WWE Payback: Preview and Predictions

Neville vs King Barrett

Preview: The exact opposite of the handling of The Ascension is the debut and main roster run of Neville so far. He has hung with the most established in the company, including John Cena. He finds himself tied up with King Barrett, who has proven that he can make the most of gimmicks given to him, whether Bad News or bad royalty. These two have clashed twice before, in the KOTR finals and on the Extreme Rules pre-show, taking one a piece.

Prediction: WWE seems really high on Neville right now, as the Man that Gravity Forgot has been given every chance to showcase his skills so far on the main roster. However, Barrett needs this win more I’d argue, since he has the new character and was so brutally handled heading into Wrestlemania. Barrett wins, but don’t expect it to be completely clean. Neville can then move on to the Intercontinental title picture, but tonight, all hail the King.
