Results, Review, Recap of WWE Payback 2015
Tonight was the annual WWE Payback pay-per-view and there was indeed some payback involved. There was some great matches and the crowd was pretty hot tonight was well. Before I begin with my thoughts here are the results:
-Pre-Show- RTruth defeated Stardust
-Pre-Show- The Ascension defeated Damien Sandow/Curtis Axel
-Sheamus defeated Dolph Ziggler
-The New Day defeated Cesaro/Tyson Kidd in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship
-Bray Wyatt defeated Ryback
-John Cena defeated Rusev in an I Quit Match to retain the WWE United States Champion
-Tamina/Naomi defeated The Bella Twins.
-Neville defeated King Barrett by Count Out.
-Seth Rollins defeated Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns in a Fatal Four Way to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Some of the things I didn’t like is that the parody of Sandow and Axel should be winning matches especially if they are mimicking two of the biggest legends in the history of the WWE. I also hope Cesaro and Tyson Kidd win the Tag Titles because their one time 63 day reign is not good enough for how great of a team they are. I really hate how Tamina keeps playing the sidekick for everyone. She’s good enough to be on her own and deserves to a shot to be on her own.
There really wasn’t a bad match on the card. I really think the Cena-Rusev match was the best of their trilogy this year. The tag title match was as good as advertised. The tag team division is beginning to take shape again with atleast 10 teams in the division at the moment. The Main Event Fatal Four Way Championship was great. There were a lot of dynamics with Kane, teasing The Shield and Orton being always being Orton. That was one of the best fatal four ways I have seen in quite sometime. Rollins walked away still champ but in the end everyone got their highlights.
It was a decent pay-per-view but I believe that WWE is having to many pay-per-views too close together. It doesn’t give much time to build up a great storyline and or major interest in a card. I know WWE is trying to plug the network as much as they can buy having to many pay-per-views is going to kill any interest fans might have. In two weeks time we will see the Elimination Chamber show, and two weeks after that it will be Money in the Bank. Hopefully WWE can do their best to build good stories and matches for the next four weeks. As for tonight, I will give it 6.5 out of 10. Great matches but nothing epic or unpredictable. Check back in two weeks for my thoughts on the Elimination Chamber. Until then I hope you enjoyed Payback.
