The Visionary will be pinning Shinsuke and most importantly will be walking away with the title around his waist without any adversity coming in front. Expect a handful of stomps to rock the show but more importantly, expect Seth to pin the King clean without any interferences whatsoever.
#2 WWE Payback 2023 predictions – Shinsuke Nakamura defeats Seth clean
Well, Nakamura is being more of an anti-hero now instead of being the heel. So there is a possibility that he can have a face-turn with a victory against Seth Rollins which would again be a landmark moment for the King particularly with the long hiatus that he was forced to be in. Nakamura settled for the break for a particular reason and this title run should exactly justify for the pause that he went in.
#3 Damian Priest walks in and cashes in on Seth Rollins
Well, this can very well be another predominant possibility with the Archer of Infamy taking over the belt around his waist. He has been putting up a phenomenal run in recent times and would obviously be hounding around the two with the MITB contract on the line.
With all said and done, once these two are down and out, that is exactly when Damian walks out to cash in and well, the belt may be finally his.
#4 Damian Priest tries cash in, Finn Balor objects, Seth runs away with the title
Well, the friction between Damian Priest and Finn Balor is still growing under the façade of unity that is being propelled by Rhea Ripley. With Seth and Shinsuke going head on, things may turn into a dogfight with both amazing wrestlers baring themselves out, Damian Priest would be attempting a cash in and there comes Finn gatecrashing the party. The rest is all about Seth retaining his title and a new feud between Finn and Priest.
#5 Seth Rollins wins the match-up via disqualification
Shinsuke Nakamura last night on #WWERAW really said that he wants Becky Lynch to know he’s the reason for her having to help Seth Rollins out of bed.
He’s the reason Seth won’t be able to walk his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day.

Well, Shinsuke Nakamura goes all berserk and unleashed hell on Seth without caring for the result just to make sure that he sends out a message. He dominates Finn, destroys him and walks out without even caring for the upshot. Typical King they say.
