How WWE Should Book Extreme Rules 2016

Hello everyone! You may have seen some of my posts before where I fantasy book WWE PPV's 1-2 days before they occur, (with the small childish hope that someone in WWE sees them and uses some ideas). If you happen to like this post and want to see more from me, you can look up "How WWE Should Book Night Of Champions 2015" to this post. All PPV's in order from Night of Champions 2015 to Extreme Rules 2016 I have fantasy booked. i have gone through multiple accounts so just click the title you see. Anyways, here we go. This is how I would book Extreme Rules 2016!

PRE SHOW:

*We have the usual kickoff panel and for the first 15 minutes the panel discusses and hypes up the matches for the night and we get some video packages. A huge Social Media Lounge segment with Roman Reigns AND AJ Styles, face to face, is announced for later in the kickoff. The hashtag is #AskAJandReigns. Then we get to our first kickoff match.

*1st Kickoff Match: Dolph Ziggler vs Baron Corbin (No DQ)

I don't understand this feud at all. Corbin lost his first main roster singles match on the Raw after Mania in a double countout to Ziggler. The two men feuded until Payback. Corbin was looking like a monster after winning the Andre Match at WM, but Ziggler defeated Corbin for some strange reason. Now, neither man has been on TV since then, and now they are fighting AGAIN in the Pre-Show, AGAIN. I don't get it. But anyways, Corbin needs to look like a monster in this match. The match only goes about 8 minutes, but Corbin dominates 95% of it. Here are some spots in the match.

*Ziggler gives Corbin a Fameasser on some steel steps * Lots and lots of Chair shots and Kendo Stick shots.

The match ends when Corbin is stunned inside the ring and Ziggler is up on the top rope for an elbow, and he jumps but Corbin catches him and swings him around for the End Of Days on steel chair.

We get replays and Corbin starts to go to the back. Ziggler got beaten up so bad that referees have to carry him to the back. Corbin sees this, and of course, being the dick heel he is, and should be, he runs down and gives Dolph a huge big boot to add insult to injury. Corbin yells at kids and fat fans in the crowd as there is huge heat on him.

*Winner: Baron Corbin.

We go back to the kickoff panel and they briefly discuss the match. They give more predictions and we see another video package and then we go to the Social Media Louge. Styles and Reigns are staring at each other and they answer the questions but it gets more and more heated and both men stand up and stare each other down to end the segment, as Reigns holds up his title, hyping the main event.

The panel continues to hype the matches when suddenly Bob Backlund's music cuts them off. They all look confused and we go to Backlund on the stage. Backlund has a mic and is walking down the ramp doing all his wacky antics. He finally gets in the ring and then he closes his eyes and just stands there for about 30 seconds. Everyone is confused and suddenly he jumps up and realizes where he is, and says hello to the New Jersey crowd. He talks about his recent pairing with Darren Young. He says that he's very proud of Darren's progress but he's angry that Young would use his smartphone during a session, and that he would use such "vulgar" language as he did last week. He says that it's time for Young's first big test. He introduces Young and he makes his entrance. Young and Backlund have words and Bob is going crazy and he says again that it's time for Young's first chance to really prove himself. He says that he's been looking backstage all day for someone for Young to face. He says he finally found the perfect one. He introduces Young's opponent and former tag team partner, Titus O'Neil. Darren tell Bob that he is not the right opponent, that they are friends. Backlund says that if Darren wants a life coach that he needs to learn to be a man and suck it up. Young looks pissed, but reluctantly rolls into the ring. The match only goes about 5 minutes, but Young wins with a roll up on Titus. Young rolls out of the ring and is celebrating. Backlund is clapping and goes over to Young with a mic. He says that he is extremely proud of Young for defeating Titus, but Backlund goes irate and says that he showed poor sportsmanship for not shaking Titus's hand after the match. Young is frustrated and goes into the ring to shake Titus's hand and hugs him. Backlund approves and i.e. clapping and nodding his head as they both go to the back. This segment isn't meant to be good. Just a comedy segment that advances the Backlund-Young pairing.

*We get final predictions from the panel as we go to the main show.

MAIN SHOW:

We get an opening video package, and Cole welcomes us to the PPV.

*1st Match: The Miz vs Cesaro vs Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn for IC Title.

This will probably be the match of the night. I thought it should kick off the show. We get a video package for the match and Zayn comes out first, followed by Cesaro, then Owens, then Miz and Maryse. Before the match even starts, Owens grabs a mic and cuts a great promo insulting all 3 men, and says that he's gonna get back HIS intercontinental title. The bell rings and all four men start brawling. Zayn and Owens are brawling and Zayn goes to Helluva Kick Owens but he slips out and retreats and then is caught from behind with a SKL by Miz for an early pin, but Zayn kicks out at 2 1/2. Owens is already throwing a bunch of chairs in the ring. The match goes about 16 minutes. Here are some spots in the match:

*Lots of chair shots

*Cesaro gets all 3 men down and Owens runs at Cesaro but he catches him for a swing. Cesaro finishes with him and Zayn runs at him but Cesaro swings him, too. Finally, Miz runs at Cesaro with the IC Belt but Cesaro grabs it and whacks Miz with it, and swings him.

