8 WWE Payback Results Predictions

This match should be an absolute foregone conclusion given only one of the two chaps represents the pay-per-view's marquee brand, but there are two snags to that theory: 1) this is Randy Orton, who tediously wins big feuds, always, and 2) this is Bray Wyatt, who tediously loses big feuds, always.

The SmackDown title not being up for grabs certainly hints Wyatt has a chance, but that's likely just a red herring. Bray really is the most ineffectual cult leader ever. All his 'followers' either desert of betray him, and in his time on the roster he's failed to recruit more than three new members (two of whom were clearly taking the p*ss). Sure, he won the WWE title, but he lost it almost immediately after his novel tactic of 'pictures of creepy crawlies' failed to help him be a better wrestler than handy Randy.

After seeing him lose all his mates, all his feuds, and have his shed burnt down, Wyatt is almost WWE's most comically tragic figure. Yet in the company's eyes, he's a mysterious heel more Kane than Dungeon of Doom. So he'll lose again.

But how? We know literally sod all about the 'House of Horrors' stipulation, besides that it'll be in a house, and almost certainly horrible. Based on Bray's WrestleMania voodoo, I'm anticipating something richly comic, and if this isn't sh*t wrestling of the absolute highest order, I'll consider it a huge disappointment. And I absolutely don't want to see the two erect a conceit that this is anything but a farce; this doesn't call for a mat-classic on a four-poster bed. Bring on the nonsense!
