WADE BARRETT vs. THE MIZ vs. CURTIS AXEL: I didn't realize it, but Axel is Mr. Perfect's kid. Mr. Perfect is dead. Totally forgot that. Axel is Paul Heyman's newest boy. This match was all action for awhile, so that was good. It didn't help that The Miz, Axel, and Barrett, aren't very good. **KAITLYN vs. AJ: This was AJ's first title win. Really? Really. A typical women's match. I prefer AJ in skits. *1/2
DEAN AMBROSE vs. KANE: Ugh. Why is Kane still around? The 90's called and wants him back. 1/2*
ALBERTO DEL RIO vs. DOLPH ZIGGLER: Okay. So this match was, apparently, the reason the show was titled "Payback." Ziggler beat a hurt Del Rio for the title after cashing in his MITB contract the night after Wrestlemania. Ziggler hasn't wrestled in a month because of a concussion...so Del Rio kicked him in the head and stuff and won. Jeez. Who the fuck likes Del Rio? Well he's a heel again now but still can't wrestle. Ziggler is great. What a horrible title reign. *
CM PUNK vs. CHRIS JERICHO: The Chi-town crowd roared and cheered for Punk. Still...these two don't mesh that well. The end was good with a flurry of activity but Jericho is not as fast or exciting as he once was. **
SETH ROLLINS & ROMAN REIGNS vs. DANIEL BRYAN & RANDY ORTON: They got the short end of the stick. It didn't get any time, felt pointless (Bryan battling The Shield has been the main event on Smackdown forever). *1/2
JOHN CENA vs. RYBACK "THREE STAGES OF HELL": So there was a lumberjack match that Ryback won. A tables match that Cena won. Then Cena threw Ryback through the top of an ambulance to win the ambulance match and keep the title. Still not sure why the roof of the ambulance was made of, apparently, cardboard. It was semi-entertaining. **