*Owens sets up a table on the outside and puts Cesaro on it. Owens goes to the top rope for a Frogsplash and he jumps but Cesaro catches him for a Very European uppercut and Owens also goes through the table.

-Zayn goes for his Tornado DDT through the ring post spot on Owens, but Owens catches him in mid air, and hoists him up for a running pop up Powerbomb through the Spanish announce table. This would probably be the spot of the night.

Hopefully some other awesome spots from these guys. The match ends when Zayn and Owens start brawling into the crowd and Miz is distracted and Cesaro hits him with a huge VEU and a Neutrilizer to win his first Intercontinental title. The fans are going insane and there are tons of Cesaro section signs as everyone chants his name, doing the fist pump.

I was originally gonna have Cesaro win it here, and hold it till Battleground, where Owens would win it back, only to lose it to Zayn in his big win celebration at Summerslam, ending their first feud, but then I thought about having Owens win MITB, so I scrapped that and gave it to Cesaro. I was thinking about either Lesnar vs Cesaro for the IC Title at Summerslam, or Lesnar vs Owens. I'm still not sure which I'd do, but regardless, Cesaro wins the title here. And godamn, does he deserve it.

Winner and NEW IC Champ: Cesaro.

*2ND MATCH: US TITLE-KALISTO VS RUSEV.

I'm SO happy that they gave Rusev this shot. I think he's so underrated and I love that he's being booked as a monster heel again. Rusev comes out first with Lana and Lana cuts her usual anti America promo and says that Rusev will become a 2 time US Champ tonight. I honestly think this match will be great. It goes about 9 minutes and Kalisto only gets some offense in. Rusev dominates most of the match and he wins with an accolade as Kalisto passes out. Maybe Kalisto could enter the Tag title hunt after this with Sin Cara. I don't think he's ready yet to possibly go into the IC TItke picture. Rusev could continue to dominate. I don't have any idea right now who could win it back from him. By the way, I'll have a MITB card posted at the end of this post.

Winner and NEW US Champ: Rusev.

*3RD MATCH: Tornado Tag- The Usos vs "The Club".

God I hate the name "The Club". For some reason, The Usos beat G&A last week on Raw. I will never understand why. When G&A first debuted, they looked like monsters. Now they're a joke. Not much to say about this match. Gallows and Anderson win with The Boot Of Doom. Hopefully will be a good match. I'm sick to death of these four facing each other, though. After the match, Gallows and Karl EVISCERATE the Usos. They beat them down with chairs, kendo sticks, and more. They throw them into the barricade, over the announce table, into the led boards, and off the stage. They have massive heat as they stand tall after destroying the Usos.

Winners: Gallows and Anderson.

*4TH MATCH: Dean Ambrose vs Chris Jericho (Asylum Match)

The way Ambrose introduced the asylum in raw was cringeworthy. Hopefully no stupid creepy music plays as the cage lowers here. Also, Ambrose said on raw that there is no way to escape this cage... Except the top is open and you can just climb and jump out. That confused me. Plus, Jericho retreated through the door on Smackdown. The cage lowers and we get a video package. Ambrose comes out first to a big pop and then Jericho enters with no light up jacket. How sad. The match goes about 11 minutes. Both men destroy each other and grab the weapons above the cage. Ambrose needs to really emphasize his character, so in this match Ambrose looks like a madman, of course in the sense that he's putting on a great match and doing awesome spots, but also like his tank top is ripped off, his hair frizz eked, he's bleeding from the beating Y2J is giving him. Probably just uses a blood packet. Ambrose beats Jericho two PPV's straight when Jericho goes for a cross body from the top of the cage but Dean runs up the cage and gives Jericho a HUGE Dirty Deeds off the cage to the floor. Ambrose sits on Chris and hooks his leg for the win. I'm leaning towards Jericho beginning a 1 PPV feud with Cesaro over the IC title after this.

Winner: Dean Ambrose.

*5TH MATCH: Tag Team Titles: New Day vs The Vaudevillans

Lots of people actually haven't liked this feud. I think it's been okay. Vaudevillans are still a but stale to the fans, but they're talented. It'll take time. New Day come out first to an enormous pop and everyone recites their pre match promo in unison. They come out and cut their usual insane and funny promo making fun of the Vaudevillans, and sponsoring Booty-O's, etc. But then they get all serious and talk about VV's attack on them from Raw and Smackdown and in recent weeks. They say that after tonight they will still be their W. W. E. WORLD. TAG. TEAM. CHAMPIONS. VV come out to huge heat. They make their entrance and the match starts. It goes about 10 minutes and VV are constantly dicks to New Day to huge heat. The ending to this match will be controversial, but in the long run I think it is the right way to go. The match is really good and the crowd is hot. Vaudevillans get New Day down and they are about to win the titles. They are about to set up for their finisher but Simon Gotch goes to the top rope. Somehow, before this, the ref gets knocked down.Suddenly, we see 2 men come from under the ring and he pushes Gotch off the top rope and he tumbles into the ring. It's none other than Big Cass and the returning Enzo fucking Amore. The crowd pops huge for Enzo's return, and Enzo and Cass and the Vaudevillans engage in an insane brawl. The ref is still knocked out and Enzo and Cass hit Air Enzo on Aidan English, the legal man. Enzo and Cass and New Day are both faces of course, so they help New Day win, and also Gotch "injured" Enzo, so they hate them. Kofi slides in and the crowd is on their feet as New Day are about to retain their titles but suddenly the Dudleys run in from behind and kill Enzo and Cass. They hit a 3D through a table and Kofi is distracted as English rolls up Kofi to win the Tag Titles. The Dudley's still have unfinished business with Enzo and Cass, and they can put them over in a match at MITB. I also feel that while people may not like the Vaudevillans, they could improve, and they wouldn;t hold the titles very long. Plus, they're from NXT, and it could help them getting a jumpstart with the titles. It would garner them nuclear heat from beating the New Day, the hottest act in WWE. What I was thinking was a 4 way match at Summerslam: Vaudevillans (c) vs New Day vs Enzo and Cass vs Dudleys, where Enzo and Cass would finally win the titles back, and the New Day would possibly break up after the match. Regardless, this result may be criticized, but it would work out in the long run. It would result in Enzo and Cass's big win. New Day would obviously get their rematch at MITB.

