Lafayette, LA 4/11/14 John Cena talks about WrestleMania XXX and Monday Night RAWJohn Cena’s music hits, and he makes his way to the ring to a decent response. They show photos of John Cena’s match against Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania.Cena: Are you guys still good to go after an exhausting week?The crowd peps up a little more.Cena: It has been a busy week. It started with WrestleMania XXX, which started with the most immortal, iconic moment I've ever seen as Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, and The Rock were standing in the middle of the ring. After that, we saw Kofi Kingston defy gravity… again, Cesaro winning the first André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and Bray Wyatt did the best he could to turn a man into a monster, but he found out that he still can’t see me. Sadly we also saw the Undertaker defeated and the end of the historic streak. On the flip side, the game got played, and we have a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. A huge “YES!” chant breaks out.Cena: That was just WrestleMania. If you saw Monday Night RAW, they turned silver into super. They believed in The Shield thanks to a bunch of new guys, they got a bit of bad news, found out Brock Lesnar is the one, and Cesaro is now a Paul Heyman guy. I personally thank the WWE Universe for rewriting my theme music. The crowd begins to weakly sing, “John Cena sucks,” to the theme of Cena’s entrance song.Cena: They say the future is now, and I agree. On Monday, he was taught to “Bo-Lieve” in himself. Then the Diva’s division turned into an "Ibuki performance.” It’s an exciting time to be in the WWE as there are so many promising superstars. I want to make a promise of my own: I'm not “The One,” “The Viper,” or “The Animal.” I'm not “The Boss.” I'm the measuring stick and the standard bearer. I am John Cena. Any WWE superstar can talk all they want, but past, present, or future, they do know that if they want their feet planted firmly on the top of the WWE mountain, they have to go through me to do it.The Wyatt Family’s image flashes on the screen, and we’re brought backstage to see Erick Rowan in his sheep mask filling the screen.Harper: Time is supposed to heal all wounds, but unfortunately for John Cena, he’s only given them more time to hurt him. Embrace your future, as it is Wyatt’s gift to him. Bray Wyatt comes into the screen. Wyatt: Sometimes I wish that I could feel pain, but I am different. And we should all embrace our differences, right kids? I saw it in your eyes. It’s the first time I realized that you aren't hollow in there. It’s in your heart. It’s something that you know all too well because when you look inside yourself , you see the good and the bad. You see dreams, worlds that haven’t been discovered, and miracles. Your mind is endless, and you are free. It must have been so frightening for you because I was right there. All I needed was one last push. Now, I've realized I have to go to new extremes if I want to bring out the monster that I know exists in John Cena. This party is far from over. “He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands.”Match 1: Hajime Hinata vs. Cesaro w. Paul HeymanThe match goes back in forward till Cesaro hits an European Uppercut on Hajime which gives him an advantage. However, it doesn't take long until Swagger interferes, causing a DQ.Winner by DQ: CesaroJBL: Wait, why did Swagger interfere?MC: Well, possibly payback. Hajime gets up and starts arguing with Swagger, eventually knocking him out of the ring before Cesaro hits him with a Neutralizer.MC: Now that was uncalled for. JBL: It's probably sending a message, Michael.Match 2: RybAxel vs. Tristan Taylor & Duke DevlinNothing special here. Tristan and Duke get squashed in their debut match.Winners: RybAxelBackstageRY: Please help me welcome my guest at this time, Rob Van Dam.RVD comes in.RY: Rob, how does it feel to be back in the ring?RVD: Well, it's great to be back. I'm glad I taught that bastard Sandow a lesson. But then I saw someone new in WWE.Joey: Was that person me?RVD: Yeah. Who are you?Joey: The names Joey Wheeler. I'm a big fan. RVD: Are you now?Joey: Yeah. From ECW to WWE to that other company, you are definitely one of my favorites. RVD: Well, I look forward to seeing what you got tonight. Joey: Don't worry. Sandow will be a piece of cake.Match 3: Joey Wheeler vs. Damien Sandow Joey backed up his words after hitting a Brooklyn Drop on Sandow for the win.Winner: Joey WheelerRVD comes out and raises his hand.MC: Just like what we saw Monday Night.JBL: Except it's the other way around.BackstageKyoko is on the phone.Kyoko: Look, can you 3 get down here? I've got a feeling that Bryan will walk into another trap, and I know Bakura's gotta be here. Thanks, bye.Bakura watches this from the shadows.Bakura: Perhaps Batista, Kane, and Orton could use some help. Might as well assist them.

