He mentioned that it only gets better and promised to say "Thank you" every time he steps into the ring. Cena announced his return to WWE and talked about his upcoming matches in India and hosting Payback on Saturday. He pledged to give back to the fans and promised an epic SmackDown tonight. However, Jimmy Uso's music interrupted him. ## The crowd responded with boos, and they kept chanting Cena's name while demanding to see Jey. Cena acknowledged the crowd's enthusiasm. Jimmy asked Cena why he was here and claimed that the crowd came to see him, a top star. He defended his actions against Jey, stating that he did it out of love for his brother. Jimmy argued that he didn't want Jey to be corrupted like Roman Reigns and John Cena. ## Cena interrupted Jimmy and poked fun at his fashion sense.

The show took a commercial break. ## Upon returning from the break, Michin was seen chatting with the rest of the O.C., and AJ Styles appeared visibly upset. The scene then shifted back to the ring. ## The Bobby Lashley/Street Profits segment ## The crowd was really excited for Lashley, and he expressed his gratitude to them. Lashley then addressed the ongoing situation between him and the Street Profits. He mentioned that he wants to give credit where it's due and praised the Street Profits.

Before he could continue, Montez Ford interrupted him, stating they were there to show their appreciation to Lashley. ## Ford added that the Street Profits find themselves pretty attractive. Dawkins chimed in, mentioning that Lashley helped them see the bigger picture. Ford clarified that it's nothing personal, it's just about making profits.

He declared that they are putting everyone on notice and are on a mission to attain power, control, and championship titles. Lashley emphasized that they're coming for everything. ## Lashley's music played, bringing an end to the segment. However, the moment didn't last long as Kevin Owens made his entrance with the tag team belts. Following him, Sami Zayn entered the scene, passing by the Street Profits on their way to the ring ## Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn Vs Cruz Del Toro & Juaquin Wilde ## Sami and Wilde kicked things off, with Sami applying a wrist lock and then transitioning into a side headlock.

He describes himself as a human time traveler who will send Knight back to his apartment, cutting promos into a mirror as if it's 2003.## Knight responds by saying he never learned to quit because he doesn't know how.

Stark shared that she took the initiative to offer her apologies to The Man after the unfortunate blunder. ## “Statement made (laughs). In all seriousness, we did talk, and she was fine. She’s good, like, her nose, you know, it happens. ## We’re in a very physical sport. I don’t ever want to hurt anybody, but when it happens, it happens, and you go back and you apologize, and that’s exactly what I did. I went back, ‘I’m so sorry.’It sucks when it happens. It sucks. But it happens.” ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

In the video, Nakamura asserts that he doesn't merely wish to defeat Seth; he aims to disassemble him entirely. Nakamura expresses a desire for Seth's wife to understand that she assists him out of bed due to Nakamura's actions. He envisions Seth being unable to walk his daughter down the aisle, citing his intention to break Seth's back and put an end to his existence. Nakamura confidently declares that Seth has no future. ## Seth interrupts, inquiring if that is all Nakamura has to offer as a legendary figure. He questions what happened to the Nakamura who headlined the Tokyo Dome and set NXT ablaze upon his arrival. Just a month prior, Seth notes, he would've given Nakamura the shirt off his back. Yet, that same back, broken in two places, didn't hinder Seth from becoming World Champion. He emphasizes that his injured back won't prevent him from thrashing Nakamura on Saturday. ## Seth pledges to relentlessly assault Nakamura until someone intervenes. He promises Nakamura that he will never take anything from him: neither his title, his future, nor his family. ## Nakamura interrupts by delivering a knee to Seth's back and applying a reverse chin lock. He concludes his attack with a forceful kick to Seth's head. ## Meanwhile, in the locker room, Sami and Kevin discuss their ongoing rivalry. ## Sami voices frustration with the recurring pattern, highlighting their victories and The Judgment Day's persistent comebacks. He references the recent DQ win and how it granted them a title shot. Sami questions Kevin, asking him to elucidate their plan. ## Kevin responds, stating that the rules won't be in their favor this time. He brings up Pittsburgh, prompting Sami to acknowledge it as the Steel City. Kevin reveals their match type: a Steel City street fight. He humorously adds that while Pittsburgh has seen its share of eccentric occurrences, what they have in store will surpass them all. ## Singles Match: Tommaso Ciampa Vs Bronson Reed ## Reed launches a surprise attack on Ciampa from behind as Ciampa makes his way to the ring. Ciampa retaliates with a series of punches, and both competitors enter the ring. Ciampa dispatches Reed to the outside and follows up with a knee strike that propels Reed to the floor. Ciampa then executes another knee off the apron. ## We're back from the break, and the match is already in progress. Ciampa nails a Thesz Press off the turnbuckles, but Reed answers with a splash. Reed attempts a delayed vertical suplex, but Ciampa counters with a knee and shifts it into a sleeper hold. Reed drives Ciampa into the turnbuckles with a splash.

She questions if taking the easy route is the right path and whether she even wants that. She affirms her intention to introduce a whole lot of chaos. ## The Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley, enters the scene, accompanied by Dominik Mysterio. As we return to the scene, Tiffany Stratton is seated in the front row in Memphis. ## Rhea responds, stating that Raquel asserts she'll bring her down a notch, yet she had to feign an injury to gain an upper hand. Rhea holds no grudge against Raquel for that move. She opts not to delve into listing her achievements, as it would take up too much time. Instead, she gestures to the title belt around her waist as the ultimate proof. While Raquel believes she's snatching the championship on Saturday, Rhea sees that notion as another testament to Raquel's foolishness. Rhea acknowledges Raquel's own accomplishments: her size and toughness. Raquel might be big and strong, but she's not Rhea Ripley. Despite all the talk, Rhea asserts that she'll leave as the champion after Payback. ## Raquel's interruption leads her to the ring. ## Punches are exchanged between Raquel and Rhea. Raquel launches into punches and kicks, following up with an Irish whip and a corner splash. Raquel executes a fallaway slam, sending Rhea to the outside.

She points out that Becky's actions are granting Zoey Stark unrestricted control to unleash her attacks. Trish alludes to their upcoming match on Saturday, highlighting the implications. ## Zoey Stark asserts that once she's finished dealing with Becky, she'll leave enough for Trish to contend with in their steel cage match. ## Returning from the break, the focus shifts to the Payback event card. ## A retrospective video package pays homage to Terry Funk, reflecting on his career and contributions. ## Becky Lynch Vs Zoey Stark (with Trish Stratus) in a Falls Count Anywhere Match ## Before the match commences, Becky retrieves her own kendo stick conveniently stashed under the ring.
