We kick off the show with Stephanie McMahon, who is quickly interrupted by Shane McMahon (who actually has a reason to control RAW now). The two bicker about how they are both in charge of RAW (poor SmackDown), and Stephanie gives Shane a gift; the picture Vince destroyed about a month ago on RAW (nice throwback). Shane thanks her, and they both go back and forth trying to have each other say their ideas. Before Shane can say his ideas, Kevin Owens interrupts. He decides to tell them his idea, which is that he should have a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship, which he is guaranteed. Cesaro is out next, blaming Owens for losing his Intercontinental Championship match last night. Shane decides that Cesaro and Owens will face off in a #1 Contenders match for the Intercontinental Championship. Wait, didn't they do this exact thing like three weeks ago? THE NEW ERA, EVERYBODY! Cesaro vs Kevin Owens-#1 Contenders Match- Miz is on commentary for this match. Cesaro kicks o...

By the way, nice edit on that yellow poster, WWE! There was definitely nothing under "When it Reigns", and it certainly wasn't "It Bores".   Well, Payback is in the books (in the pocket, out of sight) and it was definitely...a show. Yeah...it was just a show. Here are my thoughts on Payback last night. Pre-Show Dolph Ziggler def. Baron Corbin "Hey, how do you build a new guy up to be a star?" Simple, by making him lose clean his first pay-per-view singles match. Even better, you bump his match to the pre-show. That'll get people interested! Corbin battered Ziggler for the majority of the match, including an alley-oop into the ring post on the outside. However, Ziggler ended up rolling up Corbin for the win. This makes no sense whatsoever. Why have the new guy who could very well be one of the next top heels on the main roster do the job in his first pay-per-view singles match to arguably the most directionless wrestler WWE has right now ...

After a pretty disapointing WrestleMania, it's Payback time!...even though only one of the matches on the card is a WrestleMania rematch...and it's on the pre-show. Anyway, with 8 matches on the card and four guys on the poster who don't have a match on the card, here are my predictions for Payback 2016 Pre Show 1. Kalisto (c) vs Ryback-United States Championship Winner: Ryback In the only rematch on the card, Kalisto defends the United States Championship against the Big Guy Ryback. Kalisto retained the title at WrestleMania, and these two have done literally done nothing since. I'm going with Ryback for the win just because the last time they fought on Smackdown (on Smackdown...) Ryback got the win. Main Card 1. Dolph Ziggler vs Baron Corbin Winner: Baron Corbin Since Baron Corbin made his debut on the RAW after WrestleMania, he has been beating the piss out of Dolph Ziggler...a lot. So it's only natural that the two face off at Payback. Corbin ...

Well this is super late. But let's not dwell on it, here are my thoughts on last week's NXT. By the way, we are still at WrestleMania Axxess Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady vs American Alpha- The crowd is already going insane for this match before it even starts, chanting "This is Awesome" right at the start of the match. Gable and Enzo start and Gable takes control by taking Enzo to the ground. Gable shows off how fast he is, easily working Enzo over with quick reversals, transitions, and roll ups. American Alpha take turns working over Enzo with holds and wrestling takedowns until Enzo grabs the ropes off an Irish whip and makes the tag to Big Cass, who steps in the ring before the commercial break. We come back with Cass scoop slamming Enzo onto Jason Jordan for a two count. American Alpha quickly regain control, however, after a big arm drag by Gable. After a nasty looking head-to-head collision between Enzo and Gable, Enzo tags in Cass, who works over Gable....

We kick off with Shane McMahon. I'm sorry, did I just hallucinate the entire time WrestleMania 32 happened. Shane must have won at WrestleMania because he's been in charge for the last month. I could've sworn Shane lost at WrestleMania to the Undertaker. I guess not. Shane says he still here because of the fans, and Payback is the first pay-per-view of a new era. Outcomes Stephanie McMahon to a lot of boos. Stephanie says Shane is pandering to the fans and compliments the fans because she might be a heel, but she needs to be liked by the fans too. Shane says she took the air out of the room, and Stephanie says Shane should recognize her importance. She says this is Shane's last night running RAW, and says that Vince will decide who runs RAW at Payback. Stephanie says Vince is too smart to listen to the fans, but Shane says he wouldn't be on RAW if he didn't listen. Shane tells her to leave, but she says she isn't leaving the ring. Since he's still i...

Long before NXT was the developmental branch for WWE, it was Ohio Valley Wrestling. Founded in 1997 by Nightmare Danny Davis, OVW sereved as WWE's farm territory from 2000 until 2008 when it was replaced by Florida Championship Wrestling. During it's partnership with WWE, it created some of WWE's future biggest stars such as John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Randy Orton. It also featured future WWE tag teams such as MNM, Cryme Tyme, and Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins, who all held the OVW Southern Tag Team Championships. However, now that it's 2016, some of these teams sound weird in hindsight. Here are 7 OVW Tag Team Champions that might seem odd now. Eugene & Rob Conway I almost didn't include these two due to the fact that they were a tag team for years, but with the gimmicks they are best known for now, it was just too strange to not include. Eugene was the mentally challenged nephew of Eric Bischoff, while Conway was a typical narcissistic heel who lo...

Ladies and gentlemen...the worst match of 2015. Yes, this match had the dishonor of being named the Worst Match of the Year by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, and was completely panned by Dave Meltzer. The match was so bad, in fact, that Meltzer gave it MINUS. FIVE. STARS. The first match he's given that too since 1999. By his standards, this match is worse than That Jackie Gayda match, worse than Sting vs Jeff Hardy at Victory Road, and worse than Survivor Jenna's match. That's how bad this was for him. Coming from Mexico's AAA promotion, and from Triplemania XXIII, which got voted the Worst Major Wrestling Show of 2015, this is Los Villanos vs Los Psycho Circus. Right off the bat, and I mean as soon the match starts, there are already technical issues. You can barely hear commentator Matt Striker, which leaves you with Hugo Savinovich. I don't know if this was just an off night, but he was awful. He can't seem to get any lines off without stuttering a...
