5 best Twitter reactions to WWE Payback 2016

Kevin Owens proved he was better than Sami Zayn at Payback

3: Chicago Screwjob?

The Women’s title match was going so well. It was some of the best mat wrestling WWE’s women’s division has ever seen. Two legends were ringside. Natalya and Charlotte were tearing it up inside the ring. Then the finish happened. I’m still not completely sure what it was.

Charlotte had Natalya in a Sharpshooter when referee Charles Robinson suddenly called for the bell out of nowhere before running out of the ring to retrieve the Women’s Championship bell for Charlotte. In other words, a screwjob. A terrible attempt at a screwjob rather.

@bryanalvarez of Wrestling Observer, tweeted about WWE’s blatant attempt at recreating the Montreal Screwjob between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart, with Bret famously writing the WCW initials on camera in mid air following the finish. He famously departed for WCW the after, which was the whole reason for the screwjob.
