WWE Payback 2015: Feuds Guaranteed to Disappoint Fans

Following up the 2015 edition of Extreme Rules will be imperative to WWE, but several feuds are guaranteed to disappoint fans at Sunday's Payback pay-per-view.

From Dolph Ziggler's lackluster storyline against Sheamus to the Divas Championship scene to Bray Wyatt taking on Ryback, few matches and programs are living up to their potential heading into the May PPV.

Here are the feuds guaranteed to disappoint fans at the 2015 edition of Payback.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus

The WWE Universe was desperate to get Sheamus back as a top heel due to the fact that he is good on the mic and in the ring, but he lacked a marquee storyline. What the fans didn't want was a Kiss Me Arse match at Extreme Rules.

There is little doubt that the likely matchup between Ziggler and Sheamus at Payback should be an entertaining battle in the ring, but the lack of a legitimate storyline has few fans genuinely excited about the outcome. Neither man has anything to gain or lose.

Sheamus took the loss at Extreme Rules—despite not actually kissing Ziggler's arse—so traditional booking would point to the Irish star getting a win of his own. With the result obvious, the two combatants must steal the show in the ring to get the respect they deserve.

The Divas Championship Scene

Few portions of WWE programming are as frustrating every week as the Divas Championship scene. With less than a week before Payback, it is unclear which match or matches will represent the division.

While Naomi has earned another bout against Nikki Bella, the addition of Tamina Snuka as Naomi's bodyguard and the impromptu face turn for the Bella Twins have the majority of the WWE Universe confused.

For months, Nikki and Brie have been two of the most despicable heels in the company. Now, WWE Creative expects the fans to embrace the twins as heroes. Whether this is a singles match between Nikki and Naomi or a tag team match, it will be a disappointment.

Bray Wyatt vs. Ryback

As great as Bray Wyatt has been on the mic since making his WWE debut on the main roster, few fans are excited about the in-ring battle between Wyatt and likely Payback challenger Ryback.

Both men can have solid matches with elite competition, but they have similar styles, and it could result in a boring match. The hope, though, is that this is just the vehicle the WWE uses to re-form the Wyatt Family.

The company has been teasing the possible reformation of the heel stable slowly, so there is a chance the WWE Universe gets another hint at Payback. In the same vein, there is a chance fans don't see any storyline development beyond Wyatt getting the win he dropped when he lost to Undertaker at WrestleMania 31.
