WWE Payback, June 2013

It’s Sunday, June 16, 2013, and the WWE Universe in the Allstate Arena in Chicago, IL is going nuts waiting for the Second City Saint to make his highly-anticipated return to the ring. Michael Cole is giving the welcome to the viewers at home when he is interrupted by a siren. An ambulance backs into the arena and Ryback’s music hits. Ryback exits the back of the ambulance and makes his way down the ramp to the ring.

Ryback begins cutting a promo, and calls Cena a poison. The crowd responds favorably to the rundown of Cena. Ryback says the WWE Universe can admit it, and tonight, he will control the poison. Cena’s music hits, and Ryback paces the ring as Cena comes sprinting out full speed. Cena leaps into the ring and he and Ryback are exchanging punches. Cena gets the upper hand and attempts the AA, but Ryback slips out and clotheslines Cena from behind. Ryback drags Cena out of the ring and slams him against the ring-post repeatedly. Cena is trying to get back to his feet when Ryback lifts him and hits Shellshocked on the outside of the ring. Ryback pulls a stretcher from under the ring, and straps Cena to it, rolling him to the ambulance. Cena begins to stir, and Ryback puts a cloth over Cena’s face, and Cena is unconscious. Ryback loads Cena into the ambulance and pulls away out of the arena.

The crowd is shocked as Michael Cole fails to find the words to describe what we’ve just witnessed. Just then, Wade Barrett’s music hits. Out next is The Miz. Following The Miz is Curtis Axel, accompanied to the ring by Paul Heyman. The match begins with Axel & Barrett focusing on The Miz, who eventually gets Axel out of the ring. Axel spends a considerable amount of time seeking the guidance of Paul Heyman while Miz & Barrett tear each other apart. Axel wisely jumps in the ring to break up every pin attempt, but slithers away to stay fresh by Heyman. The Miz has had enough of these antics and jumps out of the ring, where Heyman cuts him off. Miz grabs Heyman, and Axel suckerpunches him and throws him over the barricade into the timekeeper’s lap. Axel jumps in the ring where he’s met by Barrett, who mounts some offense. Barrett gets a couple near falls as Miz is still out. As Miz is getting up, Heyman hits him with the Intercontinental Championship. Barrett goes for the Bullhammer elbow but Axel moves aside and Wade stops himself short of killing the referee. Axel hits a low blow on Wade while the referee’s back is turned, and then hits the Perfect Plex for a roll-up victory.
Winner and New Intercontinental Champion: Curtis Axel

After the match, Axel and Heyman are celebrating when Zeb Colter appears on the ramp applauding the third generation superstar on his victory. Paul Heyman grabs a mic and tells Zeb, “I can understand why you wanted to get a closer look at what a real championship manager and champion look like” when Antonio Cesaro’s music hits to a loud pop. Zeb tells Heyman, “Me and Cesaro are coming after that Intercontinental Title, just like the great men before us who traveled from continent to continent claiming them as their new home.”

We go to a video package for The Wyatt Family.

We return and Paul Heyman is still in the ring. He has a microphone and tells the crowd “The match between my client and Chris Jericho was scheduled to take place next, but Chicago does not deserve to be robbed of their hero having to perform second on the card.” The crowd cheers Heyman and begins chanting “CM Punk!”

We are shown highlights from earlier in the night at the pre-show where Sheamus defeated Damian Sandow after Cody Rhodes attempted to interfere but tripped up Sandow by accident resulting in a Brogue Kick.

Kane makes his way to the ring. Out next is Ambrose. The bell rings and Kane wastes no time going after Dean, who tries to compose himself on the outside, but Kane cuts him off. Kane is infuriated and brings Ambrose back into the ring. Kane hits a series of moves looking like he is going to put the match away early, but Ambrose kicks Kane in the knee out of nowhere, and then works his leg on the ring-post. Ambrose drags Kane from the ring and drops elbows across his knee. Ambrose jumps back in the ring and the ref starts a 10-count. Kane makes it back in at 9 and Ambrose immediately goes back to the knee. Kane makes his comeback and builds some momentum. Kane goes to the top rope, but can’t get his footing. Ambrose tries to fight back, but Kane fights him off and finally gets up. Kane jumps but Ambrose sidesteps him and Kane’s knee gives on the landing. Ambrose pulls Kane up and hits his inverted DDT for the victory.

After the match, The Shield swarm and they surround Kane who crawls back into the corner. GONG! The lights go out, the crowd goes insane. With another GONG! The lights return and there is a thick smoke in the arena as The Shield stand alone in the ring with no sign of Kane anywhere.
Cole looks perplexed and says this night is just getting weirder and weirder, and then recaps what happened earlier between Cena & Ryback. Cole says the authorities have been contacted and as soon as an update can be given, the WWE Universe will know.

Out next is Albertooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo DEL Rioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Followed by Dolph Ziggler, accompanied to the ring by Big E. Langston and AJ Lee. Ziggler takes his time avoiding Del Rio to start the match.

When Dolph gets in, Del Rio charges into the corner. The referee has to break up the five count and Dolph with a thumb to the eye of Del Rio.

Monday Night RAW, June 17, 2013

The show kicks off with a video package from Payback. The events with Team Hell No disappearing are showed. We see the dissension between Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Langston. We see the events between Punk/Lesnar. Finally, we get a recap of Ryback & Cena.

