We noted before that the plan for WWE’s Payback pay-per-view next month was Batista vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE World Heavyweight Title but Batista turned down and is leaving to take time off about a month early.
Coming out of Extreme Rules, nothing is settled regarding the Payback main event, it’s still “up in the air”, even though Batista got pinned in the Evolution vs. The Shield match. WWE officials are not happy at all with Batista changing their plans for Payback.
Vince McMahon still wants Batista vs. Bryan as the main event for Payback and he along with other officials are still trying to convince Batista to stay and work Bryan next month. The plan coming out of Extreme Rules is if they can’t convince Batista to work with Bryan at Payback, then they will do Kane vs. Bryan in a Buried Alive Match. F4WOnline added that Kane sitting up at the end of the Extreme Rules match with Bryan was done because WWE felt they needed that as a closing image in case they go with Kane vs. Bryan for Payback.
Even though Extreme Rules is Batista’s last advertised appearance for this current run, he will be in Albany for tonight’s RAW and could be booked in a segment for his exit with The Shield.
