WWE Payback 2020

 


Pre-show has a nothing match between the Riott Squad and the IIconics with the heels bullying Ruby and making Liv think Ruby hit her, but Liv tags in and comes to her senses and beats up the heels before a double-team Riott Kick ends it. Randy-Drew and Randy-Keith video packages air to get over Lee's agility.


Lashley is out to face Crews for the US Title. MVP cuts a promo on Crews and he says that Crews got lucky last week and now, he's got Lashley. MVP looks so much older with the shaved goatee. Tie-up and takedown for Lashley. Lashley hits an elevated flatliner over the top rope. Nice! Lashley runs Crews ribs-first into the post and he is just THE MAN. Lashley gets a fallaway slam and sends him into the corner, but Crews avoids a suplex. Dominator/Yokosuka cutter hits, but he sends him to the rope for 2.

Corner charge by Lashley leads to an enzuiguri and Crews gets a crossbody. Stinger splash in the corner by Crews, but Lashley avoids the toss powerbomb, but eats a spinebuster. Standing moonsault for 2. Lashley avoids the toss, but gets the full nelson, but Crews ducks down and gets a pair of Germans and a frog splash for 2. Lashley hits a Judas Effect and elevated spinebuster to set up the Full Lashley - he gets the hooks in and wins it! We get a post-match "photo op" with live shots being shown of it. Crews attacks after the match because he's a sore loser. 




Thank you Cole for reading THE EXACT SAME AD COPY YOU ALWAYS RECITE in the same way about the Thunderdome. Reigns heel turn recap. Kayla is backstage in a suit that matches her eye liner in front of Roman's locker room. Heyman asks her to ask a good question so he doesn't waste any of their time and Roman will sign the contract when he is ready. The effervescent Keith Lee. Tremendous! JBL talks to him about investing in hedge funds with only a million dollars down. Keith says he can't afford that. "Well thanks for the offer, JBL, but I'm too poor. BUT THANKS TO THE KIND AND GENEROUS MCMAHONS, I MAY ONE DAY ACCOMPLISH MY DREAMS!"



Miz and Big E's deal from Talking Smack is shown with Miz's unreal white and red outfit. Sheamus vs. Big E is up. I get some technical issues and things come back with Sheamus locking in a half-crab. Suicide spear meets a knee and the outside-in shoulder tackle. Sheamus hits an Alabama slam for 2. E revs up for the suicide spear and instead of Sheamus...just staying on the floor, he goes on the apron like an idiot. THE VIRTUAL WWE UNIVERSE fires up Big E! Sheamus gets a heel hook and a big pump knee gets 2. Brogue, but he catches him into a powerbomb and Big Endings him to win. This ruled!

A new interview girl named Alyse interviews the King of Bros as he says the King of Bros will take King Corbin's crown. She reads off this long-winded goofball tweet about Corbin burying his home life. MY GOD WE GET ACTING FROM SHAYNA AND NIA! Corbin jumps Riddle and the ref asks THE MMA FIGHTER if he can continue. Corbin is a GOLDEN GLOVES BOXING CHAMPION facing a former UFC fighter and Riddle's fighting from underneath because sure why not. CORBINLOCK into a Kimura by Riddle. RNC by Riddle and the fakeout lariat hits for Corbin.  TWO CORBINLOCKS!



Another fakeout lariat is met with a Cro Cop kick by Riddle. Deep Six hits for 2. Corbin gets the mount and eats elbows from a downed position. Floating bro ends it. "This is a massive upset!"
Why? ON WHAT PLANET IS THIS AN UPSET!? Backstage, Riddle says he's done with Corbin BUT CORBIN jumps him. This has only been on an hour!? Bayley and Sasha recap to set up the tag title match. Bayley and Sasha have matching red and black gear.




Ground abdominal stretch by Sasha to Shayna and the heels double team...something maybe a back breaker to Shayna. Nia misses a legdrop and is beached like a whale, so Bayley humps her leg like a dog for a "kneebar". Sure why not. Shayna comes in and gets the Yokosuka cutter and knee for 2. Shayna gets a kneebar/RNC combo because sure and that leads to SHAYNA AND NIA AS WACKY TAG CHAMPS THAT DON'T GET ALONG! Shayna cuts a promo-ish while Nia dances and yells.



Seth and Murphy face the Mysterios in a boring match. Dom wins with the 619 and frog splash after throwing Rey into a sunset bomb on Rollins on the floor. Braun and Bray start off with a billion finishers and hit big moves. Uranage mid-ring then another on the floor through the announce table. BRAY BONKS HIM WITH THE MALLET and Braun chugga chugga choo choos him off the stage. Bray superplexes Braun to break the ring, but THE BIG DOG comes down and signs the contract chair in tow. He wants an easy win but can't get it and is stumped...despite having a chair with him. Chairshots aplenty and a spear end it for Braun, so Bray is protected in defeat and Roman beats Braun for the billionth time.