*Winners and NEW Tag Team Champs: The Vaudevillans.

*Now, for an unannounced segment. It's about 10:00 EST now. Shane and Steph come out together and remind everyone in attendance that next month's PPV is Money In The Bank. They talk about the history of the MITB ladder match and describe how it's changed careers. They put over Rollin's cash in at WM31. They say that tomorrow they will announce all 7 of the participants in this year's historic MITB ladder match. Suddenly, Brock Lesnar's music hits to an enormous pop. Lesnar comes out with Heyman and Heyman says "Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and I am the advocate for the beast incarnate, the conqueror, Brock Lesnar." Heyman talks about next month's MITB ladder match too. He says that ever since Battleground last year when the Undertaker screwed Lesnar out of regaining his title that he technically never lost, Brock has been itching to get back what's his. He reminds everyone how Brock conquered the Undertaker at HIAC, too. Heyman cuts an awesome promo as usual and says that for the first time ever, it will be the biggest MITB ladder match in history, as Heyman announces the Brock Lesnar will be the first entrant in the MITB ladder match. Brock wouldn't win, that would be Owens. But it would be used to set up a program with Brock and Owens at Summerslam. But Lesnar is in the MITB ladder match on June 19th. Everyone better run. The final 6 men would be announced on Raw.

*6TH MATCH: Womens Title- Charlotte vs Natalya (Submission Match).

I had a crazy idea that maybe since RIC Flair couldn't come to ringside, that didn't mean that a returning DAVID Flair couldn't, but that just seems like a dumb idea, and i doubt they can contact David. Maybe that could still happen. Who knows. The build up for this match has actually been quite good. The match goes about 13 minutes and Charlotte wins by herself when she makes Charlotte tap to the Figure 8, with a chair wrapped around Nattie's legs. Just like they were beginning to do with Rollins before he got injured, it needs to be proved to the fans that Charlotte can WIN ON HER OWN. If not, she'll just be taken as a joke. Flair comes down to rinside after the match to congratulate Charlotte. The schedule for the women's title until Summerslam would look like this:

*MITB: Charlotte vs Paige. (Paige rolled up Charlotte on some Raw)

*Battleground: Charlotte vs Becky Lynch.

*Summerslam: Sasha Banks defeats Charlotte for the Women's Title in the first ever Last Woman Standing match.

*Winner and STILL Women's Champion: Charlotte.

*7TH MATCH: Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles for the WWE World Championship. (Extreme Rules Match)

This match is looking like it could be PHENOMENAL. (Ha, puns!). Styles comes out first, followed by Reigns to big boos. The buildup for this match has been truly great. I honestly wouldn't be mad if this feud stretched until MITB. It would be the first 3-PPV feud in a while, and the feud has been great. The match goes about 21 1/2 minutes, and goes all over. Here are a few spots in this match.

*Styles is on the French announce table on the far right and Reigns is down in the timekeepers area, but Reigns gets up and runs and spears Styles through the English announce desk. The Spanish announce table was destroyed in the IC Title match.

*Reigns and Styles both throw a ton of chairs in the ring at the beginning of the match and Styles obviously hits a huge Styles Clash on a stack of like 17 chairs.

*Styles and Reigns brawl to the stage and Styles hits a Phenomenal Forearm, jumping off the titantron, to Reigns.

*Styles is holding a chair, and he's about to throw it at Reigns but Reigns runs at him with a Superman Punch to chair to face.

*They brawl backstage and use the weapons and items backstage to destroy each other.

*Styles sets up a table outside the ring, and he gets up on the apron to grab Reigns but Reigns deliver a move similar to Big E's Suicide Spear to Styles through the ropes through the table.

*Reigns spears Styles through the barricade.

*Lots and lots of chair shots and kendo stick shots, and spots with the steel steps, etc.

