Roman Reigns returns to take on Braun Strowman at WWE Payback.
This Sunday is the WWE Payback pay-per-view. It will take place in San Jose, CA from the SAP Center. Coming off WrestleMania 33 it is now that time of the year where WWE wraps up the WrestleMania feuds and start the slow build towards SummerSlam. Payback is a RAW-exclusive event. However, this event will feature two interpromotional matches due to the Superstar Shake-Up mixing up the roster.
Every championship, besides the newly acquired Intercontinental Championship, will be on the line. On the kickoff show we have a tag match between Enzo and Big Cass vs The Club and a Miz TV segment with Finn Balor. The King of the Cruiserweights, Neville defends his title against Austin Aries. Seth Rollins takes on the man that injured his knee when he goes one on one with Samoa Joe.
In the first ever House of Horrors match Bray Wyatt looks to get revenge on the WWE Champion, Randy Orton. The hometown hero Bayley defends her RAW Women’s Championship against Alexa Bliss. Could we see Sasha Banks finally turn heel?
The Hardy Boys defend the RAW Tag Team Championships against Cesaro and Sheamus. Will we continue to play the waiting game or will the Hardy’s finally be Broken?
The United States Championship is on the line in a WrestleMania rematch between Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho. Finally, Roman Reigns makes his return after the beating he took from Braun Strowman when he gets another shot at the Monster Among Men. So, to recap:
