My predictions for WWE Payback 2014

El Torito vs. Hornswoggle
in a Mask vs. Hair Match

Well, it came down to this, didn't it? These guys go at it on the kick-off again, but this time we have stuff on the line: Hornswoggle's hair and El Torito's mask. It's a Lucha de Apuestas match of hilarious match if last month's WeeLC Match was any indication, and one of these two things must go!

My prediction: El Torito's keeping the mask. Sorry, 'Swoggle.

Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista)
vs. The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns)
in a No Holds Barred Elimination Match

The Shield won Round One at Extreme Rules...but can they pull it off again, even if Evolution were to narrow down their numbers with both no-DQ and elimination tag rules>

My prediction: Hoping The Shield pull a repeat performance.

John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt
in a Last Man Standing Match

Cena and Wyatt have dishing punishment at each other at both WrestleMania 30 and Extreme Rules. Both men have gotten a win on each other...but how will this all end?

My prediction: John Cena will win the rubber match.

Bad News Barrett (c) vs Rob Van Dam
for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Thanks to a Beat The Clock challenge, Rob Van Dam has a shot at the Intercontinental title. Not bad for someone who has just returned. But Bad News Barrett has just won the title last month, and he won't let go of it easily.

My prediction: Bad News Barrett will retain.

Sheamus vs. Cesaro
for the WWE United States Championship

Well, it was bound to happen, wasn't it? Since Cesaro doesn't want to shake Sheamus' hand (unless he's laid out), it was only natural for a US title defense, even if this has been going on for less than two weeks.

My prediction: Cesaro will win the United States title.

Paige (c) vs. Alicia Fox
for the WWE Divas Championship

After her crazy meltdowns from the last few weeks, Alicia Fox has finally gotten noticed...as well as a title shot against Paige herself! But will that be enough for Alicia Fox to dominate and become Divas champ again for the first time in basically forever?

My prediction: Paige will probably retain.

Big E vs. Rusev

Rusev may have met his match in the form of Big E after trying to attack "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan...or has he?

My prediction: Rusev might win this one, but he'll have to put in more of an effort to do it.

Will Daniel Bryan personally surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship...or will Brie Bella be fired for putting her hands on Stephanie McMahon?

My prediction: Daniel Bryan, as much as he doesn't want to (and as much as we don't want to see it), will reluctantly personally surrender the title to Stephanie McMahon at Payback to save his wife Brie's job. I also smell a ladder match for the title at the upcoming Money In The Bank as a result. But who knows what will happen?

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for May 29, 2014

Bully Ray starts the show. He plans to put Bobby Lashley, Ethan Carter III, Kenny King, MVP, Rockstar Spud and Dixie Carter through tables. MVP shows up and says nobody will go through a table tonight, then brings out Bobby Lashley and Kenny King.

Austin Aries challenges MVP and his goons to a six-man tag match, and Bully Ray says that if they had the balls, they'd have the match right now. Rockstar Spud ends up going through a table.

Dixie and MVP almost comes to blow over the latter's overstepping of bounds when Eric Young and Bully Ray. MVP runs his mouth, causing EY to almost do something rash before Bully Ray stops him from going after him with a pipe...and EY returning the favor when Bully Ray wants to pound MVP's head in. MVP then decides to put Eric Young and Bully Ray in a match against each other, with Ethan Carter III as special guest referee to stop any funny business, but Bully Ray would rather be fired than face Eric Young in a match. Dixie calls his bluff, which turns out to be a big mistake as it makes Bully double on his promise to take his other five enemies - MVP, King, Lashley, Dixie and EC3 - through a table.

Madison explains that the crap between her and them has been built up for years, and says all that should be between the three of them. Brittany confesses to Madison that she just wanted to be with her, which freaks Madison out. The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Madison Rayne) make fun of this turn of events, saying they made Madison this way and that Madison broke Brittany's heart. Madison tells Angelina that she'd better be worried about the Knockouts title, because she's reclaiming it at Slammiversary XII.

