Winner – Sheamus
BP: Been looking forward to the announcement of this match for a few weeks. This will be a fun one to watch on Sunday.
The Shield comes to the ring for the contract signing, but they throw everything out of the ring and say they want to get right to business. Evolution comes out and Triple H says they don't understand what they are signing, and he is a pretty good judge of talent, considering who is with him. He says they had all the talent in the world but they threw it away, and if they sign the contract, Sunday will mark the last time they see The Shield together. They all sign it and Reigns throws the clipboard back at Triple H, then Evolution signs it and HHH says they will become statistics.
Reigns tells him to shut up, then he says they should get in the ring and fight. Evolution teases leaving before running in, then they brawl across the ring and on the floor. Ambrose blocks a Pedigree and backdrops HHH on the floor, then Rollins splashes him as Batista drops Ambrose with a spear. Reigns turns and Superman punches him, then HHH hits him with a sledgehammer before Evolution gains the upper hand. HHH hits Reigns in the head with the hammer, knocking him outside, then he hits Ambrose with it as Orton and Batista take the commentary table apart and powerbomb Reigns through it.
BP: Payback has been shaping up to be a good show. This is going to be nothing short of an all out war.
