It was already known that Evolution (Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista) and The Shield (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose) would be facing off again, but it was revealed on the Monday Night RAW pre-show that the match will have the added stipulation of being a No Holds Barred elimination match, not a standard six-man tag like they had at Extreme Rules on May 4.
It was also revealed on Monday Night RAW that Rob Van Dam will battle Bad News Barrett for the WWE Intercontinental Championship after he won a Beat the Clock Challenge on RAW with his time beating Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Van Dam defeated Alberto Del Rio on the show.

The third match on the card that was confirmed on Friday's SmackDown is a Last Man Standing match between John Cena and Bray Wyatt as the two will clash for the third consecutive pay-per-view event.
It has been rumored that Adam Rose will make his in-ring debut and take on Jack Swagger at Payback as the two have been feuding on-screen for the last two weeks. It remains to be seen what Cesaro will be doing as he has feuded with Swagger and RVD in the last couple of weeks but both seem booked for Payback.
It is possible that Cesaro will battle Sheamus for the United States Championship after he earned a non-title victory over him on RAW.
The WWE World Heavyweight Championship scenario remains a mystery as Daniel Bryan is sidelined for at least 2-3 months if not longer after undergoing neck surgery to repair a minor broken neck. Bryan was slated to face Kane in a Buried Alive match, but the contest was never officially announced and now will not happen.
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley revealed on RAW that she is not stripping Bryan of the title but wants him to forfeit the gold next Monday on RAW in Tennessee. It remains to be seen what will happen with the gold and where Kane will stand regarding Payback.