Batista, Randy Orton, & Kane (w. Bakura)After the colossal Six-Man Tag Team main event ended in a double count-out and Randy Orton and Batista took down The Usos outside the ring, Kane began to rip apart the SmackDown announce table in order to punish Daniel Bryan. However, before he and Bakura could punish him, The Shield & Kyoko Kirigiri emerged to unleash a major counter-assault.Then, after The Viper & The Animal elected to back away from a confrontation with The Shield, Bryan used a running knee to thwart Kane’s attempted chair attack on The Hounds. The black-clad trio then finished off the Director of Operations with a Triple Powerbomb heard round the world. Bakura then retreated before Kyoko could inflict major damage on him as SmackDown went off the air.

Will they choose the path of less pain or is tonight the night John Cena learns the truth?The truth is they stand against him. Whether it is this brother or that brother. Whether it’s in a steel cage, they are against him. At Extreme Rules, two monsters will enter the cage. On this night, it won’t matter which monster has the sharpest teeth or the longest claws.

All three men are wearing business attire. Orton is the only one without a tie. The crowd is warmly receiving Evolution for the most part. Triple H says he laughs every time he thinks about it. His voice is extremely hoarse tonight. Imagine what it feels like. Imagine telling the whole world that you were the baddest guys on the planet every week, and then one day your daddy comes out and spanks you in front of the whole world. That’s humiliating and humbling, and it’s just the beginning. Randy Orton says it sometimes takes a single spark to set the world on fire. In this case, it was one careless act by The Shield that set into motion the gears of their destruction. That led to the reformation of the most dominant, fearsome group ever: Evolution. A video package then plays highlighting Evolution’s past. There wasn’t any mention of Ric Flair, though.Back to live action, Batista asks if they get it. Batista says there is thirty-one World Titles between the three of them. The Shield has absolutely no idea what they’ve gotten themselves into.

