 April 28 2016 Busy Thursday Night?
Thanks to Ambrose and Reigns playing antics, Big E would lose to Kalisto in his qualifier for The Wrestling Classic.
The Dudley Boyz were in a match against The Vaudevillians but The Usos decided they weren't finished with the Dudleyz, because after a 3-D delivered them the win and they were about to pour salt in the wound via a table, The Usos came to the rescue.
"The Black Sheep" Braun Strowman had an opportunity to land a member of The Wyatt Family in Saturday's event, but failed as The Miz used his experience to earn himself a narrow count-out victory.
Naomi and Tamina challenged Charlotte and Paige to a tag match, but Sasha Banks coming for an interference helped Charlotte pick up a cheap win. Afterwards, Sasha reminded Charlotte that she was coming for her title.
Dolph Ziggler, still ticked after Monday, said he can win any submission match and wants to make his match tonight against Curtis Axel one. Axel would end up tapping to the Figure 4.
With the main event being a qualifier between Rusev and Ryback, "The Big Guy" succumbed to The Accolade and Rusev is headed to Saturday's Wrestling Classic. |

 May 2 2016 WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins started Raw in a lounge chair in the center of the ring, and he chose to take Randy Orton's matches last week and point out Orton's rust in his route to winning this year's Wrestling Classic. Afterwards, Seth boasted about being in his prime, so that he can go to Payback and win with ease against a "rusty past-primer", when Randy Orton responded and came out as Rollins backed up all the way to the ropes. Randy Orton told Rollins he forgot to mention that last week, he beat three former world champions, and to soon make that a fourth. Orton stalked Rollins and got closer until Stephanie McMahon walked out, and told Randy he asked for it, because Seth can get out of the ring and Orton can face that fourth he was talking about right now. The music of Christian would hit, to the surprise of many, as Christian had a rivalry with Orton to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
Randy Orton def. Christian
This match sprung on Orton would last a while, as Christian continued to hang with The Viper, that is before losing to the RKO.
Alberto Del Rio is interviewed by Renee Young, who mentions Del Rio requested this time, in which he faces the fact he failed to win The Wrestling Classic this past Saturday, but says he still wants a championship. He came and won the United States Championship, but now he wants the Intercontinental Championship. Del Rio says he beat Sami Zayn this weekend and he NEEDS to become the Intercontinental Champion.
Kaval w/Emma def. Daniel Bryan
As both men laid exhausted, Emma slipped Kaval something and then "Brie Mooode" hit and the wife of Daniel Bryan rushed down the ramp after a long hiatus, and attacked Emma!! Unfortunately, this distracted the referee for Kaval to knock Bryan out with the weapon and pin D-Bry.
Randy Orton was wiping his sweat from his towel backstage when Seth Rollins came up to him laughing, sarcastically congratulating him on his win earlier tonight, but that's not what he expected to do tonight, right? Seth Rollins said he has the privilege to deliver the news that Randy Orton is going one-on-one with Jeff Hardy tonight. Rollins laughs as Orton shakes his head, but called Rollins out for not stepping up to the plate, and Seth curiously asked what Randy had in mind. Orton told Rollins he'd like a tag team match this Thursday, each pick a partner, and see what happens.
Dolph Ziggler def. Sin Cara w/Kalisto in a Submission Match
Ziggler, preparing for his Submission Match with Cena at Payback, would make Sin Cara tap to a Sharpshooter.
The New Day would come out talking up on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose before getting in the ring and Xavier Woods coming to the realization they want another loss competing for their WWE Tag Team Championships, then so be it. Xavier Woods told them that Big E is here, ready to get some revenge for last Thursday, and if any of them have the Booty to face Big E and somehow wins, they'll be more than happy to put their championships on the line at Payback.
Dean Ambrose w/Roman Reigns def. Big E w/Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods
Roman Reigns would be the equalizer to Kingston and Woods on the outside while Ambrose topped Big E with a rebound lariat followed by a diving elbow from the top rope on a vertical Big E.
