The WWE Universe was assuming based on Raw’s storylines over the past couple of weeks that Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt would begin an exciting feud and Dean Ambrose would defend the Intercontinental Championship and continue the rivalry with The Miz after Payback.

A lot of people may be disappointed to learn that WWE officials could be canceling both feuds for after this Sunday’s PPV. It’s being reported by CageSideSeats that WWE officials are now planning Ambrose vs. Wyatt while Finn Balor and The Miz begin a feud of their own on Raw.
Balor vs. Miz may not be as exciting as Balor vs. Wyatt, but there are few heels better than The Miz right now. Finn Balor’s comeback hasn’t been as exciting as most fans assumed it’d be months ago, but a good feud and win over Miz will be great for Balor to get the ball rolling.
Ambrose vs. Wyatt feuding over the IC Championship may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but a lot of people were upset with Wyatt’s WWE Title run. It’s possible he’ll eventually capture the IC Title. That could look like a consolation prize to some people, but it will be good for Wyatt.
Finn came back at a weird time. Everyone he could have started feuding with right away was either already in a program with someone or they turned face (Seth Rollins). WWE has just been trying to keep him busy and on TV until whoever they decide to put him in a feud with is done doing whatever it is they’re currently engaged in.
