Re: Putting the "F" back in WWE.
The show starts off with all three members of the Triumvirate making their way to the stage. They talk about this week being the final week before Payback. SCSA taked the mic and says that the three of them discussed the matches this week and they came up with some good ones. The three members make their way to the ring as they speak. SCSA calls Triple H out and he comes out. He tells Triple H that while he has to worry about his former Evolution members on Sunday he has a bigger fish to fry tonight, because tonight he will face the man, no he will face the beast that he handed a title shot to on Sunday for doing his dirty work, Brock Lesnar. The crowd goes wild at this announcement and Triple H is pissed off. Triple H begins making his way to the ring when Brock Lesnar and Heyman come out. SCSA leaves the ring and backs Triple H up the ramp. Brock and Triple H stare each other down and move towards each other. SCSA moves up the ring and gets in between the two men. SCSA tells them that they can get their hands on each other later but not now. HBK grabs a mic and says that isn’t the only big match tonight. He said that tonight Cesaro will face Dolph Ziggler in a non-title match and Seth Rollins will take on World Champion, Daniel Bryan in a non-title match. Edge also announces Goldust versus Jack Swagger for tonight. Everyone except for Edge have made their way out of the arena to the back when Zack Ryder comes out to confront Edge. Ryder says that he and Edge go way back and he wants an opportunity tonight to prove that he should be Cruiserweight Champion. He wants a chance. Actually he demanded an opportunity tonight. Edge admits that they do go way back and he like Ryder’s new attitude and he will give him a chance tonight, but it won’t be against Adrian Neville. Ryder says it doesn’t matter who it is against, he will face any Cruiserweight in the back.
All of a sudden music hits and out walks the return of Low Ki (formerly known as Kaval and the winner of NXT Season 2). Ryder doesn’t seem to be excited about this. You can see Edge telling Ryder to “have fun” as he leaves the ring. Low Ki rushes the ring and Ryder goes after him but Ki gets away and takes it to Ryder with several kicks and ends the match fairly quickly kitting the Ki Krusher on Ryder for the win in his debut in WWF. This was a big win for Ki in his return/debut.
The next match featured a singles match from a new rivalry that started recently between Force Velocity and The A-Listers as Big E took on The Miz. Big E used his strength advantage to get the early advantage on Miz taking him to the mat. Miz got to his feet and used an eye poke to gain the advantage then hit a suplex and delivered several punches. Big E got to his feet and took Miz down with a running shoulder then delivered several punches of his own. Miz got up and tried to kick Big E but Big E pushed him away and kicked him with his own bog boot to the stomach. Big E hit a huge body slam on Miz then hit a spear on him followed by some boots to a downed Miz. Miz got up and used a distraction from Morrison to get an advantage. Miz put Big E over the middle rope then jumped over the top rope and pulled Big E’s head down. Miz worked over Big E’s legs on the ground. Big E caught Miz’s boot while on their feet and took Big E down. Big E then picked Miz up and hit a press slam on him. Miz got up and Big E hit him with another running bodyblock. Morrison distracted Big E again but this time Kofi came around the ring to take care of Morrison. The distraction was enough for The Miz to recover enough and hit the Skull Crushing Finale on Big E to pick up the win. Miz rolled out of the ring and him and Morrison celebrated.
The next match of the night featured IC Champion Cesaro facing off with Dolph Ziggler. Conspicuous by his absence was Paul Heyman. This match was a great match against two great superstars in WWF. The two men locked up and Dolph took Cesaro down from behind and then locked in a headlock. Dolph took Cesaro down again with a headlock. Dolph hit a jumping jawbreaker on Cesaro. Cesaro knocked away a punch attempt and took Cesaro down with a capture suplex. Cesaro continued to beat Ziggler down, but Ziggler got up and hit a dropkick on Cesaro. Cesaro was able to get to his feet but he was stunned. Cesaro whipped Ziggler to the ropes but as he ducked his head Ziggler hit a Fame-***-Er for a 2 count. Ziggler stayed in control and hit a Zig Zag but Cesaro was able to kick out at 2. Cesaro regained control taking Ziggler down and then delivering a double boot stomp to the stomach. Cesaro picked Dolph up and hit a European uppercut and another jumping stomp. Ziggler was able to get up and after an exchange of moves Ziggler locked in a sleeper hold to take Cesaro down. Ziggler picked Cesaro back up and hit another Zig Zag on him to pick up the win in the non-title match.
The next match of the night featured Goldust taking on Jack Swagger. Goldust and Swagger locked up and Goldust got the early advantage. Swagger got up and took Goldust down with a belly to back tackdown. The two men exchanged several moves when Cody Rhodes came out to ringside to distract Goldust. Cody jumped on the ring apron but Goldust ducked out of the way when Swagger rushed him which made Swagger run into Cody. Goldust used this to roll Swagger up for the win. After the match, Goldust left the ring and battled it out with Cody Rhodes up the ramp.
Backstage the Triumvirate announced that the final match for Payback will be Goldust facing Cody Rhodes.
The co main event featured World Champion, Daniel Bryan facing off with Evolution member Seth Rollins. Bryan took it too Rollins early in this match but Rollins reversed it. The two men exchanged moves for a little bit and the action moved outside the ring. Back in the ring Rollins got control of Bryan but Dean Ambrose’s music hit and Rollins got distracted. Ambrose never showed up and when Rollins turned around Bryan hit a running knee to Rollins and got the pin. After the match Brock Lesnar came to the ring to attack Bryan but Bryan got out of the ring before he could be attacked.
In the main event, #1 contender Brock Lesnar faced off with Triple H. Lesnar was already in the ring when Triple H came to the ring. Triple H raked Brocks eyes as the match started and was able to get in control whipping him into the corner after the surprise attack. Brock got his wits about him and took Triple H down. Brock delivered a series of vicious clotheslines to Triple H but Triple H fought back with some punches and then actual sent Brock out of the ring. Outside the ring the two men battled and Brock picked Triple H up and tossed him over his head then picked him up and hit an STO on him. He picked him up again and both men returned to the ring.

During this time Rollins came out to help Triple H in his battle which brought Dean Ambrose out. Heyman was waving to the back which brought out the rest of his men, Cesaro and the K.E.S. and along with Brock they attacked Daniel Bryan, but then Ziggler and The Usos came out to the ring to even the odds.
