WWE Payback 2015: Results and Match Reviews

A day later than intended, but we’re doing it—we’re looking at WWE Payback 2015, AKA a decent but forgettable episode of Monday Night Raw or Smackdown. This didn’t even feel like a $9.99 network commitment. Payback 2015 should have come with your basic cable package, and woe to anyone who shelled out the coin to buy this on actual pay per view.

Yes, Payback is the latest in a string of inconsequential pay per views on the road to SummerSlam, which may explain why the entire event was lackluster overall. The thin roster, repeated matches, and lack of decent storylines means that everyone was wrestling tonight for everyone’s favorite reason: because wrestling.

The two bright spots in all this: The New Day and the Spanish announce table es muy fuerte!

Let’s go through this flimsy card and hope for something better when Elimination Chamber closes out May and Money in the Bank starts to make the next few months interesting.

But for now, Payback 2015.
