It protects Cesaro a little bit but I still feel like they should have given him a win. I would have been really happy with both of them having easy wins at Payback then start a feud. It doesn’t help that roll ups are always weak especially after a smash mouth match.

For some reason, we have a Rybaxel vs Cody Rhodes & Goldust. They only had three matches planned for Payback so it’s going to be a guessing game the whole time.

Lana comes out to introduce Alexander Rusev. Just in case you didn’t know who to root for, Big E Langston has gone to wearing red, white & blue tights. I wonder if these two had a lengthy feud in NXT and the WWE is hoping moving the feud to the main roster will spark both of them. Langston spears Rusev off the apron. A leg lariat slows down Big E. The Accolade for the win. Or maybe we’re going to see the demise of Big E.

It looked like Kofi Kingston was going to Bo-Lieve but Kane comes down to the ring. Kane attacks Kofi. He ends proceedings with a Tomb Stone. Nice of them to get us to the nine o’clock hour. All Kofi has to do to come back is Bo-Lieve. What a douche. Ha. No one cares that Hornswoggle got his hair cut.

RVD comes out to challenge for the Intercontinental Title against Bad News Barrett. I don’t care about this match. RVD should do the job in this match.

Stephanie McMahon comes out for what will be the longest segment of the night. Daniel Bryan comes out to a huge pop. Brie Bella comes out with him. Stephanie of course insults them. If Steph is going to argue that she is doing the right thing, she does need to do more to acknowledge that the crowd isn’t behind her decision since she’s selling it that way. Steph is the first one to make a “CM Punk quit” comment. Bryan & Brie want Steph’s kids to know that she’s a bitch. Brie quits before Steph can fire her. Brie slaps Steph.

Cena looks to be getting an AA when Wyatt jumps off. Wyatt body blocks Cena thru the barricade. I screw myself and hit refresh and went to the Diva’s Title match. Ugh. I’ll have to do this part of show later. Alicia Fox goes crazy. Luckily, she only runs to the back like an idiot.

So this is the part that I re-watch the show. I got to watch some Total Divas in Cabo in the mean time. Lucky me, I know. They fight into the crowd after the barricade recovery. Cena AAs Wyatt thru a case from the top of another one. Cena stacks up another case on him. The referee counts to ten. I loved that match. I think Wyatt is too young to get a huge win like this one in a feud. He put in his best in and out of ring effort tonight and should be rewarded as such.

Seth Rollins is in the ring against HHH. Orton is taking on Ambrose and Reigns & Batista are paired off. Batista got tossed into the stairs.
