Stephanie McMahon is shown walking backstage when she approaches a crew member, and she tells him to find her father and tell him it's about business. She tells the man it's urgent and walks away, then she approaches another man and says he needs to find HHH and tell him his wife is looking for him. Stephanie says to also tell him it's personal, and they should meet in the office, then she looks at her phone and starts to walk away. We get back from a break to see HHH and Vince arguing with each other, then Stephanie screams at them to cut it out and work things out. Vince says he wants big things for HHH, and Curtis Axel is good but this goes past his wrestling accomplishments, and he wants him to be 'the man.' He says he wants HHH to make the right decisions, and HHH says he sees where he is coming from and Vince says he can have the match. HHH says Vince was right and they don't need the match, then Vince says he wants to see it and he insists. They argure a bit more until Stephanie tells them to make progress and bond, then they share an awkward hug before they part ways.
John Cena and Ryback make their way into the arena but Ryback stops on the stage, then Cena asks why he's not in the ring and tells him to get there. Ryback mocks him and says he must be scared, but Cena says the lumberjacks are there to prevent any physicality, and it will be different Sunday. He says they will do their job on Sunday, but Ryback says he could tear through all of them if he wanted to, and he needs to trust him. Ryback says this is for Cena's safety, not his, but Cena says he's been sending plenty of messages lately, and he knows Ryback means damage. Ryback says he deserves to be champion because he should have won it three times already, then he talks about how he's been screwed over in title matches. Cena says he gave him his spot at Hell In A Cell, but Ryback says Cena got scared that he was getting too good, too fast.
Ryback starts to talk but Cena tells him to shut up, and he says Ryback spends too much time bitching about everyone else, instead of his own mistakes. Cena says he's walking into Hell on Sunday, but he's still walking out with his championship, only Ryback calls him full of crap. Ryback says his eyes are open and he knows Cena, and the legend of Cena will stop when he beats him, puts him through a table and in the back of an ambulance. Ryback says eight months ago, Cena might have given him his spot, but this Sunday he is going to take his spot. Cena says Payback will be a bitch this Sunday, then he tries to rush the stage but the lumberjacks cut him off and make him stay in the ring. Ryback tries to sneak in but Cena throws him outside, then they try to fight but the lumberjacks break them up and keep them isolated in the corners.
