вЂ“ We go right to the ring and out comes Seth Rollins with Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble. WeвЂ™re live from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey as the pyro goes off and Michael Cole welcomes us. Fair enough, given the task ahead, but payback (and Payback) Sunday might be, well, you know.вЂ“ TonightвЂ™s WWE RAW opens with the usual intro video. As it turned out, Ambrose, Reigns and Orton had half a mind to test KaneвЂ™s loyalty, planting the champion with Dirty Deeds, a Spear and an RKO while Kane watched nonchalantly before tearing each other apart, with Ambrose getting the last laugh via Dirty Deeds on Reigns. Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble broke up the match to end the bout in a disqualification, at which point Kane arrived, chair in hand and intended victim uncertain before Ambrose and Reigns arrived to expel J&J from the ring. Photos: The Viper stalks The ArchitectВ | Watch Reigns, Orton and Ambrose strike Facing an opponent he knows almost as well as he knows himself, Rollins went move-for-move with The Viper, escaping both OrtonвЂ™s backbreaker and a back drop with the greatest of ease until a hanging DDT seemingly had him dead to rights. It didnвЂ™t quite end the way The King of Kings had hoped, but Rollins fared better than J&J SecurityвЂ™s outmatched contest with Dean Ambrose and KaneвЂ™s scrapped brawl with Roman Reigns. The third, pitting Seth Rollins against Randy Orton in an Extreme Rules rematchВ (sans cage), got a lot closer to the mark. Triple HвЂ™s first two challenges to The Authority did not pan out as heвЂ™d hoped. The Viper battles 'The Future of WWE' in this explosive Raw main event. The match was over but the RussianвЂ™s demonstration was not, as he locked Cena in the Accolade moments later until The Champ lost consciousness. The maneuver effectively handed Neville his first title in WWE вЂ¦ until Rusev rushed the ring and stomped on The New Sensation during the refereeвЂ™s count. He went so far as to successfully land the Red Arrow on The Champ after a long, competitive match. The crazy part is, he almost pulled it off. Preview: Will Cena say 'I Quit'?В | Watch The New Sensation challenge The Champ The ChampвЂ™s would-be usurper? Neville, who followed his fellow former NXT Champion Sami ZaynвЂ™s exampleВ by taking The Champ on one-on-one. Title before Rusev brought the match to a brutal end.

FandangoДЄfter Rusev does not meet John Cena in the ring, Neville answers the United States Champion's open challenge.ДЇor the first time, John CenaвЂ™s U.S. The Celtic Warrior cleaned up after his King, bestowing a beating upon The Showoff after the bell, ending with a Brogue Kick that all but knocked Ziggler back to the feudal ages. Sensing disaster for the King, Sheamus rushed to the ringВ and distracted Ziggler, allowing Barrett to capitalize by thumping him with another Bull Hammer for the win. SheamusД®ven that wasnвЂ™t quite enough, as Ziggler thwarted the Bull Hammer by dropkicking Barrett in the elbow and rammed him shoulder-first into the ring post. The Showoff wasnвЂ™t about to quietly assume the role of BarrettвЂ™s вЂњRoyal Arse-Kisser,вЂќ superkicking the monarch before heвЂ™d even shed his capeВ for a near-fall, forcing Barrett to battle back from underneath. Of course, it doesnвЂ™t hurt that Sheamus is also watching his back from commentary, but вЂњThe Bloody KingвЂќ got his reign back on track after Neville & Dolph Ziggler one-upped him last weekВ on SmackDown. Make no mistake, King Barrett is watching his throne. The Showoff squares off against the 2015 King of the Ring.
