* King Barrett kicks off SmackDown. Jerry Lawler interviews Barrett in the ring and he bullies Lawler around. Barrett threatens to hit Lawler with a Bullhammer but out comes Dolph Ziggler.

* Ziggler vs. Barrett is up first. Sheamus ran out for the interference and the double team but Neville made the save to a big pop. We get a tag match next…

* Ziggler and Neville defeated Barrett and Sheamus in a very good tag match.

* Luke Harper defeated Fandango. After the match, Erick Rowan came down and beat up Fandango as Harper looked on.

* Lana comes out to a big pop but is interrupted by Rusev, who yells at her and cuts a promo on John Cena. Rusev says he will see Cena on Monday’s RAW and make him pay.

* The New Day defeated Ryback, Cesaro and Tyson Kidd. Bray Wyatt made the lights go out after a solid six-man match, leading to Ryback and everyone else being distracted and the end of the match.

* Naomi defeated Emma. Naomi and Tamina Snuka beat Emma down after the match. Our correspondent noted that Naomi was impressive and definitely had some fans in the crowd.

* The Lucha Dragons defeated Los Matadores.

* Kane comes out for the Payback Fatal 4 Way contract signing. He introduces everyone and cuts a promo. Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Randy Orton all come out but WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins says he will not. Rollins tells Kane to sign the contract for him but Kane won’t. Seth whines but they all sign and Ambrose flips over the table, calling dibs on it for the fight that’s about to break out. They all start brawling and SmackDown goes off the air with Rollins standing tall.

Both The Lucha Dragons vs Los Matadores & The New Day vs Ryback, Cesaro and Tyson Kidd were good fun.

Really interested in the Payback main event. A change from most PPVs. Personally will be happy if they just do the Shield's old powerbomb move. But there's some mad speculations going around that The Shield will reunite as a heel group.

* Adam Rose with Rosa Mendes defeated Zack Ryder. Ryder came close to getting the win but missed coming off the second rope and Rose got the pin.

* Jack Swagger made Bo Dallas tap out with the Patriot Lock. Bo got bad heel heat it seemed.

* Curtis Axel comes out for a promo but is interrupted by Damien Sandow as “Macho Mandow.” This gets a huge pop. They worked an entertaining match until The Ascension rushed the ring and destroyed them. The Ascension cut a promo trashing them and stood tall.

* Stardust defeated R-Truth

Bo is gaining a noticeable amount of weight. His stomach is no longer a piece of excess skin and more so a gut.

Mandow hasn't got Savage down as much as you would hope. Hopefully he hones it more soon.

We are heading into that June silly season where they experiement also the Raw ratings are dangerously low. WWE does need fresher and strong heels than Big Show and Kane. Reigns could benefit from a heel run too. Easier to be boo'd than cheered and all that.

Cool to see the tag team division be a thing with Mega Powers of Mandow and Sandowmania being put together as well as Rowan and Harper reuniting.

Always felt they missed a major opportunity bY having the Shield hold the top title. The trio were positioned as unstoppable, and the three of them working together could be great.

The Shield reuniting could be good but could it last long? there has to be a better way to make a credible opponent for Brock.

Initially seeing them v Cena with help from people like Cesaro and Kidd would be good but when Summerslam rolls around are they going to be hurt by struggling against Brock and possibly splitting up again that soon?

Reigns joining with Seth could be good. Reigns v Ambrose could help Reigns a lot.

A Horseman beat down right at the start of the main event and then Brock taking out each Shield member one by one to get to Rollins would be great fun in the short term.
