WWE is planning on continuing the Evolution vs. The Shield feud at Payback. It’s currently believed that the two teams will have another six-man tag team match, but there is talk of doing three singles matches between the members of each group. WWE is trying to find a way to make both teams look strong at the same time.
As previously reported, Daniel Bryan vs. Kane in a Buried Alive Match is also being discussed for the event. This could be a way to write Kane off of WWE TV, as he will be doing promotional work for See No Evil 2 during the summer and fall.
John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt and Adam Rose vs. Jack Swagger are also rumored for WWE Payback.
