WWE needs something big at payback, the fans are really on the edge of dropping off after the crap they gave at Mania. Don't deliver here and those ratings are only going to get worse. They need a major compelling story asap, they'll be screwed if they fuck up the Bullet Club at Payback.
I haven't been that thrilled with the build up for this feud in general but the closing segments for this week's Raw and Smackdown were pretty good. My one nitpick for Raw was AJ not being able to stand tall after laying Roman out. That would have been more effective at making him seem like he a credible threat to Roman than him selling the Superman punch for as long as he did.
It'd be awesome if Reigns & Uso were over and actually interesting. Gallows and Anderson just scream boo us. They need a proper baby face for this to work, also the fans not being cunts and cheering the heel(like Owens)
I can honestly say that I'm more interested in the AJ/Gallows/Anderson dynamic than whether or not AJ wins the strap. We all know AJ isn't going to win.
All depends on the end-result, AJ has had Jericho (and the #1 contenders 4way) to bolster his Rumble debut so already has history prior to Payback's WWEWHC match while Armstrong/Gallows immediately are thrown into supporting AJ's WWEWHC feud with no 'past' WWE slow-build debuts to cement them as a force aside from against the Uso's.
If this is all a build to unseating Reign's WWEWHC alongside uniting WWE's version of Bullet-Club (possibly completed by the debut of Balor) then it will be impactful but if AJ, Gallows/Anderson are all shrugged off for a title-retention what does that really say of them? A DQ defense for Reigns followed by the 6way carnage is the probable outcome to keep all involved 'strong'.