Bray Wyatt came out to address Jeff Hardy and during the promo of a maniacal Bray Wyatt, he mentioned that at Payback, Jeff will have a chance at his if he wants it as badly as he says. Wyatt pushed the fact he controls the fate of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and ends with his tune "I've got the world title in my hands", which is a spin of what he used to sing.
Tamina Snuka def. Naomi and Sasha Banks in a Triple Threat Match
For a shot at Charlotte's Divas Championship at Payback, Team BAD's Naomi and Tamina would zone in on Sasha Banks and Naomi felt she convinced Tamina to help her win, but at the last second, Tamina would pull Naomi off a pin attempt, throw her on the outside and land a Superfly Splash on Sasha to win.
Kevin Owens spots Stephanie McMahon backstage and interrogates her, wanting to know why he hadn't been in The Wrestling Classic, and Stephanie finally turned the tables and asked where Owens has been, because she hadn't seen him since WrestleMania. Owens blamed Stephanie when Stephanie steps out of the way when Neville attacks Owens and after Neville was done and walked off, Stephanie laughed, shook her head at Owens, and walked away.
The Usos def. The Ascension
After The Usos ended both Ascension members with a double Uso Splash, The Dudley Boyz stormed the ring and tried putting Jey Uso through a table, but Jimmy saved his brother.
Announced for this Thursday's SmackDown is confirming the tag match between Randy Orton and Seth Rollins as they try to find tag partners, while also announcing Kevin Owens getting a non-title opportunity against the United States Champion Neville.
Randy Orton def. Jeff Hardy
After an intense battle, Jeff Hardy actually looked to be hanging in there when Bray Wyatt's intro showed and the arena went black until the fireflies began to fill the arena, and while they got a spotlight on Hardy in the ring while Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan came down, Bray would blow out the lantern as Hardy got turned around into an RKO as Orton fled.
Bray Wyatt and his brothers zoned in and attacked Hardy to a pulp until Randy Orton decided to come back with a steel chair and help out Hardy, before helping The Charismatic Enigma up and shaking his hand afterwards as Raw went off the air.PAYBACKWWE World Heavyweight Championship MatchSeth Rollins(c) vs. Randy Orton Submission MatchDolph Ziggler vs. John Cena Bray Wyatt vs. Jeff Hardy WWE Tag Team Championships MatchThe New Day(c) vs. Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns WWE Divas Championship MatchCharlotte(c) vs. Tamina Snuka |

May 5 2016 Busy Thursday Night?
Kevin Owens had his match against the United States Champion Neville, winning a non-title bout off the Popup Powerbomb.
The Usos would declare war on The Dudley Boyz, and both teams mutually agreed to battle one more time at Payback, this time in a TLC Match.
Dolph Ziggler had come out prepared to wrestle Titus O'Neil for a submission match, in his quest to prove himself worth of winning these type of matches, when John Cena came out and said he could do it better, so Cena took Dolph's place and ended up winning that one rather quickly with an STF, as Ziggler watched on irate.
After Sami Zayn's victory over Stardust, he got on the mic and accepted Alberto Del Rio's challenge and said he's willing to defend his Intercontinental Championship at Payback, claiming he wants to be a fighting champion.
Tamina Snuka was at ringside being a guest commentator for Charlotte's match against Becky Lynch, which Tamina was attacked by Naomi during. Charlotte would be distracted by the fight going on outside and lose to Becky Lynch off the rollup.
At the beginning of the show, Randy Orton announced Jeff Hardy as his tag team partner tonight, but Seth Rollins would keep it a secret until moments before when The Wyatt Family's music hit and Bray came out backed by Harper and Rowan. Bray would get in as if he was wrestling, but backed out before the bell sounded and got Luke Harper in there instead. Luke Harper ended up getting hit with an RKO and Jeff Hardy would climb for the Swanton Bomb, as Orton and Hardy sent a message to Rollins and Wyatt, their respective opponents for Payback. |

May 9 2016 The number one contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship comes out to the ring and Randy Orton proceeds to call out Seth Rollins for being a coward, dating those claims all the way back to The Shield. Orton says the situation is inflamed by being behind The Authority, in which Seth Rollins comes out to defend himself, also blaming the hypocritical Orton for doing the same a few years back. Randy tried to convince Seth he has real talent and doesn't need The Authority, when Stephanie McMahon came out livid and placed Randy Orton in the main event tonight against his biggest career rival, John Cena! Seth would laugh until Stephanie said she wanted Seth Rollins to prove he can do it on his own, because up next, he'll wrestle the man who defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania... Finn Balor emerged from the curtain, after not being seen since Extreme Rules where he fought Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing. The show fades to commercial while Orton evacuates, to see the first ever Finn Balor versus Seth Rollins bout next!
