WWE Payback 2016 Card: Complete Odds and Betting Predictions for Every Match

The Doctor Chris MuellerApr 30, 2016

The card WWE has set for this year's Payback pay-per-view has the potential to leave fans more satisfied than WrestleMania 32, especially since the show won't last seven long hours.

Bleacher Report's James Moffat has compiled predictions for every match. Here is a breakdown of who Erik Beaston, Anthony Mango, Brad Jones and Moffat think will come away from the PPV with a win.

Most of the matches saw a consensus among the writers, but a few bouts produced different opinions. The finals of the tag team tournament to determine the No. 1 contenders for the Tag Team Championships split them right down the middle.

At this point, both teams could reasonably challenge for the titles, but there are some determining factors that could make the difference.

Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady started a feud with The Dudley Boyz before the tournament started, so we could see Bubba and D-Von interfere and cost them the match.

We also have to remember that The New Day are babyfaces now. If WWE wants a heel team to face the group, then The Vaudevillains are the clear choice.

Another match that seems to split the writers is Owens vs. Zayn. This is one of those bouts where picking the winner is tough because it's unlikely the feud will end at Payback.

Owens dominated Zayn in NXT to the point of putting him on the shelf for a few months, so WWE may want Zayn to get a little momentum with a big win on the main roster.

The only championship most of the panel seems to think will change hands is the United States Championship. Ryback was unsuccessful against Kalisto at WrestleMania, but this may be the right time to put a singles title on him to see how he does.

When it comes to the main event, Reigns is the heavy favorite, but with Gallows and Anderson becoming a thorn in his side, it's possible Styles could walk away with the belt thanks to some outside help.

If you are planning on betting on the outcomes of the matches at Payback, then the picks above would be your best options. But remember, these are B/R writers giving these predictions, not a betting site.