Now, I have two different endings for this match in mind, and both of them are huge. One of them I posted for the end of Styles-Reigns in my booking of Payback, which obviously didn't happen, but I think it's pretty damn good:

Reigns is going for the final spear and he's in the corner and he says "OHHHHHHH AHHHHH" when suddenly the lights go out. There is an enormous pop and the crowd is on their feet as they know what's coming. The lights are still out and suddenly the titantron shows the night landscape outside of the arena. And then, Finn freakin Balor walks up in view. He cuts a short promo about how WWE is about to change forever. They're here to destroy anyone in their way. They're not stopping for anyone. They're going to the top of the food chain. Gallows and Anderson walk up behind him now. He says that they're the Balor Club. They do what they want. Their music hits. I found a fab made video that could be similar to their music and titantron, but Balor's name comes first, then Styles. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/Wrd70jb4URI

The roof is being blown off the place as the crowd is chanting This Is Awesome and Holy Shit. They make their way to the ring. Now, I'm not having Balor Club turn on Styles. I just don't feel like that's the right thing to do. Styles is laughing as he joins the club on the outside. Their music is still playing and they are on the right side of the ring if you're on the ramp, and they are just standing on the outside looking at Reigns. Reigns is getting ready to fight when he looks at the titantron and suddenly Dean Ambrose's music hits. Reigns knew that G&A would ambush the Usos, so he has extra backup. Ambrose defeated Jericho earlier in the night and he got a big pop. Now, Reigns and Ambrose are in the ring. Balor Club climbs up on the apron now. It's 2 to 4. You gotta know who the next guy to come out is. Seth Rollins's music hits to a deafening pop and he walks down to the ring in his black and gold pants gear. The crowd is chanting for Rollins and the 3 former shield members look at each other. Balor Club steps into the ring now. Shield and Club on opposite sides. But it's still 3 to 4. Who's out to help The Shield next? Of course, it's everyone's favorite Roman Reigns cousin, Dwayne the Rock Johnson!! The place explodes and Rock makes his grand entrance and then joins the 3 in the ring. Here they are. The Balor Club has finally debuted, and they are staring off with The Shield and the Rock. Just to be clear by the way, this is NOT a shield reunion. Balor Club and Shield would feud on and off, and it would all end with a match at Survivor Series. 4 on 4. Balor,Gallows, Anderson, and Styles vs Rollins, Reigns, Rock, and Ambrose. Over the months Balor Club would add 2-3 more members but the "main branch" of the stable would be the 4. Now, back to the show. The 8 are staring off and Balor is in the middle. He holds up the gun pose with his fingers and shoots the other 4 men as Styles, Gallows and Anderson do the Too Sweet sign. They all run at each other finally and the brawl ensues as the crowd is on their feet. Everyone hits their finishers on each other and it ends as Balor hits a Coup De Grace on Reigns. Shield and Rock are all laid out in the ring and Balor grabs a mic and simply says: "We are the Balor Club. We don't fuck around." He then drops the mic, and sets it on fire, symbolizing how the WWE is about to go up in flames. PPV end.

That's legit just a copy and paste from my Payback booking.

We could do that, OR, just have Rollins return. Rollins is ready to come back. It's clear. Plus, someone posted a message on his facebook earlier today saying "Good Luck tonight, Roman"... And he's been changing his profile picture to different pictures of him holding the WWE title.

Here's my second scenario: Reigns hits the final spear on AJ. The ref is counting the 1... 2... suddenly, Seth Rollins' music hits, preferably this one...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qA3b6AqjiuE

.... to the BIGGEST FUCKING POP OF THE CENTURY. The crowd is going insane as Rollins runs to the ring and destroys Reigns. He beats down Reigns with all the weapons laid out. He hits all his moves. Finally, to finish him off, Rollins appears to be going for a Pedigree on the chair. But no. This is babyface Rollins. There would be a segment tomorrow on Raw with him disbanding from the Authority. Rollins ain't going for no Pedigree on a chair. He runs to the ropes and delivers a godamn Curb Stomp to Roman. Finally, he delivers a beautiful Phoneix Splash to Roman. If you wanna get REALLY crazy, you could have Rollins put AJ's arm over Roman, and have STYLES win the title, and have STYLES VS ROLLINS feud. But that wouldn't really go with what the storyline is. Rollins even said in his Superstar of the year slammy acceptance speech that he would take back the title he never lost, whether it was Reigns or anyone. We could say that Rollins was gonna face Reigns before he got injured, and Reigns stole the title from him. He never lost it. Rollins could win the title back at Summerslam. He wants Reigns still as champ because he wants to finish what he started. He puts Reigns's arm over AJ as the ref counts the 3. The PPV ends when Rollins also Curb Stomp's Styles and he holds up the WWE title to end.

Welp, that's Extreme Rules, everyone. Here's the MITB card:

WWE Title: Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins OR Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles in a 3 Stages of Hell Match.

If Styles vs Reigns happens again, than there could be a thing where Rollins has to prove himself again. It could be Rollins vs Cena at MITB. They are always amazing together. Rollins defeats Cena, the roadblock, and continues his WWE Title pursuit.

MITB Ladder Match: Lesnar vs Owens vs Ambrose vs Kofi vs 

How WWE Should Book: Payback 2016

 

Hey everyone! You may have seen some of my posts before where I fantasy book how WWE should book a certain show! This time we're looking at the "first PPV of the new era", Payback. My god, do I have an ending in mind. Without further ado, here is how I would book the historic night of May 1st 2016, Payback!