Michael Cole welcomes us to Raw from the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He says last night was a crazy night and that there will be an update on the condition of John Cena later in the night. Cole starts to mention Paul Heyman when he is interrupted by Chris Jericho.

Jericho makes his way to the ring and grabs a mic. He says he’s a little beat up from last night, but that he’s ready to compete. But first, he has a message he would like to deliver to CM Punk. Jericho says Punk may have intervened in the match, but that doesn’t change the fact that Jericho won, and it certainly doesn’t change the fact that he wants Punk in a Best in the World match at SummerSlam. Paul Heyman interrupts. Paul comes out and says that if Jericho weren’t aided by the interruption that Punk caused, Brock Lesnar would have snapped Jericho’s arm and he wouldn’t be here tonight. Jericho agrees, to disagree, and says he’s willing to prove it tonight. Heyman says Lesnar is at home recuperating like a real athlete should do, but that Jericho can face a Paul Heyman guy tonight. Jericho says bring on Punk and Heyman declines. Jericho says, “fine, I’ll take on Curtis Axel for the Intercontinental Championship” and Heyman laughs. Heyman says he’ll see Jericho in a little while.

We go to the back and John Cena is in the building, and he doesn’t look well. Vickie is trying to talk John out of doing anything, but Cena is walking with conviction towards the ring.

As we come back from commercial, Cena’s music hits and out he comes. There are no poses. He doesn’t stop to thank the fans for coming out. He grabs a microphone and gets in the ring. “Normally, I’m all about putting on a show for you all. I’m all about having a great time. Tonight, that isn’t the case. They didn’t want me coming here tonight. They wanted me to rest up. They wanted to give you all an update on me. That’s not how I do business. You all deserve to hear it from me and nobody else. Last night, Ryback and I fought to a draw for the second time in consecutive months. Ryback took me to the limit, and we both failed to achieve victory. Last night, Ryback hurt me. I’ve got swelling around my spine and my nerves are all messed up. Doc says I can’t wrestle tonight and it could very well be a few months before I lace up my sneakers. Well, I’m here to tell Doc respectfully that he can kiss my ass. I’m not a champion because I settle for keeping this title on my shoulders for a draw. As far as I’m concerned, Ryback is as much the champion right now as I am, because I couldn’t put him away. So tonight, I want Ryback, and I want to settle this.”

“EXCUSE MEEEEEEEE! I SAID EXCUSE ME! John, you are not cleared to compete toni…”

“Vickie, SHUTUP!” Cena pulls a pair of handcuffs out of his pocket and cuffs himself to the top rope. “I’m not leaving this ring until someone guarantees me my match with Ryback tonight.”

Brad Maddox comes out and says, “You’ve got your match. WWE Championship on the line. Oh, and John, if you want to compete, you have to sign a waiver assuming all responsibility for whatever happens to you.” Cena agrees and we go to commercial with Vickie looking confused at Maddox.

Back from the break and Big Show’s music hits. It is the first time we have seen Show since Extreme Rules. His opponent tonight is Wade Barrett. Wade starts the match off throwing punches to Show. They beat the Hell out of each other. Show goes for the chokeslam and Wade rakes his eyes. The referee is warning Barrett, who is prepping his elbow pad. He runs at Show for the Bullhammer but Show catches him and hits the chokeslam. Wade kicks out at two. Show is setting up for the KO punch but Wade rolls over into the corner between the ropes so the referee has to hold Show back. Show threatens to hit the referee when out of nowhere Barrett lands the Bullhammer and Show falls back against the ropes. When he bounces back, Barrett catches him for Winds of Change and picks up the win via pinfall.
Winner: Wade Barrett

In the back, Ryback is entering the building and has a black eye. Striker walks up to tell Ryback he has a match with Cena tonight for the title if Cena signs the waivers.

He starts to get up panicked when the lights cut out again and we hear slams in the ring. The lights cut on and The Wyatt Family each hits their finisher on Sin Cara before dragging him up the ramp behind them.

After commercial, John Cena is signing his waiver when CM Punk walks in. Cena is uneasy, but Punk tells him to calm down. Punk tells Cena, “You and I, we may never see the world the same way. But you know that I respect you inside that ring and outside of it as well. You’re making a stupid decision. Rest up and face Ryback later.” Cena says, “You’ve been in the ring with me. You know that’s not what I’m about. You spent 434 days as the WWE Champion… so you know why I have to do this.” Punk shrugs and tells Cena to take care of himself. Cena signs the waiver and hands it over to Brad Maddox.

In the ring, 3MB is waiting for their opponent. Mark Henry’s music hits and he makes his entrance. Henry is scheduled to face Jinder Mahal, but grabs a mic and says he wants to fight all three. 3MB jumps at the opportunity and they have Henry backed into the corner.

Nice name.” Punk winks at the camera, obviously breaking the fourth wall again. Axel says, “It’s an honor to be mentioned in the same regard as CM Punk and Brock Lesnar” and Punk cuts him off.

Great read so far. I like the twist with the Punk/Jericho match to first of all turn it into Lesnar/Jericho, then have Punk return and turn on Lesnar to set up a match with him. Nice call on RVD returning the night after as well and I wouldn't mind actually seeing RVD/Jericho once RVD actually returns to WWE. I like how you used the Wyatt Family as well, big impact right away first to a midcarder but then getting involved in the mainevent. Looking forward to the next show.
