8 Things WWE Got Right At WWE Payback 2017

5. An Obvious Heel Turn, But A Necessary One

It is possible that Matt and Jeff Hardy were the only two people on the planet who didn't see the post-match attack from Sheamus and Cesaro coming. One of the unwritten rules of wrestling has to be that one should never celebrate for too long in the ring - especially when you've just shaken hands with your disgruntled and defeated opponent.

RAW's tag division is in the soup somewhat right now, and a vicious heel turn for Cesaro and Sheamus is the right step forward. What this means for The Club and The Revival remains to be seen. What can't be denied is that the two Europeans will fit the tough bully team role perfectly - as long as they are booked in that way.

The major takeaway from the post-match beatdown has little to do with Dublin07 however. Matt Hardy took a number of shots to the head throughout the match along with a vicious Brogue Kick in the post - was it enough to make him Broken once more? We won't have to wait long to find out.