Dean Ambrose says last week wasn’t the first time they were beaten up, and it won’t be the last. Ambrose said they did a real number on them. Ambrose has a question for Triple H: do they look humbled to him? Ambrose says there is a reason Triple H hired them to protect him and his creampuff Randy Orton. Everyone knows they are the meanest, nastiest, dirtiest, most ruthless animals in the industry. The dogs are hungry and angry.Seth Rollins says Ambrose is angry, and he has every right to be after what Evolution did. Evolution and twelve other guys. For Batista to say that they have no idea what they’ve gotten themselves into – they have every idea since they started this. Rollins will give them some reality. Evolution doesn’t want to fight right now. They talk about how powerful they are and how they were built for dominance. They aren’t, though. In two weeks, they’ll come face to face with the Hounds of Justice, and it will be an all-out war. When push comes to shove, they won’t look for Evolution. Randy Orton will look out for himself. Batista has a lot of Hollywood obligations, so he’ll be looking out for himself. As for Triple H, he’ll do what he always does. He’ll do what’s best for the boss. What they’re looking at is the most dominant force in the history of this company. In two week at Extreme Rules, they’ll rip them to pieces. This little reunion that they’re so proud of will come to an abrupt halt. When Triple H made the match, he put a nail in his own coffin. At Extreme Rules, they’ll be the hammers that drive it home.Roman Reigns takes the microphone. He talks about how they gave them an ultimatum last week, so he has one for them. In a few moments, he’s going to drop the microphone, and they’ll come up the ramp to beat their asses. They have two options: they can try to fight, or they can be creampuffs and try to hide. The Shield begins to come up the ramp when the eleven men from last week’s main event come out to stand by Evolution. Triple H says there is always an option three. In life, you either adapt or perish. That is Evolution. The Shield stands back and yells at them as Triple H smiles back.Replays are shown of Kane’s assault on Daniel Bryan earlier in the night.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
The Smackdown video plays, and we’re brought into the arena to see Smackdown’s General Manager, Vickie Guerrero, in the ring. Vickie says she has been in direct contact with The Authority, and they have taken a well-deserved night off. She would like to address The Shield. Due to their disrespectful conduct on this past Monday’s RAW, they will have a tag team match later on tonight. They will be facing Curtis Axel, Ryback, Alberto Del Rio, and Vickie laughs before saying it doesn’t matter. All the crowd needs to know is that there will be eleven superstars facing The Shield tonight. Vickie then laughs.The camera pans out, and Vickie is in the middle of a set of podiums. On one side is Zeb Colter with Jack Swagger and on the other side is Paul Heyman with Cesaro. Vickie calls this “The Great Debate.” Vickie says both Heyman and Colter have had many differences of opinion on many subjects. Colter will have 90 seconds to start. Colter thanks WWE and the Universe, as well as Vickie Guerrero for moderating this. Colter says he does have differing opinions with Heyman. Colter says they’re debating what happened at WrestleMania two and a half weeks ago and on RAW the following night. Everybody saw him get ambushed by Heyman and Cesaro when they changed plans. Colter says if Vickie starts itching, it’s just the fleas falling off Heyman. Colter has a question and also wants to get something straight with Cesaro. Cesaro is with Heyman now, but ten months ago, no one knew Cesaro’s name. Not even the commentators knew his name. Cesaro came to him and asked for help because he agreed with his message. Colter believed in Cesaro. Swagger never did, but he convinced him. Colter says he nurtured and tutored Cesaro. The buzzer rings, and Vickie cuts him off by telling him his time is up. Colter tries to force a question in, but Vickie yells and excuses herself to stop him.Paul Heyman thanks Colter for the opportunity to allow them to clear the air as reasonable gentlemen without having to appear in court. Heyman also thanks Vickie and the crowd. Heyman says it’s incumbent upon him to make Colter cognizant of the fact that his client, Brock Lesnar, conquered The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania. Heyman says it a few more times so Colter can understand. Colter yells at him to stop and mentions that Heyman isn’t answering the question. Heyman still continues on until the buzzer sounds.Vickie gives Colter 60 seconds now. Colter says he doesn’t want to talk about Brock Lesnar nor does he care about Brock Lesnar. Colter cares about Cesaro. Colter asks if Cesaro even knows Heyman’s history. Heyman owes people in 47 states and 8 foreign countries. Heyman is a liar, a thief, and a manipulator. Heyman would rather climb a tree and tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth. Colter warns Heyman that he will learn about Cesaro. Cesaro is a different breed. Cesaro is great, but Heyman will find out about him. Colter asks why Heyman stole Cesaro away from The Real Americans. Colter yields the remainder of his time to Heyman.Heyman says hard questions deserve hard questions. Heyman says he’s the one behind the one in 21-1. His guy won the one. When is the last time Colter’s guy WON? Heyman has the answer. The last time a Zeb Colter guy won is when one won the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Colter yells that he’s wrong. Heyman says he is wrong because when Cesaro won the battle royal at WrestleMania, he was already a Paul Heyman guy! Heyman then says, “My client, Cesaro, won the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania.” Heyman repeats that over and over again until the buzzer sounds.Colter asks Cesaro if he knows who entered him into the battle royal. Colter says he was the one, not Paul Heyman. Technically when Cesaro won it, it was because he got him into it. Colter asks how long he has known Heyman. Colter then says it’s been “forever and a day,” which is “forever and two days too long.” Colter says he knew this was going to be a sham when he came out here. He knew he wouldn’t get any answers from Heyman, and he was right. Colter knocks over the podium, and he approaches Heyman. Colter says this isn’t between Cesaro or Swagger. Colter tells Heyman to look at him like a man for the first time in his life. Colter says they should settle this like men. Heyman says, “I’d be happy to look at you man to man, but we’re one man short, grandpa.” Colter says Heyman is just jealous that he has more hair on his back than Heyman has on his head. Heyman says something, but Colter tells him to “shut up,” and he shoves Heyman. Colter and Heyman start to get into a shoving contest until Swagger and Cesaro separate the two of them.

