John Cena accepted Bray Wyatt's challenge 


GREENSBORO, N.C. – With WWE Payback fast approaching, the leader of the Cenation tempted the fury of the monster, with a pair of high-flying equalizers ready to watch his backJohn Cena kicked off SmackDown, accepting Bray Wyatt’s challenge for a Last Man Standing Match at WWE Payback. However, considering Cena’s extensive history in that particular type of match, he figured the only reason his dangerous foe would dare propose the stipulation was because he didn’t have any “marbles” in his head. Cena then threw down the gauntlet and challenged any member of The Wyatt Family to a SmackDown showdown, allowing The Eater of Worlds to choose the opponent!

Wyatt and his disciplines soon emerged on the TitanTron, thanking Cena for helping him find the cure to his adversary’s “plague” – namely to take the air from his lungs. The self-professed “god” then followed up another frightening rendition of “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands,” with a single word: “burn"!


John Cena def. Erick Rowan

Despise John Cena’s earlier challenge to take on any member of The Wyatt Family leader’s choosing, it looked as if the “New Face of Fear” came to SmackDown’s main event ready to launch a 3-on-1 assault. However, the sudden addition of WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos made the creepy trio put that plan on hold.

Instead of taking on the match himself, Bray then chose Erick Rowan to face the leader of the Cenation. As the action of the hard-fought contest reached a fevered pitch, The Usos disposed of an interfering Luke Harper, paving the way for the 11-time WWE Champion to rally back from the Claw and triumph over Rowan with an Attitude Adjustment.
