10 Predictions For WWE Payback After Extreme Rules

8. Ziggler vs Sheamus vs Barrett vs Bryan For The IC Title

Considering the heinous and arse-based actions of Sheamus at Extreme Rules, expect the rivalry between him and Ziggler to keep spinning on. Likewise, Bryan's poor health left Barrett in the lurch on Sunday. He didn't receive his contractual rematch and was forced to eat a loss at the hands of Neville. If Bryan's health permits, expect BNB to receive his shot at Payback instead, and expect him to have company. Even if the company medically clear Bryan to compete, he is 'snakebit' in the company's eyes, effectively cursed with injuries, which means they're going to be incredibly cautious with him and lighten his workload as much as humanly possibly. That's where Ziggler and Sheamus come in. Ziggler still has a claim over the IC belt, coming so tantalisingly close to capturing it at Wrestlemania, and Sheamus will do doubt want to prove his dominance over puny Bryan and puny Ziggler, which sets up a Fatal Fourway for the championship at Payback. That way, Bryan has the least possible work to do, able to take the occasional bump and rest up at ringside while the other three guys handle the grunt work. Of course, if not medically cleared, which he still wasn't on RAW, he may have to forfeit the title, which would be a heartbreaking coincidence considering this time last year - a coincidence doomed to be mislabelled by the WWE commentators as 'ironic'. If that's the case, expect Neville to take Bryan's place, competing for a vacant title.