Pre Show: A Social Media Lounge segment with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson is announced for later in the kickoff. For the first 20 minutes, the panel hypes the matches and gives their predictions and we're shown a bunch of video packages. Throughout this segment, the panelists keep hinting at but not mentioning the Bullet/Balor club and they ask if AJ will bring "friends" tonight in his match with Reigns. Welp, spoilers, he does. We go to Kalisto vs Ryback for the US Title, a match that has had no build whatsoever. Ryback comes out first followed by the US Champion, Kalisto. Now, I'd have Ryback win this match and the title. Here's why: Kalisto has been booked like shit as US Champ. He's barely on TV, and he's had two feuds in 5 months for the title: Del Rio and Ryback. I'd have Ryback win it here because it's about time Kalisto drops the title, and he could even go into the IC title picture for a while. Ryback wins it here because Ryback shouldn't lose twice in this feud, and Ryback winning the title would lead up to Cena's return and him winning it back. Ryback and Cena would have a match at Money In The Bank, where Cena wins it back and elevates the title again, and brings back the US Open Challenges and all that. I don't think Cena should beat Kalisto for it obviously, because that would make Kalisto look like a jobber. Ryback doesn't have anything to lose, unlike Kalisto, so Ryback wins the title here, and holds it until Money In The Bank, where Cena wins it back. Ryback is just like a placeholder. Extreme Rules is the next PPV, but it's before May 30th, when Cena is returning, so the match would occur at Money In The Bank on June 19th. Ryback could have a short feud with Del Rio and it could be Ryback vs Del Rio at Extreme Rules. I know many people think Ryback is shit, and I agree on that, but in the long run it would be better for Cena to return and defeat Ryback for the title than a rising star like Kalisto.

The match ends when Kalisto goes for a Salida Del Sol on Ryback by running on the ropes but Ryback grabs him and flips him around for his old Backpack Stunner move then hits a Shellshock on him for the win.

Winner and new US Champ: Ryback.

The panel briefly discuses the match and they hype the matches some more and then we have the Social Media Lounge with Gallows and Anderson. Preferably they pick out the questions that hint that Styles could have "help" in the match with Reigns.

The SML ends and the panel gives their final predictions for Styles vs Reigns and we go to the main show.

MAIN SHOW:

1st Match: Enzo and Cass vs The Vaudevillans in the finals of the No.1 Contender Tag Title Tournament.

This match would kick off because the actual tag title match for the winners would take place later and the matches shouldn't be too close together. The commentators welcome us to Payback. Enzo and Cass are out first to a huge pop from the Chicago crowd and they do their pre match promo. They make fun of the Vaudevillans like only they can. Enzo and Cass of course end the promo with Cass spelling Sawft for the crowd. (insert some stupid JBL line yelling "It's spelled S-O-F-T, BYRON!") Vaudevillans come out next to huge boos. The match goes about 9 minutes, this match doesn't need to be long. I'd have Enzo and Cass win here. I don't know if the Dudleys should screw them later in the night. I know this makes VV look weak but they would rebound from their loss soon. Enzo and Cass get the win when Enzo rolls up Aiden English to a giant pop from the Chicago crowd after VV have miscommunication when attempting their finisher and Cass throws out Gotch. Enzo and Cass are the hottest team in WWE right now, with the exception of New Day. I'd have Enzo and Cass win here. I'm debating as I type this if I would have The Dudleys screw Enzo and Cass in the actual championship match instead of the regular finals for more heat, and to further the feud and to have massive heat on the Dudz. I'll decide.

Winners: Enzo and Cass.

2nd Match: The Miz w/Maryse vs Cesaro for the Intercontinental Title.

I sure hope there is a ton of Cesaro Section signs in the chicago crowd for this show and this match. This feud has been horrendous in my opinion. I love Cesaro. The Miz..... is... a guy. The whole buildup has been MizTV segments with the two men throwing cheesy movie lines at each other that 24% of fans got. Many fans dislike Miz and think he's stale. I would have Cesaro win here in a big swerve. Cesaro is probably the best technician in the company now that Daniel Bryan left. I think someone as talented and over as The King Of Swing as IC Champ would bring some real prestige back to it. He should have a nice long reign with it too, like around 9-10 months. The match doesn't need to go long, just about 7 minutes. Cesaro wins with a Sharpshooter. I think a fun spot in this match could be where Cesaro is swinging Miz and Maryse runs in and jumps on Miz to stop the swing and Cesaro gets pissed and swings Maryse. But anyways, Cesaro is your new IC Champ.

Winner and New IC Champ by submission: Cesaro.

3rd Match: Dean Ambrose vs Chris Jericho.

Not much to say about this match other than Ambrose NEEDS a win here. He suffered an underwhelming loss to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania and Jericho is there to put talent OVER RIGHT? (Vince: What are you talking about, damnit, AJ Styles BEAT Jericho at Wrestlemania!") Yeah. Let's just forget about that forever. I think this match will be on of the best on the show. The match goes about 16 minutes and Ambrose wins with a Dirty Deeds. A couple spots in this match:

-Jericho has Ambrose on the Spanish Announce table and Jericho is on the apron and does a Lionsault off the ropes and puts Ambrose through the table.

-To set up the lionsault spot, Jericho has Ambrose in the walls on the table.

-Ambrose and Jericho are brawling all around the arena and at one point Jericho is down in the timekeepers area and Ambrose runs on the announce tables from the opposite side barricade and jumps onto Jericho in the timekeepers area but Jericho catches him with a Codebreaker.

