WATCH WWE Payback Live Stream Online: Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose
WWE will present the 2015 edition of its Payback pay-per-view from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore on Sunday, and the main event features a Fatal Four Way match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship with Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, and Roman Reigns.
The show will air on the WWE Network tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern but if you can't watch on TV, then you can try here or here, both of which broadcast free live streams of the show (this may require downloading a torrent).
If you missed it, here are our predictions for tonight's pay-per-view.
The Meta Powers (Curtis Axel and Macho Mandow) vs. The Ascension (Pre-Show)
This Meta Powers gimmick shouldn't work, but dammit, it is. Sandow's Macho Man impression is so bad that I'm convinced he's doing it that way on purpose, and it's charming. Meanwhile, this match features four men who are ripping off former wrestlers' gimmicks. The match will be fine, but nothing special.
Winner: The Meta Powers
Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler
This is a rematch from Extreme Rules, minus the posterior kissing stipulation. We know what we're getting from these two by now. It's going to be an above average match with some painful-looking spots, and it has the potential to steal the show. Sheamus needs the win here to set up a rubber match, and he'll probably get it.
Winner: Sheamus
Ryback vs. Bray Wyatt
If anybody on this roster needs a win, it's Bray Wyatt. The Eater of Worlds should demolish Big Hungry in order to re-assert his dominance and restore some much needed credibility to his character. But based on Wyatt's recent trajectory, Ryback will win a back-and-forth match.
Winner: Ryback
King Barrett vs. Neville
This is the third match in a series between the two Brits, and they have a win apiece. WWE has done a careful job with Neville so far. He has lost matches, but they have been to established stars, and he took John Cena to the wire in a great match. If they want to make Neville into something more than a flash in the pan, this would be a good start.
Winner: Neville
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) (c) (w/Xavier Woods) vs. Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (w/Natalya)
The New Day have really come into their own with this heel gimmick, and they've been extremely entertaining to watch these past few weeks. Last month, I would have said Tyson Kidd and Cesaro deserve the belts, but the New Day have proved that they can be just as worthy of the straps. I'd be fine with a win for either team here, and the match is guaranteed to be downright fantastic.
Winner: The New Day
Naomi and Tamina Snuka vs. The Bella Twins
All I want here is for the women to have a competitive, lengthy match. The Bella Twins have done an inexplicable face turn, while Naomi and Tamina are clearly working heel. But all four women are talented and deserve to showcase those talents.
Winner: The Bella Twins
John Cena (c) vs. Rusev (w/Lana) in an I Quit Match for the WWE United States Championship
There are two ways this match could go. Cena could do his usual routine in which he wins a hard-fought and brutal battle by digging down deep, never giving up, and overcoming the odds. Or, WWE could capitalize on this tension between Rusev and Lana by having the Russian threaten to hurt Lana, which would force Cena to quit. The latter option is far more interesting, which means WWE will probably do something closer to the former. Lana will probably try to interfere and somehow cost Rusev the match to further the split between the two.
Winner: John Cena
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
This match exposes one of WWE's biggest problems: predictability. There's no chance Seth Rollins loses this match. WWE has telegraphed his win for weeks by putting him on the receiving end of beatdowns and repeating ad nauseum that his odds of victory are slim. Plus, the main championship just doesn't change hands outside of SummerSlam or WrestleMania anymore. Ambrose will likely be the fall guy here, but at the very least the match should be stellar.
Winner: Seth Rollins
