WWE Payback 2017 results prediction and full match card analysis
The first post-WrestleMania 33 pay per view is almost upon us, and we now have complete clarity on all the matches upon offer at Payback 2017. The Monday Night Raw pay per view should be exciting as it ends some old rivalries and sets up the rest of the year.
We analyse the complete match card and give you our predictions as to who will walk away from Payback with their heads held high. Here is the full match card:
| Match Number | Match Participants | Match Stipulation |
| Preshow | Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows | Tag Team match |
| 1 | Neville (c) vs Austin Aries | Singles match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship |
| 2 | The Hardy Boyz (c) vs Cesaro and Sheamus | Tag team match for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship |
| 3 | Seth Rollins vs Samoa Joe | Singles match |

| 6 | Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman | Singles match |
| 7 | Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt | House of Horrors match |
This PPV is a little bit strange as neither the WWE Universal Championship nor the WWE Championship is being defended, and there are also a few SmackDown LIVE superstars taking part due to the recently concluded Superstar Shakeup. It all makes for some interesting viewing.
So, without any further ado, let’s dive right into our predictions for WWE Payback 2017:
Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows (Kickoff Match)
The kickoff match for WWE Fastlane 2017 will pit former Raw Tag Team Champions The Club against Enzo and Cass. Both teams will be looking for a win in order to ascend the tag team ladder in what is becoming a pretty competitive division on Monday Night Raw.
Expect Anderson and Gallows to come away with the victory here through some underhanded tactics. With The Revival sidelined due to injury trouble, the division needs a top heel tag team, and The Club fits that bill perfectly.