And just a bonus, a fun drinking game could be to drink every time Jericho calls Ambrose an idiot, stupid, or a stupid idiot.

Ambrose wins with the Dirty Deeds as noted.

Winner: Dean Ambrose.

We go to a backstage interview with Renee Young and her guests are The Usos. Renee asks The Usos their thoughts on the main event on if they have anything to say to Gallows and Anderson, who they have been having a mini feud with. The Usos are getting hot and going off on G&A and they say Reigns will retain the title when Gallows and Anderson jump the Usos from behind. Gallows throws Jimmy through the curtain/greenscreen wall and the TVs and they put them through tables and attack them with things near them in the backstage area. Gallows and Anderson do the Too Sweet to huge pop from the Chicago Crowd and they leave as the cameras pan over the Usos, injured after the attack. This will make sense later.

4th Match: Baron Corbin vs Dolph Ziggler.

Clearly WWE is trying to push Corbin big with his Andre Battle Royal win at Mania. He has been dominating Ziggler recently. I'm still not entirely sold on the guy, but I really respect him for trying to get better as I've seen in NXT and him insulting random fat dudes in the crowd is really funny. WWE could really make something with Corbin. Corbin squashes poor Dolph Ziggler and gets the win with an End Of Days on a chair that he snuck into the match earlier. Corbin pins Ziggler for the impressive win as the heat is hopefully on Corbin from the Chicago crowd. Corbin beats Ziggler down after the match with a chair and throws him all around ringside.

Winner: Baron Corbin

And now, Vinnie Mac will decide who runs Monday Night Raw. I had an idea for a mega troll for this Chicago crowd and I think it will be one of the greatest trolls in history. Everyone is expecting Lillian to announce the details for the next match, but suddenly CM Punk's music hits to hopefully one of the biggest pops in the last 10 years. The crowd is going insane and Vince just comes out looking confused and looking at the titantron. He has a mic and the music stops and there is nuclear heat on Vince. The crowd is chanting Asshole and Vince pretends to apologize and says that the tech crew just hit the wrong music. This would be SO funny and Vince could pull it off great, trolling the fans with Vince coming out to Punk's music, thinking he's returning. Vince talks about Shane running Raw recently and makes fun of the crowd. The crowd is still pissed, booing him and chanting asshole at him for the Punk troll. Vince says he needs to think about what's best for bussiness. He starts thinking and says he needs to hear from the devils themselves first, so he brings out Stephanie McMahon to big boos and Steph sucks up to Vince and says she should run Raw. Steph is running her mouth when Shane's music hits to an enormous pop. Shane praises the Chicago crowd for a cheap pop and starts going off on Vince and Stephanie. Shane says that since he's been running Raw lately the fans have loved it. Shane says he's given new stars exposure, and made matches the fans actually want to see, and he's starting a new era. He says that unlike Vince, he's actually listened to what the fans want to see. Vince insults Shane and calls him his bitch. He says he doesn't know what he's talking about. Things get heated with Shane and Vince and suddenly the crowd explodes as we here the words"Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman". Heyman says that he and his client are best for business. Heyman says he should run Raw, and that he would inflict authority in the company. He says that any problems Vince had, who would take care of it? Brock Lesnar. Any time any superstars were being uncooperative. Brock Lesnar would teach them a lesson. He says that WWE would have control again with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar in control. Vince and Paul have words, and Vince sides with Shane. There is a whole big segment and I don't really have an idea of what should happen but in general, Vince ends up swerving everyone and going to Shane's side, and Heyman announces he has a way to settle this. He says that his client couldn't make it to Chicago tonight but he has a proposition. At next month's PPV, the night WWE goes Extreme, at Extreme Rules, it will be Brock Lesnar vs Shane McMahon, Last Man Standing, for control of Raw. Vince accepts. This obviously won't be the last match that involves a stipulation for control of Raw. I just think Heyman in that situation would be really interesting and fresh, and Lesnar would be there to kill anyone who causes a problem.

If you REALLY want to mix things up... WWE could find some way to bring back Big People Power Johnny Laurinitus. I even saw some people in a thread saying that Teddy Long could appear. Even Eric Bischoff, which I REALLY want to be brought back solely for this angle just to hear his music again. My god. Imagine if Eric Bischoff returned tonight...

We go to the Kickoff Panel now to get their thoughts on the show so far.

5th Match: The New Day vs Enzo and Cass for the Tag Team Titles.