It will be reborn in his image, the image of Wyatt. John Cena thinks that he does all that he does for himself, and that is where Cena is dead wrong. He does this for the children, for the poor man that stands on the streets begging because they didn’t think he was smart enough to live in this world, and the teenage girl who cries in the morning because they didn’t think she could be prom queen. He does this for everyone in the crowd, and they loudly cheer. Wyatt says for everyday coming forward, Cena stands alone, and alone he shall fall. The children never have to be alone again. They will remember Wyatt not as a monster, only for what he truly is – a god.

Evolution then viciously beat them down.The Shield address the attack from Evolution last weekMichael Cole, Jerry “The King” Lawler, and JBL welcome us to the show. The Shield is in the center of the ring. Dean Ambrose says you saw something that you don’t see very often last week, and you’re not likely to see it again. Last week, you saw all three of them on their backs. Ambrose says they got the crap kicked out of them, but it’s ok. They might go down, but they don’t stay down. If you keep score, you’ll find that they’re up more than they’re down. Ambrose says they’re standing tall in this ring, and they want Evolution!

They’re former world champions and men who have main evented WrestleMania. They’re good. They WERE really good because they’re not the Evolution they once were because they cannot evolve to beat The Shield.Rollins asks if Roman Reigns has something to say since he’s been pacing in the background. Reigns takes the microphone to a great reception. A week ago, they victimized his brothers. A week ago, they ambushed him, bloodied him, RKO’d him, and Triple Powerbombed him. That made him realize something – “Is that all you got?” If it is, then Evolution has a serious problem. Their brand of justice can be served cold and so slow.

Due to that, he was in a neck brace, but he was determined to beat Kane. At Extreme Rules, he did just that. However, that came with a price. His entire style comes at a price.

This Thursday, he has to go for neck surgery. He’s not happy about this, as this has been his dream ever since he was a little kid.

Bray Wyatt says their actions don’t surprise him anymore. They’re so human, and all humans are flawed. It is their ignorance, greed, and thirst for power that keep them from thriving in this paradise like they’re supposed to. They become parasites. Wyatt says John Cena is no different. He’s just like them. Cena’s boundless narcissism keeps leading him to Wyatt. Where will this fairytale end? Will the mighty hero return home with the head of the beast and put it on his mantle, or was the beast waiting for him? Last week, Cena said he would never give up, even if he were the last man standing. Wyatt likes that because he wants to put that theory to the test. When mountains crumble, he will stand. When oceans boil, he will stand. When everything burns around Cena, he will still be standing. How far is Cena willing to go to take the Devil down?

Cena wishes Bryan a speedy recovery and hopes he comes back soon.Cena says he’s supposed to be out here to answer a challenge from Wyatt on Monday Night RAW, but he doesn’t know what the challenge is. As usual, Wyatt spoke with charisma and passion, but he didn’t really say anything. Wyatt said “Last Man Standing,” but he can’t be challenging Cena to that match. Wyatt has never been in that match before. In a Last Man Standing match, there are no rules, barriers, or mercy. It takes a certain individual to be in that match because the only way to win is to beat your opponent until they can no longer answer the count of ten. Cena has had these matches, and they’ve been the toughest of his career, including JBL. They beat the hell out of each other. It takes a tough individual to have that match, so Wyatt can’t be challenging him to that match. Cena says it takes a tough individual. Wyatt is a dangerous man, but only because he manipulates people into doing his dirty work. One thing Wyatt is missing is marbles, rocks, nuggets, pebbles, and raisins. Wyatt shouldn’t be singing, “He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands.” He should be singing, “I’ve Got No Pearls In My Pants.” The crowd responds well to that.Cena says Wyatt has no brain in his head because if he’s challenging him to a Last Man Standing match, then he accepts.

