WWE SmackDown Results (5/7): WWE Title Contract Signing, Neville, Dolph Ziggler, New Day In Action
Welcome to our WrestlingINC.com Smackdown coverage. Tonight we'll see a contract signing for the big Fatal 4-Way title match at WWE Payback!
Jerry "The King" Lawler is in the ring talking about the King of the Ring. He brings out King Barrett, who says he's the only King in the WWE. He tries to make Lawler say "All hail King Barrett," but no dice. He sets up for the Bull Hammer, but Dolph Ziggler interrupts him.
Dolph Ziggler vs. King Barrett
Barrett is running things early, but Ziggler hits a dropkick that sends the King reeling to the outside as we cut to a commercial break. We come back to Ziggler missing a splash in the corner, and Barrett starts working over his back and neck. Winds of Change gets two before Ziggler kicks out.
Ziggler starts to turn things around, but Sheamus runs in the ring to cause a DQ.
Winner: Dolph Ziggler via DQ
Neville rushes out to make the save, and sends the heels outside the ring. The fans chant for Neville, and we have a tag team match, playa.
Neville & Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus & King Barrett
We come back to Barrett and Sheamus beating down Neville, who needs a tag badly. Barrett lands a huge boot to Neville's face and makes the tag. Sheamus lands his clubbing blows, but Neville sends Sheamus into the ring post.
Ziggler gets the tag and beats the hell out of Barrett before knocking Sheamus off the apron. The big DDT from Ziggler gets a 2 count, and a superkick can't get the job done either. Neville dives to the outside on Sheamus, and knocks Barrett's feet off the ropes as he tries to cheat Ziggler. Dolph hits the Zig Zag for the pin.
Winners: Dolph Ziggler & Neville via pinfall (Zig Zag)

Winner: Luke Harper via pinfall (discus clothesline)
Erick Rowan's music hits and he gets face to face with Harper. He hits a full nelson slam and leaves his sheep mask for Harper.
- Lana is in the ring smiling, and the crowd is cheering for her. She thanks the crowd and says to not cheer her because it angers Rusev. He comes out and sends her to the back, before telling John Cena that all of his wins were a fluke. He says Payback will be their final battle.
- Roman Reigns says he hates Rollins and Orton, but he likes Dean Ambrose. He knows Ambrose will do whatever it takes to win, so will he.

Kofi Kingston kicks at Ryback early, and follows up with a couple of elbows before being dropped by the big guy. Kidd gets a tag, as he and Ryback hit an inverted atomic drop/dropkick. Woods and Cesaro are in the ring, and Woods walks right into a clothesline.

- Kane is in the ring for the Payback WWE Title match contract signing. The three challengers are brought out, but Seth Rollins stays on the ramp with J&J. Reigns signs, and Ambrose threatens to drag Rollins to the ring. Rollins says Kane has the authority to sign the contract for him, so he'll do that instead.
Mercury gets the contract. Rollins says that Reigns signs his name better than he wrestles, and says Dean used to say the only because of his dad. Kane and Rollins start arguing after he signs. While they argue, Ambrose sets up the table in the corner. The heels catch him and he says "We all know how this is gonna end, I call dibs on the table." He then rolls Mercury up the table and all hell breaks loose. Dives, Superman punches, RKOs an flying knees leave only Rollins standing to close the show.
