WWE Payback 2016: Full match card analysis and predictions

WWE’s first major stop after WrestleMania is just a matter of hours away. Although Payback might not have the legacy which WrestleMania has, it is a crucial pay-per-view in the WWE calendar. If not in the past, it is definitely a crucial pay-per-view this year around as we are going to see a mammoth battle between AJ Styles and Roman Reigns for the WWE championship.

On paper, the level of excitement regarding this match would’ve been average. However, thanks to the introduction of Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows into the mix, things are interesting to the core. If this match was not enough, there is a string of other exciting bouts in the card worth looking forward to. Here is the complete match card analysis and predictions.

Kalisto vs. Ryback (United States Championship match)

The Kalisto vs. Ryback match, just like last time, is struggling to create any kind of buzz. The lack of momentum for both superstars and WWE’s lack of interest in giving these two some actual limelight has cost the feud big time and it would be a surprise if the fans see this as something more than a toilet break.

The fact that it is placed in the pre-show does not help these superstars. These two did have a good match back in WrestleMania but letting them face off once again was apparently a bad decision. It doesn’t matter who gets the win, but the chances are favoring Kalisto more.

Prediction: Kalisto wins