Again, I don't know how this match should go. Both teams are so godamn over, and I feel like New Day has held the titles for long enough but I feel like they shouldn't lose them here. Enzo and Cass should not win the titles here, though. Much like Zayn in the Zayn-Owens feud, Zayn is the huge over baby face underdog and his character is that he just can't seem to come out on top at first, but he keeps trying and it all eventually leads to his big win and celebration, when he hopefully meets Owens in the culmination of their first feud on the main roster of many to come at Summerslam for the IC Title. I feel like the Dudleys have unfinished business with Enzo and Cass, and screwing them here would get them nuclear heat. New Day come out to a huge pop and they do their usual wacky comedy New Day lines, and they remind us that this tournament is sponsored by Booty O's. Kofi says he had a son recently and the crowd cheers. He says that he's only currently feeding him Booty'O. That way, when he/she grows up, it'll make sure that they aren't booty. He says that the New Day is certified to fight any children in the crowd who think they're better than Kofi's new kid. They make fun of Enzo and Cass and the crowd is clapping New Day rocks as Woods plays the trombone. Enzo and Cass do come out and call New Day sawft and make fun of them. The match starts and Cass and Big E start off and have a stare downs The two big guys on each team. The crowd is dueling chanting (How You Doin? New! Day Rocks!), and both teams are over as hell. it goes about 14 minutes and New Day win when the ref is knocked out from earlier in the match and Enzo and Cass are going for the Air Enzo/Rocket Launcher, (whatever their finisher is called), and the Dudleys push Enzo off the rope rope and start beating them down to massive boos. The Dudleys hit a 3D on Enzo and then go to the ramp and laugh as Big E crawls in the ring and pins Enzo to retain their titles. Enzo and Cass would go on to have their final battle with the Dudleys, in either an Elimination Tornado Tag Match or Steel Cage match at Extreme Rules. Actually, New Day could defend against whoever their challengers are in a Steel Cage, and Enzo and Cass could face the Dudleys in an Elimination Tables match. Enzo and Cass would finally eventually win the titles at Summerslam. Judging by what i've said, Summerslam looks like the ppv with the most "long-time coming" if you will, wins in recent memory.

Winners and still WWE Tag Team Champions: The New Day.

6th Match: Charlotte w/Ric Flair vs Natalya w/Bret Hart for the Women's Championship. (God, it feels good to type that).

I'm not even sure if Flair will be here since he told Nattie to kill herself on Smackdown, and then he had the incident at the airport. Assuming he will. We get a video package for this match and Natalya comes out first with Bret to a big pop. Charlotte comes out next with Flair and we get formal ring introductions. Charlotte has been doing great as a heel recently, despite what anyone else thinks. Most of the screwjob finishes Flair has caused to help Charlotte have turned out great. The match goes about 10 minutes and is hopefully awesome, because Natalya and Charlotte are always amazing together. The crowd is really into it hopefully, and Charlotte retains the Womens Title when Charlotte actually is tapping out to Nattie but Flair runs over as fast as he can to the bell ringer and snatches the bell from him. Since the bell wasn't rung, the match didn't officially end, which means Charlotte didn't officially tap out. Nattie breaks the hold and starts yelling at Ric. The bell ringer eventually gets the bell back from Flair, and rings the bell, and tells Lillian Garcia to announce that since Flair illegally stole the ring bell, Charlotte is still champ by DQ. Flair and Charlotte are celebrating, and Natalya and Bret look pissed. Natalya gets a mini rematch at Extreme Rules, but Becky Lynch and Sasha are also added back into the title picture, when it's Charlotte vs Natalya vs Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch in a fatal fourway New Jersey Street Fight, which Extreme Rules is in New Jersey, and I also think it would be the first ever Women's Street Fight. Forgot to mention that an obvious spot in the Nattie-Charlotte match here is that Charlotte has Nattie in the Figure-8 inside the ring, as does Flair on Bret on the outside, but Nattie gets out and puts Charlotte in the Sharpshooter, as does Bret to Ric. Just a cool little easter egg.

Winner by DQ: Natalya. But still Women's Champ: Charlotte.

7th Match: Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn.

This match is gonna be awesome. We get the video package we saw on Raw with the history between the two men. Sami Zayn comes out first to a giant pop and the crowd sings his theme song. Owens is out next. Zayn runs at Owens as he's making his entrance and they do the spot where they keep punching each other over and over again. This match goes about 18 minutes and is likely absolutely awesome. There is lots of high spots and they brawl into the crowd. Zayn does his DDT through the ring post spot and suicide dives by both men. The crowd is chanting This is Awesome. One of the big spots in the match is that they are brawling in the crowd and they are near the doors and the balcony area and Zayn is down on the floor. Owens climbs the stairs and stands on the barricade and delivers a giant frogsplash to Zayn and they both go through the floor. The match ends when Owens is stunned in the corner and Sami is going for the Helluva Kick but Owens catches him and throws him up for a Pop-Up Powerbomb. Owens is celebrating after the match and continues to stomp Zayn after the match to massive heat. After the match Owens goes to the back and the crowd is chanting for Sami as cameras show him go, injured, to the back.

We get an advertisement for Extreme Rules, and the new shows coming to the WWE network.

8th Match: Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles for the WWE World Heavyweight Title.

Ah, here we go. There is SO many possibilities of what could happen in this match. AJ wins the title in a giant swerve clean. Roman retains clean and people are pissed. Balor Club attacks debuts and attacks Reigns to help AJ win. Balor Club debuts and attacks STYLES to help Roman retain. Among other scenarios. But I have one that I think will blow all of that away.