Kenny King shows up and becomes guest ring announcer for the next match. Bobby Lashley is announced special guest enforcer, MVP special guest timekeeper, and of course, Ethan Carter III as special guest referee.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 26, 2014

Today is Memorial Day here in the good ol' United States of America!

Stephanie McMahon and Triple H show up. Stephanie says tonight is all about choices, and wants Daniel Bryan to make the right choice: personally surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Triple H agrees, saying Daniel is a flash in the pan. He also says The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) will fall victim to Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista) at Payback...after a contract signing tonight, of course. Stephanie calls out Brad Maddox. He shows up. Triple H chastises Brad for allowing The Shield to interfere in Seth Rollins vs. Batista last week, and Brad said The Shield forced him to allow them in. Stephanie sends out Kane, who demolishes Maddox with a choke slam and a Tombstone Piledriver. Stephanie obviously enjoys it, and it's pretty easy to tell she's controlling him. Stephanie McMahon then fires Brad Maddox from his position as Raw General Manager.

The Brotherhood (Cody Rhodes and Goldust) meets Randy Orton and Batista.

When Lawler refuses, Harper and Rowan surround the commentary table, and Lawler has no choice when they lay out JBL for trying to confront Wyatt. Wyatt confronts Lawler for being an ally of John Cena, but before the Wyatts can harm him, Cena runs in only to be outnumbered, and Wyatt makes Cena watch him put Jerry Lawler in the Sister Abigail. Before that can happen, though, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) show up and even the odds, saving both Cena and Lawler and forcing the Wyatts to retreat. Cena confronts Bray Wyatt about his change in behavior since they first tied up before WrestleMania 30, then promises that he'll come out on top at Payback.

D-Bry says his injury is worse than previously thought, and agrees with personally surrendering the title...but calls her out on being able to control Kane when he took out Brad Maddox earlier this evening. Now that he knows she's lying through her teeth about not being able to control Kane in the past few weeks, he refuses to do so, as this is exactly what Stephanie wants so she can stick it to the fans yet again. Stephanie mentions that Brie Bella put her hands on her two weeks ago while Daniel Bryan was being put in the ambulance, however, and gives him until Payback to make his choice: either personally surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship or Brie Bella is fired!

Emma beats Alicia Fox...then Fox beats Emma up. Then the craziness begins, as Alicia Fox goes nuts one more time, giving a guy a wedgie.

John Cena salutes the troops.

The kickoff for Payback is El Torito vs Hornswoggle in a Mask vs. Hair match!

This Friday on SmackDown: US champ Sheamus vs IC champ Bad News Barrett! It's Champion vs. Champion!

Sheamus beats Alberto Del Rio. After the match, Heyman speaks on the mic so he can distract Sheamus, leaving Cesaro to viciously blindside The Great White.

The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) throw away the chairs and table before Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista) show up for the contract signing for their match. Triple H tells The Shield they're signing their death warning, but they don't care. They sign anyway, as does Evolution. The inevitable brawl happens. Evolution comes out on top this time, with Roman Reigns being powerbombed through a table by all three members of Evolution.

She still hasn't told anyone else as she feels the others will think of her differently. Eva tries to remove herself from the party, but Ariane notices, follows her and asks her if anything's wrong. Eva tells Ariane she isn't feeling well and takes a taxi back to the bachelorette pad, even those she's clearly upset. Everyone finds out about it and they are immediately concerned.

The next morning, everyone has breakfast. Everyone notices a whale jump out of the ocean nearby.

The TitanTron soon shows a limo pulling up into the arena, and as soon as Triple H steps out, The Shield run straight to the back.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for May 11, 2014

Nikki is talking to Brie - and making coffee - when he gets a big package from Nattie. It's a painting of Nikki and John. It's pretty clear that Nattie isn't the best artist in the world.

Ariane's new single "Bye Bye," is about to come out, and she is hitting up clubs, setting up a premiere party as she tries to get some more buzz.

Nikki and Brie are at Nikki's house. Nattie is on her way over there. Neither of them like the picture, and the picture is only out in the open as long as she's in the house. Nattie says the painting is a lot more thoughtful and tailor-made than a gift card.

