Stephanie McMahon and Triple H show up. Stephanie says tonight is all about choices, and wants Daniel Bryan to make the right choice: personally surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Triple H agrees, saying Daniel is a flash in the pan. He also says The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) will fall victim to Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista) at Payback...after a contract signing tonight, of course. Stephanie calls out Brad Maddox. He shows up. Triple H chastises Brad for allowing The Shield to interfere in Seth Rollins vs. Batista last week, and Brad said The Shield forced him to allow them in. Stephanie sends out Kane, who demolishes Maddox with a choke slam and a Tombstone Piledriver. Stephanie obviously enjoys it, and it's pretty easy to tell she's controlling him. Stephanie McMahon then fires Brad Maddox from his position as Raw General Manager.
Bad News Barrett tells us the cruel summer will expose how fat we've gotten since last year, and that he'll retain the Intercontinental title at Payback. He guests on commentary for the next match.
Cesaro beats Rob Van Dam after the distraction by Bad News Barrett. Sheamus rushes in and Brogue Kicks Cesaro.
Eva Marie beats Summer Rae after the distraction by Layla and Fandango.
The Brotherhood (Cody Rhodes and Goldust) meets Randy Orton and Batista. They want to tell Triple H that they're issuing an open challenge to any tag team on the roster, but when Orton and Batista tell them Triple H isn't in the office, this leads to a bit of arguing between the two pairs. Triple H shows up and makes a match between the two teams.
El Torito beats Drew McIntyre. After the match, Hornswoggle rips El Torito's tail off!
El Torito's tail has to be put back on in the trainer's room.
The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan) show up. At Payback, Bray Wyatt says he'll be last man standing...then he calls out Jerry Lawler. When Lawler refuses, Harper and Rowan surround the commentary table, and Lawler has no choice when they lay out JBL for trying to confront Wyatt. Wyatt confronts Lawler for being an ally of John Cena, but before the Wyatts can harm him, Cena runs in only to be outnumbered, and Wyatt makes Cena watch him put Jerry Lawler in the Sister Abigail. Before that can happen, though, The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) show up and even the odds, saving both Cena and Lawler and forcing the Wyatts to retreat. Cena confronts Bray Wyatt about his change in behavior since they first tied up before WrestleMania 30, then promises that he'll come out on top at Payback.
Zack Ryder is about to celebrate Memorial Day in the ring, but Lana ruins it.
Rusev quickly beats Zack Ryder with the Accolade...but Big E runs in and sends Rusev running for the hills!

Tomorrow night on Main Event: The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) take on The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan)!
Stephanie McMahon shows up and calls out Daniel Bryan. D-Bry shows up. Stephanie wants him to surrender the WWE World title. D-Bry says his injury is worse than previously thought, and agrees with personally surrendering the title...but calls her out on being able to control Kane when he took out Brad Maddox earlier this evening. Now that he knows she's lying through her teeth about not being able to control Kane in the past few weeks, he refuses to do so, as this is exactly what Stephanie wants so she can stick it to the fans yet again. Stephanie mentions that Brie Bella put her hands on her two weeks ago while Daniel Bryan was being put in the ambulance, however, and gives him until Payback to make his choice: either personally surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship or Brie Bella is fired!
Emma beats Alicia Fox...then Fox beats Emma up. Then the craziness begins, as Alicia Fox goes nuts one more time, giving a guy a wedgie.
John Cena salutes the troops.
The kickoff for Payback is El Torito vs Hornswoggle in a Mask vs. Hair match!

This Friday on SmackDown: US champ Sheamus vs IC champ Bad News Barrett! It's Champion vs. Champion!
Sheamus beats Alberto Del Rio. After the match, Heyman speaks on the mic so he can distract Sheamus, leaving Cesaro to viciously blindside The Great White.
The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) throw away the chairs and table before Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista) show up for the contract signing for their match. Triple H tells The Shield they're signing their death warning, but they don't care. They sign anyway, as does Evolution. The inevitable brawl happens. Evolution comes out on top this time, with Roman Reigns being powerbombed through a table by all three members of Evolution.