Wyatt says, “Hi John,” and laughs. Wyatt says Cena probably thinks he knows him pretty well, but he doesn’t. His name is Bray Wyatt, that’s true, but he walks beside monsters and sings with spirits. He could be the most dangerous man in the world if he felt like it. Thankfully for everyone, their world came to him begging on its knees for mercy. Now they’ll be the end to their little story. Now that Cena has accepted the challenge, whoever is the last man standing will conquer all. For the loser, they’ll be trapped with in the prison of their own thoughts forever wondering what might have been, but can never be.Wyatt tells Cena to keep making his jokes, but he’s so blind. Wyatt pities him, but he also wants to thank him for helping him find something inside himself that he didn’t even know existed. Cena helped him find the cure for Cena’s plague. The cure exists in his mind and in us all. His cure will finally take the air from Cena’s lungs. Wyatt says they will not allow Cena to medicate them anymore. Tonight, one of them will be standing there to lead the world into tomorrow. Cena will just be there left waiting in the muck of his own ignorance. Wyatt tells Cena to listen, and he sings, “He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands.” The crowd sings along with him.

It’s a great visual. Wyatt says we lay our heads down every night to dream, and that’s when our minds really start to tick. We start remembering all the travesties that happened to us in our lives, but in our dreams, we’re superheroes. We can fix everything and dream of revenge and payback. Just like that, we wake up and reality sets in. Then we go to the mirror and remember that we are not superheroes that can fix everything. We bottle all the rage up inside of us and go on living our lives like nothing is wrong, but everything is wrong.Wyatt says he plans on fixing that. He used to have a mean old teacher. This teacher used to look down on him and force him to remember that he was just a piece of trash. She believed that everything she read in a book was true, and everything he believed in was a lie. Wyatt asked her what it is about her that makes her think she’s better than him. Is it because her mommy and daddy paid for her to go to a fancy school and get a diploma? She looked at him and said that he was rotten. She said that he stands for nothing. The first time she looked in his eyes, she knew that he was evil. Wyatt laughs, and the crowd gives him a round of applause. Wyatt says he’s proud to say that the teacher is rotting in some retirement home filled with regrets, but he stands here as a conqueror and a revolutionary. Wyatt says he is the man of a thousand truths, and he says to the teacher lady that he has the whole damn world in his hands. The entire crowd starts to sing again.Wyatt says that is his payback. His ends justify his means. The teacher was right about one thing: he is evil. He is the necessary evil that must exist in this world to balance everything out. He is evil. His tongue is the scorpion’s tail, and when it starts striking, people get behind him. All of them hope to see everything die. John Cena hides behind his plastic smile and plays the role of hero while everything burns. The crowd chants, “Cena sucks!” Wyatt promises at WWE Payback that this fairy tale is going to end.

Sometimes what’s best for us isn’t the easiest path. Everyone must make sacrifices in life. We go to work and break our backs just to keep our children fed.

Wyatt just tried to take out an innocent man because he doesn’t agree with him. Cena says that isn’t a necessary evil. It’s just plain evil. Cena looks into the crowd before saying he believes in who he is and what he does. Cena believes, whether the family likes it or not, that Wyatt needs to be stopped. Payback isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about being the Last Man Standing. Wyatt has accused him of living a lie, but now he wants to punish innocent people for what he believes in. Cena says he’s bringing him to justice at Payback. Cena says justice may be blind, but for Wyatt, Payback will be a bitch.

