Pre-Show: The Alliance (c) vs The Lusos
The Alliance walk down to the ring, gloating to the crowd about their titles. Then, the Lusos' music hits, but no one comes to the ring. Instead, live feed from backstage pops up on the titantron, showing Jimmy Uso and Erick Rowan beating the Lusos down!
Your winners by forfeit, and still WWE Tag Team Champions: The Alliance
Rowan and Jimmy Uso drag Luke Harper down to the ring, and the Alliance just watches from ringside as Rowan hits a chokeslam on his former partner. Then, Jimmy jumps from the top rope and hits the Uso Splash! Harper is taken off on a stretcher as Erick Rowan grabs a mic to say three words:
Rowan: Jey… You're next.
Cole: Wow… For a second-straight PPV, the pre-show has been stunning!
JBL: The Lusos aren't gonna be happy with losing a title shot due to Rowan and Jimmy's attacks!
Cole: Now it's time for another tag match, one that I hope actually takes place...
Match 1 (World Tag Team Championship): The Mega Powers (c) vs The Power House w/ Paul Heyman
Cena starts the match in the ring against Brock Lesnar, who dominates early on. Cena tries fighting back, but Lesnar evaded the Five-Knuckle Shuffle and hit an F5 later on, which led to a 2 count. He tagged Sheamus in, who beat down Cena, and Orton as well when he came into the match. Sheamus hit White Noise on Orton, and tagged Lesnar in as Randy crawled to his corner. All seemed to being going well for the Power House.
However, when Lesnar came in, Sheamus shocked the WWE Universe by hitting his partner with a jaw-breaking Brogue Kick! He rolled out of the ring, and left the match with Paul Heyman by his side. Lesnar was basically knocked out, and Cena picked him up for an Attitude Adjustment to assure his team the win while Sheamus and Heyman watched from the stage.
Your winners, and still World Tag Team Champions, the Mega Powers
Medics checked on Lesnar's jaw as Sheamus and Heyman walked to the locker room.
Match 2 (Intercontinental Championship): Dean Ambrose (c) vs Kofi Kingston (Falls Count Anywhere)
Neither Kingston nor Dean ended up leaving the ring in this match, making people thing that Kofi chose the stipulation just to give Dean a bit too much confidence. Ambrose started with a bunch of DDTs and a big running clothesline, but Kofi turned it around with a neck breaker, a dropkick, and a big knee drop. Apparently, the knee made legitimate contact with Dean's skull, and he seemed to be concussed through the rest of the match. Kofi dropkicked Dean again, then hit the Boom Drop for the pinfall. Kofi has gotten his belt back!
Your winner, and the NEW Intercontinental Champion: Kofi Kingston
Kofi helped Dean up and the two competitors walked back to the locker room, with Kofi holding his new belt over his left shoulder.
Match 3 (United States Championship): Big E (c) vs Dolph Ziggler
Dolph goes to lock up with Big E to start the match, but the champ was having none of that and just shoved Dolph to the ground. This set a switch off in Dolph's mind, and he seemed to mirror Big E's intensity for the rest of the match. Ziggler hit a big dropkick, but Big E regained momentum when he picked Dolph up and dropped him onto the top rope. The champion hit his running signature, but decided not to pin. Ziggler hit his Jumping DDT out of nowhere for a 2 count, then after 2 consecutive dropkicks, he hit Big E with a second Jumping DDT.
But Ziggler was not done. Dolph Irish Whipped Big E over the top rope, then came out onto the apron and hit an Apron DDT! What an OMG Moment! Ziggler rolled Big E back into the ring and pinned the champion for the 1-2-3.
Your winner, and the NEW United States Champion: Dolph Ziggler
Cole: We have just been told that Roman Reigns, who was supposed to face Adrian Neville for the World Heavyweight Championship, has been ruled out from competition tonight. Corey Graves will replace him in tonight's main event.
JBL: Wow. What a huge shot for Graves, and what bad luck for Reigns!
