So it was apparently announced at Payback tonight that RVD will be returning at the Money in the Bank PPV next month.

Also, hearing from what happened with the World Title Match, it sounds like their might have been a Double Turn with Ziggler & Del Rio (anyone watching the PPV would know better of what happened b/c I'm not watching it)

[DieHard]

Yes. It was a double-turn. ADR was a dick and attacked DZ even when the doctors were with him.

So far, it's been a GREAT show. Punk/Jericho was awesome, opener was surprisngly very good and I enjoyed DZ/ADR and Shield/RKNO a lot. Oh, and course, the crowd is ON FIRE all night.

Sounds like it's been a great show. Might get this on DVD when it comes out (much cheaper than buying it on PPV).

By the way were they referred to as Team RKNO or did you come up with that? Either way it's perfect.

[ROHFanAnthony]

Why the hell did they take the title off Ziggler already? Is he taking more time off because of the concussion?

[DieHard]

No. The story was that DZ came back too early and he's still injured. Yet, he still fought in a great fighting spirit fashion while Del Rio killed him with stiff kicks to the head. It was really an awesome match.

Kaitlyn/AJ was match of the night for me.

[DXvsNWO1994]

Kaitlyn/AJ was match of the night for me.

Really? I heard it was pretty good (it was, by all accounts) but you'd put that over Punk/Jericho?

[DieHard]

Tonights RAW was fantastic. Payback was great. WWE are on a roll. Plus, in spoiler:

Spoiler: show

As long as DVR exists to FF through the filler and stale shit, I love WWE.

Star Ratings for Payback

IC Title Match: ***1/4

Divas Title Match: ***

WHC Match: ***1/2

Punk vs. Jericho: ****1/4

US Title Match: **

Tag Title Match: **1/2

Cena vs. Ryback: ***1/2

Overall: 8/10

One of those solid shows without a MOTY candidate but certainly a good show. I feel like the Divas match delivered above expectations and so did Cena vs. Ryback. The IC Title match however was a complete surprise in its quality and I loved the finish.

****1/4 isn't MOTYC?

[DXvsNWO1994]

So The Daily Show devoted an entire segment of the show to WWE tonight. They brought up the banter between JBL & Cole over Colter & Cesaro (as it relates to the immigration debate) and Mick Foley even made an appearance. I thought it was pretty funny. They even used WWE in the "Moment of Zen" at the end of the show, which again, I thought was funny

^My Payback review^


Was a good show, but let down by the main event, which I found pretty terrible.

[Mike Adamle]

Also got around to watching Payback this weekend.

6/16/13 WWE Payback
Pre-Show Match- Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow **1/2
WWE Intercontinental Title Triple Threat Match- Wade Barrett (C) vs. Curtis Axel vs. The Miz ***
WWE Diva's Title Match- Katilyn (C) vs. AJ Lee ***
WWE United States Title Match- Dean Ambrose (C) vs. Kane **1/2
WWE World Heavyweight Title Match- Dolph Ziggler (C) vs. Alberto Del Rio ****
CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho ****1/2
WWE Tag Team Title Match- The Shield (Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins) (C) vs. Daniel Bryan & Randy Orton ***1/2
WWE Title 3 Stages Of Hell Match- 1st Fall- Lumberjack Match, 2nd Fall- Table Match, 3rd Fall- Ambulance Match- John Cena (C) vs. Ryback ***3/4

I thought the crowd kind of shit on the main event, but I still enjoyed the effort both men put forth.

[Hawkeye]

Punk v Lesnar will be a great match. The promos between Punk and Heyman building the match will be legendary.

[DXvsNWO1994]

Apparently these matches were announced on Raw for Money in the Bank

-Money in the Bank Ladder Match - CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus vs. Randy Orton vs. Kane vs. Christan vs. Rob Van Dam
-Chris Jericho vs. Ryback

So...um....this PPV sounds awesome

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I'm watching RAW right now, but I herad Usos vs Shield and Ziggler/Del Rio were added as well. Graet matches.

[Mike Adamle]

Sucks the Usos are getting a PPV title shot. Nothing against them as people, but I don't want to watch them challenge the Shield.

Looks like the weakest Money In the Bank card yet, but it still looks like a fun show. Really wonder what RVD will do after this show.

It looks zillion times better than last year which was avarage outside of Punk/Bryan and SD MITB.

What's the problem with Usos vs Shield? Should be a fun match.

[supersonic]

This is going to be a great card.

The most stacked MITB ladder match since the original at WM21.

Del Rio vs. Ziggler building off their Payback match.

Cena vs. Henry will be electric due to the storyline.

Jericho will kill himself in order to make Ryback look like a million bucks.
