Prophecies of tonkers
Payback 2016
Roman Reigns vs. A.J. StylesWWE World Heavyweight ChampionshipPrediction:Roman Reigns
Prophecy:The first genuinely interesting build to a PPV Main Event in ages and the hotter-than-hell Chicago crowd will make this an unforgettable bout! There's mystery, suspense, intrigue, dramatic tension, a story line that transcends the strap (which has become meaningless since Reigns took it - top face in the company is Ambrose even if Vince and creative won't acknowledge it). Whilst Bullet Club will undoubtedly play a role in the finish (maybe even Finn Balor), there are a plethora of interesting ways that WWE could go with the current set up. Ultimately, as long as Roman doesn't win absolutely clean, then everyone involved can be elevated by this match.
Result:Roman Reigns wins

Cesaro vs. The MizIntercontinental ChampionshipPrediction:Cesaro
Prophecy:I'm inclined to think that Cesaro will win via DQ to set up a No-DQ match of sorts at Extreme Rules. If this is the only DQ finish in the show then it will mean more. As a side note, props to the Miz for making himself relevant again almost overnight, boosting the IC title to prominence again.
Result:The Miz wins

Charlotte vs. NatalyaWWE Women?s ChampionshipPrediction:Charlotte
Prophecy:They're building Charlotte to a bigger feud with Sasha. That much is obvious. Nattie will do the favours here and most likely again at Extreme Rules to make the impact of a title change down the road more significant.
Result:Charlotte wins

Sami Zayn vs. Kevin OwensPrediction:Sami Zayn
Prophecy:Zayn wins here via surprise roll-up. Owens beats the living heck out of him post-match and then we get these guys again for the next two PPVs.
Result:Kevin Owens wins

Dean Ambrose vs. Chris JerichoPrediction:Dean Ambrose
Prophecy:God! Another match that could steal the whole damn thing. This is such a loaded card. And in Chicago too!! This could be the PPV of the year. Just goes to show that when they want to, WWE can get it really, really right. This one is hopefully leading to a Street Fight for Extreme Rules, but the company's top drawing star, Dean Ambrose really needs to stop losing high-profile matches.
Result:Dean Ambrose wins

The Vaudevillains vs. Enzo Amore & Colin CassadyWWE Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contenders? Tournament FinalPrediction:The Vaudevillains
Prophecy:Enzo & Cass will get screwed by the Dudley Boyz. It's a fine fucking line, but the certified G and the 7-foot-tall Cass have demonstrated time and time again that they can put the other guys over while looking really really good. We'll get the New Day v Enzo & Cass somewhere down the line, but for right now, Gotch and English need this way more. Again, WWE proves that they know how to book properly, they just often don't.
Result:No Contest

Kalisto vs. RybackUnited States ChampionshipPrediction:Ryback
Prophecy:This is as good a time as any to give Ryback the belt. What was the point of the heel turn if they weren't going to push him somehow?
Result:Kalisto wins
