WWE RAW Results (4/27) – Payback Main Event Set, Neville vs Harper, King Of The Ring Returns!

United States Open Challenge

Heath Slater vs John Cena (c) 

Slater comes out to answer the challenge and mocks the hometown crowd, and says he’s taking advantage of a hurt champion. Rusev comes out and hits him from behind, then he superkicks Slater off the stage as Lana walks out. Rusev screams at her to leave, then he tells Cena these people quit on themselves just Cena will do at Payback. He says there will be no ‘God Bless America’, and all they will say is ‘I Quit!’

Result – No Contest 

BP: I like how they are slowly turning Lana face, and teasing dissention with her and Rusev. This feud has actually been very good and hard hitting, but I wonder what happens at Payback. Rusev won the first match, but Cena winning three in a row might not be good for Rusev in the end. Cena doesn’t quit, so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. 

Kane and Seth Rollins argue about the fans having a say in his next title defense, and Rollins says there’s no way this is good. Kane says he has an idea, and the fans will vote in a poll to choose Roman Reigns, Randy Orton… or Reigns AND Orton in a triple threat. Rollins flips out and says that’s terrible, but Kane tells him to worry about his match tonight and go from there. 

King Of The Ring Quarterfinal Match

Stardust vs R-Truth

Stardust hits Truth a few times and applies a headlock, then he taunts the crowd and whips Truth into the corner. Truth elbows him and hits a clothesline, then he goes for an axe kick but Stardust ducks and gets a two count rollup. Stardust comes back with a side Russian legsweep, then they slug it out before Truth catches Stardust with a Lie Detector. 

Winner – R-Truth