This match will have Kirito against Rusev.Replays are shown from earlier in the night when The Authority had Kane attack Brad Maddox. After Kane laid him out, Stephanie McMahon fired Maddox and replaced him with Maximillion Pegasus.Daniel Bryan chooses whether to surrender the WWE World Heavyweight ChampionshipStephanie McMahon’s music hits, and she makes her way to the ring. McMahon says earlier tonight she talked about how tonight would be a night of choices. She and Triple H also talked about how important it is to have an active WWE World Heavyweight Champion. So without further adieu, before they can make any announcement about who that champion might be, they need Daniel Bryan to do the right thing. McMahon says it’s time.Daniel Bryan’s music hits, and the crowd gives him a tremendous reception as he makes his way to the ring smiling. Bryan is wearing a neck collar as the crowd loudly chants, “YES!” McMahon says it’s so great to see Bryan standing here doing so well on what must be a long road to recovery. McMahon says she could just strip him of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship right now, but that would make him a martyr, and the people cheer him enough anyhow. That being said, all kidding aside, it’s really important for the people to hear from him why he knows this is the right decision. The people deserves an active champion and epic championship matches, and he just cannot give it to them. Bryan isn’t a selfish man, so he needs to do the right thing for the people and surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.Bryan says becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania XXX was the payoff to years of hard work and sacrifice, but Stephanie McMahon is right. It’s with a heavy heart that he announces that the injury to his neck is worse than he thought. It’s partly due to a demon that McMahon claims she has no control over, but from what we saw earlier tonight she’s a liar. McMahon says no one is lying about his condition. Bryan says he acknowledges that there is no shame in handing over the title, healing, and coming back stronger to become champion again. McMahon personally guarantees him another shot at the title. Bryan sarcastically says he’d love to do it all over again. Bryan says there is no shame in handing the title over because the people deserve an awesome WWE World Heavyweight Champion. McMahon tried to put this on him, but it’s not about him. It’s about her. She has wanted to strip him of the title ever since he beat her husband and won the title at WrestleMania XXX. The crowd loudly cheers. Bryan says she isn’t doing this for the fans. She’s doing it for herself. Bryan says it would negate everything he fought for if he just hands the titles to her. It would negate anytime someone chanted “YES” because The Authority didn’t give them what they wanted. It would be throwing it back in their face. The crowd chants, “YES!”Bryan says he’s going to tell her a word that she’s not used to hearing. It’s a word she probably never heard, even as a child. Does McMahon want him to hand over the WWE World Heavyweight Championship? Bryan gets in her face and screams, “NO!” over an over again. The crowd loudly follows along with him.McMahon says she knew he’d let his ego get in the way of good common sense. Bryan is letting the people and his injury mess with his brain. She wanted to be extra sensitive about his condition, but two weeks ago, when he was getting loaded into the ambulance, his wife, Brie Bella, put her hands on her. A replay is then shown of Brie Bella shoving Stephanie McMahon from two weeks ago. Bryan is seen smiling, and McMahon says you cannot put your hands on the boss. She’s not only Brie’s boss, she’s Bryan’s boss. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, only in this case, the equal reaction doesn’t measure up. McMahon is going to give Bryan one more chance to do the right thing. This Sunday at WWE Payback, Bryan will decide if he’ll surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship or if she’ll take action against his wife and make her fired! McMahon’s music hits, and she leaves the ring as Bryan looks torn.Evolution and The Shield will have a contract signing later tonight.

ATLANTA – On the final show en route to WWE Payback, SmackDown played host to both a Champion vs. Champion Match and a Last Man Standing showdown.After feeling the wrath of Evolution in a Raw Contract Signing gone south, an extremely focused and intense Shield reemerged, wondering just how crazy their Payback opponents are willing to get when two of the greatest factions in WWE history go head-to-head in a No Holds Barred Elimination Match this Sunday.While many scenarios are possible in such an unpredictable free-for-all, The Hounds of Justice made one thing perfectly clear: At Payback, "The end of Evolution will be extinction."Cesaro def. Kofi KingstonIn the first match of the night, Paul Heyman joined the SmackDown announce team to watch his Superstar Cesaro in action against Kofi Kingston.
