WWE Payback 2023 is scheduled to take place on September 2 at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. It is the fallout premium live event after SummerSlam, and there is a slight chance that fans may witness some rematches from the Biggest Party of Summer at this event.
Notably, this will be the first edition of WWE Payback since the one which happened inside the Thunderdome in 2020. Roman Reigns competed in a triple threat match against Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman in the main event of that show. Reigns defeated the former Wyatt Family members to become the new WWE Universal Champion.

While Roman Reigns has some history with this premium live event, he will not compete at WWE Payback 2023. The Tribal Chief is absent from the list of Superstars whom WWE has advertised for the show.

List of matches for Payback premium live event
WWE is yet to announce any matches for the Payback show in September. The match card should feature around seven to eight matches. The list of advertised Superstars makes it clear that Seth Rollins will defend his World Heavyweight Championship on the show.
Similarly, Rhea Ripley will defend her Women’s World Championship, while Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will put the Undisputed Tag Team Championships on the line. US Champion Austin Theory and Intercontinental Champion Gunther have also been confirmed for the show, meaning both the mid-card titles will be on the line.

With Bianca Belair and Asuka present on the poster, one can assume that IYO Sky will defend her newly won Women’s Championship as well. Overall, it should be an exciting show.
