He's gotta be there to lose.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

I've seen people floating the idea of Punk no-showing, replaced with Axel, or the match otherwise doesn't end up happening. I've been thinking it would be absurd to not deliver Punk to that crowd after advertising him, but with how hard they have been pushing "Punk and Jericho will be a great match, do not miss this match, the match is going to be awesome, steal the show" and etc., I am thinking something has to be going down.

 

No idea what though.

I don't think the match is happening. I'd love to see Punk shamble out with a homeless guy beard in a Cheeto stained Blackhawks jersey. :lol

 

I still think this is the jump off point for Punk/Brock.

Jericho & Punk v Lesnar & Axle? A very, very long shot, but what the hell, we're fantasy booking here.

[Maxximus 353]

A Jericho/Punk team makes me sick just thinking about it. They should never team up as bros ever.

[DC 536]

With all the rage of pormanteauing names, they could be Team Junk. :lol

[Maxximus 353]

That's the only exception I'll allow. #TeamJunk

It is stupidly early for that to happen, and they'd never throw Brock on a PPV unadvertised.

 

But in the future, sure.

Heyman to turn on Punk makes most sense to me

From Wrestling 101:

 

Oooh, new PPV! That’s right, this is the inaugural WWE Payback, where you’d assume there’s gonna be a thick vein of revenge running through the entire show. Are WWE gonna deliver the goods, or is the name of this brand new PPV a promise they won’t live up to?

[Guest FreeSpirit]

Curtis Axel = The "Perfect" Intercontinental Champion!!

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Anyone have directions to the party?

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Anyone puzzled as to who the heel or face is in the World title match?

[ViciousPrism 177]

Hahaha... Guess we got that RVD interview just in time, huh?

[JobberJoe 108]

So far this has been great guys, btw. In case you didn't know or aren't watching or something.

 

How quick did those fans turn on poor Kaitlyn though? "Woo, great match... AHHH, YOU TAPPED OUT!!"

 

Is this the Dubya' trying to mess with the smart fans a bit by having Del Rio really play on Ziggler's concussion?

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Ziggler hanging in there :)

 

Ziggler a face now?

[JobberJoe 108]

Well... I didn't see that coming. Poor Ziggs :(.

[Guest John Hancock]

Never forget who you are Dolph, you don't get to win things.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Such a shame

[JobberJoe 108]

Okay guys, last minute bets... is Punk wrestling?
