(Copyright information flashes on the screen. We go into a highlight video of how each match came about. From Edge winning the fatal five way. Finally after going over the other matches we go into an introduction screen welcoming us to Payback 2019. The lights are turned off. Pyrotechnics rain down from the top of the stage. Finally they end, and the lights turn on. Fans yell, and wave their signs. The camera scans the crowd, before zooming out, and showing the location information.)

JR-The EMF has come to Detroit. Welcome to this edition of Payback. I’m good ol’ JR, Jim Ross joined by Jerry “The King” Lawler, and Kris “KG” Gaffney. King last week we saw the Rated R superstar defy the odd’s, and come out of the fatal five way match with a chance for a shot at the IC championship on the line.

King-Well…anyone who would have won was defying the odd’s JR….unless Scott Steiner was in it.

Kris Gaffney-That guy just throws everything into chaos.

King-Or does he…?

JR-Well, let’s get started with the first match of the night.

(“Down with the sickness” blasts on the PA system. Angelus Archer walks to the ring, he slides into the ring.)

Announcer: This match is a ladder match for a chance to be number one contender to the IC Championship. Introducing first, ANGELUS ARCHER!

Jr: Well, looks like somehow Angelus found his chance at a championship again.

King: It’s because he’s down with the clown!

KG: He must have sold his soul to the Melon Gods.

(Walking to the ring, wearing a custom robe with "Muhammad Ali" name on the back. Before he enters into the ring, he walks on the apron to the nearest corner, climbing on it, The Rock-esque. Then Ali enters the ring and removes his robe and gives it to announcer.

Announcer: Making his way to the ring, MUHAMMAD ALI!

Jr: This guy has been very impressive.

King: Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!

KG: Is that the actually Muhammad Ali, or is that just Will Smith?

(“Ultimate Countdown” blasts on the PA system. Daniel Bryan walks out on the stage. He nods to the crowd, and he does the “YES” chant down to the ring, he enters the ring, and he waits for his opponents.)

Announcer: And their opponent, DANIEL BRYAN!

Jr: Daniel has been at this a long time.

King: Yea, but he’s lost a long time too.

KG: YES! YES! YES! King, you’re right!

(“Radio” blasts on the PA system. Zack Ryder walks out on the stage, and he takes footage of his entrance before he enters the ring.)

Announcer: And the final contestant, ZACK RYDER!

Jr: And here is a favorite to win this match. It’s our grand slam champion in the hunt for the IC Championship once again.

King: I don’t think he can do it, not tonight.

KG: Depends guys, what do the Melon Gods want?

(The four men look up at the brief case containing the contract for a IC title shot hanging above their heads.)

DING! DING! DING!

(The four men stare at one another, waiting for the other to make a move. Finally, Bryan runs at Ali. Bryan attempts a kick to Ali’s gut, but Ali moves out of the way and cracks Bryan with a right hook which knocks Bryan out of the ring. From behind comes running Archer, he dives taking Ali out at the back of the legs. Ryder comes running over as Archer turns around and Ryder hits the ROUGH RYDER! Ryder gets back his feet, he jumps up hitting Ali with a dropkick which sends Ali out of the ring. Ryder rolls out of the ring, grabs a ladder and slides it into the ring. Ryder then runs, leaps up off of the steel steps attempting to smash his knee into the face of Bryan, but Bryan pushes Ryder’s leg out of the way and as Ryder’s feet hit the ground and he turns around he is met with a kick from Bryan to the gut and then Bryan hooks Ryder’s head and drops back hitting Ryder with a ddt.

Ryder runs, bounces off of the rope and puts both hands out running into the ladder and knocking it over, Ali jumps off just in time, but Bryan falls directly onto the ring ropes and springs off sending him flying and smashing into the canvas. Ryder then runs at Ali, once close enough Ryder attempts a lariat that Ali ducks, Ali throws a jab to Ryder’s gut and then comes up smashing Ryder with a hard European uppercut sending Ryder back into the turnbuckle. Ali climbs the turnbuckle, holds his fist into the air and begins to throw punches down into Ryder’s face as the crowd counts along.)

Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!

(On the tenth, Ali holds his hand in the air, but before he throws it down into Ryder’s face, Archer staggers over, hooks Ali under the legs and flings himself forward smashing Ali hard into the mat and as Archer turns around he’s met with a hard elbow from Ryder which sends Archer stumbling back and tripping over Ali, falls and rolls back to his feet. Ryder runs at Archer, leaps up to attempt a dropkick, but Archer moves aside and throws a kick to the gut of Ryder as Ryder is on his way down causing Ryder to smash into the mat grabbing at his belly.)

Jr: What action so far in this match Right now, it’s anybody’s to win!

KG: I wonder how the Melon Gods want this to end. We will find out soon enough.

King: As long as Bryan, Ryder, and Ali don’t win, I will be happy.

(Archer walks over grabbing the fallen ladder. By this time, Bryan is on his way to his feet. Archer runs at Bryan and swings the ladder smashing Bryan in the gut causing him to drop again and roll outside of the ring flopping to the outside floor grabbing at his ribs. Archer then turns his attention to Ryder, runs and smashes him in the face with the ladder, causing Ryder to start bleeding from the face as he falls again and rolls out of the ring to the outside flopping to the ground grabbing at his face. As Archer turns around, Ali is running at him, Ali leaps up dropkicking the ladder knocking it into Archer causing Archer to fall back into the turnbuckle with the ladder resting across on the middle rope. Ali backs up, sprints forward and as Ali leaps into the air, Archer pushes the ladder hard causing the ladder to swing around and smash Ali in the knee’s which drops Ali hard to the ground.

He slides in the ring and sets it up beside the other. He begins climbing up the ladder. Once equal with Archer and Bryan the three guys begin trading punches.

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Jr: BAH GAWD! Somebody call the paramedics, that was a hell of a fall!

KG: I’m guessing he didn’t drink his red bull.

King: And look at Ryder’s face, this match is brutal!

(As Ryder is wiping his eyes of blood, Bryan grabs Ryder by the arm and whips him into the ropes. On the return Bryan attempts a lariat that Ryder ducks and continues running. This time on the return Bryan smashes his knee into the gut of Ryder causing Ryder to flip over landing on his gut. Ryder pops up to his knees and Bryan begins his “YES!” Kicks to the chest of Ryder.

Ryder gets up, stumbles towards the ladder, but out of nowhere from the top rope Archer comes flying with a shoulder tackle to Ryder.

(“life is a lemon” blasts on the PA system. Karaoke Kid walks out on the stage, he plays to the crowd before entering the ring.)

JR-Karaoke Kid is looking to prove himself as an extreme wrestler.

King-He is wasting time with Daryl or Walter Melon…when he should be facing the man who is truly his arch nemesis…Marty Jannetty. That coward jumped through glass to run away from Shawn Michaels.
