Jim Ross talked about WWE Payback and more in his latest blog. You can check out a few highlights below and real the full thing by clicking HERE.
His Thoughts On Payback:
“Overall, I thought the show was solid…not great but certainly a solid show that had it’s moments. With the overall lack of main event depth in the business, I often wonder if it’s possible to have a successful run of ‘great’ shows from beginning until end within the PPV world. Nonetheless, Payback was solid and I’m happy that I got home in time to watch it live.”
The Main Event:
“The show did need a big finish and the Fatal Four Way WWE Title bout delivered that result. The fans certainly made their feelings known that they wanted the Shield to get back together. Will WWE listen or do they have a better plan in mind? I do feel that Reigns should be a villain without question which will subsequently foster him straight into the upper echelon as a fan favorite if executed soundly and logically. I had no problem with Rollins winning even though some fans via Twitter @JRsBBQ did but Rollins is still evolving and I say let him grow. As I’ve said on the Ross Report podcast, I’d keep Rollins as the champion including him dodging a Lesnar bullet at Summer Slam, Lesnar wins the Royal Rumble and then it’s Brock vs Rollins at WrestleMania in Texas where the ‘chasing’ fan favorite regains the championship.”
Steve Austin’s Podcast With Paul Heyman:
“As I eluded to in one of our last blogs here a few days ago, Steve Austin is returning to the WWE Network on June 1 to interview Paul Heyman. That will be a great piece of business between two old friends. Smart positioning by WWE to entice fans to subscribe to the WWE Network. That interview alone is worth the $9.99.”
