On Saturday, Sept. 2 at 8:00 p.m. ET, WWE presents its latest premium live event, Payback 2023. This is the first time that Payback will air since 2020, which saw Roman Reigns win the Universal Championship, which he still holds to this day. The event will be held at PPG Paints Arena, the first WWE premium live event they will host since Extreme Rules 2018, a show headlined by Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins in a 30-minute Iron Man match for the Intercontinental Championship.
Payback 2023 is a six-match card, four of which will be title matches.
The scheduled main event of Payback will be Rollins defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. The other title matches on the show are Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defending against The Judgment Day (Finn Balor and Damian Priest) in a Steel City Street Fight, Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley taking on Raquel Rodriguez, and United States Champion Rey Mysterio facing Austin Theory.
Rounding out the card are Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus in a Steel Cage match and LA Knight vs. The Miz.
