WWE Payback Preview & Predictions

CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho

jericho punk There has been so much speculation about every aspect of this match that I couldn't possibly go in-depth about all of it without writing a 3,000 word essay. Basically it comes down to this, people expect a Punk face turn, for him to have problems with Paul Heyman, and maybe a Jericho heel turn. I do think Punk will return as a face and hopefully set up a summer feud with Brock Lesnar for a match at Summerslam, which is the number one match I want to see right now in all of WWE. The feud leading up to it would be incredible. Regardless, Punk is set to return to action near his hometown Sunday and is expected to get a huge pop. The problems having to do with Heyman are whether or not he ran it by Punk before he agreed to the match and signed the contract. And with him taking on Curtis Axel as a client does Punk feel betrayed? In a clean match I would expect Punk to win but I don't think that is the way it's going to go down. If it even does go down. There is a chance that Punk doesn't even show up for the match delaying his return even more and building it up a little better, which I wouldn't mind. What I think is going to happen though is that for some reason or another, Heyman will cost Punk the match and the two will break up. Again, hopefully leading to a feud with Lesnar. Winner: Jericho