Finn Balor def. Seth Rollins in a non-title match
After a terrific match, Finn Balor would capitalize on Seth's mistake of taking too long to go up top, as he pulled Seth Rollins down and Seth's head would bounce off the turnbuckle while Balor would go up top and hit a Coup de Grace and beat the world champion in his night back.
After the commercial, Seth Rollins is walking in the back hunched over when Stephanie comes fussing at him, creating a huge scene backstage, when Seth just walks away from her.
Kalisto def. Kevin Owens
Thanks to Neville on the outside taking Kevin's attention away, Kalisto could grab Owens with a Salida del Sol and win the match, as Neville gets the best of his #1 contender this Sunday.
Tamina Snuka is in the back getting interviewed about her golden opportunity this Sunday to win the Divas Championship, and bringing up Charlotte's father Ric Flair, Tamina mentions she's the daughter of Jimmy Snuka and it's her time to win the Divas Championship and give her father a reason to be proud. 0aige and Charlotte then attack Tamina from behind and surprisingly, Naomi comes to make the save rushing Charlotte and Paige off before checking on Tamina, who really cost her a chance at Charlotte's title and was the one to previously attack Tamina on SmackDown.
Kaval w/Emma def. R-Truth
After Kaval ended a match with Warrior's Way, Emma took the mic and talked about Kaval's one-on-one match with Daniel Bryan this Sunday, when Brie Bella interrupted and said she'd be at Payback!
John Cena cuts a promo in the ring about him not tapping out this Sunday at Payback, getting his Cenation pumped, when Dolph Ziggler comes out and gives his address. Ziggler said he'll put John Cena through everything possible and make sure he breaks Cena's spirit.
Big Show def. Curtis Axel
Axel didn't shy away from a fight, but he lost to a chokeslam, followed by the WMD.
Big Show's celebration in the ring is cut short with the Wyatt's intro as Bray Wyatt hypes this Sunday's match versus Jeff Hardy, saying his final piece towards Jeff Hardy.
Charlotte and Paige def. Naomi and Tamina Snuka
After events earlier, this tag team match was made and Naomi would turn on Tamina, shouting she's on her own, while Charlotte would hit Natural Selection for good measures and pin her #1 contender.
The Usos cut a promo backstage with the use of tables, ladders, and chairs for their match against The Dudley Boyz at Payback. Stephanie McMahon would stop by, apologizing for interrupting and they can film later. Stephanie says she must give them something to reach for, so in favor of next month's Money in the Bank PPV, a contract will be suspended above the ring for a future title shot at the WWE Tag Team Championships. The Usos nodded, loving the idea.
Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns def. The Dudley Boyz
Before their big matches this Sunday, the two teams squared off, with Reigns saving his brother Ambrose from a 3-D as Roman speared Bubba Ray and D-Von got Dirty Deeds, as Ambrose and Reigns are fired up for Payback.
Tamina Snuka is upset backstage over what Naomi did, this being after all she's done for Naomi, but claims it doesn't matter because she'll win the Divas Championship this Sunday, proving she was better than Naomi, and maybe afterwards, Naomi will come to her senses and come down and congratulate her.
Randy Orton def. John Cena
After another classic between these two, it would be tainted as Ziggler came out for the mind games as Cena had lifted Orton up for the AA, but Orton slid off with the distraction, and hit an RKO on Cena to emerge victorious.
