If Zayn won, he would be included in the main event at WWE Payback 2016. – Despite losing to the Undertaker in that classic Hell in a Cell match at Wrestlemania, Shane O’Mac was still given the chance to run the show the night before Mania, and he never disappointed a bit. Owens tells Shane that what happens to Sami Zayn tonight will be on him. There’s definitely more that would be great to see accomplished-like there’s no reason for the women not to have tag team championships to compete for like the men do. They could end up as one of the top tag teams in the company, they could end up joining with Styles or Balor. Everything from their entrance, to attire, to move set, to general mannerisms in the ring all makes sense. Things went black, and the Wyatt Family appeared in the ring. Wade Barrett is another wrestler fans to love to get behind when he’s got the right gimmick, and who generally seems like a well-rounded and affable fellow, yet he’s forever seems doomed to wander the abyss of creative displacement. The League of Nations had confronted Reigns earlier in the night, and the Wyatt Family had come out to make the save. Though they had kept it simple, it’ll take some time for novice users to get acquainted with the site’s interface as the content is scattered across the webpage. Out come The Usos: they meet a similar fate, and Jimmy and Jey go through some tables. I don’t think that’s bad for the wrestling business, but if WWE is trying to utilize all of their talent in a way that’s conducive to growing their audience, a brand extension is the only answer. Those other women are wrestlers. When the match finally starts it is great, until the predictable screwjob finish. Afterwards, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, formerly of Bullet Club, attacked the Usos. He did it for fans like me, who missed watching matches such as his on a regular basis. REACT: Thought Cesaro would win, but it’s wise to push Styles while he’s still fresh. While he is not going to be favorited to walk out as champion, it’s possible we get multiple matches out of these two that leads to the former NJPW star getting a title reign. Pushing a newcomer (to the WWE) like AJ Styles, even with all of his experience, is a surprise as well. Dean Ambrose soon interrupted things, and handed Y2J a memo from Shane that said The Highlight Reel was cancelled. Booker said Chris Jericho was his all-time rival. As it stands, they don’t know enough to properly bring the old school fashion of wrestling to the forefront; it just looks like they work slower and simpler than the rest of the roster, and there’s more to that than meets the eye. Also, aligning Reigns with Ambrose and a returning – and presumably babyface – Seth Rollins should get the crowd off his back. Nice little segment. Jericho got to be the conceited heel, Ambrose got to be the witty babyface.

Bo Dallas and Adam Rose are also at ringside for this match, as the two teams battle it out. Crews does an impressive back flip before kicking him. Will the League of Nations get their retribution, or will Bray and his followers once again decimate the members of the League of Nations?

Wyatt and Reigns have a discussion on who is going to start the match. It looks like Kalisto might have legitimately injured himself in one of the many botches, and it looks like the Dudleys hit that 3D on Sin Cara super hard to send a message about how unhappy they were. However, Miz has had Maryse help him the last two times with Ryder, which means there is a story for Ryder there. Hopefully they will provide some much needed spice to the tag team division with their flair and, in the case of Enzo Amore, their Rock-esque trash talk.
