WWE Payback: Updated Card & Rumoured Matches

The next WWE PPV is Payback from Chicago on June 1st and after this week's Raw as well as Smackdown taping the lineup is starting to take shape. Two rematches from Extreme Rules have been confirmed: Evolution vs. The Shield and John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt. Evolution's rivalry with The Shield was the main focus on Raw. It seems like they're going to build to something other than a regular 3 on 3 tag match. Perhaps a Chicago Street Fight is what they'll go with. It could also be a 3 on 3 elimination style tag. The Wyatt/Cena match became official at the Smackdown tapings with the expectation that it will be a Last Man Standing match. They set it up two weeks ago with Cena saying he was still standing, then Wyatt fired back on Raw mentioning the stipulation and Cena has agreed to it. It will be the third match in their series after Cena won at WrestleMania and Wyatt was victorious at Extreme Rules. Daniel Bryan is still the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but with his neck surgery this coming Thursday there's plenty of doubt about the future of the WWE Title. During WWE Main Event on WWE Network, it was announced that the future of the WWE Title will be addressed next week on Monday Night Raw in London, England. We won't know Bryan's status until after the surgery although if the 6 to 8 week timeline is accurate then he would miss Payback and there is some uncertainty whether he will be ready by Money in the Bank on June 29. Other rumored matches include Sheamus vs. Cesaro for the US Title. They had a non-title match on Main Event that ended in a double countout. They have great chemistry with both guys working a physical style, so it's a good idea to give them more matches together. Based on other events from Raw, it appears as though Alicia Fox will be built up as a heel challenger to Paige for the Divas Title and Rusev could face off with Big E. There also appears to be a build towards a tag title match with The Usos defending against The Wyatt Family. What else can we expect from Payback? Plenty of CM Punk chants from the Chicago crowd that will want to see their favorite local wrestler at the show. It's not expected that Punk will be there. We will continue to update on any further announcements relating to the lineup at Payback as well as the health of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan.