Before Randy Orton could let his emotions out in a celebration, Dolph had stormed the ring to hammer away at Cena. Orton wouldn't have this as he picked Dolph up, Ziggler acting rather confused, before a second RKO would be delivered. Randy Orton stood as the lone man standing as Raw goes off the air with The Viper declaring himself the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion.PAYBACKWWE World Heavyweight Championship MatchSeth Rollins(c) vs. Randy Orton Submission MatchDolph Ziggler vs. John Cena Bray Wyatt vs. Jeff Hardy United States Championship MatchNeville(c) vs. Kevin Owens Intercontinental Championship MatchSami Zayn(c) vs. Alberto Del Rio WWE Tag Team Championships MatchThe New Day(c) vs. Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns TLC MatchThe Dudley Boyz vs. The Usos Daniel Bryan w/Brie Bella vs. Kaval w/Emma WWE Divas Championship MatchCharlotte(c) vs. Tamina Snuka |

May 12 2016 Busy Thursday Night?
The Dudley Boyz responded pleased to having their TLC Match mean something against The Usos, before facing The Vaudevillians. Aiden and Simon would win by disqualification, and then get put through tables.
Jeff Hardy would make his final comments before his battle against Bray Wyatt in 72 hours, afterwards the lights go out and when they come back on, he's attacked by Luke Harper and Erick Rowan as Bray Wyatt sits in a rocking chair at ringside looking on. Hardy's able to use his surroundings and have Harper tumble to the outside and hit the Twist of Fate on Rowan before pulling his shirt off and throwing it at Bray, while tensions run high for Payback.
The United States Championship Match, where Neville defends his title against Kevin Owens, has been announced as the Kickoff match for this Sunday's event.
Charlotte cuts a promo with Paige there as well, talking about Becky Lynch complaining about her "friends" betraying her, and that Tamina is now complaining that her "friends" have betrayed her, and Charlotte and Paige trash the whole divas division, saying this is what they've banded together to stop. They say they're not even friends and they despise each other, but it's for the cause that people before them have tried to build. Charlotte tells the world she'll have no problem beating Tamina and proving not only is she better than Tamina, and not only are the Flairs better than the Snukas, but that Jimmy Snuka will always be ashamed of his daughter. This would set Tamina off as she came out and chased Charlotte and Paige off, and you can tell she was at her boiling point.
An 8-man tag team main event would commence as Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Neville, and Sami Zayn would team up to go against Big E, Kofi Kingston, Kevin Owens, and Alberto Del Rio. The fan favorites would win this match, after Big E would eat a Helluva Kick, Dirty Deeds, and then the Red Arrow to lose it for their team. |

Neville(c) def. Kevin Owens in the Pre-Show to retain the United States ChampionshipA great kickoff match, yet Owens try a pumphandle side slam off the top rope, Neville would block it and send Owens down and quickly hit a Red Arrow for the win! May 15 2016 Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns def. The New Day(c) w/Kofi Kingston to win the WWE Tag Team ChampionshipsWith Kofi Kingston calling injury after taking a bad spot on SmackDown, Xavier Woods replaced him under the Freebird rule and was the one pinned after a Superman Punch by Reigns and downed in the Dirty Deeds as Ambrose and Reigns win their first titles together.Sami Zayn is interviewed backstage and the Intercontinental Champion is asked why he would agree to defend his title against Alberto Del Rio, in which Zayn responded that Del Rio had earned it, and Del Rio beat him at The Wrestling Classic so the way he sees it, it's fair to give him this opportunity. Zayn assured his fanbase he wouldn't lose again. Daniel Bryan w/Brie Bella def. Kaval w/EmmaAs Emma tried to get involved, Brie stopped her, allowing her husband to win with a B-Plus on Kaval.The Payback panel of Renee Young, Booker T, Corey Graves, and Jerry Lawler are all there talking about Payback so far, shocked to see The New Day lose their titles, but also reflecting on Neville's retention of the United States Championship on the Kickoff show. They are interrupted by Stephanie's music though, as Renee sent it off to the ramp, confused by why Stephanie would be coming out. Stephanie McMahon would make her way to the ring, head low, as she got in the ring and broke the unfortunate news that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins had a match on Raw this past Monday and suffered a concussion in the closing moments of his match with Finn Balor. Stephanie told everyone that Seth has held