PRO WRESTLING REVIEW - WWE PAYBACK 2015

Posted in ,   with  No comments     Edit


Took place on May 17, 2015, at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. It was the third event under the Payback name. Just 21 days after Extreme Rules the WWE PPV is on air again.

Sheamus VS Dolph Ziggler

Rematch from Extreme Rules last April. Ziggler tried to get revenge as Sheamus did in that event and he got it. Sheamus kiss Ziggler arse during the match. The match itself was good for opening with a lot pace from both Wrestlers. Stand point for this match of course nasty blood on Ziggler, when he headbutt Seamus. Seem legit to me. Sheamus won after hit Brogue Kick to bleeding Ziggler.

Winner: Sheamus

The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) (c) (with Xavier Woods) defeated Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (with Natalya) [WWE Tag Team Championship]

It's 2-out-of-3 falls tag team match, which mean to win the team must won minimum 2 times. This match became the best match for this feud so far. For me, Kidd is the star he really made the great match with his ability to move from one side to another, his agility and when he handled New Days alone it just great. Kidd-Cesaro won the first count via their double team moves and then New Days won after Kidd was pinned by Kofi. so it draw in 1-1. There's nasty Spear from Big E to Cesaro during the match which turn to be "Holysh*t" chant from the crowd. The final count was achieved by New Days with Bella's Twin Magic, yeah after Woods pinned Cesaro disguise as Kofi.

Winner: The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston)

Bray Wyatt VS Ryback

The weakest feud of Wyatt, after his lost to Undertaker it seems the the creative team lost direction for his push. The battle between former Nexus member. The match itself is not that bad, Wyatt is the one that made it right. He got more moves variation DDT to the side ring, Senton to the outside just made it acceptable in PPV match. One highlight from Ryback is the Big Guy can fly when he jump to Splash Wyatt from a top rope. Wyatt won the match after hit Sister Abigail to Ryback after he crashed to expose turnbuckle first.

Winner: Bray Wyatt

Rusev (with Lana) VS John Cena (c) [WWE United States Championship]

The USA belt is go for I Quit match. Despite the repeat match between two man, this match was surprisingly good. It no disqualification rules so, they use everything available to make his opponent say "I Quit." Rusev dominated first half of the match with introduce steel step and Cena used more tools to break Rusev from table, monitor, laptop and the best of the match throw AA to pyro system in ram. Nearing the end Rusev expose the turnbuckle and release the rope from the post, he sneaking to attack Cena but was countered to STF with rope and Rusev Quit.

Winner: John Cena

Naomi and Tamina VS The Bella Twins (Brie Bella and Nikki Bella)

Wow! finally the twins is lost, clean lost.

Winner: Naomi and Tamina

King Barrett VS Neville 

Battle of England. Just another match to fill the card but is good to see that Neville got his first PPV live match, he did a dark match before. Nice move from WWE to introduce him. The match itself was fast match with Neville show his agility and Barrett with his power, at the middle of match Barrett refused to continue the match and made Neville won by count out. While Neville celebrated, Barrett storming to the ring and hit Neville. Neville countered and hit Red Arrow to finish the show.

Winner: Neville


Randy Orton VS Dean Ambrose VS Roman Reigns VS Seth Rollins (c) (with Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) [WWE World Heavyweight Championship]

Three former Shield members and the Viper. It goes for brawl from the start, because there's no DQ rules J&J security could jump in to assist Rollins. Orton got the least time from other competitor, and the trio got the spotlight alternately. Biggest pop up is echoed when there was little reunion in Shield to Triple Powerbomb Orton in announce table, and the second big is when Ambrose and Reigns Powerbomb Kane on top of Rollins, also in announce table. Orton finaly got his chance when he RKO all Rollins aids but was stopped by Rollins and got Pedigree from him. Rollins cover him and retain the title.

Winner: Seth Rollins

Overall, it was good show from WWE. At least three match steal the heat, Tag team, USA belt and the main event. If they could fix the storyline between mid card, I don't see they will be catch by other promotion. The dark match before the show was R-Truth defeated Stardust and The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) defeated "The Mega Powers" (Curtis Axel and Macho Mandow). I think Sandow will get push after separate from Miz but he's still clown for creative, poor lad.

Good job from WWE, 7.5/10

HOLY SH*T MOMENT OF THE NIGHT
