WWE Payback has come and gone, and whereas the show won't be remembered for any great length of time, the general consensus amongst fans seems to be that it was an enjoyable card. It remains mind-boggling that the company didn't simply decide to hold Elimination Chamber instead, as there will now be more than the one big event in the month of May. Nonetheless, at least Payback delivered - for the most part - inside the ring. It really looks like Dean Ambrose could be in line for a major push at some point this year. With Daniel Bryan's shocking revelation that he might be out of the picture, vacating the Intercontinental Title in the process, there's a slot open near the top of the card. Ambrose could be the ideal candidate, because fans have been going absolutely nuts for him recently, making him one of the most over guys on the roster currently. Looking at Payback, the 'Lunatic Fringe' received one of the biggest pops of the night. Daniel Bryan goes under the microscope in this week's article, as a WWE legend weighs in on his plight. Elsewhere, is one WWE Hall Of Famer about to start filming porn? As if that wasn't enough, there's news on a potential relapse for another Hall Of Fame inductee, a disillusioned former WWF and WCW star taking things too far on social media, and even some tragic news for TNA's future.