Cameron heads down a popular street to look for some paparazzi...and accidentally leave Glitty in the car and have to retrieve her. They get Glitty out of the car, but they also get the paparazzi, all right.

Mark Caranno talks with Eva Marie and Summer Rae. He wants to give them a test run as a tag team. After the meeting, Summer Rae and Eva Marie decide to practice when they get the time.

Eva Marie tells Brie the good news. Brie tells Eva Marie to be careful near Summer Rae, as she has the feeling she's going to leave her high and dry.

Summer Rae and Eva Marie train at the gym. Summer and Eva gel immediately.

As Ariane and Vinnie have lunch, Ariane checks for any pictures of herself on the Internet from the recent paparazzi photo shoot. Turns out the only reason they took pictures of her and Vinnie was because Kim Kardashian was nearby.

Nattie sits down at the patio to paint another portrait, this time of Brie and Bryan. TJ isn't very impressed.

Ariane meets up with a good friend that'll definitely get her attention from the paparazzi. That friend is none other than popular recording artist Ray J. As expected, the paparazzi work their magic before they even enter the gym. Ray J even gets some MMA training in, and the paparazzi eat this up.

Summer Rae and Eva Marie are still at the gym...and it becomes apparent to Summer Rae needs a lot of practice when Eva can't do a camel clutch. Eva says she has a hectic schedule, but Summer says her schedule is just as packed. Summer feels if Eva doesn't do well, it reflects poorly on her.

Nattie and TJ have decided to hand Brie and Bryan their portrait in person. The fact that their rental is a compact car doesn't make matters much better, as Nattie has to tie it to the roof of the car with leggings, and TJ makes fun of the whole endeavor. The portrait almost comes off the roof, and they have to retrieve it. Meanwhile, Eva Marie wears something a bit too revealing for Mrs. Sandra's taste.

Nattie and TJ amazingly get the portrait to the arena in one piece and personally hand it to Brie and Bryan. Brie doesn't like it, and has to pretend to like it so as not to offend Nattie. Not surprisingly Bryan doesn't like it either, though he appreciates the effort.

Summer Rae talks with Fandango backstage concerning the stuff with her and Eva Marie, then talks about it with Mark Carrano to see if there's anything he can do. The tag match Summer and Eva are in is now a six-Diva tag match, and they team up with Tamina Snuka. During the match, Summer refuses to tag in Eva Marie and tags Tamina in instead. Eva Marie is not impressed.

Eva Marie confronts Summer Rae backstage after the match, and Eva Marie ends up feeling betrayed. She talks to Ariane about this, and Brie runs into Summer Rae. Summer tells Brie that Eva Marie sucks. As for Eva Marie, even Tamina Snuka is not at all happy with Summer's behavior, and tells her not to let Summer bury her again. Brie, Nikki and Nattie also show up to hear about what happened. Brie tells Eva Marie what Summer said to her, and the friendship between Summer Rae and Eva Marie is now soured.

Eva Marie confronts Summer Rae concerning what Summer said to Brie and tells her she's done with her. Summer Rae doesn't even care.

During Ariane's photo shoot, Vinnie finds the paparazzi photos of Ariane with Ray J. He's very concerned, as the paparazzi have spinned this as Ariane leaving him.

The night of Ariane's single release party for "Bye Bye" has arrived. Vinny is still crossed about the photos with her and Ray J, but Ariane knows it's just a media spin. Amazingly, Eva Marie is with Ariane at the single release party and is the only Total Divas to attend, which is a far cry from the drama between them over Eva's nude photos and confirming that they've buried the hatchet. Ariane tells her about Vinnie's disapproval at the Ray J photos, and she knows she made a mistake not telling him she was going to do this. Vinny shows up, and Ariane apologizes for her actions. He accepts her apology.

The next night, Eva Marie is trying to stay professional near Summer Rae. Trinity is injured in the ring when Aksana knees Trinity in her left eye, causing extreme pain. Naomi still powers her way through the match. The Total Divas see her holding her hand over her eye backstage.

Bonus clip: Summer Rae calls Fandango.

Bonus clip: Summer Rae and Eva Marie go shopping.
