During the kickoff of WWE Payback, Kalisto managed to retain the WWE United States Championship by defeating Kalisto with his "Salida del Sol". The match kept the audience on the edge of their seats as it turned out to be more exciting than expected.
During his entrance, Ryback mocked CM Punk by making the characteristic wrist signal and shouting "It's Clobbering Time". Immediately, the crowd turned against him, shouting "Goldberg" and "You can't fight", as the event took place in Illinois, home of the now UFC.
The match could be considered the best that Ryback has had in his time in WWE, as the masked wrestler managed to demand his maximum performance. To some extent, they have both understood each other very well after several matches.
The match came to an end when Kalisto applied the "Salida del Sol" and got the three-second count.
