when he wrestles. It probably won't be a long match but I see Ambrose getting up the victory with some kind of Shield interference. Ambrose retains.
AJ and Kaityln, believe it or not, is my most anticipated divas contest in recent history. Yeah I said or excuse me, typed it. Ever since AJ became #1 contender, I've been waiting to see this match. Here are two Divas that could help revive the dead division. It should be a fairly OK women's match. Since her BF Ziggler is World Champion, I think it would be cool to see her and him both holding belts. AJ finally wins the Divas Title.
Ziggler will face Del Rio in his return match and just like Ziggler's name implies, he's going to show off. It's his first match back since his concussion and 1st PPV title defense. That's kind of hard to believe but it's a fact. This should be one of the better matches of the night. Ziggler always goes over and beyond in his matches and this one will be no different. Del Rio is a good wrestler in his own right so I'm really looking forward to it. Ziggler's reign won't end just yet so he'll retain in one of the most entertaining matches of the night. Ziggler wins, showing off in the process.
Well Fandango's title reign might go to a different superstar. Fandango's loss might be Curtis Axel's gain as he is now the 3rd man in the Barrett/Miz IC Title match. I always thought Fandango would be the one to win the IC Title as to go with Austin's Twitter prediction for him. It looks like that will have to wait. I don't know if Axel is going to win the title just because of this concussion. Axel has been facing main eventers why would he get the IC Title? He should be facing Cena if they continue with that route. That being said, Barrett should retain and face Fandango down the line. Wade Barrett retains in an interesting match.
Reigns and Rollings defend their titles against the unlikely team of Orton and Bryan. This should be a fantastic tag match. This could be the upcoming turn of one of these main eventers. That will be the reason The Shield will retain but will it be Orton or Bryan? Orton has been jonsing for a heel turn for awhile now. It doesn't make sense to me to have all these heels but I digress. If Orton was to turn heel, then I would like to see a Sheamus/Orton feud down the line. Bryan turning heel is more likely as it has been hinted toward this whole storyline. Plus, it will go along with Bryan getting a push this summer against Cena. Whoever goes heel or if NO ONE turns heel, The Shield will retain. I still think The Brothers of Destruction will be the ones to end their reign. Shield wins in impressive fashion again.
The match I'm looking forward to most on this card. Punk's return match is against an opponent he knows well and has a good record against. This two have good chemistry and they will absolutely steal the show in Punk's hometown. Punk is rumored to have new entrance music coming in Sunday. He's going to be SO OVER on Sunday. I wonder if it will turn him face in the process? Anyway, Jericho NEEDS to win this match as he hasn't beaten Punk on PPV since his big return last January, but it just doesn't make sense to make Punk lose in his return match IN his hometown. Come on, who is the last person to lose their first match back on PPV? CM Punk wins in the best match of the night.
Cena and Ryback end their feud in a Three Stages of Hell match. It bores me to be honest and I want them to go their separate ways. I'm not saying they won't have a good match, I just don't like Ryback's generic big man heel. Cena will win and retain.
The big event of the summer is only two months away now and it's time to start thinking of the card. If reports are to be believed, Daniel Bryan and John Cena will be main eventing. WOW, that would be killer. I want to see the feud. Bryan deserves it and a short run with the belt would be awesome. In my opinion, I would LOVE to see Bryan/Cena at MITB and then Bryan/Punk/Cena at SummerSlam. Dream triple threat right there. Reports also suggest that Ambrose could be facing Mysterio and Reigns/Rollings could be facing Taker/Kane. This is a fantastic card right now if to be believed anyway but how many times have they reported a supposed match only for it to never happen. Always. Anyway, I would love to see that. Ziggler's opponent? Who knows? I'd like to see a rematch from last year's SummerSlam with Jericho. Just these matches alone make SummerSlam a must see. Let's see if they follow through.
Why are there no up and coming faces in WWE? When I say faces, I mean good guys. Where's the next John Cena? Why isn't there a young guy running through the top heels like Axel is doing the faces? There are WAY TOO MANY heels in WWE right now for them all to succeed. Just my opinion. I think that's something WWE is missing right now.
Alright that's it! Enjoy Payback everyone! And how about Final Fantasy XV, Dead Rising 3, Kingdom Hearts 3 and SUPER SMASH BROS WITH MEGA MAN! PLEASE GOD let the rumor be true that Pac Man is in the game and that Sonic is still in it. The ultimate Fatal Four Way, Mario, Mega Man, Pac Man and Sonic. So awesome. Anyway, stay classy!
