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?
