After an atrocious WWE WrestleMania 32 in Dallas (as per popular opinion), WWE has been on the right track after hearing the loud negative reaction for 'The Big Dog' Roman Reigns received in the main event of the biggest WrestleMania event of all time.
Shane McMahon has been 'running' the flagship show for the past 3 weeks and it has been a breath of fresh air to say the least regarding the overall quality of the product.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Two weeks ago, we witnessed a surprising yet brutal beat down of The Usos courtesy of the ‘Machine Gun' Karl Anderson and 'The Sun Tan Biker Man' Doc Gallows on Monday Night RAW.
And last week on RAW the ex-Bullet Club members turned their eyes on Roman Reigns, and not to forget a rather uncomfortable reunion of the duo in a backstage segment with 'The Phenomenal One' A.J. Styles.
This week, things exploded on Monday night Raw as Reigns and Styles clashed in a physical manner courtesy of Gallows and Anderson. Though it looks as if Styles is not involved in the plans of Anderson and Gallows, the intention of the duo is dubious and it may well factor into the world title scene at Payback.
So after much brainstorming, I have come across 3 possible ways that the main event of WWE Payback may play out.
The Obvious One:
The newest additions to the roster, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows joining hands with their former friend in New Japan Pro Wrestling, A.J. Styles and helping 'The Phenomenal One' win his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship after arriving on the scene in a short time span and announcing the Arrival of a New Era.
IT’S REEEEEAL!!!!
This would be best if WWE plans to keep Roman a face until SummerSlam. This could also mean a heel run for AJ and also with these stars behind AJ wouldn’t fade away anytime soon.
The Interesting One:
Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows siding with the 'Big Dog' Roman Reigns and helping Roman retain his title over 'The Phenomenal One' in the Windy City and continuing their hatred and disgust of A.J. since the debacle at NJPW New Year Dash 2016.
No water under the bridge AJ!!
Roman will embrace the negative reaction from the crowd as the show goes to a close.
THE ROMAN EMPIRE WILL STAND TALL!!!!
The Bulletproof Balor Club:
This would be INSANE!!! The history between Finn Balor (former NXT Heavyweight Champion), Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows is known to every pro wrestling fan across the globe.
The founding member and leader of The Bullet Club in New Japan Finn Balor (aka Prince Devitt) can take the throne, reunite with Anderson/Gallows and makes his intentions clear that he wants the biggest prize in the world of pro wrestling, i.e., The WWE World Heavyweight Championship and NOBODY can stop the Demon within.
Here, Anderson/Gallows rush to the ring in the closing moments of the main event, and put BOTH of the competitors out of their misery and then they welcome their leader in the name of Finn Balor. Hence, the Bulletproof Balor Club stands tall and Finn poses with the WWE World Title belt as the screen goes to black.
WE ARE BULLETPROOF, WE DO WHAT WE WANT!
