Payback Sunday. Can't wait for the return of Punk. Hope they bite the bullet and make it the main event rather than Cena v Ryback.

My picks
Shield
Cena
Punk
Ziggler
Axel
Ambrose
AJ Lee
Sheamus....nice to see a surprise with Sandow winning though. He deserves a push.

No, Cena vs Ryback HAS to be the main event. It's for the title.

But it should be about the title, which it won't be.

When Punk had the strap he was often shafted for Cena's grudge matches. This is the return of the company's top talent, in his home town, in what is as close as you'll get to a super match.

Give the UNIVERSE what it wants....maybe let them vote via the WWE App

Despite my predictions I've staked money on Y2J (11/2) and Sandow (7/2). Not overly confident on the second one as it's on the pre-show. Hopefully they put Y2J over some how and it would lead for a good built up to Summerslam.

Well I didn't think Payback was that bad a PPV.
The Punk vs Jericho match was well worked and, although it was in his home town, seemed to do what was needed in terms of turning Punk face. The Del Rio vs Ziggler match did something similar with Del Rio being able to show a callous heel side and Ziggler showing his fighting spirit. It's rare you get a double face/heel turn and this match did it well.

So, did Henry have you fooled? Marked out a bit when he strongest slammed Cena. Though they built it up for a fall way too much, it seemed so genuine.

Think we were all expecting Brock v Punk but maybe not so quite soon, so that was a surprise. Great RAW.

I slept through most of Payback unfortunately, £15 well spent. Good show though.

I hope the WWE use the Wyatt family in a good angle

and also bring Paige through as well

The Sting to WWE rumours are back. It would keep them from feeding Cena to Taker at WM31.

TNA Impact was very,very good.
And yes I did spot it was Aries before he revealed himself.
It was still a mark out moment when it actually happened however.

There's a biopic in the works regarding the life of Chris Benoit. Liev Schreiber is set to play him.

I'm interested to see the finished result. I, in now way, endorse what Benoit did in his final hours of life, but I feel he was a sick man who's been turned into a demon by people looking to get their face on camera rather than look beyond his crime to the reasons behind it.
