My WWE Payback PPV

by: Connor Okey

My favorite wrestling event that I’ve ever been to was Money in the Bank 2011. To me, that was a perfect event where everything that happen was the right thing to happen. Other than the ladder matches & the great story that CM Punk gave the entire event, but it was the fact that it was in Chicago that made this event even more awesome. So with that being said, I’m excited for WWE Payback. I’ll be there live for the event, but for fun I’d like to take the time to write down a card that I would like to see. Of course this is what I would do if was Mr. McMahon.

Intercontinental Championship Match: The Miz v. Wade Barrett(c)
The Miz hasn’t had his rematch yet, so I would have this match start the show. A good back & forth match here. Wade Barrett’s run with the championship hasn’t been memorable to say the least. I would put the championship back on The Miz & allowing him to have a new program with a new challenger. I then would repackage Barrett. Maybe get him ready for money in the bank.
    winner: The Miz (new champion) - (10mins.)

Number 1 Contendership Tag Team Gauntlet Match: The Usos v. Tons of Funk v. The Prime Time Players v. Primo & Epico v. Team Rhodes Scholars
You can announce this match a week before the ppv, or it can be a special bonus match. It’s a nice way to get a lot of the talent on the ppv. For something different, I would have The Usos win this match. Have them start from number 1 to out last all the other tag teams. I’m a fan of The Usos & I wanna see them get there chance to put on some good matches. Plus I think they would work well with Rollins & Reigns of The Shield.
    winners: The Usos (number 1 contenders) - (15mins.)

Chris Jericho v. Fandango
The score card is 1 to 1. This would be the final match in this feud. Putting on another very good match, maybe a great match. Fandango would walk out with the win & moving onto feud with The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship. For Chris Jericho, id like to see a feud with Barrett, if it’s not time for him to take a break to tour with Fozzy. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for both wrestlers.
    winner: Fandango - (10mins.)

Divas Championship Match: AJ Lee v. Kaitlyn(c)
It’s time to take the championship off of Kaitlyn. It hasn’t been a bad run with the championship, but it hasn’t been good too. Nothing really stands out while she has been champion. On the other hand, AJ with the championship could be great. Id see Big E getting involved in this match & causing the secret admirer finally being revealed.
    winner: AJ Lee (new champion) - (8mins.)

Fatal 4 Way Number 1 Contendership Match: Sheamus v. Mark Henry v. Big Show v. Randy Orton
This match would set up the world championship match at Money in the Bank. Continuing the feuds between the two. This match would all come down to Orton & Sheamus, eventually gonna have a feud between the two. With an RKO out of nowhere, Orton would walk out with the win.
    winner: Randy Orton (number 1 contender) - (15mins.)

Triple Threat Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Jack Swagger v. Alberto Del Rio v. Dolph Ziggler(c)
I was really bummed that this match got cancelled from Extreme Rules, but I would have this match happen now at WWE Payback. Swagger would cost Del Rio his championship match on Smackdown. I would have each participants outside manager, valet, bodyguard or announcer get involved, but eventually sent to the back. I would have Del Rio “injury” Swagger, taking him off tv while his legal issue & possible suspension would finish up. After a hard hitting ladder match, Ziggler would be walking out still the world heavyweight champion.
    winner: Dolph Ziggler (still champion) - (25mins.)

“Winner’s Take All” Six-Man Tag Team Match for the United States & WWE Tag Team Championship: Kofi Kingston & Team Hell No v. The Shield(c)
Extreme Rule was highlighted by The Shield dominating & taking the championship. This go round its “winner’s take all” for both team. This would be an exciting & great match with lots of action. The Shield will cont. to dominate the WWE & retain their championship.
    winners: The Shield (still champions) - (18mins.)

Ambulance Match for the WWE Championship: Ryback v. John Cena(c)
I was really surprised how good there last man standing match at Extreme Rules went. An ambulance match is the only match that make since to do right now. Cena refused to leave the arena in an ambulance & Ryback wants to send Cena to the hospital, taking the WWE Championship as well. This match would have been an “I quit” match, but WWE had used that match last month. The ending of the match would have the surprise return of CM Punk. He would be in the ambulance & would attack both men. Punk would destroy both men & put them into the ambulance, ending the match in a no contest. Punk would walk away stealing the WWE Championship as well. This would set up a triple threat match at Money in the Bank.
    winner: No Contest - (20mins.)

This was a lot of fun to do. To think of these matches & to plan them out, even setting up some matches for the next WWE pay per view, Money in the Bank. I can’t wait to be in Chicago for WWE Payback. It would be awesome if WWE did one of these match, just so I could say I called it first, lol. But in Chicago, I know WWE will bring it’s A game for the best wrestling crowd around.
