Best Non-Match Moments/Highlights
• WWE Payback 2014 took place in Chicago and, as expected, the crowd loudly voiced their adoration for none other than “CM PUNK!”
• El Torito and Los Matadores did the hair cutting honors on Hornswoggle, much to the crowd’s delight.
• The Rhodes Brothers hyped themselves up before their big PPV encounter with Rybaxel.
• Paul Heyman made sure to crap all over Chicago’s hockey team when he mentioned that his former “Heyman Guy” was watching the game. He couldn’t help but mention that his client conquered “The Streak.”
• Cody admitted to Goldust that he would have to leave the team. Cody then told his brother that Goldust would need a better tag team partner than himself. Cody then took his walk of shame to the back while Goldust was left shocked in the ring.
• “WE WANT ZIGGLER!” chants could be heard during the Rusev/Big E encounter.
• The crowd seemed to be into Bo Dallas when they began screaming “WE BO-LIEVE!” after Kofi was destroyed by Kane.
• Stephanie McMahon headed out to the ring amid a chorus of boos once she came out to get Daniel Bryan’s decision on giving up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. If he chose not to give up the belts, his wife (Brie Bella) would get fired. Bryan entered the arena to a chorus of “YES!” chants alongside Brie. Stephanie got in an early verbal dig on Bryan and his wife after saying that one day they’d one day birth some bearded babies. Daniel responded by reminding her how the crowd felt about such a horrible woman/boss figure. Stephanie got in a nice jab at Punk when she told Daniel that the crowd wanted Daniel to quit just like Punk did. Daniel told Stephanie that he hoped her kids were watching so they could see how much of a bitch their mother truly was. After some more back and forth insults, Stephanie and Brie got into another heated argument. Brie soon Stephanie that she quit, which soon led to a vicious slap from Brie to the boss lady. The crowd cheered happily as Bryan held onto both belts.
• Jerry “The King” Lawler actually spout off something funny for once on commentary during the Alicia Fox/Paige championship match- “You never truly know a woman until you meet her in court.”
