At least the wrestling should be good??

Yeah. Rollins vs Joe and KO vs Y2J should be MOTN.

Reigns vs Strowman could be pretty good, too.

If they can measure up to the tag and Cruiserweight matches. :damn:

Those could be good, too, but can't say I'm too invested in them.

I don't really care about Aries vs Neville and it'll most likely have a screwy finish.

And I guess I'm mildly invested in the tag match because there might be a swerve with Sheamus and Cesaro turning heel and winning the gold.

From... Other places I've seen but mostly here, I can't remember a show people care about less than this one. Nobody's interested. Wonder why?? If we could sit through dog shit like TLC 2015, why is the fanbase so disinterested in Payback??

 

[InSaNe]

Looking forward to the Rollins/Joe match. That's gonna be good. I also want to see how Reigns does in his match.

Overall, this should be a good PPV, but I'm not expecting much.

Eh, I guess it's due to the underwhelming build this year.

Things are supposed to be red-hot after Mania with guys and gals getting called up, as well as starting some fresh feuds and things were indeed hot on post-WM shows, but after that, instead of keeping things interesting, it's like they got uninteresting quickly.

I mean, post-Mania RAW episode was very good, but things have been kinda lackluster after that. Not downright bad or anything, 'cause the show's had some good moments over the past few weeks, but it also felt like going through the motions.

So, Idk. I wasn't particularly excited about WM, but the show ended up being a good one. So, I guess that may be the case with Payback, too.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Missed Enzo & Cass vs Gallows & Anderson, but I just watched MizTV and it was a pretty solid segment.