Match 4: Triple H vs the Undertaker (Hell in a Cell)
Taker comes out in his "Big Evil" attire, getting a HUGE pop from the crowd. He starts with momentum, hitting Triple H with a flurry of punches. Triple H goes for a couple of moves, but Taker reverses every time, up until a couple of suplexes from the COO. Then, HHH hit a big body slam, but the Undertaker was having none of that. Taker grabbed Triple H's neck and hit a chokeslam. Triple H somehow kicked out at 2.
Triple H came back with a Spinebuster on the Deadman, who kicked out at 2. Then, an amazing move happened. Triple H Irish Whipped Undertaker into the ropes, and as he came running back at Triple H, he was tossed into the air. As the Deadman came back down, Triple H kicked him in the gut and hit a Pedigree! As the WWE universe dropped their jaws, Triple H pinned Taker and kept his career alive.
Your winner, the COO of the WWE: Triple H
Triple H, despite being a heel, helped Undertaker up out of respect and the two veterans hugged in the ring. Triple H raised Taker's hands into the air and the crowd cheered Undertaker, who has finally retired from the WWE.
Match 5: CM Punk vs Chris Jericho
Punk comes out without his New SES members for this match, but he seems confident walking to the ring. The two start off in a back-and-forth bout, with Jericho reversing a suplex. Punk knees Jericho a few times, seeming to have the upper hand, but Jericho fights back and shoves Punk to the ground. Then, Jericho hits a Lionsault, bringing the crowd to their feet! Punk wobbles to his feet, right into a Codebreaker! Punk miraculously kicks out at 2.
Jericho locks the Walls of Jericho in, but Punk just crawls to the ropes and breaks out. After that, he decides to roll out of the ring and dismantle the announce table, but Jericho taunts him from inside the ring. Punk, out of rage, runs back right into a second Codebreaker! Punk is busted open! Jericho gets the pinfall!
Your winner: Chris Jericho
After the match, Jericho grabs a fan's glass beer bottle, pours the beer over Punk, and then smashes the bottle on the Straight-Edge Savior's head! This provokes Zayn and Kidd to run out, but Jericho fights them off. He hits a Codebreaker on Kidd and locks the Walls of Jericho in on Zayn. The crowd gives Jericho a mix of cheers and boos as he walks back up the ramp.
Match 6 (WWE Championship): Cesaro (c) vs Bray Wyatt vs Daniel Bryan
All three men begin the match with some highlight moves, which is expected from the three of them. Wyatt goes after Cesaro, looking to get revenge for the Low Blow on Raw, but Cesaro reverses with a Low Blow again! This pisses Bray off, knocking him off his game for a bit. Bryan starts the YES! chant from the corner of the ring, hitting Wyatt with the Flying Knee.
Then, Cesaro dead-lifts Wyatt and hits a Gutwrench Suplex. Bryan gets neutralized by Cesaro, but Bray breaks up Cesaro's pin. Bray pushes Cesaro to the ground, finally hits his signature Uranage on Bryan, and pins the YES! man for the 1-2-3!
Your winner, and the NEW WWE Champion: Bray Wyatt
Wyatt has won back what the Randomizer gave him on the day of the draft!
Match 7 (World Heavyweight Championship): Adrian Neville w/ Drew McIntyre vs Corey Graves
Corey Graves and Adrian Neville began in a back-and-forth battle. Whenever Graves would get the upper hand, McIntyre would just provide a distraction to get Neville back in the fight. Neville went for a Red Arrow, but Graves rolled out of the way. Later, Graves locked in the Lucky 13, but McIntyre pulled the ref out of the ring and then broke up the submission. Then, the lights went out.
Sting's music hits
The crowd goes crazy as Sting sprints to the ring! McIntyre and Sting brawl for a bit, until Sting hits the Scorpion Death Drop on Drew. Graves locks in the Lucky 13 again, and Sting helps the ref back into the ring. Eventually, Neville taps out, and a new champion is crowned.
Your winner, and the NEW World Heavyweight Champion: Corey Graves
Sting raises Graves' arm into the air to celebrate his victory. The crowd was on their feet throughout that whole match, and Sting has finally made his long-awaited debut in the Universe. As McIntyre is lying on the ground outside the ring and Neville is limping to his feet, Graves and Sting celebrate with the belt to end Payback.
