Prophecies of Anthony
Payback 2014
The Shield vs. EvolutionPrediction:Evolution
Prophecy:I can't see Evolution losing to the Shield twice. There is only one event that would lead me to believe that the Shield could win. If Evolution introduces a new member at the end of 5/26's Raw leading us to the question of 'how could the Shield possibly win with such a disadvantage going into payback?' This leads me to believe that the Shield will somehow overcome this disadvantage. But so far this is a rematch of a match from Extreme Rules where the Shield won originally, and PPV rematches usually go the other way.
Result:The Shield wins

Bad News Barrett vs. Rob Van DamIntercontinental ChampionshipPrediction:Bad News Barrett
Prophecy:What kind of push and title run would it be if Barrett lost the belt after a month? Personally, I want to see RVD and Adam Rose form a tag team. It gives Adam Rose a chance to work with a veteran of more than 25 years, and someone for Adam Rose to turn heel against when he gets a push into the midcard. DON'T BE A LEMON, BE A ROSE BUD!
Result:Bad News Barrett wins

John Cena vs. Bray WyattLast Man StandingPrediction:Bray Wyatt
Prophecy:To quote The Tocc, "my instinct says Cena but I feel like there may be a swerve here." This is the rubber match between Cena and Wyatt. The rubber match usually goes to the face(Cena), but my prediction says otherwise. This is a different type of match up. We saw that kid interrupt the cage match at Extreme Rules, and *I* personally haven't seen him since, so maybe he'll play a roll in the last man standing match.
Result:John Cena wins

Paige vs. Alicia FoxDivas ChampionshipPrediction:Paige
Prophecy:This is the only match I can say with absolute certainty that someone will win. I am making this match my lock. Outside of this match we have Shield vs Evolution, Cena vs Wyatt, and four meaningless mid-card matches; all six of which could go either way.
Going into the last three PPVs with the WWE network, this is the first PPV before watching that I feel that I am glad I am only paying $10. Three of the seven matches on this card are rematches. One is a rubber match, another is two midgets in a hair vs mask match, the third is the only meaningful match, not just of the three rematches, but of the entire card. This is going to be painful to watch.
This is my lock.
