5 best Twitter reactions to WWE Payback 2016
WWE brought us Payback, their first PPV since WrestleMania 32 and in quite a few ways the show was better than WrestleMania. The show lived up to the hype in most ways even though most of the crowd were let down by Roman Reigns’ victory over AJ Styles.
That match was one of the two matches of the night. The other match being the latest edition of the blood feud between Samy Zayn and Kevin Owens, their first singles match on the main roster. Their fight spilled out onto the Intercontinental Championship match with The Miz taking advantage of a distraction to roll up Cesaro.
Dean Ambrose also got a much needed win over Chris Jericho, with Jericho probably taking a break from WWE following Payback. The Women’s title match between Natalya and Charlotte was fantastic but marred by a bizarre finish. The two pre-show matches were okay but nothing special.
WWE should really look to do different with the US title. Just to put things in perspective about how far the US title has fallen, Seth Rollins and John Cena had a title for title match for the US Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. Vince McMahon also came out to overwhelming CM Punk chants and granted both Shane and Stephanie dual control of Raw. What a cop out.
There was also the scary moment when the tag team match had to get canceled when Enzo Amore got knocked out. Thankfully, Enzo’s doing okay, even though he’s been diagnosed with a concussion. We all hope he gets well soon.
With that being said, here the 5 top twitter reactions to WWE Payback:
5: The Silent Era
real cool of the crowd to play along with the Vaudevillains silent film gimmick

There’s something about The Vaudevillians that just isn’t working. It worked in the smaller NXT arenas, but it isn’t working on the main roster. They debuted on the main roster on the SmackDown after Wrestlemania 32, and it’s been quite underwhelming. Their old school mat wrestling style hasn’t gotten over with fans.
Their tag team finisher is also terribly anti-climatic. Their gimmick is original but it sucks the energy out of the the huge live crowds on WWE’s main roster.
@Oatgan hilariously points put how the non-reaction that The Vaudevillains received from the Chicago crowd at Payback, plays along quite well with their whole The Vaudevillains whole silent era gimmick. Sarcasm at its best.
