WWE Payback Card: Predicting 8 Matches That Will Take Place

4. Sheamus (c) vs Dean Ambrose - WWE US Title

This is where things get slightly interesting. With Batista potentially taking some time off from the company in the near future, it means that the possibility of The Shield v Evolution dwindles somewhat, which would be a bit of a shame given their great feud of late. However, one member of The Shield has revenge on his mind. Dean Ambrose suffered a shock defeat to Sheamus on Raw, when he lost his United States Championship belt after over a year with it tightly wrapped around his waist. You get the impression he will be demanding a rematch at some point, so to have it on pay-per-view just seems like common sense. Sheamus needs to get off to a good run as champion in order to make his reign seem worthwhile, which is something Ambrose failed with on a fair few occasions, given the lack of matches he had with the title on the line. For Sheamus, a match against Dean Ambrose would be a great first defence of the championship.
