Jim Ross Blogs: WWE Payback, Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles, Miz vs. Cesaro

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog entry over at his website where he gave his thoughts on the WWE Payback PPV.

WWE Title Match: Roman Reigns © vs. AJ Styles:

Reigns over AJ in a match that will pleasantly surprise some naysayers. I expect some outside shenanigans to accompany this bout. I expect AJ to rock the house in his first WWE, PPV main event.  

Women’s Title Match: Charlotte © (with Ric Flair) vs. Natalya (with Bret Hart):

Charlotte squeaks out a quality win over Nattie, and I assume that WWE will feel obligated to do one spot with Flair and the Hitman.

Intercontinental Title Match: The Miz © vs. Cesaro:

I’d like to see Cesaro win the  IC Title and then commence to rebuilding it as Cesaro can have excellent bouts with anyone on the roster. However, for some reason, I see Miz and Maryse, a combo that I happen to like, prevailing with a classic, ‘cheat to win.’

Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho:

Ambrose over Jericho is what should be a really good, wrestling match. Whether some want to admit it or not, Ambrose losing to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania provided Dean’s TV persona a boost. I still find it head scratching that some fans are still up in arms as to why Ambrose did not defeat Lesnar at Wrestlemania Texas.  

Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens:

Zayn, in classic, underdog fashion snatching a victory out of the jaws of defeat over Kevin Owens in another bout that I’m excited to watch live. If this goes the other way, I will be just as happy.

Kalisto © vs. Ryback for the United States Title:

Heel Ryback cheating the smaller, underdog Kalisto out of the United States title seems to resonate but if Ryback doesn’t prevail and win this tepid title then that might speak even louder regarding this title and the individuals in this match. I like Ryback as a ‘bullying’ heel especially if he learns to occasionally retreat.
