The main match going into Payback was Ryan Septim and John Cena in a ladder match. On the Velocity after Wrestlemania, John Cena noticed Ryan Septim, and how much he has grown since his debut. Ryan Septim said he did not need Cena's approval, being followed by a cheer by the fans. Cena then challenged Septim to a match at Extreme Rules, which Septim accepted. Septim then interrupted a match between Cena and Bad News Barrett, which ended up being for the Intercontinental Championship. Septim attacked Bad News, so Barrett won, meaning Cena would not get a rematch. Cena did the same thing, to Septim, making him lose a United States Championship match with Dean Ambrose. Riley Septim told Cena to lay off his brother, then attacked Cena. Cena then teamed with Chris Jericho to face the Septim Brothers, which the latter ended up winning. Cena then went one on one with Riley Septim on Heat a few days later, which Cena came out on top. At Extreme Rules, Septim defeated Cena, in a fair fight. The next Thursday on Velocity, Cena said he wanted a rematch at Payback, that he wanted to beat Septim. However, when called out, Riley Septim came out, and said he wanted Cena that night in the main event. Cena accepted, and defeated Septim that night. The next week on Velocity, Ryan Septim didn't show up again. The next week on Heat, Septim opened the show on top of a ladder, and told a story of how he should be the face of WWE. Septim got many cheers, and was totally over with the crowd. Cena responded, saying that their match at Payback, was now a ladder match. When Cena hit the ring, Riley attacked him from behind, but Cena retaliated, and pushed the ladder over Septim was on, and Ryan went into the announcers table.

Another main event match for Payback was Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio battling for the WWE Championship. At Extreme Rules, both men fought to a no contest. The next week on Velocity, Bryan said that he would face Del Rio at Payback. Del Rio responded by saying that this match he would not let himself lose unfairly, as it was now an Extreme Rules match. Later on, Del Rio went against Ryan Septim, and Bryan came out with a kendo stick, and beat down Del Rio. This took Del Rio out of action until Payback.
