WWE: 5 things that can make Payback memorable

With only a few days to go for the Payback PPV, the anticipation for this Sunday has risen as the fans wait for the return of the Straight Edge superstar, CM Punk. Payback has all the tools to be a good PPV, but so did the past few PPVs. With the storylines being mediocre at best, the WWE has a chance to redeem itself, with some excellent bouts on the card. However, the WWE management has a chance to make this PPV stand out from the rest, and make it memorable for the fans. In this article, I take a look at five possibilities that can happen at the PPV, that would make it one of the best PPVs of the year, and etch it in the minds of the fans.

5. Curtis Axel wins the Intercontinental title

Very few people know the history Curtis Axel has with the WWE Intercontinental title. His father, the legendary Mr. Perfect was one of the greatest Intercontinental champions of all time. He had some phenomenal matches as the Intercontinental champion, and it would be a ‘perfect’ tribute if Axel wins the IC title this Sunday. WWE can put the title on Axel as an ode to his famous father, and it would be the perfect platform for Curtis Axel to be seen as a legitimately top guy on the roster. At the moment, he is nothing more than a fluke, with WWE refusing to put him over cleanly. Putting the strap on him would not only add the legacy aspect to his run, but would also provide as the stepping stone for Axel to move to greater heights.
