Winner- Samoa Joe
After the match, Joe grabs a mic and yells for Seth Rollins. Joe asks Rollins if he remembers what it sounded like when he arrived here. Joe remembers it very well. It was the sound of Rollins ligaments and joints popping. It was the sounds of Rollins screaming in agony. That was just business. That was a result of his benefactor Triple H. Because of what Rollins did to Triple H and his wife Stephanie McMahon. When they step into the ring at Payback it won’t be business- it will be personal. Rollins stands on the announce table and says at Payback it won’t be business, it will be all about Payback… And Payback it a bitch.
