I'm not using the thread because it's still a month away and not much is happening in it yet.
So I'm going to Payback but kind of skeptical for the show. It'll probably be better than I expect, but I'm concerned (not sure what other word to use) about the potential main event. It looks like they're going with Braun Strowman for Lesnar's first official challenger, even though he most definitely doesn't deserve it (kayfabe or not). I really don't want to see this match. I'd much rather have Lesnar vs. Balor and/or Reigns but let's face it, they'll hold off until one of the big four for that. I'm also going with a friend of mine who's been into wrestling for a while casually but has never gone to a show - so this will be awesome for him, regardless.
The rest of the card will surely be fine with a good women's match, cool cruiserweight action, Jericho/Owens rematch (possibly with a stip), Hardy Boyz tag title defense, likely Rollins vs. Samoa Joe, and a return PPV match for Finn (if he's not facing Lesnar), plus whatever crap they throw in + the kickoff. So I don't think it'll be too bad, and the first PPV after Mania has tended to be pretty decent.
What do you want to see at Payback?

Honestly, I'm cool with Braun vs. Brock

I think it'll be Reigns vs Strowman, maybe in a #1 contenders match.

I'd like to see Braun vs Brock, but now is not the time. He needs to regain credibility after being made to look like a loser against Reigns. Also, hate to tell everyone, but there's no way they'll book balor vs Lesnar.. if they do, it won't be in a competitive match.

I think they will, "The Beast" vs. "The Demon" reads SummerSlam/WM all over it. It'll happen, but just not at any given PPV. |

Balor is getting pushed hard, and there's something "different" about him thus far (mostly he hasn't been ruined by 50/50 booking). I just can't see him being a guy who they let take Brock to his limits. I can only hope it happens eventually though, as I've wanted to see it for some time |

You're a sucker if you think Brock is working Payback.

You're a sucker if you think Brock is working Payback. I highly doubt it. First time he's been champion after WrestleMania since 2003. There needs to be a title defense at Payback. |

The earliest he's defending that title is June. If not June, then Summerslam. As previously mentioned, Reigns vs Braun will most likely be at Payback for a No. 1 contendership. |

I don't think this is 2015 where Lesnar will only wrestle every 4 months. I'm pretty sure he signed a contract for more frequent appearances/matches. He's not being advertised in local listings for Payback, or for any Raws between now and then. It's possible that he will defend at Payback because he is in the hype video, but I wouldn't 100% expect it. |
