John Cena paid Ryback back for their no contest at Extreme Rules when he defeated the insatiable challenger to his WWE Championship in Three Stages of Hell.

Ryback was off to a good start at Payback when he defeated Cena in a Lumberjack Match to take the first fall, but Cena would fire back with victories in both the Tables and Ambulance Matches to retain the WWE title.

Cena surprised Ryback, the lumberjacks, and the WWE Universe when he dove from the top rope to wipe out everyone below him in the first of the three stages - but back inside the ring Ryback left the champ Shell Shocked for the first fall.

It's time for payback, WWE Payback, live today on pay-per-view.

John Cena and Ryback will attempt to pay each other back for a no contest during their last man standing match at Extreme Rules. The two headline Payback in Three Stages of Hell: A Lumberjack Match, a Tables Match, and, if required, an Ambulance Match to decide who will leave Chicago as WWE Champion.

Speaking of Chicago, Second City Saint CM Punk returns to WWE with Chris Jericho heading up the welcoming committee. The two collide in Jericho vs. Punk III to determine who, once and for all, is the best in the world.

Plus, Dolph Ziggler defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio; AJ Lee gets a shot at Kaitlyn's Divas Championship; Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton team up for a shot at The Shield's tag team titles and more.

Join the NZPWI Roundtable as we break down the card for WWE Payback.

The Shield have suffered their first pinfall loss in six-man tag team action at the hands of Daniel Bryan, Kane and Randy Orton.

The trio, who will face The Shield in various combinations at WWE Payback today, were anything but a cohesive unit at the top of the night but got it together in time for their six-man main event with Ambrose, Reigns and Rollins.

Bryan and Rollins found themselves as the legal men in a rematch of sorts from their clash on Raw.

Bryan soon put Rollins on the mat and scaled the top rope but had his leg snapped by Ambrose.

By the time Bryan was able to break free Rollins had recovered and rolled out of the way of a diving headbutt, leaving Bryan to crash to the mat.

The Miz built momentum heading into Payback with a win over Cody Rhodes on Main Event.

Miz, who will compete for the Intercontinental Championship on Monday's pay-per-view, took the fight to Rhodes while Wade Barrett, the reigning Intercontinental title holder, watched from behind the commentary table.

Barrett was impressed with The Miz's dedication in the ring despite what he claimed to be an injured arm.

The injured arm prevented The Miz from successfully giving Rhodes a Skull Crushing Finale, said Barrett, and allowed Rhodes to ram Miz shoulder-first against the ring post.

Triple H was back with his sights set once again on Curtis Axel, but again his father-in-law and boss Vince McMahon shut down Triple H’s quest for revenge.  And as WWE’s two biggest egos and two most powerful men clashed Stephanie McMahon stepped in to forge an uneasy truce.  Meanwhile, with WWE Payback just around the corner, Paul Heyman was busy getting his latest client into a title match, Ryback and John Cena clashed one last time before their match for the WWE Championship, and the jostling between Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, Kane and The Shield continued.

As we hit the halfway mark in 2013, WWE's June pay-per-view, Payback, comes to us live on Monday afternoon. We take a look at the upcoming PPV and its championship match.

We also discuss the McMahon family drama currently unfolding on Raw, and we bring you our thoughts on who really is the Best in the World. 

All this and more in this week's edition of Gimme Five.
