Triple H enters the ring to start the show. He wastes little time in calling Seth Rollins and Kane out to the ring. Rollins shows up, and says he wants to function at the top of his game but can't because of Kane's recent actions. As he keeps talking trash about Kane, Kane eventually shows up, and both he and Rollins argue. Triple H shuts them both up, and thinks that Kane may not be neccessary as Director of Operations anymore. Kane's silence tells HHH he doesn't want that, so HHH decides to make him more invested in the Fatal Four-Way by putting all four of its competitors in matches tonight. Kane is pitted against Roman Reigns, while Rollins is pitted against Randy Orton. Jamie Noble mouths off at Triple H for this, and Triple H responds by making fun of his height as he pits Noble and Joey Mercury against Dean Ambrose in a handicap match...and that match is next. But that's not all. If Seth Rollins fails to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Kane will no longer be the Director of Operations.
Dean Ambrose beats J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) in a handicap match.
Sheamus guests on commentary for the next match.
Dolph Ziggler takes on Sheamus again at Payback.
King Barrett makes light of Neville before his match, saying he'll reacquaint him with gravity at Payback. He then decides to take a page from Sheamus and turn Ziggler from a common show-off into a royal arse kisser only to eat a super kick, starting the match.
King Barrett beats Dolph Ziggler thanks to the distraction from Sheamus. After the match, Sheamus mocks and attacks Ziggler. Ziggler fights back, but falls again to a Brogue Kick.

John Cena shows up. With six days before Payback, Cena holds one more open challenge for the WWE United States Championship. That challenge is answered by Neville.

The Ascension retreat, and Axel and Sandow shake hands, beginning an alliance.
We see more Tough Enough application videos.
Daniel Bryan shows up. He admits that there has been some downtime in the last few weeks where he's seen doctor after doctor. After talking about how he was stripped of the World Heavyweight title, he goes into why he showed up. He had an MRI last week, and he may be out for weeks or months. Therefore, he is relinquishing the WWE Intercontinental Championship, saying it belongs in the ring and not in a physical therapist's chair. He thanks the fans before leaving the championship in the ring.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up and tell the WWE Universe to get rid of the negativity and forget Daniel Bryan. Not surprisingly, it doesn't work.

Randy Orton vs. Seth Rollins ends with the interference of J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble). Kane shows up and grabs a steel chair outside of the ring, but Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns shows up and outnumber Rollins. After all of Rollins' Payback competitors hit their finishers on him, Orton hits an RKO on Reigns and Ambrose hits Dirty Deeds on Orton.
