I was all set to put up the graphic for Roman/AJ after it was set up on Monday, but there isn't one on WWE's website which pretty much ensures a change to that main event. Wouldn't be at all surprised if Triple H returned this Monday to insert himself into it and make it a triple threat, which of course will just ensure Roman gets booed even more mercilessly by the ultra-smarky Chicago crowd. :lol:

Anyhow, aside from the title match, I'd say it looks like we'll probably get...

Charlotte vs. Natty (potentially a third party added but wouldn't be shocked to see it go as a one on one with Natty bringing in Bret to counter Flair)
Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho
Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn
Wyatts vs. League of Nations
Dudleyz vs. Enzo & Cass

Plus New Day and Kalisto should be on the card in some capacity, which pretty much fills things out. Thoughts on these matches or others you think they may run instead?

I think its time to shake things up. Knowing WWE they won't. The only match that would actually excite me is owens vs zayn.

By looking at the possible card for Payback it could be better than Mania's card. Reigns/Styles could be really great, contrast of styles could be really be something interesting to watch. I said before since Cesaro is back he needs a big feud to have with someone. Put in Jericho and that feud could be money.

Skip the miss...

Styles goes for the forearm, Reigns catches him in midair with the spear

Yeah I don't see Styles winning the title right now, but who knows if WWE has a plan to give us three matches or so with these two. If that is the case, Styles will win the win World Title if they use that plan, if not Reigns doesn't keep that title till after Summerslam.

Roman beats AJ at Payback/Extreme Rules

Roman beats Ambrose at MITB and Battleground

Roman faces either Cena or Lesnar at Summerslam

I doubt they will put AJ up that far that soon. And, I doubt they will sit on Reigns/Cena until Summerslam. I can say this: Unless either Cena or Reigns goes heel, I dunno about any of you Reigns/Cena feud will be pretty boring. I still think Reigns is not strong enough with his microphone skills yet for this. I just don't think that they have enough hands for the main event built up.

So, AJ they need to start prepping him for an main event spot, as well as get Cena back in there (despite the fact I am tired of seeing the same old same from Cena). I been at a point for awhile now where I'm like, come on this just isn't good product. I mean, I'm gonna be really critical and I mean some of you or people can be okay with the product, I still think they are just not giving us a good product.

Well if they go that route with Cena/Reigns for Summerslam yeah Reigns needs to go heel. It's getting really embarrassing to see WWE try to pipe in cheers more and more.

They must have really needed to cut time to gave two of the matches on the kickoff.
