WWE Payback 2016: 5 Points To Note

#2 The Rivalry Continues

The IC Title Scene seems to have Owens and Zayn in addition

Kevin Owens’ theme song soon brought the excitement back into the crowd after what happened to Amore. So did Zayn’s theme song. And it finally felt like a great rivalry unraveling on the main roster. This was going to be good. They fired up the match with relentless punches leading to Owens being thrown out the ring, eating a Zayn top rope jump and then being thrown at the barricade.

The match was as exciting as you would expect but Zayn lost making the announcers wonder if the rivalry was over. Owens now set his sights on the Intercontinental Championship and made his intentions clear of being a commentator for Miz vs Cesaro. But it was all a build up to having Zayn not settling for the loss and attacking Owens ringside.

This wasn’t professional but this rivalry is all about personal vendetta. The Prizefighter attacked both Cesaro and Zayn. This signals a Fatal Four Way for the IC Title soon.
