Dolph Ziggler def. King Barrett by Disqualification
OTTAWA, Ontario —With WWE Payback only 10 days away,The Architect built his own brand of chaos on the foundation of the upcoming WWE World Heavyweight Championship Fatal 4-Way Match. Plus, royal disorder, dominant Divas action and the fierce rumblings of a Russian Tank.
While WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler was unceremoniously turned away in his interview with King Barrett, the winner of the 2015 King of the Ring Tournament would not have such an easy time in his subsequent battle against Dolph Ziggler. But when Sheamus’ involvement brought the contest to a premature conclusion and Neville emerged to even the odds, an impromptu tag team match was set up between the four competitors.

Rusev promises to crush The Champ at WWE Payback
While Lana showed appreciation for the recent cheers she has been receiving from the WWE Universe, she asked that they stop it because it was upsetting Rusev.