the title since WrestleMania of last year and his reign is too historic to pull out from underneath him, so he won't be stripped, but he'll be unable to defend his title tonight against Randy Orton. Stephanie received boos from disappointed fans, but Randy Orton's music hit and he was not in the best mood. Randy would jump down Stephanie's throat saying this isn't fair and to do the right thing and strip Rollins of the title. Stephanie fought back and told her not to speak to her like that as she can fire him in the blink of an eye. Orton said he came here to fight tonight and if not, she'll regret it. Stephanie bargained on Orton wanting a fight tonight, while Stephanie told Orton to come back down to the ring later tonight and she'll find him a worthy opponent before slamming the mic down and exiting the ring as Orton can't believe he's not getting his title opportunity tonight. Tamina Snuka is backstage when Sasha Banks walks past her and looks back to say "You don't need Naomi" before glaring at each other and Banks would walk off as Tamina loosens up for her title opportunity tonight. Jeff Hardy def. Bray Wyatt w/Erick Rowan and Luke HarperHardy would get "payback" for Wyatt costing him the world title last month, putting the Eater of Worlds away with his Twist of Fate.John Cena is interviewed before his match against Dolph Ziggler later tonight and he vows to make Dolph Ziggler tap or to die trying. Cena says hopefully he can submit that attitude out of Ziggler tonight, because an Attitude Adjustment just simply won't be enough tonight. Alberto Del Rio def. Sami Zayn(c) to win the Intercontinental ChampionshipAfter a war between these two, Zayn would make one mistake as he tried a belly-to-belly off the top rope and get caught in the tree of woe, as Del Rio would stomp Zayn down, pulled Zayn away from the ropes, and captured his first Intercontinental Championship.Eden tried to get a word with Randy Orton, but Orton was still going insane about the injustice tonight laid out by Stephanie McMahon. Orton said Stephanie better put someone she's had problems with in her past, because if he won't walk out WWE World Heavyweight Champion tonight from New Jersey, then someone else just simply won't be walking out of New Jersey tonight. Charlotte(c) def. Tamina Snuka to retain the Divas ChampionshipWith Paige sent to the back early on in the match, Naomi would come out and cost Tamina the match as Tamina nearly beat Charlotte, Naomi came out and pulled the referee out of the ring before Tamina would lay Naomi out, but Charlotte would capitalize, eventually getting the Figure 8 in and Tamina tapped out with a new referee, who had shooed Naomi off.The panel comes back as they reflect on Alberto Del Rio's monumental victory for the Intercontinental Championship, while Corey Graves mentioned both The New Day and Sami Zayn began their respective reigns at the Royal Rumble, but they both came to a close tonight. The panel of four questions who Stephanie McMahon will have for Randy Orton, but they all fear who steps in the ring with The Viper tonight. John Cena def. Dolph Ziggler in a Submission MatchThese two had hearts bigger than themselves tonight, not refusing to give up, that is until Ziggler had no choice after Cena would have the STF in and had to pull Ziggler away from the ropes three times in that one hold! Ziggler then eventually tapped, as Cena celebrated a hard-fought victory.The new WWE Tag Team Champions are interviewed while they're partying in their locker room, as Eden asked Reigns and Ambrose what is next. Dean told Eden they don't care because they can beat anybody, as Reigns looked at it realistically, saying The New Day will obviously want their championships back, and The Usos and Dudley Boyz have a match tonight, so we'll have to wait and see. The Usos def. The Dudley Boyz in a TLC MatchJimmy and Jey would overcome the odds as the four battled on the top of two ladders, before The Usos would push Bubba Ray off, and then Jimmy and D-Von were on one ladder as Jimmy sacrificed himself, hitting a bulldog off the ladder, as Jey Uso grabbed the contract for a tag title match in the future.Time would come as Randy Orton headed out and he waited in the ring until Christian's music hit and Captain Charisma made his way to the ring, but Orton wouldn't even wait for the bell. Christian def. Randy Orton via disqualificationOrton would beat Christian greatly and eventually bring weapons into it, including the timekeeper bell, the steel steps, and even RKO Christian onto the English announce table, with the Spanish one already destroyed. Randy Orton would pick up and RKO Christian again on the announce table, leaving his anger out there as Payback came to a close with a simmering Viper.
