This model would be used, for example, in the famous Pied Piper of Hamelin story:

Who will pay for ridding the town of rats?
Who will pay the piper? Who pays the piper calls the tune.

"The wall" is not the direct object, but the indirect one, so a preposition is needed.

Who will pay for the wall?

Should be "Who will pay for the wall?"
