WWE Payback 2016 Matches: Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose vs Chris Jericho and more
Extreme Rules was the prescribed PPV that followed WrestleMania all these years, but in a revamp this year, WWE has pushed forward Payback. Payback is scheduled to happen on May 1st and the match card for the same is shaping up to be a very good one indeed.
The recent episodes of RAW and Smackdown have laid the foundation for a host of feuds and angles that would dominate the proceedings leading up to Payback. While Roman Reigns knows his first challenger, there are many burning questions regarding other top names and the rumored direction WWE has for them.
This article puts together all the possible matches that could feature on the Payback card for May 1st 2016.
Becky Lynch vs Emma
Becky Lynch put up a valiant effort at WrestleMania 32 only to fall short and eat the pin at the hands of the current WWE Women’s Champion, Charlotte. Now, Becky isn’t expected to be slotted into the title scene and would start a program with a repackaged Emma.
Emma has worked on character down at NXT and the time seems ripe for her to make up for the mistakes that happened during her last main-roster run. This week’s Smackdown saw the seeds for the feud being planted as Emma interrupted a backstage Becky Lynch interview.
Reintroducing Emma as a heel against a lovable face in Becky Lynch seems to be WWE's plan here.