We get the video package for the match and it's hyped up. The video package ends with a gunshot sound. HiNT HINT. Roman Reigns comes out first to NUCLEAR DEAFENING BOOS from the Chicago crowd. Reigns makes his way to the ring and his music stops and there is some time to build hype before Styles comes out. There is a different atmosphere in the arena and it feels like a big fight feel. The crowd is chanting for Styles and after about 30 seconds his music finally hits to a huge pop. Styles comes out and makes his usual entrance. The match goes about 16 minutes and is hopefully phenomenal. PUNS! There is lots of awesome spots, like Reigns spearing Styles through a barricade, Styles going for a Phenomenal Forearm and Reigns counters into a Superman Punch, among other things. And of course, Styles goes for a Styles Clash to an enormous reaction. Now, I hate that like 3 people have already kicked out of the Styles Clash in WWE, but the match needs to go on for the big ending, so Reigns kicks out of the styles clash for a great near fall. The insanity begins and the match is nearing it's end when Reigns hits a superman punch on AJ. Reigns is going for the final spear and he's in the corner and he says "OHHHHHHH AHHHHH" when suddenly the lights go out. There is an enormous pop and the crowd is on their feet as they know what's coming. The lights are still out and suddenly the titantron shows the night landscape outside of the arena. And then, Finn freakin Balor walks up in view. He cuts a short promo about how WWE is about to change forever. They're here to destroy anyone in their way. They're not stopping for anyone. They're going to the top of the food chain. Gallows and Anderson walk up behind him now. He says that they're the Balor Club. They do what they want. Their music hits. I found a fab made video that could be similar to their music and titantron, but Balor's name comes first, then Styles. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/Wrd70jb4URI

The roof is being blown off the place as the crowd is chanting This Is Awesome and Holy Shit. They make their way to the ring. Now, I'm not having Balor Club turn on Styles. I just don't feel like that's the right thing to do. Styles is laughing as he joins the club on the outside. Their music is still playing and they are on the right side of the ring if you're on the ramp, and they are just standing on the outside looking at Reigns. Reigns is getting ready to fight when he looks at the titantron and suddenly Dean Ambrose's music hits. Reigns knew that G&A would ambush the Usos, so he has extra backup. Ambrose defeated Jericho earlier in the night and he got a big pop. Now, Reigns and Ambrose are in the ring. Balor Club climbs up on the apron now. It's 2 to 4. You gotta know who the next guy to come out is. Seth Rollins's music hits to a deafening pop and he walks down to the ring in his black and gold pants gear. The crowd is chanting for Rollins and the 3 former shield members look at each other. Balor Club steps into the ring now. Shield and Club on opposite sides. But it's still 3 to 4. Who's out to help The Shield next? Of course, it's everyone's favorite Roman Reigns cousin, Dwayne the Rock Johnson!! The place explodes and Rock makes his grand entrance and then joins the 3 in the ring. Here they are. The Balor Club has finally debuted, and they are staring off with The Shield and the Rock.

Just to be clear by the way, this is NOT a shield reunion. Balor Club and Shield would feud on and off, and it would all end with a match at Survivor Series. 4 on 4. Balor,Gallows, Anderson, and Styles vs Rollins, Reigns, Rock, and Ambrose. Over the months Balor Club would add 2-3 more members but the "main branch" of the stable would be the 4. Now, back to the show. The 8 are staring off and Balor is in the middle. He holds up the gun pose with his fingers and shoots the other 4 men as Styles, Gallows and Anderson do the Too Sweet sign. They all run at each other finally and the brawl ensues as the crowd is on their feet. Everyone hits their finishers on each other and it ends as Balor hits a Coup De Grace on Reigns. Shield and Rock are all laid out in the ring and Balor grabs a mic and simply says: "We are the Balor Club. We don't fuck around." He then drops the mic, and sets it on fire, symbolizing how the WWE is about to go up in flames. PPV end.

Balor Club continues to dominate for about a year. By the way, this would obviously mark the start of a Rollins babyface run. Balor Club would kick off Raw the following night and continue their thing with Reigns. It would likely be Reigns vs Balor for the title at Extreme Rules, maybe in an Extreme Rules match. I'll put the preferred Extreme Rules card below. Also, just to clarify, Rollins would still definitely continue to be a top star. For the first 1-2 months of his return he could maybe have a very short run with the Intercontinental Title. He would continue to be a main eventer and could maybe win the WWE Title back in a match at Summerslam. Rollins would have a separate segment at the beginning of the second hour of Raw the following night where he breaks up with the Authority. Well, that's all I have in terms of Payback. I think that would be a pretty damn good PPV.

Extreme Rules Card:

-WWE Title: Roman Reigns vs Finn Balor (Extreme Rules Match)

-Brock Lesnar vs Shane McMahon for Control of Raw. (Last Man Standing)

-IC Title: Cesaro vs Chris Jericho

-Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn (I Quit Match)

-Tag Team Titles: New Day vs Gallows and Anderson (Steel Cage Match)

-Enzo and Cass vs The Dudley Boys (Tornado Tag Elimination Tables Match)

-Women's Title: Charlotte vs Natalya vs Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch (Fatal Fourway New Jersey Street Fight)

-Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles

-Dean Ambrose vs Baron Corbin

-Kickoff Show: Ryback vs Alberto Del Rio for US Title.

If you think there's too many matches with Stipulations, there's not. It's called Extreme Rules for a reason.

Well, that was how I would book Payback. I applaud any of you who actually sat down and read the whole thing. I hope you liked it! Tell me if you would like to see anything I wrote. Be sure to look out for my "How WWE Should Book Extreme Rules 2016" post the day before that! Thanks for reading.
