WWE Payback: Preview and Predictions

U.S. Title I Quit Match: John Cena (c) vs Rusev w/ Lana

Preview: The fourth match between these two was set up at Extreme Rules as Lana asked the Authority for it and she got it. There has been some dissension between Rusev and Lana recently, as Lana has been embracing cheers from the American fans. Rusev has been great at playing the frustrated heel, and Cena has put on some of his best matches recently with the US Title Open Challenge. This match will be better than the Russian Chain match at Extreme Rules, but by how much?

Prediction: Three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and John Cena never saying “I Quit”. There’s just no way. The leader of the Cenation will never say them so long as he is still the chiseled face of the company. Lana will likely cost Rusev the match somehow, leading to their separation which is still early. Still, Lana ruins it for Rusev, cementing her babyface turn and Cena holds onto his title.
